"Thelma.''

On Friday, February Goth, the at.
traction at the Butler Opera House
will be Alden Benedict's clever acting
company in Chase's dramatized yer
sion OF Marie Corelli's novel "Thel-
ma" The play is said to be well
adapted and TO closely follow the
original story, which, while some.
what out OF the ordinary in plot, has
love for it's chief theme and is inter-
spersed with bits of detail and by
play that go to make stagecraft 30
pleasing. OF all Miss Corelli's novels
"Thelma" offers, possibly, the most
material for dramatization, it is GER
tainly strong in dramatic interest
and power and the play should CON-
mand the undivided attention of the
audience from beginning to end.
