satrical success, comes to the Belfast Opera
House Sept. %, with Richards and Garfield
as stars Mr.. Hoyt has a way of treating
familiar subjects giving real characters of
life, and develops his plots wond erfully. 1t
is this that has caused "a Temperance
Town" to be the success it is. From the ar
rival OF "Uncle Joe," the oldest man in
town, as be wheels "Bngo" into the parson-
age yard in the first act, to the final scene
in the courtroom where Fred Oakhurst, the
rum-seller, prosecuted by the Temperance
crowd is sentenced to go years imprison-
ment, the lines fairly sparkle with wit,
mingling with the many quaint sayings of
the country characters. The members of
the company in support of Richards and
Garfield are particularly adapted to their
parts and include many of the origina cast.
Reserved seats at the City Drug Store.
