'McNulty's Visit" pleased another
large audience at the Grand Opera
House last night. The many side-split-
ting situations were greeted with roars
of laughter, and the musical and dane
ing specialties were applauded to the
echo. "McNulty's Visit" would be fun
ny if presented with a mediocre cast,
but it is exceptionally amusing with
such clever people as Teny Ferguson
and George H. limerick. 1t will be re-
petaed this afternoon, and to-night's
performance will close the engagement.
Willie Collier is said to have made
the hit of his life as Benjamin Fitzhugh
in THE Man From Mexico" He will be
well remembered by local playgoers for
his exceptionally clever creation in The
City Directory" "One of the Boys"
Little Christopher and numerous 9TH
er plays. Mr.. Golfers early schooling
in Augustin Days company has served
him in good stead in his latest success.
He will appear at the Opera House next
Thursday, November IS.
There will be fun galore at the Grand
the last half of the week, upon which
occasion Mahara S colored Ministries will
appear. The show is a large one this
season, and the managers advise us that
it is a great diversion from the ordinary
MINISTRIES. The first part is said to be
the finest ever conceived. II has always
been the endeavor of Mahara's Brothers
to have nothing but the best and plenty
of it. We are assured the singing and
dancing features, as well as comedians,
cannot be excelled. There will be SEN
sational street parade at noon by the ia
nous Darktown band, considered one Of
the finest bands travelling.
