STEUBENVILLE.

STEUBENvILLE, O., December 19.-Im-
agine, II you can, stage on which are
grouped about all the pretty girls in the
city, clothed in the finest costumes ever
brought TO Steubenville, and then you see
"Erminie'' as presented by the Girls Guild
Of ST. Paul's church, at the Opera House
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of this week. From the rise of
the curtain until the going down Of the
same were to be seen series of surprises.
"Erminien is one of the most difficult OF
comic operas, but as the parts were in the
hands Of people Of ability, IL was enjoyed
by all who were fortunate enoughto secure
seats. The choruses were in some places
little weak, out this was atoned for by the
magnificent work of the principals. Mrs.
Bessie Riley Anderson as ''Erminie" made
decided hit each n ght, having TO respond
TO two or three encores for each OF her
beautiful solos. Mrs. Anderson has
fine talent, not only as
singer, but as an actress and
a stranger would take her for one who
had had long experience on the stage.
Miss Marta Beazell's "Javotteen was
revelation to Steubenville people. She
was Just too sweet for anything. She
would be an ornament on any stage and in
any company OF the gentleman who were
in the cast, Messrs. Sharpe as marquis"
and Floto as Eugene" took the honors in
singing parts, while Messrs. Long and
Fllson, Us usual, held their own. These
gentlemen sre the most versatile amateur
comedians in this section Of Ohio, and
Steubenville is proud of them. This time
the ladies used our own orchestra, and 10
say that it was satisfactory is drawing II
almost TO mildly. Too much credit can
not be accorded Prof. Raynes for his
work Several Wheeling people were
present at each performance, and returned
home delighted with their trip and the en-
tertainment
