\ MUSICAL COMEDY SUCCESS


The event of the season will be the
appearance here of Ben. +, Craners
metropolitan company of comedians in
the new musical breeze, 1.-THE Widow
McCarty." This is not an old slap stick
comedy, suggesting nothing and mean
ing less, but a bright crisp up to the
minute play, interspered with the kind
of comedy that appeals to all lovers of
good amusement. The first question
that the average theatre goer asks is, is
it going to be any good3 This notice
will answer that question, it will be and
perhaps more than good. An attraction
that the eminent producer Mr.. Ben. F.
Craner's name is Unidentified with is suf-
ficient guarantee unto itself that it is a
superior article.
Sept. 18th at the Alma Opera House
Miss Mayme McFarlan will be seen in
that merriest of merry musical comedies
entitled the Widow McCarty," positive
ly the brightest musical comedy success
of the season The entire production
handsomely gowned, perfectly presented
evenly acted by company of comedians
and the beauty chorus comprising bevy
of pretty girls in the latest song hits,
dances and pretty stage pictures, elabor-
ately costumed, presenting program
unexcelled for novel and catchy features
and elaborate scenic and mechanical eff
fects. Don't forget the date of this big
musical event and reserve your seats
early.
