Camden Opera House Will Have Sev eral High Class Attractions Soon. The management of the Opera House has booked for the remainder of the ?sen won some of the latest New York successes ? in fact cities as large ns Columbia and Charleston are getting no l>etter shows than those booked for Camden. This will be good news to the show lovers of Camden and vicin ity. It seems to be the desire of the management to give Camden the l>est attractions on the road. "Night 011 Broadway" is booked to appear on January 31. The Chicago News had the following to say about this show : "It is an agreeable sur prise, an absolute absence of the fea tures that mar the usual musical show. There isn't one line of suggestive or objectionable comedy." A genuine treat is in store for the theatt-e- goers of Camden is the appear ance on February 17, of Price & Bon nelli's Greats? New York Minstrels, which is said to be the cleverest ag gregation of burnt cork artists on the road to day. The management is to be complimented on securing the con tract for this high class attraction. "Henpecked Henry" booked to ap pear on March 11th, is receiving the praise of every city, in which it is ap pearing. It can be readily seen from the above the Camden Cipera House will soon be the most popular place in town, and the management is sparing no ex pense or effort to make it so.
