The Kilfoil Stock Company comes to the Ellis’ opera house for a three nights stay beginning Thursday, Sept. 13, with a matinee Sept. 15. This is one of the largest repertoire companies on the road.earrying a band and orchestra, and already there has been quite a demand for seats for the opening night. The prices for the engagement will be 10, 20 and 30 cents and on Thursday night, Sept. 13, ladies will be admitted free when accompanied by a paid thirty cent ticket providing it is reserved before 6 p. m. The necessity of securing your seats early for Michael Strogoff which will be presented the first night, is urged by the management as the theatre is ' expected to bo crowded. The company’s band will parade at noon Thursday and will give an open air concert in front of the theatre each evening. The specialties, introduced between acts, are six in number and represent the best talent in the vaudeville profession. Little Olivette, who heads the list, has well earned the title, “America’s Peerless Child Entertainer,’’ for she certainly stands at the head of all juvenile entertainers. Though only nine years of age, she has been for five seasons before tho public and is a well known favorite in tho vaudeville houses of the large cities. She has a most remarkable baritone voice, deep, strong and mellow, and it seems strange that a body so small could contain such a volume of tone and such an abundance of music. She has a most expressive face, a remarkable appreciation for comedy and is in every way one of the most charming little ladies on the stage.
