Their Engagement Tonight.

Their Engagement Tonight.
The Una Clayton Company will hold
the boards all of this week, except
tomorrow night. The company is
much stronger than when it was here
last. having added several new
players.
Managerial duties lead through no
primrose path of dalliance," Manager
Morey says. The public is tickle
constantly demanding something new
innovations, novelties. Both Mr.. Mo-
reg and his little star are we'll aware
of this. and to please the public is
their constant effort and desire.
Miss Clayton had already firmly es-
tablished herself in the hearts of the
Southern theater- goers, and her audi
ences were so staunch and true, that
she needed no other attraction to al
lure the people to her performances,
but, believing in the old proverb that
there is no such thing as having too
much of a good thing" Mr.. Morey
decided to go back to the 'palmy day"
plan. and give the public the benefit
of a dual-star attraction. Happily
his selection fell upon the young come
dian. Frank DeLeon, and arrange
ments were agreed upon whereby Miss
Clayton now shares her honors with
Mr.. DeLeon and what Mclean and
Tyler are to the classic drama, Clay
ton and DeLeon are to the modern.
The name of Una Clayton is now a
familiar and popular one throughout
the South and where her success has
been many and emphatic. She is a
petite, magnetic little body-a. sunbeam
of merriment, yet capable of very
strong effective work, as she has more
emphatically demonstrated this season
in her artistic and convincing portrayal
of the characters of Nell Gwynn" and
Cigarette"
Mr.. DeLeon is one of those artists,
with the touch of nature" that makes
the world kin. He is free from con-
ceit, and his friends are legion. For
uniform versatility, magnetism, popu-
larity, Clayton and DeLeon form a
winning team. Their work appeals to
the best taste, and their success is
assured and lasting. Ladies will be
admitted free tonight with every paid
soc ticket. Wednesday night the com
pany will present Nell Gwynn."
Tomorrow night the Augustin DAILY
Company, with Arthur Dunn at the
head, will present "A Runaway Girl"
The success attending this play for
the last two seasons is entirely due
to its own intrinsic merit and to the
lavish style in which it was produced.
The late Mr.. Daily was extremely lib
eral as well as artistic in all his the
atrical productions. "A Runaway Girl
received the benefit of his personal di-
rection and nothing was left undone
that would in any way enhance it's
value or tend towards it's success. The
result is evidenced by the continued
prosperity and popularity of the play
wherever presented. The comedy re-
manned at Days Theater for 300 nights
without intermission, and every city
in the East has accorded the produce
ton unqualified approval and indorse-
ment.
The songs and music Incidental to
the play are said to be catchy and
inspiring. its lyrics bright and witty
and it's comedy humorous and infec-
tious. The play is also said to be
handsomely staged and costumed and,
as the location of the plot is supposed
to be in Venice and Corsica, an OPP
portunity is afforded to display some
rich and picturesque costumes and
scenery.
