actor, +. S. Willard made his most lorci
ful drama, THE Middleman," was very
pleasingly produced at the Opera House
last evening by the Frank L, Long com.
pany to an audience that completely
hlled that auditorium. In the audience
last evening were great many who had
attended the same play last year and
they all say it has lost none OF it's force
and was, if anything, better produced
last evening than a year ago.
The different characters were all well
taken and Long himself took the part O.;
Cyrus Blenkharn to perfection. The
pathetic story OF the play and tie won
deriul force put into the principal char
acter by Long produced profound SEN
sation on the audience, many OF whom
were moved TO tears.
Tomorrow evening a comedy which is
said to be fully as good as "A Gay Bow.
