Junker e. Corcoran' S beautiful pro-
duction of 1.-The Land O. Cotton"
which appears at the Opera House, to-
night. is one of those plays which will
live for wears because there is nothing
vulgar. crude or coarse in its construc-
ton not filled with melodramatic clap
trap. 1t is simply wholesome heart
some play story from life in which
the characters are natural and human
which when coupled with faultless
presentation by SO capable company
of players, makes it play that every
one should see. The curtain will not
20 up until nine O'Clock, which will
enable many of our business men TO
witness this interesting performance.
