Theatcr-The third presentation OK
"The Wedding Day at the thcater last
night drew another big and brilliant
audience. The opera went with the
same vim and yigor as before and was
received with unbourded enthusiasm.

il was the first time she had ever be-

she said 10 the News" today that she
was simply astonished AT the general
proficiency Of he company, and par

Orphcum-Sparkling with interest
and pulsating with action were the
Orpheum offerings last night. The
audience was also large, and ample as
was It's size It's mood was even more
generous. II listened with delight to

Grand-The management OF me
Grand theater promised the patrons OF
that house something out OF the ordin-
AIRY when the Holy city should be
presented here. and Il is safe 10 say
that few, II any, Of last nights audi
ence were in the least dissatisfied.
From the first rise Of the curtain 10 tho
last going down thereof, scenes were
denoted and roles were enacted that
held the soul IN a state Of reverent in
terest. SO real seemed the whole per-
fornance that one could scarcely bring
himself 10 believe that he was not IN
the heart OF the City OF David at the
/ time when there lived and died the one
I OF whom Il has been said that He was
never seen TO smile, while thousands
| saw Hin weep. To those who believe
I in the Master and In His noble life
/ and proptiating DEATH the story Is
/ impressed upon the mind BY witnessing
/ the play OF the Holy city more COM
pletely than reading could ever effect
There ia nothing but reverence
( throughout the entire performance. No
/ attempt IS made to impersonate Him
/ around whom the play oenters. As In
Ben Hur." IN those parts where His
presence would seem necessary, a halo
/ Of light appears. and IN the tragic scene
/ OF the crucihxlon and IN the glorious
representation OF the resurrection, vast
pictures are brought into requisition
and the effect Is wonderful.
