Labadie's Faust.

Hubert Labadie's startling scenic pro-
duction of Faust will be rendered at
the opera house tomorrow Saturday
evening, December 18th. Ten people are
engaged in this production, and the press
reports speak of them in the highest
terms. Read the following two press
notes:
The Hornellsville IN. " Daily says:
without exaggeration the production of
Faust, given by the Labadie company at
the opera house last evening, was one of
the best ever seen in our city. Mary
Won Tromp Labadie as Marguerite car
ried off the honors easily. Her portrayal
of Goethe's immortal character was as
finished as any stage affords today. HUI
bert Labadie as Mephisto sustained the
part evenly and we'll. The scenery was
all special. The electrical effects were
particularly gocd."
The Deadwood $50. Dakota) Pioneer
Times of May Is, 1901, says: "The au.
dience at the opera house last night
witnessed an artistic presentation OF
Faust, by Hubart Labadie and his COM
pany. The company is ali that it was
represented, and the people who attend
ed were entirely satisfied with the per-
formance. Those who did not attend
missed an attraction possessing the ex-
cellence that finished actors, complete
stage setting, and rich costumes can give.
Mr.. Labadie's company carries an ex-
tensjve lot Of scenery for the piece, and
is able to produce magnificent effect.
