GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The famous and popular story "Uncle Tom's Cabin," in its play form, has been drawing good audiences at, the Grand Opera House, and its last performance by the George Willoughby Dramatic Company will be given, this evening. The next play to be staged will be one of a very different nature. "At Cripple Creek" sets forth in four acts, all full of interest, the happenings on an American goldfield of the early days. The atory is of an interesting type, and the play by no means lacks thrills. The most stirring situatioh i» that in which the child, "Little Tattoo," is rescued by an Indian, who hangs by a wild giant grape vine down the side of a rocky gulch and catches her in his arms as he swings. The scenery is striking and elaborate. Mi*. Cyril Mackay plays Joe Mayfield, who found the gold at Cripple Creek; and Miss Nellie Fergusson appears as "Dynamite Ann." Opportu* liity is afforded during the play for the Era Comedy Four,, the Jubilee Singers, and the National Duo to give songs, ragtime ditlies, dancee, and plantation melodies.
