The opening of the Menard Opera
Hall, Friday evening, was an occasion
to which all looked forward with pleas
urable anticipations, and a crowded
house greeted the Plunkett Sisters ORA
matte Co., whose pleasure it was to give
the first entertainment in the hall in
which our citizens take such a conscious
pride, and for the provision of which
Mr.. Menard has the hearty thanks OF
the community. "The Ticket of Leave
Man" was on this evening performed,
and met with the approval it merited.
On the following evening the company
presented "Flirtation," play, which
in our opinion, was far better adapted
to the troupe, and in which they seem
ed to be perfectly at home. L. o. Hart
In the character of the Yankee lawyer
was brim full, bubbling over with humor
and kept the audience convulsed with
laughter whenever he appeared on thu
stage, and the other members of thu
company sustained their parts well.
