A Genuine Comedy Noveltv

Without question, "Ole Olson )"
the new Swedish dialect play, has been
one of the greatest successes ever known
to the American stage. IL comes 10
Lighthouse theater tomorrow evening
with a powerfully strong east, and will
undoubtedly prove one Of the strongest
attractions Of the season. Inasmuch as
the dialect Of the stolid and impurturb-
able Swede is both novel and funny,
and as the incidents of the play are
both hilarious and exciting, and as the
piece is presented by the best farce
comedy company now travelling, there
is little doubt but that our playgoers
will watch for the date Of the perform
ance.
