Though Mr.. Hennessy Leroyle has
been starring for number of years
and has built up a steadfast and
strong following in many parts of the
country, it is only within the last two
years that the people have begun to
be familiar with his name. By the
force OF his art alone he has con-
quered the critics and pleased the
public to such an extent that to-day in
territory bounded by the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans he can truthfully be
ranked as one of the standard amuse-
ment attractions. NH. Leroyle is am
bilious to excel in the profession he
has chosen, and his great ambition
has led him to create the role Of
Hutchinson Hopper" a character that
will live for years. Mr.. Leroyle, sup
ported by a carefully selected COM
pany of artists, will play a return en-
gagement at the Opera House Friday
evening.
A larger sized audience than on the
opening night, but still miserably
small when the merit of the attrac-
ton is considered, saw Mr.. Creston
Clarke and his excellent company at
the Opera House last night in Lady
of Lyons" 1t was a splendid produc-
ton in every respect, and Mr.. Clarke
proved himself one of the most pleas
ing artists who have appeared before
Wheeling audience in recent years.
1t is to be hoped that the splendid
impression made by Mr.. Clarke and
his company will be a sufficient adver-
tisement to insure better patronage
when he returns to Wheeling.
