The Aubrey Dramatic Company
packed the Grand Opera House to the
doors for two performances yesterday,
and all who witnessed the elaborate
productions were loud in their praise
of both plays and company. 1t is the
strongest repertoire organization which
has appeared in Wheeling this sea-
son. This afternoon the company will
present the beautiful play For Love of
a Woman" Tonight "Sappho" will
be produced for the first time in
Wheeling. 1t will be a clean perform
ance, and the management claims for
it that it will be just as pleasing as
the Olga Nethersole production. On
account of the extremely heavy royal
ty under which the play is produced,
the management finds it necessary to
fix the prices at the usual scale Of
the Grand. All other performances
will be given at ten, twenty and thirty
cents.

Abruptly Christmas Morning.
There was a big cooking main at
Fulton Monday night. The pit was
located in a hail connected with a we'll
known saloon. All the birds were
owned by Wheeling parties. and some
fine cocks were shown. It was the
intention to fight all day Christmas,
but only nine fights took place.
The sport terminated about three
o'clock yesterday morning, on account
of a row which started in the saloon,
and assumed such proportions that it
threatened to involve the whole push
1t was reported that the fights were to
be resumed later in the day. Wheth-
er or not this was done, could not be
learned.

The Lafayette Show.

The great Lafayette Show is the Of
fering at the Opera House for a half
week beginning Thursday night. This
company is regarded by Manager Fem
lei as the most brilliant array of fash
iCnable vaudeville talent which has yet
been presented at his playhouse. The
Great Lafayette whose work has been
pronounced more wonderful than that
of Ching Ling Eco, and who has JUST
returned from a-tour Of remarkable
triumphs abroad, comes as the central
planet in a cluster of vaudeville stars.
His stay on the stage is a continual
round of clever receptions and con-
slant surprises. Possessed of a keen
sense of humor, Lafayette turns his
talent now and then to tricks and
lightning changes. His performance
is at once ~audacious and beWildering.
From beneath a magic shawl he brings
forth the most unexpected and SEEM
ingly impossible articles such as a
huge bowl filed with geese. pigeons,
and his beautiful setter dog Beauty"
a happy family of magical animals.
With Lafayette are eight other acts,
covering practically all lines of fash
ionable vaudeville work.
