GRAND orERA HoUsE;-Te-night,
OPERA HoUSE-To-night. 1.-THE Tur-
tle;s Friday night The Dagger and , the
Uncle Toms Cabin"
1.-The Prodigal Father" an original
and decidedly novel connection of far
cical conglomerations, for which the
master mind of purely uproarious
comedy Glen McDonough is responible
will be given an extremely important
hearing at the Grand the first half of
next week, on which occasion addition
al interest will be given the presenta-
ton on account of the exceptionally
noted array of talent engaged. When
taken into earnest consideration that
such able artists as Lynn Weicher,
John F. Clark, Ed. s. jolly, Fanny
Temple, Barrow Sisters, Logan Will
liams, J.. C. Dixon and others of equal
prominence are in the big cast, some
idea may be inferred concerning the
Worthiness of the attraction.
Miss Frances Block, the fascinating
maid, who lends such an air of cheer
fulness to numerous e in The
Turtle" which will be seen at the
Opera House tonight, is particularly
fond of a little niece of hers who visits
her often in New York. During re-
hearsals for 1.-THE Turtle" Miss Block
took her little niece to Central Park
on Saturday afternoon, and while
standing on the shore of the lake asked
the little lady if she would like to ride
in one of the swan boats.
mo indeed" said the little girl, with
sudden shrinking. 81 couldn't bear to
see them throw the babies in! The
mar says that's what he does!" she as
serted, with rising excitement, as her
aunt looked much perplexed. Hear
him, He is saying it nowi"
Miss Block listened, and of a truth
the mans statement, view from Mar
%jorie's standpoint, was far from reas-
surfing.
"Take a ride in the boat! Hurry up"
he called loudly from the landing.
Grown folks, ten cents; children, half
price!" and then with a deceptive
smile, Babies thrown in"
The patrons of the Opera House
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity Friday evening to enjoy an ex-
cellent performance, for Joseph Hat
toms romance, "The Dagger and the
Cross" a dramatic version of which
Robert B. Mantell will present, has
been pronounced by literary critics the
superior of any of Anthony Hopes
works, which are largely impossible.
Manager M. w. Hanley daily receives
letters complimenting him upon the
triumph of his star in a drama, which,
while intensely romantic, is none the
less true to life.
Manager Feinler has a novel attrac-
ton at the Grand tonight and one that
will be received with thorough appre-
citation in John w. Isham's Octoroons
company (fattered by numerous imita-
tions). This organization comprises
the best colored talent in existence.
They will open with a programme OF
such excellence, as to invite every man,
woman and child to witness and listen.
AS a matinee entertainment, it cannot
be excelled, for every feature is such
that any child may witness without dis
approval of a careful parent, and in its
opening there is so much amusement
and novelty as to claim the interest at
once, while the olio is the strongest
ever seen in this city, headed by Miss
Belle Davis, who, as an exponent OF
coon songs cannot be equalled. Miss
Davis was the feature at Hammer
STEMS Victoria Theater, New York
City. for sixteen weeks early in the
season. There are plenty of comedians,
dancers and singers.
