House. Bohemian Girl was present.
ed in an excellent manner. 1t was
suberbly mounted, and the singing
and dramatic action by the cast, was
quite beyond criticism. A feature
which has not been commented upon
heretofore, because of lack of space,
is the living pictures which follow
each opera. They are four in number
the first showing a battle scene, the
second a Sister of Charity ministering
to a dying soldier, then reproduction
of a New England home in the time
of Miles Standish, and the last fac
smile of the famous painting 1.-THE
Nymphs." Great care has been eX-
pended in the groupings and in the
effects known to stagecraft, the result
appealing with peculiar force to the
artistic sense. There is an entire lack
of coarseness or suggestiveness. This
afternoon the company will sing

hills of Tennessee, among their WhlS-
pering pines and beautiful landscapes.

painter OF pathos, this being proven by
the fact that his Human Hearts" is
now in it's fifth year of success.

lar young lady of the East End. The

stage in full view of the audience, by
a prominent Wheeling clergyman.
Eddie Girard, in his production of
that successful farce comedy, Natural
Gas" has gone to a great deal OF eX-
pense in securing what is said to be
an all-star cast. Among the ladies es-
pecially engaged is Amy Ames. Amer

part Of Kittie Malone and will also in
