stage. The supporting company is especially
strong, rs will be seen from the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer in regard TO a
recent performances: 70 Bad Men" is a
little calculated 10 inhame the curiosity of
theater patrons. 1t attracted fair audience
to the Grand Opera House last night, and
proved to be 3 burlesque or rather, gro.
teseue, production, depending for favor
mainly on the singing and dancing
which are INTRODUCED, and the absurd situa-
tionE. MIR. William Gill, the author of
the piece, and Mr.. Paul Arthur are ths
conspicuous figures in the cast, and each one
successfully assumes four different charac-
tiers. They worked conscientiously TO please
the audience, and had considerable recogni-
ton 10 applause and laUg ter. Mr.. T. Q.
SeabroOke made good buriesq1e fly dstec-
tive Miss Marion Fiske ana Miss Eioie
Ssabrooke did some very good work ia
musical lines and the popularity OF the
singing and light fantastic ought - be al
admonition to the management 10 throw in
as much as possible. 1t takes an exceeding
ly funny burlesque to stand on its lines aud
action. Two Bad Men is booked for the
whole week az the Grand, and the audience
gave it quite 'send-of' last night"
