sition tbey could get from the Co.

contract be entered into at that rate.

The World at the Opera Hoae.
On Wcdncseay evening 31 arch 2 will
occur the grand spectacular Mel Dra
matic event of the season, the appear
ance of America's favorite author and
actor. Mr. .1. Z. Little, and a superb
company producing the most wonderful
drama ever written entitled the' World''
Mr. I. iitlt carries and uses in this play
a car loud of new and magnificent
scenery and the public are assured that
every cene will be produced as adver
tised. The Madison (Ind.) Daily
Courier iu its criticism on this wonder
ful play, publishes the following:
Little's "Vorld." Never was there a
more delighted audience assembled
within the walls of a building than that
of last night. The manager gave all aud
more than promised; the scenery was
there and the marvelous effects were
most beautiful and, thrilling. Our small
stage as big ai the ocean, in fact, so
artistic was the raiuting and mechanical
arrangement of the scenes, that we for
got it was a play, aud, for the time being,
gave ourselves up to the iuleuse realism
of the events passing before us like one
iu a dream.
When the curtain rose in the second
act we saw the deck of a large steamer;
there were the bulwarks, the cabin, the
stair leading to the bridge all com
plete. Iu the storm all siuks entirely
out of suht, while we gaze in awe and
wonder, thrilled with fear and pity for
the unfortunates who are clinging to the
Iloatiug spars, while the hero lashes
them together in the form of a raft.
Tbe next act shows us the entire stage
so arranged that, look where we may,
the eye meets only sky and water, aud
the frail raft with its suliering occupants
rocking ou the waves. In the moment of
despair, wneu death seems the only re
lease, a ship is seen in the distance, and
is rapidly passing out of sight, when her
atteut ion i attracted by the signals
lrom the raft. She fires a gun; then her
aiN are furled, and she changes her
course direct toward the castaways.
This is beyond dnubc the most perfectl y
beautiful and realistic scene ever pro
duced on any stage, and to see its per
fect setting and every detail carried out
without a blot or- blemish, ou our small
stage excited the utmost admiration.
This one scene alone is worth double the
price of admission. The following
scene are complete and appropriate,
while the acting of the Hero by Mr. J. Z.
Little, fully sustains the well-earned
reputation that preceeded him. The
supporting company were each and all
competent and artistic, having no sticks
or novices to mar and blur the continu
ity of the plot; for this we thank Mr.
Morris, and wish all managers who vhit
our city would as faithfully carry out
the promises made to the public. Let
another crowded house show that our
citizens encourage a first-class enter
tainment. 31 on roe Item.
