Hanlon Bros.' “Fantasma" was re peated at O’Brien's opera house last night to a small audience. The perfor mance, as on the night previous, gave entire satisfaction, the specialties elic iting liberal applause. George H. Adams gave his usual ex cellent pantomime performance and the McDonald brothers gave a wonderful aerobatic exhibition. Introducing the hu man ladder and other features equally difficult. The other features of the performance ■were up to the usual standard of that excellent play. Wainwright Not Coming. The engagement of Marie Wainwright at O'Brien’s for next Tuesday dTight has been cancelled. The cause of her failurd to come to O’Brien's is not known here. The Georgia Minstrels. A revival of old time minstrelsy will take place at O’Brien's opera house (Wednesday, November 27. when Rich ards & Pringle's Famous Georgia min fitrels will appear. The company is com posed entirely of colored performers and Includes such notable people as Billy Kersands, the great Jalvan. Craig, Hill man and Vernon, James White, James iMoore, W. O. Terry, C. F. Alexander. Noil Moore and the famous Crescent City quartette. Mr. E. O. Richards, the man ager of the company, has been very suc cessful In the minstrel line and today hus the only company composed entirely of negro talent. He has the faculty of know 4ng how to handle these people, which is proved by the twenty-five years he has managed them. It is not a mammoth troupe, but a very compact organization, arui their programme Is new and varied enough to suit the masses. It will prove to be a decided novelty to the patrons of the opera house who have not had a chance to see an exclusively colored mln strey show for some time. The following Is one of the many press notices received by the company: "At the Grand opera, house last night Pichards & Pringle’s Georgia minstrels drew what was certainly one of the larg est audiences which that building has ever held. The crowd was enthusiastic and encouraged the artists with contin ued applause, and It is but well-merited praise to say that it was every bit de ferred. Hot Springs has never seen a clean r, more satisfactory performance than that which was given last night, ami a good entertainment of that kind will never fall to meet with an equally kind reception here.” Market looks higher for cot tou. Liberal advancements and low charges for handling. Birmingham is now a good inland market. Try us. Jo nas Schwab & Co. MOVING SMOOTHLY Is the Methodist Conference at Gadsden.
