After considerable trouble on the psrt of
Mr.. Seaver, manager of the opera house,
he has secured Simvelle's magnificent
production of Romeo and Juliet to play
here one night only, Friday evening, July
81. This attraction deserves a good patron
age as 1t is one of the finest ever booked in
our town. The company is a very efficient
one, fully equipped with special scenery
and effects. This promises to be the the
atrical event of the season. We copy the
following mention of this company from
an exchange. "It is doubtful il the people
OF Saranac Lake have ever witnessed on
our stage a more pleasing entertainment
than Simvelle's presentation of Romeo and
Juliet. The costuming was beautiful. The
work of Chas. Balsar, as Romeo, Miss
Mamie Lorrimer, as Juliet, and, indeed the
entire cast deserves much praise. Taken
all in all it was the best dramatic produc-
tion ever presented here, if one is to Judge
by the expression of opinion of the pub
lic.'
