The Opera House

The Opera House

A. G. Byers and Seward Cramer Awarded the Management.

M. O. Whalen, the well known contractor who has erected some fine buildings here during the past two years, gave up his lease to the opera house last evening owing to the fact that his building interests have demanded so much of his entire time elsewhere. Hereafter the opera house will be run by the stockholders without any tenant paying a money rent, and last evening the directors held a meeting to decide upon managers for the opera house. The position of trust was given to Mr. A. G. Byers, who has acted in the capacity during the past year, and Seward Cramer, who will share the duties with Mr. Byers.

The managers, Messrs. Byers and Cramer, wish to assure the theater-going public that they will be treated with all the courtesy possible, and any inattention on the part of attaches to the house should be reported to them. The new management has already started out with a determination of securing some first-class bookings for the season, and soliciting letters to well known eastern managers have been forwarded. Ypsilanti has a large class of theater lovers and an untiring endeavor will be made to satisfy the most exacting desires of this portion of the community.

Miss Boering, dressmaker for Lamb, Davis & Kishlar, expects to return to this city September 22.
