Tne opening performance of the Curtiss Oomedv Company was a grand success from every point of view, for no better company has ever appeared in our city and our theatre goere are looking forward to a grand weeks en gagement at the new opera house. The company, one md all, are artists I of a Mgher st*nHorH ' 'found in popular priced attractions ! and each one ia the cast last night : gave the beet of satisfaction, and to ! each one ia due a mead of praise. But I a large share of credit belongs to Harry Lee, the clever comedian who j appeared in the role of Hi Haskins. This part be played to perfection and his droll sayings and songs and dances delighted all. Mr. (Jurtiss as the &b sent minded professor was artistic in his part and proved himself an actor of rare ability. Mr- VV. 8. Hamner, in tiie leading role, is an artist pleasing in hie work end bis portrayal of Allen Shaw was a perfect piece of acting and he became a favorite with the ! audience at once. Mr. Geo. Tilden and Wilber Atkist a in their respective I parts did their share to make the per ! formance campifte and each one j proved to be able to give satisfaction : in their parts and Mr. Tilden as Mar ! tin Shaw was very interesting. Miss j Marie Dale in the role of Ruth Walton ' had a very difficult part but gave such a splendid portrayal cf the character • that the won th * loye and es lee m of j every one iu the large audience. Miss I Odora Tilden as the old maid was a ; big favorite from the very rise of the curtain and her splendid conception of the part is all that could be asked. Mise Madge Irving who looked so cute cunning and clever as Mable Haletead is an actress who will no doubt win j many friends in Waskhachie before j the week is over; and judging from her work last night she is a refined actress and capable of playing many different parte. The company is beyond all doubt one ef the very best popular priced organizations that has ever been in the state and during their engagement a crowded house should greet them at ! every performance. Tonight they will appear in the I grand five-act comedy-drama, "Man and Master," and it is a sure guarantee that no better play has ever been seen here.
