All in all the whole produc-

patronage it received, and we
shall be surprised if a still
larger house does not greet the
performers this evening. The
list of patrons and patronesses
was we'll represented in the au-
dience last night, all being
present who were not prevent
ed by unavoidable cause. If
the production is as successful
this evening as last, and there
is every reason to believe that
it will be more so, Missouri
Valley may pride itself that a
great religious entertainment
may be made a success here as
we'll as other forms Of enter
tainment and that a production
may be successfully rendered
here that is usually not at
tempted in a city of this size,
this being the only city in this
section of the country which
has attempted to give this
large and elaborate entertain
mant, except Omaha and Sioux
