present that exceedingly fanny farce
comedy, "Brown's in Town,'.' at the
opera House on Thanksgiving niiilit.
The plot of "Brown' in Towu," if it
can be said- to have a-plct, revolves
around tl.e prejudices of Abel Prestcii,
who Is very rich ' and very much of a
woman hater. ' He had warned his eon
Dick against the wiles of the sex and
la- threatened to disinherit him should
he ever marry. Notwithstanding this
prohibition Dick marries and in spend
ing his honey:: oon with hi wife, -mder
the assumed name of Erown, when
Abel chances upon them. In tl.e com
plicartious that ensue ,there is a very
general mix-up involving the three
Prestons, Arthur Howard, a former
bi'.itor for the hand of Mrc Preston,
Susanne Daores, s mutual friend, Freda
Von II llenhurgh, a fiancee of Arthur
I low ai d's, and various, other characters.
The dialogue is bruht and witty, the
sitrations and complications absurd.
