"Prince Pro Tem."

That dellghtful and popular musical fantasie, "Prince Pro Tem," comes to the Moise Opera house next Friday even- ing. It hax met with great favor from Boston play goeis, the opera being full of bright dialogue, plenty of diverting incidents und an abundance of pleasing music. The songs su numerous and of ho catchy a nature would of themselves carry to success a minch inferior opera. That Mr. Packard has got together an organization fully qualified to do justice to both author and composer in a testi- monial to his managerial ability and good judgment, and that they work together in perfect harmony for the success of the opera is an evidence of his tact and discipline. "The parts are so well bal- anced one agajust another that undue prominence is scarcely attuinahle, aud wlille many individual hits are made they are not achieved at the expense of others. Everywhere the opera has been presented the audiences have shown every evidence of enjoyment, keeping up a running accompaniment of applause and laughter and calling for the repeli. tion of The many songs and choruses to an extent that has deferred the final fall of the curtain to a late hour nightly.

"No establishment can loug cuntinte to do business on the strength of former prominence," says a persistent newspa- per advertiser.
