A FIRST-CLASS ATTRACTION
Will Hold Boards at Davis for Rest
of the Week.

one OF the finest attractions ever
seen at the Davis theater begins a
three days engagement this afternoon.
We have reference to the FAY Foster
EXTRAVAGANZA company, which is one
OF the largest and conceded to be one
of the best of its kind extant.
The entertainment offered is different
from the general run. Beautiful seem
cry gorgeous costumes, pretty girls,
witty comedians and an unexcelled
company will serve to make the rest
of the week one of the events of the
season at Mr.. Davis cozy house. Much
could be said regarding the excellent
programme offered by the Fay Foster
company, but the best way to judge
is to see the show.
