a charm to arouse the enthusiasm and
compel the admiration of the play
going public all the world over. wher-
ever its presence is announced for per-
torrance. Now, in it's fourth season.
and its story and characters, its Won
derfully contrasted episodes of love and
war; upon which it's stirring events
are based, it is being played in thea
ter after theater TO crowded houses.
Its second visit to our city is an
nounced to occur Thursday night at
the Lyceum and the evidence that It
will be welcomed by one of the largest
and most notable audiences of the sea-
son is plainly apparent in the already
numerous demands for seats in .ad-
vance.
