A Company of Talented Artists.

Judging from the very fattering
press notices and high testimonials
received from theatre managers and
others the GOLD LEAF does not hesi-
tate to say that from a musical
standpoint the entertainment to be
given by the Hinshaw Grand Opera
Company, will be the best thing of
the kind that Henderson has been
privileged to enjoy. In "a personal
letter to Manager Poy thress gentle
man who is competent critic writes
this:
''The Hinshaw Grand Opera Company
is composed of high class artists. Mrs.
Ila Burnap Hinshaw is the most re-
markable young soprano in America
Has wonderful voice ranging to A
above G and the most perfect vocal tech
nique imaginable. She will get hold Of
the hearts of your people and withal she
is attractive, beautiful and young. The
whole company is of the highest class
and you can safely say all you wish con-
cerning them. They are all real grand
opera singers-not amateurs. The pro-
gram rendered is not over the people S
heads but is feast of operate music
that will delight your constituency of
musicians and laymen alike
The Hinshaw Grand Opera Compa-
ny is not of the Lyceum course OF
attractions booked by Manager Poy-
thress earlier in the season. 1t is
somewhat to be regretted that they
come on Saturday night, but the
date could not be arranged other
wise Those who attend the concert
will have cause to congratulate them
selves upon their good fortune we feel
sure

Still Attracting the Crowds.

Crowds continue to be attracted
to the Henderson Shoe Company's
store. This is due to the big expan-
sion sale inaugurated to get the
trading public in the habit Of going
there for their wants in the line of
shoes (fOr both sexes and all ages
and sizes) gents furnishing goods,
trunks, valises, travelling bags, etc.
1t is one thing to attract a crowd
and quite another thing to keep at
tracing it, and to add daily new
faces to those previously attracted.
This is exactly what is happening
at the Henderson Shoe Company a
place of business and exactly what
has been happening for many days
yet not strange when we consider the
fact that this is one of the leading
mercantile houses OF the etown-doing
high grade, conservative mercan-
tile business, and hewing closely to
the line OF straight, legitimate busi-
ness methods.
This concern believes in advertising
when they have something to adver-
tise. Just at this time they are deep
in the heart of what is known as a
grand opening expansion sale and
they have so thoroughly advertised
this proposition that they are not
only attracting people from this
city but for miles around. The great
sale is billed to close OF Saturday, No
vember Goth. Better take advan-
tage of it while the opportunity is
offered.

Strictly High Class Attraction.

The Hinshaw Grand Opera Company
which comes to the Grand Theatre Sat
turday night is a strictly high class at
traction, composed of artists OF national
reputation. Music lovers will be given a
taste of grand opera without the trouble
or expense of going to the large cities for
the privilege and pleasure. The program
will include a group of scenes in costume
from popular grand operas, and num-
Der of choice selections from the most
famous of the old ballads. The singers
will be William Wade Hinshaw, one of
the greatest baritones in the United
States. and three other excellent artists,
Ila Burnap Hinshaw, sopranJ, Rose
Lutiger Cannon. contralto, and John b.
Miller, tenor. There will also be skilled
accompanist Mr. Hinshaw has appear
ed in many grand operas in many cities
and has easily held his own against all
corners. even in New York and Chicago.
where he has scored several distinct tri-
umphs. In the selections to be given
here from Faust II Trovatore" and
the other operas he will be at his best
and in addition will appear alone in two
or three of his great solo hits.
Mrs. Cannon has rich, full. contralto
voice and sings with an ease and charm
that has won her hosts of admirers. Mrs.
Hinshaw's soprano is exquisitely sweet,
clear and pure, and equal to all tests As
tenor Mr. Miller has proved his worth
many times before.
With such program and such a group
OF singers the concert cannot fail to
please the music lovers of Henderson,
hundreds of whom are looking forward
to the coming of the company as one oil
the most notable events of the entertain
| ment season.

Broke Plate Glass Window and
Stole a Pistol.

