Grand Opera House.-One of the most
important attractions of the present
Grand opera house season is the De
Wolf Hopper Opera company, which
recently elosedgits extraordinary run of,
$50 nights at the Broadway theater,
New York city, in Goodwin & Morse's:
sparkling and tuneful operatc burletta,
Wang" This opera will receive its
first presentation in this city at the
Grand opera house Monday evening,
and will be given by the same company
that appeared during its metropolitan
season, with the same scenery, costumes
and general effects. The argument of
the opera Is as follows:
Wang, the regent of Siam, is uncle
and guardian of Mataya, the crown
prince, not yet of age. who is far from
amenable to his uncle's rule. For six
years the regent has been compelled to
BY the interception of letter intended
for Mataya, the regent discovers that
treasure chest is in the custody of
the widow of the late French consul,
Frlmousse, to whom it has been con-
fided by the young princes father, to be
delivered to him upon his coronation.
The action of the burletta, in part,
hinges upon the efforts of the regent to
secure possession of this chest. As
last resort he secures the double prize
by marrying the widow and assuming
the care of her large family of daugh-
tiers, one of whom has captured the
heart of the young prince.
The appearance of Clara Morris at
the Grand opera house Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday is all event in theatri-
cal affairs. Miss Morris is unqueStiOna-s
bly, the greatest emotional actress of
America. Unlike many of the stage
favorites of the day. her success has
been won by inherent genius combined
with years of study and observation.
She has the faculty of entering into the
character portrayed so completely that
her realism seldom fails to command
the tribute of teals. 1t is this that so
endears her to women, and her audi
ences are always largely made up of
her own sex. Thursday night ''Article
47'' will be given; Friday night Cam
ille;;" Saturday matinee, for the first
time in Minneapolis, ,Sardou's "Odette;;"
Saturday night, ''Renee de Moray"
