Tho Last Night OF Kate CastIeton's
ssPaD6r DOLL,

A fairly good-sized audience assem-.
bled at the opera house last evening
to see the second performance Of "a
Paper DOLL" by Kate Castleton and
her company. The acting and sing
ing were good, and the audience en-
joyed the fun to very obvious
extent.
KARL GARDENERS PLAY.
The "FatherIand." which will be
presented at the opera house in this
city next Tuesday night, receives the
following notice from the News and
Courier, of Charleston, s. c., in which
city Karl Gardeners company has
recently played The News and
Courier says:
"Fatherland," Sidney Ellis's new
comedy Of home life in Tyrol, was
presented to full house at the acad-
envy last night. The play is a very
striking one In every respect and was
fully appreciated by the audience,
whose frequent and at times thunder
GUS applause testified to thorough
enjoyment OF all the songs and situa-
tiOns.
While being comedy full OF very
amusing parts, it lacks that broad
humor which so often offends, while
it conpels a laugh, and while the
i'pore serious situations are pathetic
and to some extent tragic, there is
nothing to startle or shock. The vii
lain is not killed on the stage to the
horror of many nervous ladies, but is
packed of by the police tor some
r.iIne committed in America, bat is
thus gently disposed OF.
The chief character was. Of course.
