Willette Taylor Stock Co. At Ellis Theatre All Next Week.

' The following is taken from the Peru, Ind., Daily Chronicle. This company will play at the Ellis Theatre all next week: The Peru people who attended the performance by the Willette Taylor Stock Company at the Wallace theatre last night were thoroughly entertained by a high-class presentation, and it is well to state that this company, with Cash E. Tomlinson in the principal role as the Thief, was one of unusual merit— more than the average theatre-goer expects to see presented by a stock company. The word “stock,” as used when alluding, to former companies, really has no claim to this company as far as worthiness and ability of the individual members of the company are concerned. The company is away ab6ve the average repertoire company and would ordinarily be playing to more than 10c, 20c and 30c, but the management considers the house well filled at popular prices is better than a half-filled house at prices which, considering the worth of the show, would and should be higher. The play last night “The Girl and the Thief” elicited much favorable comment and the moral of the play was well worked out, interlaced with comedy. Wednesday night a fine melodrama will be presented, entitled “A Confession,” in which Mr. Tomlinson is starred. There is no doubt but what the house will be packed tomorrow night, and the balance of the week to see this stellar company.
