Our Stock Co. Presents “A Texas Raster,” Next Saturday Night.
Messrs. Nielsen and Gano, managers of our Stock Co. take great pleasure in announcing the re-engagement of Mr. Edward Wynn, the. popular leading man of last year’s company. Mr. Wynn will make his first re-appear-ance as Jack Benton in “A Texas Ranger,” by Ernest Stout “A Texas Ranger” is an atmospherical frontier drama In four acts, and the time of action takes place in the early fifties, when the red man and the white were still contenders for the rich lands of the great southwest. The first two- acts are laid near the old San Carlos stage station and show the Indians plotting against the whites The last two are laid around the historical San Carlos trading fort and shows the attack on the fort, its gallant defense by a handful of Uncle Sam’s brave soldiers, and as they are about to be massacreed, owing to a lack of ammunition, they are rescued at the eleventh hour by Jack Benson and his Texas Rangers. Miss Forrester, the charming little leading wopoan, will play Edith Marshall, a little southern girl in love with Jack. Miss Stewart, whose work is always of the highest order, will have one of the principal parts, and will be assisted by Mr. Plhl, the new heavy man, and the entire strength of the company with several new people and a large number of supernumeries In the great battle scene. An entire new scenic production is being built especially for this play. It is being, staged under the personal direction of Mr. George B. Flint, an actor and director of ability, whose addition to the company will be of great importance. A full house is sure to greet the company next Saturday night and reservations can now be made at the regular prices.
