During Encampment Week the great Sen.
saton Novelty and Burlesque Company will
appear at the Opera House every evening
and in Saturday matinee, with an entire
change of programme at every performance.
Thisis the largest company that ever played
q long engagement in this city, and as the
members are the very best specially artists
in their line, the Opera House should be
crowded all next week. This company dur
ing the past season was received everywhere
with generous patronage and the press
throughout the country was warm in praise
of the artistic abilities Of this organization.
The Opera House has been renovated
throughout and the management, in opening
the season with this big attraction, places
the price of admission within the reach of
all. The very low sum of twenty five cents
for gallery and fifty cents for the parquette
and dress circle will be charged, and we adj
wise our readers to secure their seats now on
sale at Simon music store at once and avoid
the annoyance of having to wait at the
doors.
