Grand opcra House.


 It has been many days since a play of more genuine wholesomeness and presenting a stronger vein of human nature than that of "A Ministers Son, which opened three-days' engagement at the Grand Opera House last night. There was a representative addience present, and they attested to their sat- isfaction keen enjoyment and interest of the production by generous and fre- quent applause. Insistent demands were made at the close of each of the interesting acts for curtain appearances and the members of the company grace fully acknowledged the desires.
 While the company is strong in every respect, yet W. B. Patton, who as- sumed the title role, was especially prominent in his work and portrayed the character in most excellent and meritorious manner He was especially good in the more intense and thrilling passages, and in the climaxes gave ev- idenee of much historic ability.
 There is an odor of country fragrance and sweetness pervading the atmos- phere of the play, and this opens a new series of thought on which and around which the story is woven in a masterly manner. The relation of the plot would be lengthy because of its strange and intricate situations. As usual, the hero { is victorious in his aims and purposes and the villain failed and punished. "A Ministers Son" contains a stirring les son for all, and should be witnessed by crowded houses tonight and tomorrow night and Wednesday matinee.
