THE BEST ONE YET.
Raymond Teal Company Is Premier
Musical Show Yet Seen at the
AirdOme.

Hot Springs News.
The Raymond Teal Musical Com
edy Company played last night at the
Aridome theatre in ''Too Rich Too
Marry" The largest audience of the
season saw the presentation of the
best musical comedies at the summer
theatre.
The passing of the play was one
continuous roar of applause for the
song and chorus and specialties in
trOduced. The jokes were all crispy
and snappy, and came so fast that
one was bewildered with the. dazzling
newness.
And the Orpheus Quartette, the ap-
preciative audience was loath to part
with this splendid quartette and they
responded to repeated encores with
splashes of comedy, pathos, a pot
pourri OF sentiment, burlesque and
mock tragedy, intermingled with
songs. One of the delightful spots in
the Olio was the ring work of Miss
REIN. Raymond Teal, the merry
minstrel, entertained the big happy
audience with some black face speci-
alties that were a whirlwind of bright
and breezy things. All together it is
the best show that has ever played the
AirdOme, and very few better shows
have played the Auditorium. Jeffer-
son Theatre Wednesday, Oct. 30.
