Fine Attraction Coming.

Speaking. of the .tHans Hansonn
Company, which is booked to appear
at the Gondran Theatre in Donaldson
vile on Thursday, Nov. %, Thanks
giving J, the Paragould lark. Daily
Soliphone says
'sThe Hans Hanson company played
to fairly good-sized audience at the
opera house Saturday night and
proved to be one of the strongest at
fractions that Manager Whitsitt has
presented to Paragould theatre .goers
this season. The bill was constructed
for comedy and a good hearty laugh,
but contains enough pathos to change
the audience from laughter to tears.
Hans Hanson the simple Swedish
youth just arrived, was portrayed in
an excellent manner by Eddie Delaney,
who made distinct hit and who was
supported by one of the best and
most evenly balanced cast of charac-
tiers that ever held the boards at the
local opera house.
"The Hans Hanson company de-
served a packed house and should
they ever play return engagement
in this city they deserve to win the
S. r. o. sign.
''This excellent company carries a
superb band and orchestra. The band
rendered two concerts on the streets,
one Saturday afternoon and the other
til at evening before the perform ance.
The orchestra of ten instruments
treated the audience to an appreciated
musical program and won liberal APP
plause.
Besides these features the company
carries specially workers hard to beat,
especially Lew Wren, a mimic of
great ability, whose whistling capti-
waited the audience.
