.rhe Two Sisters"

This beautiful play will be produced al
the Opera House this evening for the first
time in Wheeling by the original company
aud no tbeater goer should fail to sfe il.
The Cleveland Herald Of February Is, in
an extended notice says of ID:
tine Two Sisters,"s production writ
ten and staged by the authors Of "The o. d
Homestead" Denman Thompson and
George w. Ryer, was presented at the
Opera House last night before large au-
dience which gave effnsive evidence OF
hearty enjoyment Of the piece. Though
not strong in plot, the story it devol-
ops is interesting. Two sisters, girls Of
the poorer class, go 10 the metropolis to cal u
their living. They undergo many hard
ships and find tbs task difficult. 10 the
test which comes they choose two opposite
paths, one leading 10 happiness and the
other to degradation. This story, which
seems trsgical or distasteful to relate, is SO
simply ard naturally told on the stage as
to rob it of any faint of immortality. In
fact, it may be safely said that no more
healthful stage picture was ever seen. Its
represen tstion Of sctusl life, the large num-
Der Of character types it shows, and the
great preponderance OF humorous incidents
make the comedy element cversbodow all
others" Reserved seats can be secured al
