Isl Perkins," the celebrated ru-
raj drama, is billed to appear at the
City opera house on next Tuesday,
January 2S Judging from the fiat
tering notices which the company
has received from the press in the
cities which Isl" has visited, the
prospect for fun on the above date is
good Like all plays of the 'Rube'
! order, Isl Perkins possesses a large
budget of good, wholesome fun; the
Yankee wit is so woven into the dra-
matte lines that the auditor is one
minute laughing with honest hearted
''Si'' and the next his eyes are brim-
ming over with sympathetic tears.
No class of dramatic productions APP
peal So strongly to the heart as those
of the rural order. Every American
is familiar with the Yankee nature.
Shrewd, witt, and honest, he possess
es a charm of personality which is
particularly attractive; and. when
upon the mimic stage we can see his
prototype, it's little wonder that
such pieces as Isl Perkins,, receive a
liberal patronage from American
playgoers. The present company
has for some seven seasons present
ed the play and it goes without say
ing perfect portrayal will be wit
messed.
