pendent says: by far the best vaudeville
company that has ever appeared in Helena,
opened at Ming's Opera House last evening,
to a large and appreciative audience. The
company, few in number, are all picked
artists, selected especially for their various
parts, and in their renditions OF comedy,
melody, or high opera, they readily
stamped themselves as leaders in the pro-
%fession. The play, Scraps" like all
pieces OF the kind, contains no expressed or

show the versatility and vocal powers OF the
members. Special mention OF any individ-
ual performer would be superdous, and
aside from Master frankie Jones, a -outh-
his realistic female representations, par
ticularization is unnecessary. This
little lad, however, captured the audi
ence at his first appearance, and sc sue
ceeded in delighting his hearers that he was
continually tncored and incessantly kept
on the stage throughout the entire per-
Torrance. The company is all that was
claimed for it prior to it's advent in the
