Albert Taylor at the Opera House.
-----
Monday evening Albert Taylor and his complete and clever company presented a
clever comedy drama, "Peaceful Valley," at the opera house. Quite a large
and appreciative audience was there to cheer and applaud the many good points of
the play and all that were present showed by the way that they applauded the
actress, Miss Kane and the familiar Albert Taylor that they had received a full
compensation for the amount that they were out. It is a good and clean
story, well well (sic) delivered in every particular, one that appeals to the
young men in the way that Hosea Howe loved his mother and to the feminine sex as
a teaching to the many sad cases of the proffered love that so many young men
make to young and innocent women when their love is only cause their downfall.
Mr. Taylor presented the moral side of life in its every form, his original dry
wit added greatly to the performance and with the assistance of Miss Kane, who
presents a striking appearance, it is a good show out and out.
The specialties of Mr. and Mrs. John
McDrevey with their violin and their horn or pipe or whatever you may call it,
were very clever and the writer has never seen anything more original of its
kind on the stage in this city, the dancing of both deserves especial note, it
is worth the price in itself alone. Albert Taylor has for many years had
the reputation of being the best stock man that has ever entered the borders of
the state and as he grows he seems to get better. He has collected
together a good and strong company and they deserve the patronage of any city
that they may appear in.
