Bill's Boot Successful OperatIc Bur-
lesque-The Old Homestead
Notes and Personals
from Dunlap's.

The next attraction at the Grand
Opera house, December 29th and Both,
will be the Harry Williams Comedy
company, starring Jos. j. Sullivan,
Larry Smith and the Russell Bros. in
Sullivan & Smiths three-act operatic
burlesque, Bill's Boot;
The lost Bill's boot is supposed to be
the hidden receptacle of the fortune left
by Mr.. VIM. Weeds, and in hunting it
up is where all sorts OF comicai adven.
lures come. There is great fun in
the piece, and it calls for Is acting
people.
The bright features of the comedy are
combined with dashing action and seem
cry that, In the second act and por-
tion of the first, would be creditable to
the Hanlone, and the whole ia enlivened
by what the programme speaks Of as
"opera buff The fun is continuous.
without any Of the vulgarity of the
slightest kind the costumes are pretty /,
and the scenery, including the Hudson
Palisades and castle of the Rhine, is
excellent. Some OF the transforma-
tions at the momentary dark changes"
are surprising in their completeness.

Denman Thompson's play returns to
the Grand Opera house January I'd for
five nights. The presentation OF this
famous piece will be at the hands OF the
sameScompany of artists Mr.. Thompson
sent here last season, and whose work
left 80 favorable an impression behind.
As the company have been together for
q period of two seasons, it is safe to as.
sumo their former success will be dupli-
Gated. OF the play little can be said out
what is already known to every person
old enough to read or attend place of
amusement, yet in spite Of its length OF
service, new interest always seems to be
awakened, and the auditor finds some
thing that was missed when seen before.
A wealth of human nature is contained
in this piece, and pretty, quiet treat
ment of phases OF real and every day
life, devoid Of sensationalism its claims
resting upon purity of its general tone,
the quality of it's dialogue and the unaf-
fected naturalness of its interests and
characters, besides following out we'll
worn theory that "it often takes very
small and simple key to unlock the door
OF memory"
