If A YLOJVS OPERA HOUSE.

This evening the sensational comedydrama, "Fair Play," will be produced at Naylor's opera bouse, by a capable company, including the comedian, Mr. George Booker, and the lyric actress, Miss Mande Leigh. The play is said to be full of startling climaxes, strong situations and intense human interest, with pleasing and refined specialties interspersed.

There is an attraction to appf ir at the Opera House next Thursdsy night which is entitled to much higher rank than any whieh has visited Terre Haute for along time. Those who have visited New York City during the past two years, cannot have failed to hear of Mr. E. H. Sothern, who last year played the comedy of "The Highest Bidder" st the Lyceum Theatre, snd this year produced the new comedy "Lord Cbumley" with the greatest success which hss been known in that city for years. The son of an emi nent father who delighted a past generation with his unrivalled impersonation of "Lord Dundreary," the younger Sotb ern has marked out a line for himself, and in the comedy of "Lord Chuuiley has already, while a young man, taken rank equal to his father. Terre Haute is fortunate in being in the direct line to St. Louis, otherwise it could not have secured this noted attraction, which will not play a single night in any other city in the United States. Mr. Sothern has been unanimously endorsed by the New York press as the leading comedian of the present day, and has been surrounded for this tour with a most excellent company, the same as appeared with him in the Lyceum Theatre, New York. The original scenery is also brought here. The action of the play abounds in laughable situations, alternating with scenes of great power. The first three nights of the week are at Indianapolis, where already the sale of seats is so large as to ensure the crowding of the Grand Opera House in that city to overflowing throughout the engagement. There is no room for doubt that this will be the most worthy attraction to be seen here this season.

On Friday evening the latest and most successful musical farce comedy, "Natural Gas," will be presented. It is the work of H. rat tan Donnely. The story is simple but decidedly effective. Christopher Bluff, a dealer in Natural Gas stock in the gas belt, has in his employ an interesting and loquacious Janltress, Kitty Malone, and a piquant and rather pert assistant, Jimpassisted by three beautiful type

The fact that Miss Malone trios to outdo society in society style, furnishes a theme on which thore Is unlimited fun in the next acts.

It is fun first, fun second, fun all the time, and the Donnelly and Glrard, art- seen to the best advantage.
