new BILL OPENS
AT OPERA HOUSE

There appears to be about the right
proportion OF comedy, novelty. drama
and music and the right standard of
quality in the bill which opened at
the Opera House yesterday to please
the admirer of vaudeville and every
act came in for its share Of applause.
Henry Lee continues as the head
liner and the bright particular star
Of the bill. In honor of entering upon
the second half Of the week he yes
terday offered some new portrayals
and also changed the dialogue in some
Of those which he had used before, a
little thing perhaps, but one which
shows the versatility of this eminent
actor. A new feature, not seen at
the Opera House before was a pre-
sentation of General Robert E. Lee,
and when the orchestra played Dixie
and the actor appeared as General
Lee. there was so much approval that
it might have been supposed that the
audience composed a chapter Of the
Daughters of the Confederacy or some
similar organization.
Williams and Rose. in a pretty play
let. full of good comedy, fulfilled all
Of the promises which had been made
for Might at the Club" II is brim
full of humor, but most Of all II gives
opportunity for Miss Rose to show
some good character acting. In the
twenty minutes, or a little more, al
loted to the act. Miss Rose appears in
four different characters, all widely
different. and at the same time gives
Mr.. williams sufficient time to make
a hit with some conversational comedy.
Miss Rose also gives a sample Of
clever toe dancing.
One Of the hits of the bill, however,
was that of the Lazaro Trio, Italian
street singers. There are two mando-
Inns and a guitar in the trio, and in
addition to a number of Instrumental
selections the trio showed that the
members possess decidedly pleasing
voices, and there We're songs, all o.
which were we'll given. The nam,
