They will prove a valuable ac quisition to this community. Harry Choate, the gifted actor, pre sented for the entertainment of his many friends both old and new. a pretty domestic comedy, "An Un equal Match," at the opera house, Tuesday night, the cast being taken by some of Warsaw's best local talent, trained by Mr. Choate during the past few weeks. The house was pack ed from doors to footlights with a de lighted audience, a compliment to Mr. Choate, and making the play a fin ancial success for the M. W. A. Con cert band for whose benefit it was giv en. The ladies and gentlemen in the cast, well acquitted themselves, play ing their several parts with the ease and air of professionals, the general verdict being that they played better than half of the professional com panies showing at the opera house. Harry Choate was at his best in the character of the old farmer having lost none of his old-time vim and spirit. His recitation of that stirring old poem "Shamus O'Brien," between acts, thrilled his audience, and called forth storms o? applause. The Colum bian Male Quartet—trained local tal I ent—made p. I and Master Harry Troutvetter in a whistling solo, and eneore." proved himself the peer of all stage whistlers either male or female this was the unanimous verdict his whistling is wonderful. To especially give credit to each character in the cast would be impossible, comparisons would be invidious as all were good all wen stars, and could go on the road today end make money. A fine orchestra composed of piano, cornet, violin, drums and cello, rendered sweet music. Mr. Choate thanks his many friends for their liberal support and encouragement, and promises to return in March and present another play, He says Warsaw has a great deal of exceptionally good dramatic talent. La Harpe has sent for Mr. Choate to as sist talent there in presenting a play for the benefit of the Carnegie library, and he left for that city Wednesday noon. Carthage wants him when he gets through at T.aHarpe, and he ex I pects to put in the winter in thi:» work in this part of the slate and perhaps neighboring states, making Warsaw his headquarters. The Cleveland Stock Company will I present popular plays at the opera house Dec. 17, 18, 19. Winninger Brothers, those popular German comedians and Warsaw fav I oriates, are endeavoring to make dates in February, three days or a week, Needless to say they will play—if they come—to "standing room only."
