The Nhaw Company.
This strong company of dramatists
began a week’s engagement at the opera
house Monday evening, and have been
greeted by a crowded house at each per
formance.
Monday evening there was
presented “The Westerner," a rather
light but well-written drama. Tuesday
evening the audience witnessed the j
comedy-drama entitled “Farmer Steb
bins." As additional proof that the
Shaw company does not give the best
plays first, Wednesday evening’s ren
dition of "From Sire to Son" fairly
captivated and carried the people on its
tide from the first act in the mining
camp at Yuba, California, till the cur-
taiu rung down on the last act in the
old castle on the Rhine. Thursday ev- I
eiiing tlie company presented the story
of Cuba’s struggle for freedom, “The
Last Stroke."
