The idyl OF the Arkansas hills, "Hu-
man Hearts" replete with interest
mirth and pathos. will be presented at
the Grand Opera House ON Monday af-
ternoon and night, and no lover of the
drama should fail to attend the per-
Torrance. But few travelling COM
panies carry so much and elaborated
scenery. No expense has been spared
in the effort to make this performance
in every way realistic. One breathes
the atmosphere of the simple farm
life, and ones heart throbs with the
sufferings of the plain country folks,
who engage the attention by their
homely ways and simple nature. The
people of this town and vicinity will
have the opportunity next Monday,
matinee and night, TO laugh away their
cares. and sympathize with sorrow, II
they go to see the very successful play