A bold theft was committed last
Thursday night when young negro,
George Pettaway, broke one Of the
large plate glass windows of the
Watkins Brothers Hardware Compa-
ny and stole a pistol and some cart
ridges within reach. He used a rock
to do the breaking, smashing a glass
that cost $4,000 1t developed after
ward that Pettaway had stolen a
watch from the place of business of
another negro, and this together
with the pistol was recovered when
the negro was arrested next day. In
trying to dispose of the pistol to
some one out at the ice factory sus-
picion led to him and he was cap
tured after long chase and the sto-
len goods (Which he threw away as
he RAM were recovered and identified.
Pettaway has served time or two
on the roads for larceny and this Of
fense will doubtless cause him to be
sent up for a longer term.

Audience Pleased Though Not En-
thusiastic.

The Cluxton Musical Comedy Com
pany, the first of the Lyceum course
of attractions. held the boards at the
Grand Theatre Friday night. While
1t was very good and afforded an
agreeable evenings entertainment,
it was not quite up to expectation.
The chorus singing was good and
the bass solo of Mr. George Peltier
was fine. Mr.. Cluxton's impersona-
tiOn of an old actor was we'll done,
while the work of Miss Bessie Bren-
nan as "Americana Girl' in recita-
tions was the best feature Of the
program. The company is not made
up of "artists" in their line, and does
not reach the standard of high class
lyceum attractions, but they provide
a unique and pleasing entertainment
which the audience apparently en-
loved.

At the home of Capt. and Mrs

reception was given to the bridal
party and out OF town visitors.

noon fire broke out in a house neal
the negro Masonic building back Of
Zene street, which resulted in the
burning of the latter and three cot
tage dwellings,, all the property OF

1.-THE FLOWER OF THE RANCH. /"

One Of the Best Shows That VIII be
Seen at the Grand Theatre This
Season-offsring for Friday Night,
November Ioth-4o People In the
Cast - Pretty Chorus Girls and
Catchy 7usic.
THE Flower of the Raneh.'' which
comes to the Grand Theatre on Friday
night, Nov. 18th, is another one OF JOS
! T.. Howard's dozen or more musical sue
cesses, and is one OF the most unique
things yet given to the public by this
prolific music writer.
The Flower of the Ranch is q musi-
cal melodrama, filled with lot OF rat
tlicg good musical numbers, and the
novelty OF the piece lies in the fact that
| 1t Is as closely worked out, in the minu-
| test detail, as any of the highest class
dramatic productions.
There are nearly twenty of the catchi-
/ est musical numbers and a big chorus.
both OF which could be removed and
then there would still be a corking good
| play of the Western kind.
The plot tells the story of the life OF a
little girl, the only survivor OF a stage
coach wreck. who is taken home by a
warm hearted old rancher and made one
OF the family. She is too young when
the accident occurs to know her name.
| and there is no evidence left to tell who
she is. Her romping, bright nature fur
nishes lot of sunshine for the ranehers
who dub her Flower" Sixteen years
on a ranch brings her into young wo-
manhood, and the love affair follows.
in which a young rancher, scheming
sheriff and a villainous Mexican and
Others, including the foster father, are
| the principals.
During the action and development OF
| the story, in which there lot of melo-
| dramatic situations, Mr.. Howard has
| very cleverly introduced some of his very
| best music, which makes it surprisingly
| pleasing and interesting The Pajama
and the Nighties, a pretty duet backed
up by beauty chorus clad in simmer
ing nighties and pink paiamas, Glare
| mont" and 1.-The Days of 40 in which
a real stage coach is introduced, are
three musical numbers sufficiently clever
and pleasing to hold up any musical at
traction, even at two dollar prices.
The production is gorgeous and COM
plete in every detail while the company
numbering over forty odd. includes Jess
Harris, John E. Frank, J. NJ Clayton,
Chas. T. Mast, Walter Z. Long, Alva ID.
Simms, Mark Reed, Miss Nellie Waters
and Ellen James

You Want to See Her.

There is most charming little ac-
tress coming to the Grand Theatre
on Friday night, Nov. 10Th, that
you should all see. She is all life and
vim, she is a show by herself; she can
sing and dance, she. portrays in a
most delicious manner real Western
girl who lives upon ranch, who
loves the mountains and it's people,
and who is a part OF them. She is
pretty, too, and during the perform
ance you feel just like one of the
characters in the show-you are in
love with her. She portrays the
character of Little Flower in 1.-The
Flower of the Ranch," and her name
is Miss Nellie Waters.
