"A RUNAWAY GIRL"

Considerable interest has been mani
tested by the better class OF theatre-go-
ers. I'm the forthcoming engagement Of
the Augustin DAILY company In the pro-
duction OF the popular musical comedy
success, "A Runaway Girl" This charm
ing play will begin three nights en-
gagement next Thursday at the Provi-
dence Opera House. A matinee perform
ance will also be given on Saturday.
Wherever this comedy has been pre-
sented IL has invariably met with every
mark of warm approval and Endorsement
Of the large audiences that constantly at
tend the production.
The play itself IL full of life and action.
the songs contained therein are tuneful
and catchy, the dances and marches are
pretty and lively aud the lyrics and dia-
logue both bright and witty.
When one takes into consideration the
many varied features OF necessity con-
tained In musical comedy, aud the ex-
treme difficulty experienced In success
fully presenting "A thoroughly harmonious
production. one. can very readily appre-
ciate the significance attached TO the con-
tinued prosperity and life attending "A

mained for three years without interrupt
ton. and again at Days Theatre I'm New
York, where IL continued for period OF

reer has been one of uninterrupted sue
cess. fN
