The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-10-28
THEATRICAL CHITCHAT.

Inc week mas Deell II very pleaSanC ana
successful one at the Grand. The Grismer-
Davies company has given great satisfac-
ton and played to the largest business OF
the season, doing better than the Stevens
company. Mr.. Grismtr is a good actor,
who showed his ability to the best in
the character Of Edmund Dantes in
Monte Cristo," which was presented on
Friday night. Miss Davies is an actress of
decided talent and remarkable versatility.
She is a ~painstaking and conscientious &C
tress and is a great f~avorite with patrons Of
the Grand. The support is good and the
result is an even and pleasant performance.
THERE is a possibility that this company
may return to Butte after their Helena en-
gAyement, which begins on Wednesday even
NJ. and play an extra week, with an entire
change Of bills. There is d general demand
upon Mr.. Mcguire on the part OF his pat
roas to re-engage the company for another
week and if Manager Morgenstern can can
Gel his dates for next week we will probably
have the pleasure Of having Mr.. Grisiner
and Miss Davies with us another week. !
feel sure that their second weeks business
will be equal to the first.

IT has been somewhat chilly for the va
riety shows during the past week. The gal
lerv in the Grand has been drawing a large
number OF the ''Tegulars' and the transient
business has been light. The Globe closed
after an unsuccessful season, and the To-
ledo also ]succumbed to the pressure, but
has again been r%eopaned, and last evening
Bobby Gaylor, the great Irish COMEDIAN,
assumed the stage management. The Arlon
and the Comiuue nave been holding their
own, however, and are giving excellent per-
forsnances and seem TO be thriving.
The new ordinance for "offenses against
the morals and good ORDER OF the eity has
had the effect to tone down the afterpieces,
which were becoming somewhat broad ana
oud.
