GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Charles Nor
timer. Company, at popular prices; matt
OPERA HOtSE-Monday, "a Stranger
in New York Wednesday matinee and
night, Jack and the BeanSt talk.
The Charles Mortimer company pre-
sented two dramas TO fair sized audi
ences at the Grand Opera House yes
terday-"Guilty Without Crime" in the
afternoon, and "My Old Kentucky
Home" at night. New specialties were
introduced between acts, and were lib
orally applauded by those who appre
ciate that class of performances. Last
nights production was the best which
the company has given during its en-
gagement. To-day's matinee bill will
be the great temperance drama, "Ten
Nights in Bar ROOM and tonight
the spectacular play, Lost in Egypt"
The mere announcement that next
Monday evening at the Opera House
Hoyt's funniest and most amusing en-
tertainment, "a Stranger in New
York." will be presented, will be
enough to call out an audience that
will thoroughly test the seating capac-
ity of our popular playhouse. Play
wright Hoyt has written and produced
a score or more of comedy successes,
but from all reports the one that has
made him the most dollars and placed
him more prominently before the pub
lie as a successful author, is "a Stran
ger in New York Since this clever
comedy was originally presented it
has undergone many changes and
many improvements have been made,
and it is claimed by Mr.. Hoyt's most
particular friends that in "A Stranger
in New York." as now constructed,
this popular playwright has never
shown a more thorough knowledge of
what makes the success of such a piece
than in this production. Its novel
features, ridiculously funny scenes and
than ever. Miss Lena Melville. for
merly of Wheeling, is with the COM
pany.
Daniel Sully, who appears at the
Grand Opera House the first half of
next week in his realistic reflex of
Irish life in America, entitled "O'Brien
the Contractor" has won the distinc-
ton of being the representative Irish
comedian of the American stage. The
language to which he was born and
whose fiuency shaped his speech is the
language of Irish comedy. The vivac-
ity of action, the cordial grace of man
ner and the sense Of humor which are
the heritage of his brilliant country
men, he has inherited to such a degree
as to fit him peculiarly for those Irish
characters which by their wit, deli
cacy and humor appeal to the intelli-
.gence of refined theatre-goers. Being
to the manor born, Mr.. Sully can give
the proper coloring and effect and ere
ates a characterization such as will
command attention and respect. In
"O'Brien, the Contractor" he has a
role specially fitted to show his tai
ents in their best light.
Klaw G changers famous extrava-
ganza, Jack and the Beanstalk," is
now in the third season of its remark
able career and its tour will embrace
visits to most of the cities of New Eng
land the middle West and the South
Its repeated triumphs in Boston, New
York and other cities, almost without
exception making new records of re-
ceipts, have given it the prestige OF
vast publicity and it is in more gen.
eral demand than any other attraction
on the American stage. The vast or
ganization presenting it has been kept
up to the high standard originally fix
ed by its promoters. Its visit to this
city will reveal all the beauties OF
scenery and costume, the brilliant bal
lets, the superb electrical effects, and
the strength of company that have
made Jack" famous throughout the
land 1t will appear at the Opera
House Wednesday, March 22d, matt
