They can thereby produce a vaudeville, of high grade in conjunction with the different plays presented. Illustrated songs from the house of Jos. W. Stern & Co., of New York supply’ one unique feature the pictures are in colors and from an artistic standpoint are works of art. The songs are from the pens of well known musical composers and are full of merit. The vaudevile will be refined and will consist of song dance numbers, concerted musical novelties and comedy’ sketches of a wide range. The different members of the company come here with Metropolitan reputations to back them and will make a strong aggregation to handle the different plays in the repertoire.

To get and produce only the best is the criteion which the Chandler-Sturgeon management gain their success and popularity..
