Tuesday, Richard & Pringle's Ministries.
There was a larger audience at the
Grand last night than witnessed the
opening performance of the Darkest
Russia" engagement. This is an evil
dence of general appreciation of very
meritorious performance. The work
of the entire cast was exceptionally
good the company taking as much
pains, apparently, with the minor
roles as with the Leading characters.
The staging and costuming were really
excellent The continuous perform
ance idea appears to please patrons OF
the Grand. The illustrated songs and
war pictures were very satisfactorily
presented. The company again re-
ceived an enthusiastic curtain call at
the close of the th)d act. The play
will be repeated to-day at the matinee
and evening performances.
Manager Charles A. Feinler has
been very fortunate in booking as the
next attraction at the Grand Opera
House Lincoln J. Carriers spectacular
nautical melodrama, Remember the
Maine" 1t is said to be a consum-
mate achievement VI otdSC iCoiioIi,
and the expense has been a secondary
consideration. A moments thought
and the very name of the production
is sufficient to impress one with the
fact that the possibilities of pictur-
esque novelty are tremendous. Re-
member the Maine" comes to the Grand
for half weeks engagement, opening
Thursday night.
The advance sale of seats for the
production of John Philip Sousa's COM
ic opera, Gel CAPTAIN" indicates that
there will be an audience at the Opera
House tonight which will be in size
what the fame of the composer and
the merit of the production deserve.
The story of the opera is interesting
and is well told, but the success OF
the production has been the tuneful
creations of Sousa, especially several
marches which have made this tai
ented American famous. There still
remain few choice seats which have
not been reserved.
