Manager Hays announces spectacular
melodrama as the style of dramatic d.
version. A matinee performance next
Sunday, May 9Th, will initiate the en-
gagement of A. Y. Pearson's scsnic sem
sation, "The White Squadron. The story
of 1.-THE White Squadron" is one of ro-
mantle interest, locating it's action in the
far away regions of Brazil. For long
time, in that country terrible system OF
brigandage existed and SO bad did it be-
come that Congress of Navies was held
in the harbor of Ri Janerio to protest
against it. The plot of the piece is CEN
tered on this great meeting of war ships
and with view of creating a strong story,
the author conceived the idea Of con-
Meeting some OF the officials of the coun-
try with the numerous robberies. ''The
White Squadron" with its boldness Of
conception, it's intermittent d amatic
strength, it's pictnresqueness and above
all it's strong company, make it work
that should be seen by every student of
the drama.

and thinks that the men had some trou

Conley left for Omaha the next morning
with three other persons, but who they
were has not been learned as yet. The
family is very much alarmed over Mr..
Donnelly's sudden disappearance, for
which no reason can be assigned, as he
