RHODE OPERA HOUSE
Attractions That Are Being Billed for
Next Week
BILLY THE KID" NOV. 20.


Next Week
BILLY THE KID NOV. 20.
In the new melodramatic produc-
ton, "Billy the Kid" the popular
young actor, Leroy Sumner, has
part which is just suited to his re-
qu;rements. 1t is said to give him
splendid opportunities for the heroic
poses which the patrons of melodrama
demand as well as some delightful
love scenes. The story of Chilly the,
Kid" begins and ends out in New
Mexico. It is said to be we'll told and
powerful and also TO be atmospheric
to very marked degree. The pro-
duction which is carried by the COM
pany in its entirety is reported to be
an elaborate one. There are four acts
in the play. Young Sumner is to
present BILLY the Kid" at the Rhode
opera house Wednesday, Nov. 20.
LENA RIVERS NOV. %
elena Rivers" a dramatization of
the we'll known and widely read book
by Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, will be pre-
sented at the Rhode opera house Fri
day evening, Nov. p, under the direc.
ton of Burt & Nicolai. The produc-
ton will be the same as that which
ropolitan runs, and the cast will be
of uncommon strength. Mrs. Holmes
book was presented to the public over
fifty years ago. It's success was I'M
mediate, and each succeeding gener-
aticn has read the story and laughed
at its peculiar comedy and cried with
sym pathy at its pathos. The play
has been so dranatzed that it ad
heres very closely to the story as
woven by Mrs. Holmes. The play is
divided into four acts-one located at
Slocumville, Mass, and the last three
in the South. Much of the charm of
the book lay in the c1everness with
which the characters were drawn and
IN the atmosphere surrounding the
scenes, and the adapters were careful
to retain in the play all these things
which made the book such interest
ing reading. Miss Poynter's por-
trayal of elena Rivers" is described
as being exceedingly artistic. It is no
exag operation to say that it would be
difficult to find another actress capa-
bic of giving the character the
touches with which she rounds out
her portrayal of the pretty little miss.
PAINTING THE TOWN" COMING SOON.

Ya1e's painting the Town" would
