Grand Opera Sousc.

Weber's PARTISAN Widows" opened a
three nights engagement at the Grand
Opera house last night and played to a
big house, which was thoroughly appre-
ciative and demonstrative. The organ
ization fulfilled here all that was eX-
pected of it and kept up the round of
success which has attended it during
the entire season. Altogether 1t is one
of the most pleasing companies that has
appeared here this season. Tho ar
rangement is something unique and at
the same time exceedingly pleasing.
The vaudeville which heads the pro-
gramme is in every way good and In
cludes those famous singers and come
dams the Manhattan Comedy -Four
M. 7. Bohannan, Al Shean, Arthur f.
Williams and Edward c. Mack; How
ard and Bland who in their act, THE
RUDE and the Kid" do and say some
funny things which last night won the
audience; Bartell and Morris as '"The
Hebrew and the Musician; Russell and
artists; and Charles Nj. Seay and Hol-
lie Galbirt in their latest travesty,
Dollars and Dogs" a most ludicrous
farce, and Ruby Marion in select cor
net solos. Miss Ruby Marion is the
handsome young blonde, who some
months ago was stricken with the idea
that stage land was not as bright as
what the onlooker thought and who
with the idea that her life and work
would be more valuable in the saving
of the fallen, enlisted in the ranks of
the Salvation Army under Ballentine
Booth at the Cathedral in New York,
Being possessed of jewelry valued at
IS, 000 she Immediately donated this for
the good and welfare of the army. But
the old fascinatio for the stage could
not be shaken off and SO she remains
on the boards to delight large audiences
wherever she appears. Following the
vaudeville Isl the musical burletta, "A
Tin Wedding" in which Al Shean, who
will star next season, makes a lot of
fun. Others in the cast are Miss
Marion, Joe Morris, Clara Simonds,
Emma Ralfe, lilly Tillyne, Leona
Bland, Blanche Martin, May Clayton,
