OF Dyer's opera house, next Wednesday,
promises to be a most suspicious one. Toe
entire interior has been remodelled, the
scenery, under the artistic han Of Joseph
harrington Of Boston, entirely r~e-touched,
and the exterior made extremely attrac-
tive by being re-painted and gilded, a blue
arc light placed Mt the entrance showing IL
off to good az advantage.
The cosy little theatre will be opened
Wednesday afternoon with a promenade
concert by a lady orchestra, this afternoon
being engaged by Mr.. Edwards for the
purpose OF affording the fair sex an OBJ
portunity to inspect the house free of
charge. The eutire auditorium Is to he
beautifully decorated with choice flowers
and plants by Florist Stevens Of this city,
the object being to make the place as at
t~ractive as possible. The play of Monte
Christie" in which Mr.. Edwards acts the
title role, is especially chosen for the
occasion, and IL will be staged with the
minptest care the company supporting
Mr.. Edwards being exceptionally strong,
many Of them old Providence favorites.
Among the most widely known are Mr..
Justin Page, a member of the Lothrop
stock company. Charles McElroy, Vernon
kamsdale, whom Providence theatre
goers will remember as the Captain in
Fritz .Emmet's company when at the
Providence Opera House this season, Miss
May Prindell, a leading society lady Of
Philadelphia, Miss Anna McVeigh, and
Leola Bell, all excellent in their line. IL
Is the object OF the management to pre-
