Good Sized Audience Were Pleased With Missouri Girl

“The Missouri Girl,” a four-act drama that also has a streak of excellent comedy running through it, was very ably presented at the Ellis theatre Tuesday night by Merle H. Norton’s company. Fred Raymond, who wrote the play and starred as “Zeke” for many years, was here with the company and played the part of Colonel Sweatnam in a very excellent manner. Dorothy Vaughn as the Missouri girl, played the part in a very natural manner, quite free from the unnatural poses to which so many soubrettes are given. Ed Mack was an excellent Zeke. Bernard Vine, as Phil. Sweatnam, carried the heavy role very gracefully. The specialties were clever. ,
