The Attraction That Drew the Cultured
and Stylish audience.
Lexington was at her best last Monday
evening. At that time the "New Grand"
opera house, built by Emison Chanslor
and Walter Waddell, and under the
management of genial Joe q. Logan, was
formally opened. The "four hundred'of
the city turned out in its best bib and
tucker. Never in the history OF this old
town did a finer looking audience
assemble to do houor to an occasion like
this. The audience was a representative
one Ia every particular. Tit older class
Of ~citizens whose gray hairs tell OF many
q winters season on terra flrna. was well
represented, and entered into the spirit of
the occasion with marked enthusiasm.
The youth and beauty Of the O " was
there, too. Society wore her full dress
and under the dazzling brilliancy of the
electric Illumination she gave a stately
Appearance to the beautifully decorated
and handsomely furnished opera house.
It was not q very easy task for Chauslor
aud Waddeii to listen TO all the congrntI-
lations and opinions, as they were freely
expressed, but they did this and more.
They saw the entire audience seated and
looked we'll after the comfort of the
guests there assembled. Joe c. Logan,
who knows how to manage n opera
house. was there 70. He wore q good
living, and had been called to manage
