The Daily Statesman-25c per month
At Orpheum Tonight.

THE Rose of Tennessee at the Or
pheum tonight is one of the cleverest
bills the versatile Streeter- Bryan COM
pany has yet produced. It is a beau
tiful melodrama, the scene of which is
laid in the southern state. 1t is true
to life and full of heart interest. Miss
Bryan appears to advantage in her
role in this play and Mr.. Streeter
makes his usual big hit with the audi
ence. The moving pictures being put
on between acts tonight are the most
beautiful ever seen in the city, without
exception. The search of an old man
for youth is as eloquently portrayed as
if on the stage G-d it alone is worth
the admission.
