"The Liberty Bellies" Tonight.

Klaw & Changers production OF
Harry 2. Smiths new musical comedy,
"rhe Liberty Bellies" which will be
presented at the Opera House this
evening, tells humorous story in three
acts. The scene of the first act repre-
sents a dormitory in young ladies'
seminary. In this part of the enter
tainment the author incites great deal
of merriment by very adroit contract
of feminine character in it's formative
period. He represents about 30 young
girls from sixteen to twenty years of
age finishing their education at a SEM
mary and displays them in a number
of very humorous incidents, which very
strongly and comically contracts their
temperaments and dispositions. Among
them are all kinds of pretty girls.
There are large girls and small girls;
girls with auburn hair. girls with
tresses like the ravens wings, and girls
with locks that are-well, plain red;
girls that can sing, dance and have
lust the jolliest time imaginable in
their merry make believe surroundings.
With this sort to interpret itland a gen.
ial vein of humor vying with catchy
music to brighten it, "The Liberty
Bellies" has made one of the distinct
hits going in musical comedy in many
years.

Gertrude coghIan Pleases Lewiston
Audience.

The Lewiston Sun of Monday, March
30. has the following complimentary
criticism of Gertrude Coghlan in Alice
of Old Vincennes," who will be seen at
the Opera House, tomorrow evening.
"Alice of Old Vincennes" dramatized
by Edward E. Rose from Maurice
Thompsons Revolutionary romance OF
that name was produced at Music hall,
Saturday evening, by Miss Gertrude
Coghlan before a large audience. The
play while it does not follow the story
of the book in every particular retains
the interest of the story successfully
and has many strong situations. 1t
vas presented Saturday evening in a
very strong satisfactory manner by
Miss Coghlan and her company. Miss
Coghlan Is a young woman of charm
ing personality, with exceeding beauty
of person and charm and grace of
manner, and her acting is marked with
intelligence winsomeness and vivac1ty.
She was particularly strong in the
scene in which she directs John BeV-
erly what to do while pretending TO
read a love story to Col. Hamilton,
though if the latter had been less in
love himself he might have wondered
how she could read from n book held in
the position in which she held it and
in the scene with Col. Hamilton at the
fort in which she fires the signal snot
from his own pistol and then defends
her own honor with n rapier.

The forecast for the month OF April,
according to the Journals weather
oracle. would seem to indicate that we
may expect the usual kind of weather
that characterizes the first month of
the second quarter of the year. inter-
spersed with the usual conjunctions Of
the heavenly bodies and consequent
elementary disturbances. The open
ing days of the month will be marked
by fair weather This VIII last until
about the 10th when for the two fol-
lowing days side attraction will be
offered in the way Of frequent show
ers, heavy thunder. etc. and extremes
Of temperature. As reason for this
extrayagant demonstration on the part
of the element it may be said that q
conjunction of the moon and Mars oc-
ours on the 10th, and one of Mercury
and the sun on the 18th. Fair weather
will follow until the 10th, when there
will occur a conjunction OF Saturn and
the moon. and on the 23rd Jupiter and
the moon. Light showers alternating
with fair weather will follow In rapid
succession. On the 18th there occurs a
conjunction Of Mercury ana the moon,
and on the 18th another between Venus
and the moon. after which q settled
rain of two or three days duration
may be expected.
