A fair sized audience was at Morgan's opera house Friday evening too witness the opening of the house by the Midnight Alarm Company. They were all well pleased at the neatness of the room, the handsome drop curtain and the beautiful scenery. The play was a decided success. It was certainly the best company that every appeared before a Canonsburg audience. There was not a weak character in the cast. Before the last act the manager of the company announced that the reason they did not have their regular costumes and special scenery was that they could not get it past Bellaire, Ohio, on account of flood. He said that the stage was plenty large to put everything they had on it, and that it was better than two-thirds of the stages throughout the country and that any first-class company could play on it with comfort.
Frank Davidson's company played at the Coliseum Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Davidson is well liked here and always gives satisfaction. He was supported by a good company.
The Coliseum will be remodeled and fitted up in fine style. The floor will be raised and regular opera chairs put in. Work has been commenced on a gallery.
Saturday evening Miss Lillian Burkhart appeared at Morgan's opera house under the auspices of the Jr. O.U.A.M., of this place. Miss Burkhart is one of the finest elocutionists in this country and she fully sustained her reputation here Saturday evening. She was heartily encored, but owing to the length other part of the program she did it respond. The material for the pantomime did not arrive and six tableaux's were given in its place.
