“Arizona Players” Ousted From Monticello Theatre.

Monticello Journal: The vaudeville troupe, advertising themselves as the “Arizona Palyers,” appeared for one consecutive performance at the Mathews theatre last night and then moved on, at the request of Manager Mathews, who refused to inflict the talent on his patrons another night. The acts were sq bad that they were funny and nobody who was there last night can say that he didn’t get his money’s worth, for everybody laughed heartily, not at the comedy, but the attempt to make it comedy. It was so rotten it was good. Manager Mathews said this morning that he had no apology to make. “I was stung the same as other people and that’s all there Is to it.” But it was some show —not.
