 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 "Ole Olson," comedy novelty in which Swedish dialect character is introduced, was the attraction that filled this theater last night. Ben Hendricks portrayed the character of Ole Olson, and did so in such a manner that he was the admiration of the audience. He has the Swedish dialect to perfection, and his makeup was good. Alice Evans, a very beautiful young lady, appeared as Genie Dimple, and was we'll re- ceived. Her dance in tho last act was greeted with such applause that she was obliged to repeat it several times. Charles J. Stine as Dr. Shingle was good, and T. E. Baker and c. F. Lorraine in their respective parts, of Paul Jourdan and Jefferson Bossett acted we'll, and Mr. Lorraine rendered several songs in de- lghtful manner. Anna Burton as Mrs. Jerdan acted her part in satisfactory manner. St. George Hussey as Mrs. O'Flan- agan contributed a great deal of fun and was heartily applauded. In the last act the Swedish lady quartette is introduced, and they sing some very pretty songs with out accompaniment. The names of the ladies are Marie Sohlberg, Hedwig Lid storm, Emma Barlstant and Alma Hutling.
 A novelty was introduced in the m asic program by Professor Teets. It was a de- scriptive fantasia, ""The Dance of the Cob Ens," and it was we'll received.
