IRE Missouri Girl.

The Missouri Girl, which will be
presented al the Brooks Theatre is. "a
decided departure from the usual
style Of comedy drama and is marked
by novelty in construction and re-
markable magnifcence in mounting.
The characters are peculiar in the ex-
treme. Nothing like them has ever
been seen in any other play, most OF
which have beer copied from life.
Mr.. Raymond, the author, spent the
greater part of one summer studying
character in southwest Missouri and
after selecting some strong types, he
has woven them into plot that is
surprisingly natural. The character
Of Zeke Dobson, the Yankee boy, who
"came out west to make his fortune.
is acknowledged to be the most
unique and laughable of any ever seen
