Huse N. Morgan's Comedy Company which he has just organized and which has been giving a series of entertainments here this week, is away up in artistic ability. There is not a stick in the company, and the plays run along as smoothly as if the company had been playing together for months. Huse has met a success this time and the company should be a drawer wherever it plays. The new scenery, painted expressly for this company, is good and the stage properties are appropriate and well managed. Success to Huse N. Morgan, Sidney's talented actor and his splendid company. The Huse N. Morgan Comedy Company after closing here will play CARSON on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 4th, 5th and 6th of September. Then to
RANDOLPH on the 7th, 8th and 9th. They will arrive in Randolph on the evening train, which will give them time to arrange for their performance. There, they will produce for the FIRST TIME their celebrated comedy entitled "THE PHOENIX", also new and original specialties by Mr. Gus Rapier, Sam Murdy, M. L. DeForrest, Jennie Rapier, Little Tressie and others. A laughable farce after each drama. We will add that this company has the best cast of characters that has ever visited this place and worthy of patronage wherever they give a performance.
