“A Pair of Country Kids.”

Each year new plays are presented to the theatre-going public and the percentage of successes are few and the wise manager who can pick a winner these strenuous days of hustling is to be congratulated. Manager Ellis Is to be congratulated ~in the success of “The Country Kids” for it ranks among last season’s biggest successes. The play is really one of the best of its class and has proven just what the public wants —lots of fun, elegant scenery, a pleasing story and enough sensation to give it real life and color. One of the principal factors of the success has been the superb company selected to give it the naturalness and life-like portrayal of plays of this class. Actors who look and can act the parts assigned them and no caricatures, but the real rural folks we see on the farm. “A Pair of Country Kids” will appear at the Ellis Theatre, Friday, August 30.
