The Three Twins" will be the Of
fering at the Gennett, Monday, Oct. 5,
and is said to be one of the smartest
musical comedies that has been pro-
duced in many years. The book is by
Charles Dickson, Lyrics by C. A. Haul
erbach, while Earl Hoschna is respon-
sible for the music. .
The Three Twins" is one of the
largest musical comedies on the road
requiring two baggage cars and three
coaches for the transportation OF the
company. One of the many novelties
is the aerial swing weighing over
1000 pounds and Illuminated with over
1000 incandescent lights. The com
pany carries three machinists, some
thing that never been done before
for the handling of this one effect, and
during it's long run in New York the
Three Tvs" was endorsed by the
entire New FORK press and Mr.. Ash
ton Stevens CT the New York Journa
said, the Three Twins was d credit

when a so-called No. 2 company Is
formed to present in other cities a

would be entirely wrong. Seldom has

one by the organizations to go on

Eastern company tthe one which is

at Reading Monday. Thomas Coffin
Cook as Joe Brooks, gave a remarka-
bly, fine performance. while Agnes
Herndon as the frivolous mother, was
much superior to the woman playing
