George G. staley will be seen at the
Opera House tomorrow evening in his
sensational drama, "a Royal Pass" OF
it tho Louisville Commercial says: That
locomotive race in "a Royal Pass" last
night was too much for the audience;
when one OF the whistling engines flew
safely by after the Dutchman had
thrown the log from the track, the
whole audience burst into wild shouts.
The Bijou patrons are always extremely
susceptible TO exciting situations, but
that locomotive race simply walks away
with their nerves.
