The entertainment given at the
opera house last Thursday evening
by the Jas. T. McAlpin company
producing the Swedish play, Hans
Hanson was far ahead of anything
, vet witnessed at the opera house
, so far as artistic work is considered
Every one of the players were al
home on the stage and the strange
, ness or unfamiliarity generally de

panies, was entirely lacking. II
fact, every player was a player from
the artistic standpoint The play
t is an old one rehashed to suit the
, Swedish dialect of Hans Hanson

humor into the little comedy makes
the old new and decidedly catchy
| and attractive.
