Considering the incemeucy of the
weather good audience witnessed the
popular actress, Miss Lillian Lewis, al
| the opers-h house last night in her now
| famous piece, "CredIt Lorralne.' The
plot has been given in a previous Issue.
| 1t suffices TO say that Miss Lewis played
! last night with her usual grace and gave
as fine q performance as though the
house was filled. People who have wit
messed "Credit Lorraine' two or three
times say they like It better every time
they see 1t. The management have de-
cided to give the ladies one more chance
of seeing 'Credlt Lorraine'' and hoping

/ time this season in Fort Worth.

| Creole in L'Article Al, and as this is the
character in which she made her reputa-
tion in New York City, an artistic treat
may be looked for. All who have seen
Miss Lewis in Credit Lorraine know that
this celebrated artistic has surrounded
herself with as fine com pany as can DO
found on the road, and L'Articls A as
performed this season is equal to any,
thing seen anywhere.
Miss Lewis wears some of the mos
beautiful gowns in her wardrobe in
l. Article Al, and those who have seen
her gorgeous dresses in Credit Lorraine
! know how much that statement means.
George Wilson Is, without doubt, the
finest blaok-face comedian on earth.
Always original. and never firing in his
efforts to give the public something new,
bright and fresh, he has placed himself
at the very pinnacle OF all minstrel stars.
Wilson, surrounded by fine company of
comedians, singers, speciality artists and
dancers, will appear at Greenwall's
opera house on Wednesday evening, No.
vember II. and one of the very best min
strel entertainments ever given in FonA
Worth may be looked for.
Sale of reserved seats Will begin at box
Office of the opera house on Wednesday :,
Novembe 10.
The Galveston News says Of this at
traction.
There are great many sore sides in
Galveston this morning, for the owners
of a great many were at the opening
performance of George Wilson's superb
minstrel show last night. Long before
s O'Clock there was not vacant seat in
the house, the boxes were filed and
standing room was at premium. 1t
was by far the largest audience that has
assembled in this popular resort this
season. and the performance was merit
orious enough to justify it.
George Wilson has been here so often
and is sc popular that be is regarded al
most in the light of an old Galvestonian.
As usual, he was the center of attrac-
ton last night, and having ventured on
the stnge once he found the GREATEST
difficulty in getting off of it. He was
repeatedly encored.
The various features were very fine,
and each member of the troup is an
artist In his line. OF late minstrel shows
that have visited Galveston have been
remarkable for their poor singing and
often for their poor jokes and dancing.
George Wilson'S show is marked ex-
ception to this. His singers have good
voices, the tenor, baritone and base
beng remarkably sweet. The jokes are
not all new, of course. but there are
enough fresh ones thrown in to float the
whole, and the funny features of the
performance are sufficient in number to
keep the audience constantly in good
humor. Wilson . MINISTRIES IL by far the
best seen in Galveston this season. There
will be matinee this afternoon and an
other perforii ance to1 hight.
