Attractions.
A REGISTER reporter met Mr.. Frank
Hennig last evening and said to him:
MANY are under the impression, Mr..
Hennig, that your company disbaDded
through financial embarrassment
They are mistaken. That is trial
Miss Moore has never experienced. Her
career has been very successful one, and
more so the past season than any other.
She has just completed n remarkably long
season OF siNty-eight weeks, embracing the
vast territory from coast to coast and from
Maine to the Gulf. Miss Moore was . per-
feet stranger to the West, and | consider
her success in that country phenomenal.
The people were captiyated with her,
socially and artistically, everywhere
In San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Ange-
les, in fact the entire West. the manage
ment received earnest requests to play
return engagements, but owing TO the eX-
cessiyely long season and enormous travel
Miss Moore felt the great necessity OF rest
ing, consequently our season was brought
to temporary close at Des Moines, Iowa,
OH last Saturday night n week ago, the
manager being able to meet all demands"
will you rejoin the Company"
"For a few days only, commencing
Thanksgiving, after which they will again
rest until the holidays. In the meantime
| think will organize dramatic class and
if find suitable material
/ will produce some Shakesperean or soci-
ETY. dramas soon. teaching proves prof
liable enough will remain in Wheeling
until thesummer months. | am pretty well
worn out by travel and think rest will
greatly benefit me-"
What are Miss Moore's intentions for
next season.
Mr. Gregg, her manager who, by the
way, is an estimable gentleman, is ncgo-
tiating for new play, which, if he secures
and surrounds his star with a good COM
pany, Miss Moore, prophesy, will he one
of the great successes of the coming sea
son.
a Rag Baby will he given at the
Opera House, tomorrow evening. The
Baby" became popular from the instant
of its first presentation here, and the pop
ularity will undoubtedly continue for
some time TO come. II is q play that n
person my sec many times and still enjoy.
Its wit is so pungcnt and its characters
80 strongly drawn, that, eNtravagant ~
some of them are, the piece rs an entirety
is the most amusing production of this pc
culiar kind. Frank Daniels, Miss Bessie
Samson, Harry Conor, Helen lticmer, and
other favoritcs will be in the east, also
the fascinating Handsome" the homlicst
dog alive. There will undoubtedly he n
rousing house.

performance.

Thursday evening, giving Gayton's com:
edy-drama, "Jacquinc; or, Paste and
Diamonds The play - very
interesting one, differing from the
general run in that it was not written
to fit the personal pcculiarities of som'
star, and is therefore of intrinsic merit.
The old story of the long lost child discov'
cred by her mother, the drunken father
etc, is repeated with new details, but de
spite of all that, the plot is q most enter
tanning one, and keeps the audience inter
ested from the rise of the curtain in The
