THE NEW PARKER PLAY.

The new Parker play The Cowboy
Girl is understood to be of the newest
kind of an entertainment and not only
includes a drama that thrills bit at
times, but lots Of real, live comedy that
tickles and the musrical part of the
play is absolutely enjoyable, and so are
the pretty show girls who form a hand
some chorus and assist in the at
tractively arranged ensemble work.
There are seven original song hits in
this play and all were written to
mortice in during the action of the
piece. To say the least Kilroy & Brit
ton have arranged a very original and
attractive style of amusement worthy
of success. The Cowboy Girl" will be
at the Towle opera house three nights
and Saturday matinee commencing
Thursday Oct. 8.
