WEEK OF STOCK AT THE ELLIS THEATRE

Bobby Robbins Company Opens at Ellis Monday Night and Will Be Here All Week. Manager Ellis of the Ellis Theater has returned contracts calling for the appearance of the Miss Bobby Robbins Co, at his playhouse for six nights and one matinee, starting next Monday night. Mr. Ellis considers himself very fortunate in securing this attraction, as they carry twelve people and are playing only the larger cities of this state. They go from here directly to the Dreyfus Theatre in Lafayette for a two weeks’ engagement. The company is quite an innovation in the repertoire business as they have the only real combination attraction in this part of the country. Five big feature vaudeville specialties are given every night in addition to the dramatic production, hulking a continuous performance. Some of the plays to be presented here are “Wife in Name Only,” the opening play; “A Southern Romance,” “The Wolf,” “The Price She Paid,” a dramatization of the popular novel; “In the Call of the Woods,” presented for the first time in Indianapolis recently; “The Little Christian,” and “The Idlers,” a big 4-act comedy drama. Ladies will be admitted free Monday night if accompanied by a paid thirtycent ticket. This means the best seats. The prices for this- company will not be raised here, but will remain the same as in cities of many thousand—loc, 20c and 30c. The seat sale starts Friday at the theatre.
