Rnldwin-Roeers Company.

Tomorrow evening the Baldwin-Roge company will open a weeks engagement at O'Brien's. The company will play at popular prices and a week of success IS assured them.
 The Salisbury. N. C., Herald says:
 Salisbury people are naturally theater- going people, and when they are catered to by a good show they evidence the as sertion. Last night nearly every seat in the house was taken to greet the Bald win-Rogers company in Jacks Sweet heart" and all were pleased. The play was free from the coarseness that usu- ally characterizes a show of its kind.
 While the drama was not one of very great depth of plot, it was smooth, even love story, which, after the usual amount of shadows, brings sunshine and happiness to the hero and heroine. The acting was very fair, the lines being read with more force and effect than usual.
 The specialties came in between the first and second and second and third acts, and were really first-class, being fully as good as were ever seen on our stage.
 As a comedian O'Connor ranks up with the best, and his wife, Miss Amy Paige, is a high-kicker and dancer of no mean ability Winna and Lotta Rogers fin their song and dance specialties were encored each time In fact, every member in the play did we'll, and individual praise ap- plies to all They will doubtless be greet ed by a good house tonight.
