SECOND NIGHT WAS GOOD.
Sharpley's Breaks the Record for
Second Night Bills.

When a show comes to town to
play a week engagement at 10, 20 and
80 cents they generally put on their
best play the first night and as a rule
it is the only thing in which they can
make a respectable appearance. This
does not hold good with the Sharpley
company. They did just as well last
night as they did Monday night,
which is saying good deal.
The play was "The Lost Paradise"
and it is a brilliant study Of the labor
question mingled with some good
healthy love descriptions. Polly with
her wonderful walk was a caution and
Billy did himself proud as a solo
artist. The audience was well pleas
ed and today everyone has a good
word for the company. Abilene peo-
pie who didn't 60 last night because
they were afraid Of being humbugged
missed very pleasant evening. Tbs
orchestra deserves special mention.
1t is very good and is one of the best
features Of the entertainment.
