George w. Monroe, the funny man, in
the funny character of Aunt Bridget, ac-
companied by dozen or more good
singers end dancers, is the attraction at
fe-it ~ -4f-err House this week.
The first mig ght's performance was before
c well-fiiled house that laughed at every
thing in the three acts and enjoyed the
know very thoroughly.
Aunt Bridget is just the same
the same funny cracks" and
has the very comical fit of the blues. But
The show - ncne the worse for that, be-
cause Il would be difficult TO tell where
.dr. Monroe might make alterations with
out detracting from the laug liable features
o the entertainment.
There is excellent work done by the
other members of the company. Miss
May Duryea. as Nellie Ryder, who stam-
mers, Is very pleasing young woman
with sweet voice and we'll developed
power of mimicry. She sang a soprano
SOLO in the third act and received three
encorcs.
Miss Alice Hanson is n good dancer and
one OF the most pleasing features of the
show was W wnen she appeared in q series
OF break downs with crowd of picka-
nlnies, IL was genuine piece OF fun in
which the people on the stage enjoyed
themselves as much as the audiences.
"My Aunt Bridget" Will be played
throughou. the week, with the usual
nlatinees.
Lothrop's Opera House.
The new proprietor of Lothrop's Opera
House brought a little metropolitan en-
terprise with him When be Came from
New York, az least that is the opinion OF
the large audiences which greeted the
opening performances under the new
management yesterday afternoon and
evening.
Old patrons of this cosy little theater
would hardly know the place, for between
saturday night and yesterday noon
magical change was wrought.
Warm-colored portieres and drap-
cries cover the windows, new carpets
invite entrance, there is new scenery, the
boxes have been rented and their fronts
redccorsted, sud the building has been
thoroughly renovated throughout.
Up stairs ia a ladies' reception room
tnstofully furnished, and fitted with toilet
oppurtonanccs. Tho ushers have been
neatly uniformed in navy blue, and in
front OF the thcater entrance police Off
Ger is stationed to assist inquiring patrons
end prevent the admission Of intoxicated
or otherwise obnoxious persons. These
improvements make Lothrop's more of n
family resort than ever, and the large at
tendance OF ladies and children on the
opening day indicated prompt apprecia-
ton.
Proprietor Trowhridge received tele-
gram from Mr. Lpthrop yesterday invit-
IN bin go call upon him at any time for
nid, either in hiling program or by way
OF accommodation and CO. oneration.
The oentertainment this week is OF un-
usual merit Afler on excellent medley
overture "fhe Two Shamrocks " Ed. Web
hter and Joe conl0n, open tho vaudeville
bill. They are Irish character coined iens,
Vocaii7ts and dancers, and their imper-
tonation OF two Irish women created con
tluuous laughter and applause.
