house IN Wednesday night by Custer
juvenile amateurs, failed to fill the
easur of expectations in point of at
tendance, a fact chiefly due to the un-
favorable character Of the weather, and
the price Of admission. which was fixed
at a higher rate than the prevailing dull
ness of the times would fairly justify
The play is n of more than ordinary
merit, and taking into consideration the
fact that this was their initial perform
ance, was exception ally we'll rendered.
The small audience manifested their
appreciation of the performance by mp
plause, loud and frequent. The make
up Of the various characters was as ap.
propriate as it was ingenious, notably

nation was most complete, and the part
rendered with a degree Of perfection
rarely exceeded upon the legitimate
stage. A lack of space precludes an ex.

which in every instance were pleasing

troupe are contemplating a repetition OF
the play in the future under more favor

marked reduction will be made in the
price Of admission.
