The Galveston News of Oct. 3
has the following to say about Miss
Nellie McHenry in "A Night at the
Circus"
ga Night at the Circus was the
bill at the fremont opera house
last night, with Nellie McHenry as
the star of the occasion. The pur-
pose of "A Night at the Circus
seems to be to furnish the greatest
amount of good, wholesome fun in
the shortest possible time, and in
this it proved successful last night,
for the audience which gathered to
greet Miss McHenry and her COM
pany gave emphatic and tlatter-
ing evidence of its appreciation
of the bright things presented.
From the time the curtain went
up until it dropped on the last
scene the fun was Kept up and the
audience was kept in good humOr.
Miss McRenry is the same Jolly
Nellie who has won the hearts and
plaudits of Galveston playgOerS in
former years, and her SUPPORT is
excellent, not a stick in its make
up. The company is the same in
personnel that Miss McHenry
opened her season with in New
York, as she does not. like some
other stars, impose lot of miser-
able dummies and wall
flowers upon the people
when she goes on the road.
One feature Of the evening pro-
gram deserves more than casual
mention, and that is the musical
speciality of the De Witt sisters,
Josie and Nenie, the first perform
ing on the violin and the second on
the cornet. They were thrice re-
called by the enthusiastic audience,
and when on the last return they
rendered "DiXiG" there was grand
shout Of appreciation. Their per-
Torrance is very chaste and artis-
tic. The voices of the company
are very good, the dancing excel
lent and the ladies attractive"
r. G. GRAHAM'S SUCCESS.
Robert f. Graham and "After
the Ball." were the attractions at
Harris Academy last night. They
hlled the house to overlooking.
The plot turns upon the adven-
lures of Paul Gibbs, who finds
himself engaged to two girls at the
same time. His attempt to carry
on a dual life and to make himself
solid with both his finances and
both his prospective father-in-laws
leads him into many embarrassing
situations, and keeps the house in
a roar throughout.
Bob Graham took the part of
raul Gibbs and personated it in a
very charming manner. He met
with a most enthusiastic recep-
ton. His adaptation of "After the
Ball." sung while under the infiu-
ence OF glorious jag, quite carried
the house off its feet and occasioned
recall after recall.
Mr.. Graham has with him q

all its details. Miss Rose Beaudot.

decided success as Matilda Alexis.
"After the Ball." as now present
