The opening of the twelfth regular
dramatic season at the Grand Opera
House next Monday evening, August II,
| is an event that commends itself to every
theatre.goer in the city; for it not only
signallzes the return of indoor amuse-
mente, but also serves to re introduce a
former fayorite comedian in the person
of NJ. B. Curtis, who will appear through
out the week in his famous role of Samuel
Piastrich, the Jewish drummer, a charac-
ter which he has made familiar to Min
neapolitans through his successful COM
edy drama. Samuel of Posen." There
has been lapse Of several years since
Mr.. Curtis appeared in this city, and
during the interim he has spent much
time in re-arranging the play. until it is
now SO completely revised as to bear
very little resemblance to the original.
Samuel of Posen" was put on at the
Standard Theatre, New York City, last
spring and ran for three months to ex-
cellent business, although at the time
there was scarcely single other theatre
in the metropolis that received any en-
couragement in the way of patronage;
the leading dailies commented upon the
sup to date" version of the play in very
complimentary terms, and also praised
Mr.. Curtis work with more enthusiasm

vious engagement in that critical dram
attic center. The only matinee during
Mr.. Curtis occupancy of the house, will
take place Saturday.

Uncle Toms Cabin as the bill, and the
house was crowded from pit to dome

the artists he has secured to Interpret
the parts have won their way into the
hearts of the Peoples Theatre patrons.

Wellesley won the applause of vast au-
dience and proved a satisfactory Casey.

Miss Ida Richmond became favorite OF
the evening as soon as she made her ap'
pearance on the stage. The balance O
the cast was Mr. Harrison as Phineas
Fletcher, Earl Doty as George Harris and
Simon Legree, and Sam Morris deserves
special mention for furnishing the audi

of the best novelties Of the play was th.
Pickaninny Band. These little fellow
played number of popular pieces ant

quartette sang some very pretty coloree
songs and together with the speciality
dancing made q decided hit. Owing t.
the phenomenal business that Uncle
Tom is doing, Manager Sterling has decid
