Warde and James Coming.

The new Lloyd’s opera house will be opened, as previously announced in this paper, on Monday evening, February 6th. The opening attraction will be Fredrick Warde and Louis James, supported by a very capable company of some 40 players, in Julius Cæsar.

The engagement is for but one night. Every effort was made by Manager Jas. M. Lloyd to secure a second performance, but as the company are billed to appear in Helena after the date in this city, it could not be arranged. They come here direct from Minneapolis, bringing two carloads of scenery for use in addition to the regular equipment of the stage.

Seats for the performance were auctioned this week. Seats remaining unsold after the auction, will be placed on sale at regular prices—giving everybody a chance to attend. The capacity of the house will probably be fully tested, as many people are expected from surrounding towns. The Northern Pacific will sell excursion tickets from all points in the state for the occasion.

Ormsby McHarg returned to his duties at Bismarck this morning. “I will be back in time to hear ‘Julius Cæsar,’ though,” he said."
