NEW ELLIS OPENED WINTER SEASON LAST NIGHT

The New Ellis theatre opened the winter season Friday evening with the “Honolulu Girls,” a musical comedy production in three acts, almost a capacity house greeting the players in what was their initial performance' of ithe season. The offering was well received and Managers Hill and Crooks are assured the continued patronage of the theatre going public so long as their bookings continue to measure up to the standard of last night’s production. “Abe Martin,” a rollicking comedy success with the original cast intact, direct from the English theatre at Indianapolis, after a run of several weeks, will be, here Friday night of next week, and a capacity house is certain to greet the play. Messrs. Hill and Crooks __ have already booked several high class plays and present indications point to a very successful theatrical season here.
