One of the events of the theatrical
season will be the appearance of I'm |
der Southern Skies at the auditorium /
Wednesday evening. So great has been
the success of this beautiful play |
throughout the East that five entire
seasons have been played there, many |
cities being visited four and five times. !
The play is in the authors most de- !
lightful vein and when 1t is remem-
bered that Mrs. Parker, who wrote I'm
der Southern Skies, also wrote Way /
Down East, much may be expected of |
this, her latest drama. Under Southern |
Skies is full of life, light and galety, |
and fills the audience with the spirit of |
youth and romance. The great beauty |
of the scenic settings, the dainty cos /
tuning. the many amusing and divert |
ing characters and incidents, the abb |
sorbing love story, and the Hallowe zen
celebration and pumpkin dance, all go
TO make Under Southern Skies one of
the most delightful and satisfying en-
tertainments now before the public,
The company is very large, numbering
in all 27 acting people, the unusual
number of II women appearing IN good
parts.
