PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE

Seldom has the first performance OF a
play received more enthusiastic greeting
than was accorded THE Stolen story,
a work by Jesse Lynch Williams, at Ine
Providence opera house last evening. The
niece Is full Of human interest and is pro-
duced with a remarkable attention TO

reason IS Interesting TO thousands who are

Mr.. Williams has been wei known 10 the
magazin reading public for some time as
n giyer of inside information aud the au-
thor OF pleasant stories about the makers
OF newspapers. There was therefore bound
to be considerable interest IN the hrs' per-
formance OF his play.
He was present last evening and IN re-
tponse TO many insistent calls Tor the
author made n brief but pertiheat speech.
The audience began TO show Its sati5tt1-
