The Allen Curtis Comedy Compa-

utation in this section of the coun-
try, will be here with us next Thurs
day, January 16, for three nights, in
the funniest of all musical plays, ia
key, Mikey and Ikey," "A New York
Girl" and "A Jolly Widow" The
company numbers 25 people, headed
with that clever character comedian
Allen Curtis, and he is surrounded
with such a well known cast of mus

company, from reports. is the best

The show "Jakey, Mikey and Ikey''
is light as to plot, but it guarantees
to keep its audience in one contin-
uous uproar of laughter from the
rise of the curtain to the finish. "A

ROSWELL CLASSED WITH
THE LARGE CITE!

The ladies' of Roswell now enjoy
privilege an opportunity and an
advantage heretofore accorded only
to cities of twenty thousand or more
in population. The 'ISorosis" shoe
for women is now on sale in Ros-
well at the store of Price & Co. The
manufacturers of this shoe have never
before placed an agency for the shoe
in a town of less than twenty tnous-
and inhabitants. 1t is not on sale in
any other town of New Mexico, the
nearest agencies being at FL Paso,
Fort Worth and Dallas. This recog-
milton of the high class of trade5 in
Roswell by such company as the
manufacturers of the Sorosis shoe
is a matter of pardonable pride for
the whole community. 1t shows that
Roswell and the Pecos Valley are set
tied by people who know and demand
the best quality of everything and
who are able and willing to pay the
price of superiority in education, in
morals and in civic improvement as
well as in dry goods, clothing and
shoes. The Sorosis shoe is ma1ufac-
tured at Lynn, Mass, by E. A. Little
& Co.. and is placed in all the large
cities of Europe, where it enjoys a
popularity as great as it does in
America. 1t is simply the me plus
ultra" in the woman's shoe line, per-
feet in fit, style, finish, comfort, and
in durability u1excelled. Mr.. Price
we are informed, has worked for
nearly three years to induce the man
ufacturers to make an exception of
Roswell in their policy of confining
their agencies to cities of twenty
thousand Or more population. By per-
sistence and convincing figures as to
the class of trade here Mr. Price won
them over, and the ladies of Roswell
are to be congratulated.

THE LLOYD & CENTER
COMPANY is GOOD

The Lloyd and Center Co. present
ed Hal Reid's masterpiece, "A South
ern Romance" to a large ald apDre-
ciative audience at the Majestic The
atre last night. The play was fine,
any every one of the characters did
their part in a pleasing way The spe-
clalt1es were unusually good. Grant
Watkins deserves special mention in
the manner he played the violin, fife
bells and several other musical in
struments- Lawrence Sullivan's great
paper tearing act, caused a great deal
of comment amongst the audience. 1t
was new to Roswell, and is worth the
price of admission
Tonight >this popular company will
present the great melodrama BLACK
Diamond" The specialties will be al
together different from those of last
night.
