''Thorns and Orange Blossoms" given
at the opera house Monday evening was
one Of the best plays Of the kind Mr..
Gluck has secured this season. It was |
well acted and held the interest Of the |
audience throughout the entire four acts.
Will H. Dorbin as "Tommy Swyft from
America" became the favorite from the
first, with his breezy acting and the |
others Of the company were much above |
the average. The scenery was new and
all possible was done to make the show
3 good clean production. Manager
Gluck has indeed made every effort to
secure as good attractions for the opera
house this year as Il ls possible for him |
to do. The Dodge City Home Talent

evening and tomorrow evening.
