The scene opens with our versatile,
Mr.. Warfield teaching school and the

be well to state here that the young
est and loudest baby in the bunch will

who heretofore has only essayed the
role OF English lords. The scene In
the second act is laid in New York
where our teacher and his brightest
pupil, Miss Gombel. OF Baltimore, are
surrounded by the best dramatic tall
ent in Sykespille, all interested in the
making of Pokes Pine Potion. The
stage in the third act will be divided
in half, one side TO be Poke's Pine
Potion Laboratory and the other Mr.
Madder's studio The great feature
in this act is to see how the stage can
be divided and still leave q visible
sign of the halves II is here that we
call upon our many patrons Of this
vicinity to stretch their imaginations
and help, with applause those over the
ing on - Put all joking aside the
management has gotten together
great cast and the low comedy Of the
many parts insures many laughs that
go with this holiday season.
