"Old Dairy Homestead. 1.-THE announce.
ment that the company is made up o.
home talent would be sufficient to crowd
the house, but when it is the "0ld
Dairy Homestead" that the people are
going to see, the chances for seats will
be slim unless reservations are made
early.
This is the play which so delighted
everyone last spring. The cast of char.
acters has been strengthened since then
and purchasers of tickets are further
assured OF getting more than their mon
ey's worth by the fact that Jimmy De-
Bord has charge of the staging. jim
mie doesn't have his jokes manufactured
to order. His humor is spontaneous,
and the man who isn't made to laugh
until his sides ache, should have his
money refunded by the doorkeeper.
But Jimmy won't be all there is to
see, as reference to the cast of characters
will show. Besides strong personnel,
the stage settings are to be something
very realistic. In the first act real live
cows, pigs and chickens and other ami
mails may be seen on the stage. The
ghost scene threatens to convince the
most skeptical, while the dancing spe.
calties will be more pleasing than ever.
The X. OF P. Dramatic club consists
of G. E. Markham, James DeBord, Frank
Davidson, Maltie Dukes, and George T.
Prather who are the lessees of the
opera house for two years. These gen.
tlemen have arranged to give shows
