Monday and Tuesday Nights.
The engagement Of the Andrews
Opera Company at the Academy Of
Music tomorrow and Tuesday nights,
is causing Juror in musical circles in
this city. The demand for seats has
been steadily increasing, and after the

noon large number of tickets was dis
posed OF. Seats can now be secured at
johnson IL Johnson's by those not hold
ing Communication books, but in order to
give his patrons the benefit Of the re-
duced price, Manager Hooper has de-
cided to keep the sale for these books
open during Monday and they can be
secured from either Mr. Hooper, Mr, Fl.
Colmsn or at Johnson & Johnson's.
The success and popularity OF the
Andrews Opera Company is due for the
most part to their perseverance in year
after year presenting an entertain
ment worthy OF the patronage of the
public. Among the artists for this
season is found nearly the same
talent that in former years have
pleased the many different audi
ences from ocean to ocean. By the man
agement's thus knowing the exact ability
OF each artist the parts are cast with a
carcfulness and precision that insures
success. Beautiful costumes and scenery,
carefully selected chorus and strict
attention TO detail, makes the Andrews'
Company one Of the most complete opera
companies in the United States to-day.
The company showed in Lynchburg
Friday night and the News Of yesterday
morning had the following to say of
their performance:
"a large and cultured audience gath
cred at the opera house last night at
the presentation of FRA Disvolo," by
the Andrews Opera Company, and ali,
at the conclusion Of the performance,
agreed in pronouncing it the best mu-
steal production OF the kind that has
been rendered in Lynchburg for years.
The music, in every respect, was
Of the highest order, and the fact that
the audience. at the end of the second
act compelled the company to respond
twice TO encores, tells of the great en-
joyment and appreciation with which
they received this truly fine produc lion.
There were among the audience many
OF Lynchburg's most talented musicians,
and each one Of them expressed himself
as being delighted with the perform
