expectations. Like wise man, he was
seeking some well-earned rest after length
OF sssiduous devotion to business. The In
rELLraENcER presents below a review OF
the theatrical events Of the year with size Of
house, quality of performance. etc, which
abundantly justifes Mr. Yeckers good
humor The season differed much from
that of last year Then the skating rink was
netting In III work TO the intense disgust OF
the theatre proprietor, and empty benches
greeted the best of attractions But, obedient
10 the law of the survival OF the fittest, rinks
have gone giimmering, and theatres have
gained larger audiences from the reaction
that set in against the craze.
twill be noticed that fewer "stars' are in |
the list of the dramatic events referred to. |
Frederick warde, Rbea and Fanny Daven- |
port are in the summary, because they are |
Lancaster favorites. The absence of other big |
guns of the stage is easily explained by the
fact that we are in the transition stage
OF cheap theatrical prices When things |
thoroughly readjust themselves we may
expect to return to the conditions of yore,
when the great actors and actresses of the
county will find it to their advantage to put
in night or two in our cultured inland city,
The business Office of the opera house is to
be entirely remodelled this summer. The
plant of the Footli1M will he removed, a
space partitioned of for the bill posters,
larger accommodations given to those who
come for reserved seats, and the present
rather awkward window converted into one
Of plate glass more in accordance with the
general plan of the front OF the building. Mr..
Bert Rinehart will continue to act as Mr..
Yecker's right-hand man in the conduct OF
the opera house, aud the public will be glad
tn know that the inval liable services of this
genial gentleman are to be retained. Here
with Is presented a review OF the seasons
