Keith's Opera House.

Opera House this week, and it is just as
good and amusing as ever, as 1t is one
of those farce comedies that depend
upon their many changes i'm dialogue,
song and speciality for their success
and the reception that the familiar play
received last evening shows that the peo-
pie of Providence are always ready to
laugh at bright jokes. listen to good
songs and witness fine speciality work
when it is presented in an amusing man
ner.
John Kernell is not present this year,
but an able substitute for the character
OF "The Hustler" has been found
in Edward j. Heffernan. Harry
Crandall makes capital Anhae-
user Busch, while Gus Mill delights
the audience with his perfect presentation
of Anna Dante, the proprietress of
Cambridge Flats, his singing of new and
c'ever popular songs being one of the
features of the program.
The other performers are clever special
lists and they do good work during the
action of the play. Bijon Mignon's dane
ing and high kicking, James Bradley's
solos,. including song by A.
c. Josselyn of this city, aDon't
Leave the Old Man There" and Smith
and Cooks side-splitting speciality, ''The
Two Millionaires," are well appreciated.
Mr.. Mack's imitation of Mansfield as
CDR. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE is good and
the vocal selections of the "Hustler''
quartet and Misses CORTLAND, Randall
Mayo and Mignon make the piece more
enjoyable.
1.-THE Hustler" will be presented during
the week with the usual matinees.

The THEATERS.
Farce, MeIodrama and Bur-
lesque on the Bills.



Everybody expected that Charley's
one in the audience filling the Providence
Opera House last evening was disap-
pointed.
There We're several things about the
farce contributing TO make 1t
one sas OF 1t. the most praiseworthy per
the piece itself is wonderfully
amusing in situations, clever in
dialogue aud skillful in develop
ment. This Is basis fit to build on,
and the unusually capable company en-
pioyed in Its cast, played it as though it
was the real and not the mimicked article.
The chief charm of last evenings perfCr-
nance was the spontaneity and genuine
ness OF the playing. Now and
then the theater was thought
of, but for the most part the acting
was SO earnest and hearty that the spec
tstors lost sig ht of the playing and entered
into the spirit of the farce heartily.
Another thing that made "Charley's
Aunt" superior to plays OF its class was
its atmosphere. There was considerable
horse play to be sure, but the players were
men and women OF good manners moving
in a walk OF life that had no barroom sug-
gestion or muck heap flavor. 1t was high
toned even il excruciatingly re-
diculous. Still further "Charley's
ensemble of comedians evidently
selected for special fitness for the parts
portrayed. There was not an i'm compe-
tent player in the cast, which as
improved. Three or four in the
cast were English, with the accent
OF persons not strangers to speak
ing the language properly off the
stage as we'll as on. And the scene of the
play permitted the use of garments fit for
na apa ass of good & bs to rssk walk
understood that such a combination
with a good play could not give anything
but first-class performance such as
"Charley's Aunt" was. Another thing the
farce was put upon the stage with all the
possibilities of the excellent mechanical
force of the opera house.
Arthur Larkin who masqueraded as
Charley's Aunt was capital. He could
easily have made the part in
tolerable, but his skill and good judg-
ment kept the character almost with
in the bounds OF possibility and the ease of
his performance only accentuated its
harmless fun. Raymond Capp played
Jack Chesney as though he enjoyed it, as
though he actually was the Oxford
graduate that with his chum, Char
ley Wykeham, got into q scrape by
inducing young Babberly to temporarily
impersonate young Wykeham's aunt.
Miss Grace Thorne Coulter as Donna
Lucia, the real aunt; Miss Elaine
Ellison as Kitty, and Miss Marie Green
wald as Amy and Mile James as Ella
all looked and acted charmingly.
Robert Cotton as Old Spettigue,
Harry Davenport as Sir Francis,
George Trader as Charley Wykenham and
jacques Martin as Brasset made up the
balance of the fine cast. "Charley's
Aunt" will remain in the city a week, and

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1894-11-07
THE RESULT.

The APPEAL ngratuiateS the
Silver men of Ormsby on their
work of yesterday. Fighting
against the greatest odds in the
State and in a county conceded to
the Republicans, they downed the
leading candidates of the oppo-
sition by electing their Sheriff
and Assessor, with a strong pro-
liability that the entire county
ticket has also CARRIED. Tho
fight was won against the liberal
use of money, campaign canards,
lying and trickery of every de-
scrIption.
The voters of the county rea-
LIKED the fact that the Silver party
had kept its pledges and they de-
termined to reward it by vote of
confidence.
The endorsement Of the Silver
regime by the taxpayers is very
gratifying to the members of the
party. The fight on the part of
the APPEAL has been won by sim
pie presentation of facts, without
detraction or abuse, and the Silver
men were not obliged to resort to
dirty campaign work to carry
their ticket.
The defeat Of Kersey has broken
the back of railroad domination
in Ormsby and ring rule and
bossism fitingly rebuked.
News from the State at large
shows a sweeping victory for sill
yer. Not a man is lost on the
State ticket.
