West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1902-02-06

We believe we have mentioned the
fact before, that tonight at the Au-
ditorium will be produced In this
city for the first time the great
comic drama, David Garrick.
We don't know whether it Is COM
ic or dramatic or not, but that's
what we will call 1t. It's guaran-
teed to be funny, and 1t will be, or
we will refund you your money.
This play Is given under the au
spices of the graduating class of
1902 of the Sistersville High School,
about seventeen young ladies and
blushing young gentlemen, who,
in May next, will read an essay or
spoke speech, receive diploma
and will never again enter our city
school as pupils. 1t has been the
worthy custom for each graduating
class to deposit something of sub
stantial nature with the school as
a memorial that they have gradu-
uated therefrom. The proceeds OF
the sale of tickets tonight, after
paying all the expenses, will be
expended by the class of 'o2 for
something to be used In the school
for the benefit of the children who
viii attend after the 'o2 class
are married or dead. So every
person buying a ticket is simply
helping along our free school and
besides all OF that is getting value
received and more too. Being a
Democrat we never lie. We there.
fore desire to assure our readers
that the play tonight will be away
ahead of any dollar show that ever
visited our city. You will be high
ly entertained and amused and a
good laugh is the best thing In the
world to indulge In this season of
the year. 1t prevents grip, sore
throat, bunions, corns, toothache
and about every kind of an
ache known to live oil city. We
hope Our people will turn out en-
masse. Let's crowd the Audito-
rum, until the class of 'o2 will cry,

This Is not from Shakespeare. We
ought to do this. We have the
best public school In the State.
Prof. Hess is improving the school
every day. Itstimulates him to do
better work when the public pat
ronize and attend the entertain
ments given by his children at
school. We want good schools
here. We want better schools than
we have now and we cannot push
this matter along any better than
by turning out tonight. The chill
dren have worked hard and patient

will have success, but let's make 1t
a "corker." Let the crowd tonight
be such an audience In point OF
numbers and culture as has
never before gathered In the Audi
forum.
