that is so far as amusements are con-
cerned. About the only thing new in
theatrical circles in this city is the
fact that Manager Charles III. Collins
has given up the management of the
opera house. There is one thing that
can truly be said and that is, that the
manager has had some of the best at
fractions on the road and it might be
possible that it was in this manner
he lost the most money. His largest
loss on the Bo- ton Ideals was in the
neighborhood of S2UJ an,l the last but
not least, was the McNish, johnson
and Slavin's Ministries. He will con-
tinue to manage the house the rest of
this season.
By far the greatest comedy attrac-
tion of the season will be at Woods
opera house Tuesday evening, May
4th. The Toledo, o., Evening Bee
says: eff you want a genuine hearty
laugh 90 the Peoples theatre and see
Nugget. This play has caught on
immensely and well does it deserve
the success which it has met "Stand-
ing room only" was the order of the
evening, every seat beipg occupied.
Nugget" is one of those rollicking
comedies full of funny situations
which keeps one eonvulsed with
laughter in spite of himself. The
shouts which greeted every hit last
night could have been heard blocks |
away. Miss Josie Sisson, who sp-
pears in the title role, is an excellent
little actress and possesses a beautiful
voice" The support is said to be ex-
cellent.
Mr.. Charles Collins, who has won
a most enviable list of friends during
his management of the opera house,
will be rendered benefit some time
this month, probably about the 18th.
1t is to be hoped that his patronage
will be in accordance with his merits.
The cast has not vet been selected,
but will be among the best local tai.
