depreciation of."Noah Vale" His com
pany each and every one is said to be
all that can be desired. While Ellis
worth himself Is pre-eminent, by rea-
son Of his exceptional ability, his COM
pany is so good that n does not feel
as though he had been looking at a
zone man show" such as the majority
of the attractions now presented are
The play is a finished picture well put
together, and skillfully planned. In
addition to this the entire company
presents the play in a most pleasing
manner, while the clever and artistic
acting of Mr.. Ellsworth, with his drol-
lery, his genial simplicity, his strength
and his weakness, as exemplified in
Noah Vale" makes a character study
that is the dominating feature of the
play. This excellent attraction will be
at the Opera House on Thursday night,
