ing, possesses great dramatic talent, and
it is prophesed that she viii make for
herself a reputation equal to that of other
members of the Coghlan family, in which
dramatic talent of the most superlative
merit seems to be inherent. She is a BEAU
tiful girl, eighteen years of age. and in
her career has CROSSED the ocean to Eng
land and back twenty-seven times. She
made her debut in her fathers new play
in Washington, at the Columbia theatre.
November I'D. She appeared as Juliet to
her fathers Romeo, in a fragment of the
balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet"
which is presented in the fourth act as

lines was beautiful indeed.
Next Wednesday evening at the Opera
heralded success, "A Contented Woman"
the most pretentious work of Americas
popular playwright Charles Hoyt, will
be presented, identically the same as given
in New York. "A Contented Woman"
like all of Mr.. Hoyt's comedies, is sat
ire and was constructed for laughing pur-
osOx-a h IL
evenings entertainment. 1t is said that
Mr.. Hoyt has been lavish in the expendi-
ture of money to make this a production
that will appeal TO the eye as we'll as to
the ear. Every accessory that can pos
sibly add to the success of "a Contented
Woman has been carefully looked after,
and the extravagant stage settings. with
the gorgeous costumes and bevy of pretty
girls, cannot fail to make a wonderfully
pleasant picture under the dazzling bright
ness of the calcium. The cast will be made
up of twenty-five clever comedians.
Those who have not seen the projecto-
scope should not miss the opportunity to
see this wonderful invention at the Grand
Opera House. Those who have seen it will

upon the canvas. The audience last night
made up in evidences of appreciation what
it lacked in numbers. The pictures of the
lightning express, the fire scene, and the
parade views are simply marvellous. The
Illustrated songs of Mr.. Barton are
pleasing feature. Prof. Vera, a. Wheeling
lite, who has been before the public for
twelve years, gave a remarkable exhibit
ton of magic and sleight- hand. The
engagement of the Projectoscope Company
will continue for the remainder of the
week.
Chas H. YaIes Devils Auction" at
tracted a. good sized audience to the Opera
House last night. This spectacle has been
presented in Wheeling many times, but
still appears to retain its drawing powers.
Many of the old features remain, but each
year new ones are added. The trick bicy
Gle riding and the tough girl speciality
were the best features of the production
last night. The costumes and scenery are
handsome and Manager Yale has been
particularly fortunate in securing pretty
and shape.y girls for his company.
