Notice. Mark Twain in his cJever book has taken a Connecticut Yankee from a Hartford work-shop and without ceremony or apology sent him back to the court of King Arthur in the sixth century. In the comedy of "Niobe" which is now in its second successful season, the authors have brought the petrified queen of Thebes over a much longer period of time and landed her alive in the some what troubled bosom of a Yankee family. Both conceits suggests instantly the possibilities of infinite fun, and as handled by their respective authors the fun is gotten out of them in solid chunks, so to speak. If there was such a contrivanee as a laughter metre by which it could be possible to measure the merriment of mankind it might be possible to definitely ascertain that "Niobe" has provoked a greater volume of that article than any modern play. Without the aid of the laughter-metre we venture the opinión that it has. "Niobe" can be seen and laughed at on Saturday, March 31, at the Grand Opera House.
