having a social time generally. Such

THE NEW OPERA HoUsE.-Alexan-
dria will soon have new opera house,
and those who attend the performance
of Richard III" by the eminent ira
gedian, Mr.. Thomas w. Keene, next
Saturday night, will not recognize the
interior of the house. The new man
agement promised new house and
first. class plays which will save the
people of this city the expense and
trouble of going to Washington to seek
amusement. The engagement of such
an actor as Mr.. Keene is Of course the
merest accident, but nevertheless
Richard III will be staged as hand
somely here Saturday night as it is in
the largest cities.
Mr.. Frank O. Callahan, the we'll
known New York scenic artist, is now
at work on the interior of the Opera
House, and to judge from the work he
has done SO far the people of this city
will have theatre the equal ofany ofits
size in the country. The walls and
ceiling are being frescoed in light buff
and bronze, which will give far more
airy and cheerful appearance to the
place. Messrs. Monroe and Tomlin
will paint the woodwork, and the new
scenery and drop curtain by Mr.. Gala
han will be most artistic. The ADVANCE
sale for Mr.. Keene's engagement Will
begin tomorrow, and large audience
is expected, as he has hundreds of ad-
mirers in Washington who will doubt
less avail themselves of this opportunity
to see him.
