1t is always a pleasure to announce
the coming of a Henry w. Savage pro-
duction to this city. Local theater-
goers have learned to appreciate at
fractions heralded under his auspices,
1.-THE College Widow has been seen
here several times before and each
time has played to crowded houses,
and there seems to be just as much
interest in this play now as the first
time it was presented here; in fact
more, because so many have seen 1t
and continue to talk about it, and go
to see it over and over again, and take
others with them; hence, the great
success. 1t may be assumed that "The
College Widow" with some new blood,
will prove as delightful an Offering as
on the occasion of its first visit here.

paraphernalia of production of this
character. Since the Henderson days
many devices have been effectively in
troduced into stage equipment, notable
those produced by electricity. In this
important respect 1.-The Land of Nod
