The Man of the Hour" which will
be given at the grand Opera House
night and again on the night
of June II, is one of the most ambi-
tious attempts which have been made

one, with just enough comedy, intro
duced through characters which are
absolutely in their place, to make quick
laughs of humor, though without any
horse play

dignified men on the local bench,
man against whose personal character
not a word could be saids what to do
