The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1883-12-05

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. S. Knight appeared
at the Opera House Saturday night In
Baron Rudolph" supported by an eX-
cellent company. One of the finest au-
dienCes of the season gathered to Wit
ness the performance of the play, which
is an unusually good one in many re-
spects, and affords ample scope rOr the
display of those peculiar talents that
have made the Knights such prime fa-
vorites throughout the country. Mr..
Knight as Dancing Rudy, the tramp,
was all that could be desired, and gave
to the part characterization that won
the hearts of mis- audience. Mrs. Knight
as Nellie Eastwood, the fun loving
widow, was as bright and sprightly as
ever. The other members of the com
pany did eXcellont service in their re
spscLive parts, and the play met with a
hearty reception from the large audi
ence present.
Tomorrow evening the long looked
for event of the season takes place-the
appearance of the celebrated Mrs. Lang
try, who will make her bow tO Canton
audience as Miss HaTdcastle in Gold
smiths beautiful comedy, she StOOpS
to Conquer" OF her performance of
this difficult part the New York Herald
has the following: Mrs. Lanqtry's i'm
persOnatiOn of Miss HaTdcastle, which
has not been seen in this city hereto
fore, was a remarkably successful piece
of work. and it was received with very
emphatic marks of appreciation. Hearty
applause and calls before the curtain,
followed nearly every act. None of tho
roles in which she has been seen here
thus far has suited Mrs. LangtTy so well
as that which she played last night.
None of them gives ampler room for the
display of her grace, heI beauty aud her
talent, and there is none which makes
so few demands upon her dramatic pow.
eTs which she cannot satisfy"
