Opera House Managers Should Have
a Care.

The following from the Biloxi
Review indicates that that ancient
borough has recently been treated
to some highly salacious Thes-
plan exhibits:
The Review joins with the re-
spectacle element in this com
munity in protest against the
class of performances being ex-
hibited in this city, and in a plea
for higher and cleaner order of
Thespian amusement. The class
of troupes being brought here,
with rare exceptions, is an insult
to the decent families of this city,
as well as depriving them of the
pleasure andenjoyment the theatre
was designed to afford. The ten
dency of such plays as that given
here last night is to debauch the
youth of the city, to debase
morals and assault every sense of
the decent proprieties, and it is
not surprising that worthy citi-
zens protest against such. That
this man or that is responsible for
the condition of matters cuts no
figure; it is wrong, is doing ma
terial violence to the welfare of
the community and should be
prevented Biloxi stands with
the enlightened cities of the land
and wants no more negro shows.
