From the first night there was good

factory, the second story of which has
been fitted I'M to accommodate comforta-
bly, about 500 people.
Last night Clarence ..Strouse preached

say that every one who heard him was
pleased aud spiritually benefited a
more attentive crowd WAS never seen and
it was very evident hat his able dis

EVERYBODY DELIGHTED.

The operate extravaganza, "1492.,
gave perhaps the best performance of u
spectacular character ever seen in Roa-
noke pleasure house. From beginning TO
end it was II blaze of light and color set in
gorgeous scenery, such rs no mere word
painting can do justice to. This musical
burlesque is full of bright and catchy
music, mnsng scenes and Incidents, and
IN array of Young and pretty women clad
in fetching costumes. In m organiZa-
ton Of more than seventy people, with so
many special features, it were well-n:gh
impossible to particuariZe, but without
doubt the most remarkable feature of the
evening was the wonderful soprano voice
OF Stuart in his cast of isabella. The
pseudonym of "the Male Patti" Is an apt
one, for with all the accessories CT female
attire and II voice vieng in compass and
briliiancy of toue with the choicest So
pranos, it was hard to realize that he was
not what he personated, brilliant wo-
man vocalist. Miss Aema Rnwlston.
as the Infanta, proved herself burlesoue
actress and vocalist of the finest order.
Her lightning changes of costume, all
done in forty five seconds of time was n
marvel TO the uninitiated. Not the least
pleasing portion of a brilliant programme
were the numbers rendered by the Hernid
'Ste'tiO SboitchtC. lHc iltiS'C WIS melO-
dious and taking. the second bass, Mr.. C.
ID. Cunningham, having far and away the
deepest and richest voice heard n Roanoke
for many day. Mr. Frank Gardiner in
his double caste of "Royal Treasurer
and "a fringe on the edge OF the crust of
society,"" alias 1.-The tramp" Was the mer-
riest, wittest creation imaginable, his
quips and puns ahG local hits keeping the
audience in IL constant roar of laughter
There were many really pretty girls on
the stage last night, but we are sure that
one and all must award the palm for
beauty to pretty little Lucille Loring, the
queens herald; OH or off the stage. make
up or no make up, we are sure she Is n
rarely beautiful girl. Much interest and
speculation was manifest in those famous
kilanyi living pictures, and when they
were placed upon he stage proved beau
tifui AZ Il dream. Taken all in All. ir is
doubtful II the season will see again a
production OF such briliancy and scenic
appointments as characterized the '1492''
OF last night, and Manager Beckner is to
be congratui Lted on securing such an au-
dience rs he had to witness it.

LEVER GOES TO PlTTsBuRG.
Professor Sammy Sold to the Smoky City
Folks

Richmond, Sept. 16-Sam Lever, the
clever twirler for the Richmond baseball
club, has pitched his last game in this
city. He was sold yesterday to the Pitts
burg club and goes to join Tannehill, the

The Richmond cranks will lie sorry to

from his ability as Il ball tosser. he is u
