The Miles Ideal Stock Company arrived in
town this morning and will open a weeks
engagement at Ferguson's theatre tonight,
presenting as the opening piece Michael
Strogoff." The company is headed by the
brilliant young actor, John +. Miles, whose
work in every character assumed shows care,
full and conscienteous study. His support,
without exception, is superb. Surrounding a
good star by excellent people is quite a
departure from popular price attractions, yet
it has been proven wise by the success that
has attended this company, who throughout
their initial tour have met with success far
beyond those whose names have boon as.
ISOLATED with repertoire for season after
season. The HERALD is emphatic in saying
that this is the best repertoire company on
the road. We have watched the press notices
and everywhere they appear they receive
fsttering notices. The comedy element is
sustained to perfection by Jack Turner and
Eva Williams. In fact, every member OF
tho company is an artist of the first rank
The theatre should be packed during the
present woek.
