COMING EVENT!

Kathleen Mavourneen —or—- / St. JPatriclE’e Eve. A Domestielrish Drama in Four Act*. We take pleasure in announcing, that the theatre season in Rensselaer is not over. Lessee and Manager of the Opera House Noble J. York, has made terms and date with our Rensselaer Amateur Dramatie Troupe, to give an entertainment on Thursday evening, May 19. It will no doubt be a source of pleasure to our theatregoers to learn that our home troupe has the able assistance of Walter Owens, who brings with him all necessary paraphernalia for dress-

ing this play. Mr. Owens is a late member of Felix A. i nd-Eva Vincent Dramatic Troupe. The Vincent Troupe have disbanded till fall but we feel safe in saying that the Vincent Troupe will long be remembered by our people and a welcome will await them should they ever again visit Rennsselaer. Our amateur troupe have entered into 1 this play with a zeal that will far surpass any play ever produced by them. They have selected a play that will best please our people and the casts have been made with great care, and with the able assistance of this star actor Owens, together with the talent displayed in the past by our amateurs, we bespeak for our people an entertainment that will be well worthy their

patronage. It is* the desire of the company to reap a harvest sufficient to .enable them to pey off the indebtedness on the organ , purchased by (he temperarci organization. Let everybody feel interested in this undertaking and come. Everybody will be interested to learn that on the evening this play will be produced, ‘'Mother Carey” (Blanche Boroughs) will appear before you in the cant of Kathleen O’Connor ; also Hon. ‘‘Bruce Hunter” (D. 0.
