The Veriscope pictures of the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons glove contest will be seen at Fer
guson's theatre next Thursday night, Sept

instructive as well as entertaining and seem
TO cater to all classes of people While the

emitting no part of the contest nor detail,
there is nothing about them to offend, and
this fact has been demonstrated by the large
numbcr Of ladies who attend the exhibition.
The prices for the engagement will be within
reach of all, 25, 3d. ana 80 cents.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1897-09-28

Would Shenandoah support frst-class
attractions? is the question often asked by
local theatre-goers. This was demonstrated
last evening when about seventy Shenan-
doahaus attended the performance of THE
Gladiator" at Hersker's theatre, Mahanoy
City This is excluding those who witnessed
the Cameron Ciemons opening performance
at Kaier's which was also an attraction for a
great many from this town. The accomoda-
ious offered by the Mahanoy City theatres is
a strong attraction in itself
