The entertainment given at the Opera House last Monday evening was a succcss. Aside from the tedious waits which bespeak an amateur performance, the evening was a very en joyable one. The comedy drama "Fate" afforded a good opportunity for a diversity of roles, and they were very acceptably iilled. Mr. Harriman and Miss O'Brien, aside from Mr. Bishep the professional who acted as instructor, were the leading eharacters. 15oth carried their part to the entire satisfaction of the audience. Mr. Harriman was sutïering from a severe cold which interfered with his work, but his impersonation of Ilarry (irautly, the thoughtless husband was very good. It was greatly enhanced by his natural and easy stage manner, unusual in so young a man and an amateur. Miss O'Brien, as Blanche sterling the adventuress, carried herself with spirit, and played her part underatandingly. Mrs. Greenwoocl and Mrs. Showerman also pleased the audience with their work. Tn faet to speak of the good work of one makes it almost compulsory to speak of all. Mr. Bishops' work gave the whole play strength, and Mr. Muggs, who was "so hungry," kept the audience laughing most of the time. The whole entertainment w;is one of high character for amateur work. It is hoped the flnancial success was as great as the artistic success, for which last featurrf much praise is also due to Mr. Martin Ilallcr for the manner in which he set the stage.
