Gordon’s New Stock Company Better Than Ever.

F. S. Gordon presented his new stock company at Ellis Theatre last Saturday night in the drama “Thelma” by Marie Corelli and it is but fair to state that his company is,, if anything better' than the one which played the circuit so successfully last season. The performance given here was an excellent one, every member of the cast showing to good advantage and giving promise of some treats in the amusement line from now on.

The play to be given here this week on Saturday night is “Mr. Raffles, the Cracksman,” a dramatization of the well known novel of. the same name. Thl? drama is one of intense interest and is one of the high class plays which Mr. Gordon is to offer the theatrepatrons of this town during the winter. The story of "Raffles” concerns a clever and educated thief who is a member of the social set in Lon-i don, and a detective who matches bis wits against the thief. The interest is said to be tense from the. rise of the first to the fall of the last curtain. ' , Prices will remain the same, 25c, 35c, and 50c.
