Another large audience saw Gus
Hills Novelties at the Grand last
night. This excellent aggregation on
vaudeville talent is appropriately
named, as it embraces a number OF
acts which are new and up to date,
and some of which have never before
been seen in Wheeling. Some of the
best known actors and actresses on the
vaudeville boards are included in
the company, and the entertainment
is refined and pleasing, and we'll wor-
thy the patronage of lovers of this
class of theatrical productions. The
engagement was for half a week only,
and will close with the matinee and
evening performances to-day.

to know that Ferguson & limerick,

fun loving public, are headed this way
and will appear at the Grand Opera
House the first half of next week with
a Wednesday matinee, in their new
success, ''McNulty's Visit" an Irish
comedy by the same man who wrote
"McSorley's Twins" ''Finnegan's
Ball." "Finnegan's Courtship." and a
number of other popular and pleasing
comedies. These two young gentle
men have never aspired to climb the
ladder with the broken wrung, there
fore they have been successful, and as
creators of Irishmen whom it would
not be hard to find in this big work-a-
day world of ours, they have been more
than successful in their portraitures.
This new comedy was written to or
der, and the builder has certainly done
himself credit.
