| In an interview yesterday with Manager
Samuel Wsldmsn, OF Blacks opera house, n
| GLOBE RErunLIc reporter was told that the
attractions booked for that house this season,
are OF the very best, and II they do not draw
well, it is conclusive evidence that SPRING
field is most certaiuly poor paying town.
The house has undergone thorough remOd-
elling this summer so as to make it one Of
the prettest and most attractive theatres in
the west. 1t will be opened positively Sep
'ember q by Miss Estella Clayton scharming
| play entitled, "Favstte." This play had
| quite run last winter in New York, draw
ing immense houses every night. For
| the first six weeks of its run
the card announcing "Saniing room
only" appeared every night without II
single exception. Miss Clayton is said to be
an exceedingly charming little actress, capti-
waiting any one who goes to see her She is
ranked with Lotta and Minnie Palmer which
is enough to establish in the minds Of all
play going people the fact that an opportunity
| to see her once neglected will always he re.
| GREETED Miss Clayton plays but one night
in this city, and the opera house will, un-
douhtedly, he pacHed by the crowd that will
go to gee her. Next on the lis, is Lester 4
Aliens famous mins,rels, with the champion
John l. Sullivan. This troupe, it is well
understood, is in the front ranks OF minstrelsy
in this country, and never fails to draw II
packed house wherever it shows. Then
comes Geo. X. Knights popular "Oyer the
Garden Wall" This is the first
time this play has ever visited
this city, and if the lovers
OF fun, only knew what was in store for

p,itting, button.busting show. Then comes
the great and only I'VE, Us 4 Co., acknowl-
edged to be the most laughabe show "on the
road For the next show on the programme
nothing need be said. We speak of the "Par.
lor Match" by the same author as the 'Buuch
of Keys. This play was presented in this
city las, season, and those who saw it then
| can speak for themselves. Miss Jennie Yeat-
man, the popular artistic, is with this COM
pany. Springfield is noted for knack of pro-
curing everything ION the road This year
she has secured au entirely new play called
"Satau's Judgment II is a spectacular
play OF the best kind. Then comes the ever
and always popular Barney McCauley, in his
play OF "a Messenger from Jarvis Station. -
Nothing. need further be said concerning
this play than to cay that it
will he the same old Barney, and his own Sc.
lect company. The house will also have the
| pleasure OF presenting to the public the fol
lowing well known plays: "Xoo-Zoo, the
Magic Queen" Frederick Wade; Tom
keene; The Ada Richmond Bisic.que aud

tress, Miss Rose Coghlan, in an entirely new
