"ALIMONY.'

The first appearance of the two ster-
ling comedians, Murphy and Garfield,
in "Alimony" will doubtless attract a
large audience to the Opera House
Thursday evening, especially as this
will be the only attraction at that
house during the week. The piece is
said to be above the average produc-
ton of its class, and the company is
one of uniform strength. Good music
al specialties are introduced.
NOBODY'S CLAIM.
Miss Sadie Hasson in "Nobody's
Claim" will be the attraction at the
Grand three nights, commencing next
Thursday The play is one of the best
of our American melodramas, and is
an excellent vehicle for displaying the
many and varied talents of the win
some little star. 1t is one of the real
istic school of dramas, but unlike
most of them. it does not depend for its
drawing powers on the realism intro
duced, but is a thoroughly consistent
play. full of human interest and of
more than usual literary merit. There
is an abundance of splendid scenery,
which of course enhances the interest
of the piece.
