TheT Lester Comedy Co. are playing to good houses at the opera house this week. We can truly say that this is the best repertiore company thet has ever visited our city. Each member is a rare artist. On Monday night “The noble outcast” was presented, Mr. Francis Owen played the part of “Jerry the tramp” to perfection, and he has made many friends by his clever acting. Miss Minnie Hoffman played the part of “Nana” in a very painstaking manner. Helen G. Sanford, who played the part of, “Mrs. Lee” is also worthy of mention as she is an able actress. Harry Lester as the villian played h’s part so well that he gained the hatred of the entire audience. Last night was presented “Vendetta.” Francis Owen, who played the part of the wronged husband, and Helen Sanford, who played the false wife, were the principal characters in the l>lay and the entire performances rested upon their shoulders. The parts were carried out to the entire satisfaction of the audience. Harry Lester appeared as the polished villian, and as usual played his part to perfection. To-night the company will present “True Irish i Hearts.” Give them a good ; house as they are deserving of i your patronage.—Kentland EnI terprise.
