Grand Opera.

SSsS 55$ y23s Grand Opera -
at the Grand Opera House on Mon
i1ay evening next the successful new
y war drama by Messrs. Augustus Pitou
/ and Edward NJ Alfriend. entitled, across
The Potomac" is to be given a superb
scenic production by a company OF play
Sers that includes fully one hundred
members. The story OF the play opens
at Nor. hampton, Mass at q period when
Virginia secedee from the Union, where
Captain Ralph Baker Is recruiting 8
company. The remaining scenes are To-
Gated in the South, the action covering
the entire period of the rebellion. Ralph
Baker is engaged to his cousin, Edith
Garland, Southern girl, who Is on
visit in the Berkshire hills when the war
breaks ont, and who, with her father and
mother, hurry home when the news OF
the Vrginia's secession reaches them.
In an attack on General Heath's lead
quarters, an outpost of Petersburg, Ralph
Baker is taken prisoner, and is confined
with others in an old mill, where he is
visited by E iith, in the disguise of a
Sister of Charity. From this place
Ralph and anumber Of other prisoners
escape by tunnvlling beneath the floor.
Prior to his escape, Ralph had been in
structed by female spy with an impor-
tant dispatch to be delivered to General
Grant, and, through treachery of the
husband of the spy, Ralph is recaptured
and narrowly escapes d-ath. There is
happy and satisfactory ending to this
play which is said to abound in pathetic
and humorous scenes and situations.
Company B, of the First Regiment,
Minnesota State Guards, will appear in
drill and battle scenes. The soldiers
will be under command of Captain A. NJ.
Diggles. The prices for the matinee on
Saturday will be Is and so cents.
