AMUSEMENTS

OPERA HOUSE. Rex, the King of Wild Horses, will be seen in “The Devil Horse’’ Co-night. “The Devil Horse’’ is a drama inspired by the history of the crimson trails of the pioneer west. From the wrath of the slaying steed the Indians prayed to their gods for deliverance. Strange, terrible tales they told of a great black horse whose hoofs dealt death to the redskins. In their superstitious was a supernautral animal —tremendous in size, snorting fire, fleet'of foot, as terrifying as lightning —a Devil Horse ! But,, to a girl who was captured by the Indians, to the man who loved her, to the white men and women fighting valiantly in the Indian attack on their fort, and to' Lady, his mate, the Devil Horse was a hero horse.
