TONIGHT.

Charles L. Davis as Alvin Joslin will ap-
pear al the opera house tonight. The follow
ing is taken from the Pittsburg daily Times:
1t is worth the price of a trst-ciaSs admis-
sion to hear the wonderful band that accom-
panies the Alvin JOsliu party alone. They
had an immense audience Inst night. Charles
l.. Davis as Alvin Jos.in is one of the best
Characterization OF real Yankee farmer
that was ever put on the stage. The play
was very well put on, and the East river
scene was so realistic that it attracted a
hearty round OF applause There has been
something astonishing to the dramatic pro
fesSi0n about Davis success on
the stage. Some years ago he was
q poor man, and had to hustle
around after engagements in speciality per-
fOrmanCes. his chance came one day and
he made the most of it, What is known as
1.-The profession have always acknowledged
that Davis had geuius for certain charac-
ter parts, but they aid not know what was
in HIM. There came one fine day an oppor
tunity for Davis to show what he could do
aud he did it. He has continued to do it SO
well that he has stached up something IN the
neighborhoOd of $500, 000 and IS still stack
ing it up. AS an actor Davis could not be
improved on in the character of Alvin Joslin.
He appeals strongly to the sympathiss of his
auditors and now and then excites Il hurri-
cane OF laughter by his grips, cranks and
oddities.
