Brown's in Town at Grand Opera House Review
A small audience enjoyed Brown's in Town at the Grand Opera House. The farce pleases with bright specialties and clever performances by Maud True Knowlton as Letty Jessie Mae Hall as a soubrette and Fannie Midgely as the cook. Charles Horn impresses as Abel Preston though George Welch as Dick Preston weakens with mis-timed smiles.
