THE LoRcH COMPANY
WEDNESDAY EVENING,

At the Opera House Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 10, Mr.. Theodore Lorch, sup
ported by Miss Josephine Deffry and
an excellent company of players, will
present the greatest historical war
drama ever written. "a Soldier of the
Empire" is pronounced by the critics
of the eastern papers to be one of the
best of its kind ever presented before
the American public. The play has
run the gamut of dramatic criticism in
New York and has broken house rec
ords in big cities. 1t is an interesting
story of the time when Napoleon Bona
parte was emperor Of France and of
the great war when he sought to make
himself ruler of the world, and of his
overthrow by the king, and at last his
Imprisonment on the Isle of Elba. "a
Soldier of the Empire" is the staunch
supporter of Napoleon, and at the fall
of his general he is appointed major
general of the kings army. There are
plenty Of thrilling climaxes in the play
and pretty love scenes, although a vein
of comedy runs throughout. The cos
tunes are very pretty and the scenery
elaborate. Seats now on sale at Lar
annie drug store. Prices rs and so
cents.

SLAYToN JUBILEE SINGERS
WILL BE AN ATTRACTI(

The greatest company of colored art
lists hat has ever appeared here, who
will be on, the Y. P. S. c. q. lyceum
course on october 16, has been the
universal verdict of press and public
wherever this superb attraction has ap-
peared throughout America. They are
unquestionably the ideal colored artists
of America, having given over 1000
concerts to date, and it is the only col
ored organization that has ever ap-
peared on the larger lecture courses of
this country. From Boston to San
Francisco they have appeared in every
large city and in every first-class lect-
ure course, and they have been the
one colored company thus recognized.
The same high standard will be main
tanned the coming season. They are
unexcelled and flrst-class. The per.
sonnet of the company viii never re-
main the same as long as we find room
for improvement and they introduce
new material as fast as it is necessary
to keep up the standard of this organi.
cation. They have played more return
dates than any other musical orgapiza-
ton in the country and are recognized
as the one and only colored attraction.
They give a varied program, including
the old-time jubilees as well as the up
to-date numbers, and during the coming
season will be stronger and better than
ever. The company is composed of
three ladies n five gentlemen, and
the BLACK Patti" is world-renownec
for her sweet singing.
