| Every city has its silly young boys
and girls-youhg in common sense, il
not in years-who hang around the
| entrances to the theatre stages or try
to attract the attention of the players
| from their seats in the audience.
Wheeling is not an exception. 1t is
not always the Johnnies who send
| notes to the stage. During recent
matinee performance, six young ladies
at least four of whom were school
! girls. sent notes to male membeN Of
! theatrical company, requesting a
! meeting after the performance. The
| meeting took place, and strangely
enough, when the actor made use of
some liberties of speech, the young
| ladies were shocked and left him alb
| ruptly It did not occur to them, per-
| haps, that their conduct justified his
| opinion of them. 1t is 10 be hoped the
incident taught the young ladies' les
son.
In these days OF sensational melO-
drama with all its startling climaxes,
heart rending explosions, ferOclouS
buzz-saws and marvellous effects, cal
culated to produce nervous prostra-
ton, it is pleasure to turn to farce
! comedy and enjoy pure, wholesome
fun, without having ones nerve CEN
tres Jared. All classes flock enthu-
siastically to farce comedy, with gen.
erous belief Of refreshing entertain
ment, and the enjoyment of light and
contagious fun In "McSorley's
Twins" which is Merritt and Davis
latest Offering, we are promised much
which is brilliant, magnetic and orig
inal. The chief centre of attraction is
around the characters of McSorley and
Clancy, two jolly Celts, whose blund-
ers are laughingly portrayed in witty
dialogue, ard unique comedy situa-
tions; and the complexities into which
all of the characters are led by these
two laundering Irishmen, contributes
to universal and companionable enjoy
ment. There is a whole bunch of good
Specialties offered during the action of
the comedy, and the well selected cast
engaged by the management of this
production, insures entertainment ga
lore. "McSorley's Twins" will be the
attraction at the Grand Opera House
the first half of this week.
Bronson Towards play, Young
Mrs. Winthrop" requires no recon-
mendation to those who have heard of
it. A few words of warm c1mmenda-
ton to those who have not will suffice
to convey the information that it is
not only great success but a worthy
one. The work is enc of which no.
M for OF IN
feel ashamed 1t is a story of every
day life but does not preach sermon;
only points a moral daintily and ac-
ceptable. 1t is thoroughly interesting
without being either eventful or essen
TALLY dramatic. From beginning to
end it does not require in a single SEN
tence the emphasis Of violent declama-
ton. The sentiment Of the play is
pure, wholesome and delicious, thor,
oughly charming and marvelously re-
fined. The play has a view of comedy
which is never coarse or farcical and
is as natural and enjoyable as any one
the most critical could wish.
