The Ono Terrlble Turk match will be the first of many such contests to take place this fall. ' About $25 was spent In arranging the wrestling bout for next Friday and nothing that will tend to make the first attraction a howling success will be left undone. Bt" STER BHOWN YESTERDAY. The Inimitable Buster Pleases Two Good Audiences tiave General Sat isfaction A Strong Company. "Buster Brown," Mellvllle B. . Ray mond's cartoon comedy, was the at traction at the opera house yesterday, matinee and night. There was a very representative audience at both at tractions. The opera house of Charlotte will probably not see another show here during the season that will give such general satisfaction and delight. It was a grand success and Master Ga briel, as "Buster Brown," Is a wonder. He Is twenty-two years old, twenty even Inches tall and weighs thirty-six pounds. As he appears on the stage In his role he looks not more than six. .The-play opens with the appearance of a-troupo of Jolly, rollicking girls and boys In a chorus, followed by some clever little love songs. Buster and his chum, Tige. came in early in the programme and kept the audience laughing throughout the entertain ment. The scene of the first act Is one on the lawn at Buster's home. His grand mother arrives on a visit and is not much wanted there by Buster's father. The latter otters him $5 to get rid of her. Buster and his dog, Tige, accept the offer and begin to work on the un dertaking. Thty make her stay miser able for her until she finally decides to depart. Buster proved himself equal to all emergencies and executed bis ulans In n. direct and decisive manner. He was loyal to Tige and could always count on him doing his part In all undertakings, as a body guard or planner. Kvery word that Buster spoke or every move that he made provoked laughter. As an enter tainer he Is inimitable. While Buster was the star, there were many other features that were highly Interesting. The chorus girls were clever and enjoyable. The danc ing and drills proved very popular. A Scotch drill, given by beautiful, cos tumed girls, was especially attractive. The audience showed its appreciation by applauding and recalling on sev cral numbers. Several local hits were made during the evening that ellcitated boisterous laughter. One was1 When the Browns' cook left the stage saying ' he was going to Cray's to get some medicine for th cook. Those' who did not attend the show yesterday missed a treat of genuine amusement.
