“Mr. James E. Hayes, the manager of the Olympic Theatre, has been very sick for a week with brain fever, but at last accounts he had slightly improved.”
No performance Friday evening because of the death of manager Hayes.
“The Olympic Theatre will be closed this evening out of respect to the memory of Mr. Hayes, the deceased manager, whose funeral takes place at four o’clock. Mr. Hayes was greatly beloved by all the people connected with his theatre, and his death has touched the hearts of all with whom he came in contact, especially those who were associated with him many years in business.”
“Americus, the infant violinist, is nightly encored, as also is Mme. Charlotte Winterburn, one of the best ballad-singers. The singing of the Russian quartette is very commendable, and the acting of G. L. Fox is as enjoyable as ever.”
