EVANS AND soNTAa.


The famous play of Evans and Som
tag was produced last evening at Lib
erty hall, and win be repeated this even
ing. The play is a most exciting one
and excellently constructed, with fine
comedy vein running throughout the
six very interesting acts It has been
reported that the drama is immoral,
but the reverse of this is the truth, for
more truthful story never was por-
trayed upon the stage. or more salu-
tary lesson on the ethics OF right and
wrong ever woven into a drama. The
play must be seen In order to be ap-
preciated and its many excellent fea-
lures understood. The characters are ali
from real life. and Interpreted by
company Of real artists. The incidents
connecting the Southern Pacific with
the train robbery at Coils has caused
that corporation considerable uneasl-
ness, but the matter set forth Is the
truth, as is also every incident In the
exciting careers Of Chris. Evans and
John sontag. Tonight will present the
last opportunity of witnessing the fam
GUS play.
