It will no doubt, be a matter of interest to local theatre goers to Ibarn that Mr. Frederick Gordon’s stock company which enjoyed such excellent patronage here last season is to return on Saturday evening, January 27. The plan will be the same as last year, the company returning on the same night of each week with a different play. None but plays of the higher order will be presented at any time during the engagement. Thik is and earnest endeavor on the part of the local theatre managers and Mr. Gordon, cooperating with one another to give the public in the towns of the northern Indiana circuit a really excellent brand of-theatrical amusement and to uphold a standard of good performances of first-class plays at low prices. “ The company has been very carefully chosen and, will include none but thoroughly experienced and competent stock-factors. ' The play chosen for the first offering is a dramatization of the widely read novel by Marie Corelli, “Thelma.” This piece offers many opportunities for fine acting, has a strong and intensely interesting story which never fails in its appeal and also presents the chance so seldom seized by companies playing the smaller towns and cities, of a beautiful scenic and electrical mounting. Mr. Gordon has spent several months in preparing the light effects for this drama. In order that the attraction may be seen and appreciated by a large public, the local management of each theatre, on the circuit have greed to guarantee a complete sell out All those who wish to patronize the attraction will assist by reserving their seats as early as possible. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents.
