From the Yoakum (Fex) Daily Herald.
The largest audience that ever as
sembled at the Green opera house was
present last night when the curtain was
rung up on the first act of "A Cele-
brated Case, the play selected by the
Sharpley Lyceum Theatre company to
introduce itself to the theatre goers of
Yoakum, and no doubt it was one of the
best pleased audiences that ever left a
theatre.
"A Celebrated Case is a very strong
play, dealing with military life in
France, and requires capable com
pany to handle it, but it is safe to say
the production given it by the Sharpley
company last evening was correct in
every detail. The costumes and stage
settings were as fine as ever seen in our
city.
The character of Adrienne, adopted
daughter of Count D Aubettere.
afforded Aida Lawrence most ex-
cellent opportunity to display her
versatility, and her emotional work
won the hearts of all lovers of high
class acting. Her movements are
graceful and there is no ranting or
over doing which is so much in
evidence in the work of most leading
ladies.
A. j. Sharpley as John Remand, the
brave soldier condemned to the gallevs
for life, accused of numbering his wife,
has most beautiful conception of that
difficult part and his work was highly
commended by those present.
Will j. Madden, as Dennis
0 Rourke, furnished the comedy, and
his splendid dialect and pleasing
specialties made him favorite at once.
The part of Count D Aubettere was
handled nicely by Paul Hudson, and
his singing won him hearty encore.
The entire cast deserves special
mention, but space forbids our doing
so; however it was fully demonstrated
that the company is composed entirely
of artists.
This company opens at the opera
house Monday night for the entire
week The largest and best repertoire
company on the road. Ladies free
Monday night. Best band and orchestra
in the South. Crowded houses every
night wherever they show.
