"A COUNTRY GIRL" IS GREAT SUCCESS
FUNNY BOOK WoRTHlLY sUs-
TANNED BY REAL ARTISTS.

Its the best ever" was the univer-
sal verdict of those pleased theater
goers who attended the performance
of "a Country Girl at the Keylor
Grand last night And the verdict,
coming as it did from a critical audi
ence, surfeited with the ordinary run
of mediocre light opera, was correct.
There's not punk line in "A Coun-
trv Girl" And there are enough lines
going around to keep the unusually
large number of principals busy from
curtain up to curtain down.
At the beginning the piece did not
appear to take well. Many had gone
to the play house expecting, as usual,
to see an Augustin Daily company one
part performers and three parts stag
ing. In this they were disappointed
as the plot carried gawkish, awkward
1y dressed country louts and gingham
frocked farmers maids all made up
true to the village green.

But it was a disappointment tenn
porary and reactionary. The fun be-
gan instantly; the music came in roll

and admirable rendition and long af-
