"A Romance of the Woods" Made HR With Playgoers.

If you did not go to the opera house last night you missed one of the best dramatic treats with which the people of our city have been regaled in years. “A Romance of the Woods,” a very similar piece to the "Wolf,” was acted in a manner to please the most exacting. Tbe costuming was good, the settings well taken and the acting of the several parts a revelation in repertoire work. Only,six characters were used and overy part was strong, casting the proper atmosphere. The climaxes were not over-trained, the situations nicely timed and the dialect good. As a company of players, they surpass anything seen here in a long time, and they are artists, every one of them. Elsewhere in this paper they announce tonight’s feature bill. If the play last night is to be a criterion of the work they do, we heartily recommend them to the theatre-going public of Rensselaer.
