Hotoorth's Grand H5be1eca Company 10 -Ap-
pear IA The C0iu1 House 0i Monday EeeIiing,
December 7th, has better and a larger CON-
pany than ever, and in addition his new
panorama is pronounced by number OF
exchanges as superior to anything ever be-
fore produced. From Mirersyille Pa, pa
per. where Howorth's Company lately ap-
peared, we copy the following press notice
Howorth's Grand Hibernica and Dublin
Dan Company gave one of their pleasing
and delightful entertainments in Mountain
eer Hall last Friday evening. The hall,
which has seating capacity of eight hun
dred, filed to suffocation long before the
rising of the curtain. The legend, stand
ing room only" could not check the tide OF
people who rushed for the interior nsking
bodily injuries and all the discomforts of a
denseIy packed building. At Il quarter oi
eight every inch of room available was TAX
en- up and in order to insure the safety OF
those within, the sale of tickets was stopped,
and in consequence hundreds were com
PEELED to turn away. The play in its entire
ty showed marked improvement over the
many Hibernica companies which are travel
ing this region on the strength of the repu-
tation Mr. Howorth has earned in The past.
The dancing of Fenton described the most
difficult motions in the poetry of dance.
The blunders of the two Dams elected side
splitting laughter and provoked thunders OF
applause. Their acting was faultless, and
their meeting after so many blunders arising
from the resemblance they bore eaeh other
forcibly reminded one of Shakespeare's Gre
alton of the two Dromios when they met
and exclaimed together. Methinks you
are my glass and not my BROTHER Without
particularizing the other celebrities. we will
briefly say the special parts assigned them
were admirably sustained and won the high
est encomiums. Tne scenery was superb.
Altogether, the Howorth Company scored a
decided success. and their return this way
will be greeted by as large house rs filled
Mountaneer Hall.
