The "Wizard of o."

The Wizard of OF" will be seen at
the Augusta Opera House, Thursday.
Oct. Is. with cast of favOrites who
have helped make Fred r. Hamlin's
extravaganza Sd popular during the
past three seasons. THE Wizard has
easily demonstrated the fact that it is
one of the most popular entertain
ments ever produced in America.
There are so many popular features in
it, such clever comedians. pretty girls
and elaborate and startling scenic eff
fects that there is small cause to Won
der that such is the case. The cos
tuning in The Wizard" while at
times startling. is never homogeneous,
and the dances and figures have been
most admirably arranged by Julian
Mitchell. OF the scenic effects, the
ones most remembered are the cyclone,
the field of poppies and the realistic
snowstorm. The curtain gees up
promptly at eight and it is wise for
those who wish TO witness the cyclone
scene to be in their seats promptly, as
it takes place shortly after the per-
Torrance begins.

The Roe Stock Co. scored a distinct
success, last evening, in its excellent
presentation of the exciting Southern
drama, AT Piney Ridge" The cast
was well balanced and the characters
well sustained. The scenic effects and
costuming were of distinctly higher
class than are usually seen in roper
toire companies. There have been many
companies featuring stars at the lo-
cal Opera house, which did not begin to
give so strong a dramatic entertain-
ment as was given by the Roe Com
pany, last evening. There We're also a
number of exceptionally good special
ties. The management of the Roe Com
pany has employed a number of we'll
known dramatic artists, including Eu-
gene Frazier. formerly Miss Coghins
leading man. In the character of Jack
Rose. the hero of last nights drama.
Mr.. Frazier did some very clever work
which was warmly appreciated by the
audience. The parts generally were 50
well taken that it is difficult to single
out particular ones for special men
ton. Merton Strock as General Deer
ing, w. S. HAT as Major Jartree. Ida
Glenn as Cindy Lane and Helen 5.
Bick as Dagmar were all strong, while
some very clever work was done by
of Mark Briasson.
