Opens Monday Evening and Will Present “The : Empire” « The blues have no place in the life of today, let us laugh while we may. The struggle for existence, the high pressure race we are running, the social activities and business turmoil, are all calculated to make us a su-per-serious people, and that is why we cry out for something to laugh at. Evidences of this universal demand for lighter things are on every hand. Humanity must have enjoyment, laughter is the only thing that relieves the strenuosity of life at high pressure, and the one panacea for physical and mental depression, and faded spirits. Everybody enjoys a good laugh, and that is why we say that no one should miss the Orpheum Stock company next Monday night, for this company is this season the most foremost of its class. It Is entirely staged for laughing purposes, an dthe old style villain is now a factor to help along the comedy situations instead of the scene eating, raving and “curse the luck’* monotony. This company will open an engagement at the Bosse opera house starting Monday, Aug. 23rd, opening with Howard Hall’s romantic drama “A Soldier of the Empire” one of the strongest bills ever produced by a stock company in your city. They carry all special scenery for each play. Ladies free Monday night with one paid 50c. ticket Seat on sale at the Holthouse Drug store Saturday morning. Prices 20c, 30c and 50c. , o j j Mrs. H. S.
