The Labadie- e-Rowell Company gave their
play for the season is94-5 'Miraldi." at the
opera house Tuesday evening to crowded
house, and it is the sentiment of the people
that the play is the best in which this COM
pany has been seen here, and that is saying
a good deal. Mr.. Labadle as Seth Swap,
the Yankee returning from the silver mines,
shows that he is an all round actor and kept
the house in continuous roar of laughter.
Hattie Rowel as Miraldi made an excellent
Cuban and she seemed well fitted to act the
various trying situations In which the play
put her.
Owosso people have been entertained dur
ing the week as they have not been before
in long time. Prof. Frederick Sellicks
organ recital on Wednesday evening at the
Congregational church was attended by an
exceedingly appreciative audience that filed
the auditorium of the church to its fullest
capacity. The playing of Mr.. Sellick was
as fine as has ever been heard in the city
and his program was most excellently Sc
lected and arranged. The funeral dirge,
the overture to the opera Pirates to Pen
zance," the 'Flower song" and others were
heartily appluded. The singing by Mr..
Gamble was without question. the finest in
his line ever heard here "When Mother
First Taught me to Pray" written and COM
posed for Mr.. Gamble, fairly captured the
audience and the applause was deafening.
10 an encore he sang 1.-The Three Suitors,"
very pleasing piece. The entertainment
as whole was one of the best Owosso has
ever had and it is hoped that these gentle
men will favor Owosso again.
