Just a short review and I have yet to determine the location of this
venue.  The ad clippings show quite clearly that they were at The Grand
Opera House and not the Wieting Opera House.

The Syracuse Standard, Friday Morning, December 5, 1884

At the Opera House

An Innocent and His Partner.

Samuel H. Clemens [sic] (Mark Twain) and George W. Cable, who appeared
at the Grand last evening in readings, proved themselves a combination
fully equal to entertaining an audience, each in his own particular way.
While Mark Twain has a wonderfully happy way of telling his unequalled
[sic] humorous stories, Mr. Cable throws into his readings a versatility
of talent which is necessarily pleasing.  He displays an excellent
command of five different and difficult dialects and coupled with this
sings with a musical voice many of the Creole songs the words of which
mark his popular novels.  They were intently listened to by a large and
appreciative audience.
