Musical Comedy Makes Bigi
Hit at Local Opera House
Packed House at Opening.
One of the largest audiences as
sembled in tho opera house lor some
time turned out last night to greet
the opening play of Young's Musicat
Comedy company, whldh was one oif
the funniest performances ever
staged on the bay. From the rise oC
the curtain until thp finale, the audi
ence was kept In an uprcr of laugh
ter and applause at the humorous
stunts of Frank Harcourt, who was
"Abe Bernstein," the Jew, Charles
Dudley, who represented the charac
ter of an aetbr, J. Francois Abbott,
who played the character of a theat
rical manager, and Al T. Dlckerson,
tho "musjeal director."
The makeup of all the players was
excellent for humorous purposes an5
the singing of Miss Olivia Clayne, the
soubrette, Miss Maude Williams, AJ
T. Dlckerson, Abbott, Dudley and the
others In the cast was very good.
The absence of an orchestra caused
a void In the musical part of tho
program that was fairly woll QllPdl
by the use of a piano.
The chorus girls were pretty ancS
their costumes Were attractive. They
I changed tho latter about five times
during the performance and in each
Instance aroused tho enthusiasm ot
the audience by their par,ts. Tho
entire show was good from start to
finish and there wero no weak parts;
in evidence last night. The leaders
of the cast are all high-priced peo
ple, and It Is seldom that tho peo
ple on the bay have a chance to en
joy a show of its class at tho local
opera house.
The bill tonight Is "The Girl Fronv
'Frisco," and it will bo a superb
burlesque, well staged and members
of tho company who did not appear
last night will bo represented Iu the
play which will use tho elforts of the
whole company.
"Puck, Judge and tho Led' " wil
bo tho bill at the opera houso to
morrow night. This Is one of the
most laughable farces over producouE
and the company has tho reputation
of getting out tho best poiutb .n tiu
performance, which Is claimed to b-
Its best show.
