LAST NIGHT.


IN fact that the managers of the
theater Immediately rebooked the
for three nights and mat
inee in February of next year. Mr..
Swisher would have been glad to
bring them back earlier. but they
are booked solid until then aud make
a jump from Terre Haute to, get here
then. They are at Hamilton for the
balance of the week and then go to
Toledo and then Cleveland. The fact
is, had this company charged higher
prices, as they are worth,~they would
have done a better business. People
did not know their worth, and while
they had as good patronage as we
usually give repertoire here, it was
not what they will receive here at
their next visit Their representa-
ton of The Lady of Lyons last
night was as good in every way as
we have seen here at any price. A
standard play. so well given, was
real pleasure, too, after the deiuge of
modern dramas and comedies we
have had this season.
TONIGHT.
With the advent of the vaudeville
theater came change in farce come
DIV productions, and the change has
become SO marked that the average
farce is only step beyond the oper-
attic and extravaganza productions,
which always delight the eye and ear
as dazzling costumes aud beautiful
scenery form an important factor in
the up-to-date play, taking the
~ .v1f
which in former years consti-
tuted the major part of these enter
tainments, Sherman and DeFOrest
aud company, who present cold
Dan Tucker" at the Phillips tonight,
are among the leaders in this par
ticular line of amusement, having
surrounded themselves with artists
who not only entertain with pleasing
specialties, but also possess singing
voices capable of presenting in a
highly satisfactory manner the nu-
merous operate novelties written
especially for this company.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Crowded houses have been the rule
everywhere that "When We We're
Twenty-One" has been presented,
and when we remember the charm
ing story of the play, it's mastery
conception, the brilliancy of its dia-
logue, the admirable mingiingof SEN
timent and mirth, the enormous sue
cess it made at the knickerbocker
theater, New York, and the excellent
company which has been organized
TO present this remarkable and clev-
er play, the large receipts can readi
ly be accounted for. A superb com
pany will present this brilliant and
powerful comedy drama at the Gen
nett theater next Saturday.
THE CONCERT.
The concert of the Richmond or
chestra and chorus is now attracting
a great deal of attention and rightly
so. We give home talent concert
in Richmond now that is the equal in
every way Of the concerts by the big
gest organizations of professionals
that ever come here. A great deal
of this is due to Mr.. and Mrs. Gen
nett, whose pains taking work and
self-sacrifice through their love for
music and desire to see it brought to
the highest possible plane has made
it possible; without this it could %
have been done. The plan of the or
ganiZ alton has been a wise one, so
arranged that the musicians who de-
pend upon music for livelihood are
paid enough that they lose nothing
By the time they put in; while thOse
who love music as diversion are
put to no expense, only lose their
time, ard this in such a way through
the association with trained must
clans and under proper direct OF
that it IS a gain to then instead of
a less. Thus the organization has
been made the largest as well as the
best in the state-a chorus of seventy
voices, an orchestra of sixty FIVE.
