ATTRACTIONS AT VALENTINE

Alice Fischer, the comedienne of
large stature and an equally large
ability in producing laughter, presents
her new play "The School for Hus-
bands" at the Valentine theatre, To
ledo, Ohio, Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 3lst and November 1st.
When she created such sensation a
few seasons ago by her irresistible
comedy effect in the farce "Mrs.
Jack" it was generally commented
upon that she had breezy, infectious,
gay and humorous manner all her own.
This she is said to make use of to it's
full extent in the new comedy she is
playing this year. Her part, as the
title suggests, is that of a husband
tanning matron and the host of comic
results she contrives can easily be i'm
agined, when her achievements in
"Mrs. Jack" is kept In mind.
