Brown’s Comedy Company

Is now filling a four night’s engagement at the Opera House. To illustrate the tenor of the press notices of the company we append two or three condensed extracts.

Frankfort Daily Crescent: Brown’s Comedy Company played Little Lord Fauntleroy at the Coulter Opera House to a large and appreciative audience —this was the first production of this popular play in this city and it was well rendered. Of course the main interest of the play centers about the Little Lord, and Little Gertie Ewing played the very difficult role with an ease and grace that was really charming. He was well supported'by the rest of the com pony.

Painesville Journal: Brown’s'Cohi«dy Company will close a most successful two week’s engagement at the Excelsior rink' to-night, when they will appear in the ever popular drama, “The French Spy.” They have been greeted by crowded houses throughout their stay and a handsome sum has been realized for the band fund. Since their arrival in the city Mr. Brown and the members of his company have made many warm friends, who will be only too glad to have them come again.
