Stock Company Again With Us—Delor? Pleased Audience.

The theatrical stock company reorganized since last year, gave its initial performance at the Ellis Theatre Tuesday evening to a fair sized audience. The play was “Dolores,” a pretty western drama to which the audience seemed to take from the rise of the curtain and which held their interest until the end. The scenic equipment was unusually fine. Miss Jessie Stewart, who was one of the favorites last year, is again with the company. The name selected last year, “Our Stock C 0.,” will again be used, although the correct name is the Gano-Mei 1 scm 00., the -senior member of the company being Mr. Ralph Gano, who made many friends here last year. The company will play About the same circuit it did last year, which included Lowell, Kentland and Monticello. Miss Forrester in the title .role, “Dolores,” pleased everyone who saw her and it seems that she is sure to become an idol, around the entire circuit travelled by the company. Mrs. 'Forrester will play Vere Herbert in “Moths” tonight. Other members of the cast are strong and Mr. Gano will doubtless enjoy a fine season with his ■excellent company. Tonight and tomorrow night they will be at the Ellis again. The bill tonight is “Moths,” a dramatization of Ouida’s famous novel. It is a society drama that should appeal especially to an intelligent audience. Tomorrow night a comedy-drama will be played.
