Henderson’s Great, Show.

A very large audience assembled at the opera house Friday night, to witness the opening performance of the Henderson Comedy Company, whose engagement here was for Friday alsd Saturday evenings and a Saturday afternoop matinee. It is quite a large company, having fully 20 members, and is also a very meritorious one. Among the very best in their lines that ever exhibited here. . : —v_, v * : r Mr. Ogden, the star actor of the company is truly a star, being an actor of unusual ability and of allaround talents. His support is also very satisfactory. Among the specialty oy Variety- features of the performance, the two Japanese jugglers are the great feature, and they are crnckerjacks, indeed, in whom there is no guile. There various tricks and feats are truly marvelous and excited universal wonder and amusement. Other specialty features are the dancing and singing which are also in their way very satisfactory. In the whole performance, dramas, Japs’ juggling, singing and dancing, there are no coarse, vulgar or otherwise objoctionublo features. The company is well provided with scenery, although being primarily intended for large towns and consequently large theater stages, some of it is too large to use to advantage at our opera house.
