The Hoover Stock Co. Draws Large Audiences.

Power of Politics Powers Theatre at Decatur most pleasing since days of Grace Hayward. Packed houses greeted the opening performance of the Hoover Stock Company at the Powers. Every seat ty the house was sold before the doors were opened. The reception accorded the premier performances of the Hoover Stock Co. was an enthusiastic one. Not since the palmy days'of repertoire, when an announcement that Dick Ferris and Grace Hayward would appear at the Powers in repertoire were synonomous with packed houses, has a repertoire show as worthy as the Hoover Stock Co. been seen in Decatur. This company is probably the only worthy successor of the Ferris Comedians or the Grace Hayward Co., recognized a number of years ago as the best organization of the kind on totfr.? : At the Ellis, theatre all next week.
