OF all the attraction announced at
the opera house this season, none is
Jolly Pathfinders. This is the COM
pany which delighted one of the
largest and finest audiences of last
season, with their superbly comical
six Peas in a Pod" This season
they present "Scraps''-a musical
melange which night after night has
delighted crowded houses in Wheel
ing, St. Louis, Cleveland and other
cities, and which is pronounced the
acme of perfection in musical COM
edy. The record of the Pathtinders
has for eight years been one of I'M
broken success. Each year has seen
some addition of genuine merit, until
o the company has no superior in
this country. The manager and
proprietor, Mr.. j. N. Rentfrow,
though a man of not more than mid
die age, is one of the oldest caterers
to public amusement in this country.
He is one of the original Milton
Jaspers, who years ago astonished
and delighted circus patrons from
ocean to ocean. As an acrobat, a
few years ago he had no superior.
but lately he has not pursued this
line !; and as a dialect artist, to-day
he stands without a peer. He is enc
of the few finished comedians-never
OVERRIDING his part, and never failing
to bring downthe house. In Scraps
he assumes a character which is a
revelation in comedy he is excruci-
atingIy funny. The company is the
most pleasing in all respects that has
visited this city in years. With the
party is little frankie Jones, Of
whom the Wheeling Register said:
"This little gentleman is a comedian
of more that ordinary attainments.
In his sp~ecialties he is incompatible,
and the hearts of btase theatre goers
were fairly captured by him."
The sale of reserved seats for the
P%athinders' appearance, Tuesday,
Jan. 5, is already opened by Manager
Armstrong at the price of so cents.
Tuesday evening the same excellent
band which the Pathfnders had las,
year will give an open air concert
from the balcony Of the Central
hotel, which house will be the head.
quarters of the company during their
visit. All should hear this concert,
as it is sure to be of the highest order
of music.
