A large audience lit the New The-
ater Sunday; evening witnessed a
splendid presentation of "The Flower
of the .Ranch." JjVhen last this com-
pany was seen here Joe Howard the
author and hip charming wife Mable
Harrison were joint stars. There were
some misgivings that the comedy had
fallen into Inferior hands. While there
is no Mr. Howard or Miss Barrlson in
the cast the. pars- are all taken by
competent people and better still the
dffierent performers be they members
of the chorus or soloists they are not
afraid to work. The comedy as put on
Sundny evening ia moving all the time.
Each performer is full of ginger and
works as though they felt the respons-
ibility of the show rested on their
shoulders. When performers have
such a feeling the entertainment is
bound to be a success.
pears in the part of the school teach- j
jer is a fine looker and a most capable
singer. She was given hearty ap-j
plause and made to respond to several j
encores every time she sang a solo.
Nellie Watters who plays the part of j
"Flower" is a natural born actress- j
She is like a cricket here there and j
everywhere. And while her voice is i
not very strong it is sweet and attrac-1
tive. John E. Frank and Chester ;
Gates each have fine voices and their j
efforts met the approval of the large !
audience as was manifest on each oc-.
casion given.
All told the performance is certainly
a good one and the company is de-'
serving of a liberal patronage. Sioux '

I The first scene of the play repre-
sents the exterior of the Hotel Reg-

iof the principality of "Graustark." The
second and fourth acts occur in the
boudoir of the Princess Yetive while
the third and fifth acts take place in
throne room of the castle. The locale
of the play affords unusual opportun-
ities for the display of rich and gorg-
eous costuming and elaborate scenic
mourtirps which has been taken ad-
vantage of In every possible manner.
"The Flower of the Ranch."
Rollicking with popular music with
excellent choruses and good soloists
exceedingly ludicrous in its comedy
and correct in its costumes the mus-
ical comedy which last night opened
the season at the Grand opera house
drew a full house and created a very
favorable impression.
This production of Mr. Howard's
breathes the air of the far west the
scenes being laid among the homes
and haunts of the cow punchers. What
little there is to story revolves around
an orphaned girl a pretty school
teacher and a handsome young ranch-
er together with a villanous sheriff
and a fight for a valuable deed.
Story however was never meant
to be a chief characteristic of this
comedy. Music and fun are its aim
and with the capable company here
last night it realized both. The music
is especially clever and catchy and
the work of the chorus Is far above the
average. Probably no chorus ever in
Watertown has reached the perfection
of drill displayed on the stage last
night.
Miss Nellie Watters in the title role
plays a difficult part very well. The
untutored yet nevertheless attractive
charming and clever girl creation
seems natural to her. In speech pose
and chic appearance she pleases Im-
mensely. Miss Nordendorf in solo
work drew generous applause as in
fact did all the soloists of the com-
pany. The house appreciated the work of
the company at all times and the en-
cores were demonstrative and not to
be denied. Daily Public Opinion
Abe Marshall of Falrlaud was here
today.
