Olympia Opera Co. With Thirty
Five People February End.

Several frst-class theatrical attrac-
lions are already promised for the en-
|joymunt of I.owistown people and
thrig uoighhors during the winter sea
son and The probability Is that a half
dozen or more good troupes will APP
pear in the new opera house before
spring.
The clort IN obtain Janice Mere
dith by the NELL Morosco Co. for Jan
uary 18th, for which a $500 guarantee
was required. was entirely successful.
There was generous response TO the
request for "A guarantee and after on
ly a partial canvass OF the well known
theatre goors Mr.. Culver was so well
pleased that he photographed the cir
cult manager acceptance of the terms.
At this time all but five or six OF the
81 scats-thc first six rows-are TAX
en-. as well as - per cent OF the sue
cceding eight r~0ws-sl.50 seats-and
q big house is assured. For some rea.
son the date has now been changed
TO January 2lSt-one week earlier
but as this Is believed to be- entirely
satisfactory 10 all. tho contract has
been closed. Those wishing to obtain
a first choice ol seats mag still have
reservations made hy subscribing to
the guarantee list, which will be- at
the Argus onic" for some time.
The Redmond Stock company,
which has been playing from Nebras.
ka northwest and will be in Butte for
a week beginning next Monday. has
been booked for Lewistown one week,
beginning December 18th. This Is a
large and popular company and comes
well recommended. but IL is likely
that the engagement will be limited
to three days.
The Livingston Post says: The
company Is a very good n n pleas
ed the audience at every perform
ance.' and the Livingston Enterprise
of the 2lsI said; The Ed. Redmond
company began a return engagement
in this city Thursday night, the pre-
scntation being The Lighthouse Rob
berry. The house was not as large
as the play justified. but will doubt
less be larger on the succeeding per-
formancos. The company is good, the
specialties are f~rstclass and those
who attend will find that the plays
presented are well worth the price of
admission
1t is stated that the company pre-
sents a very good repertoire and IL is
presumed popular prices will prevail.
The program. prices, etc, will be an
nuunCcd next week.
When Janice Meredith was secur-
ed. MCssrs. Culver q Culver and the
assisting committee felt confident that
the raising of the $500 g%uarante" re-
quired would result in the booking of
some other of the best attractions
playing I'm the northwest and were
consequently not altogether surprised,
though assurcdly pleased, when word
came To hold for the Olympia Opera
Co. February 2nd, 3rd and 18th. This
is a good sized company of thirty-five
people and will give a change of OPP
era each night and should do an enor-
nous business"
The Olympia company is composed
of tup.notchers and while some may
think l.ewistown is flying pretty
high TO obtain such superior attrac-
tions. those who have the arrange
ments in hand feel certain that the
circuit manager will not be in the
least disappointed with Lewistown az.

Abundance of time is permitted for

as well as the Olympia Opera com.
pany engagements. hut it is well to
bear the dates in mind and obtain
seats at the first opportunity. The

likely TO be hung out at both Of these
engagements.
