"MoNTE CRIsTo" attracted but fair
sized audience to Blanchard Opera-house
last week Wednesday evening, while the
house ought to have been full. The COM
pany is an excellent one the support to the
leading actors being far better than is often
seen in travelling companies and very even
throughout. The drama affords repeated
opportunities for fine work on the part OF
those who sustain the leading roles and
these were made the most of in every in
stance. Some of the stage effects, too, were
exceptionally fine. The company went to
Barre Thursday night and played to large
mousse, altllOu8I Ullelr coming was dllnOunCeu
but twenty-four hours in advance.
