Opening of New Opera House
The three-act farce comedy, "Captain Racket", given under the
auspices of the McDonald Relief Club on Friday evening, was the success
of the season. From the time the curtain went up until the close of the
last act the audience was convulsed with laughter.
The cast, composed entirely of local talent, is all to be commended.
They took their parts like old timers. A special feature of the evening
was the music furnished by the new MOTTE Orchestra. This was the first
time many had heard them and all expressed surprise and appreciation at
the fine program rendered. Particular attention was paid to Miss DE
BRUXELLES, one of the leading violinists. A lady member of an orchestra
is something rarely seen in the larger towns. The members of this
orchestra are all students of the leader, Mr. Eli MOTTE, who deserves
the credit and the encouragement of our citizens. Everyone was
enthusiastic in praise of the new Opera House. It is well lighted and
comfortably heated. The acoustics were perfect, every word spoken on the
stage being plainly heard in all parts of the house. The management is
to be commended on the perfect order maintained, and if this precedent
is established, we bespeak for him success in his new venture.
The ladies of the Relief Club acted as ushers and seated the large
audience in a creditable manner, notwithstanding the more or less
confusion caused by the loose chairs, the regular opera chairs not
having been placed yet. Taking it all together, it was a very enjoyable
evening and we could stand more such entertainments.
