Why Dodge's Theatre is Such Pop
ular Amusement Resors For
the People of This
Vicinity.
MARTIN AND coLv1N
Singer and Musician Have Been Sc
cured Fer the Entire Winter
Season by Manager
Abel.

One reason why Dodges theater at
tracts such crowds of people every
evening, is because of the fact that
Guerdon Colvin sings the illustrated
songs and Clyde Martin plays the
piano.
These two Keokuk artists form a
strong team and their work in the
theater has brought this popular fam
i'v tltater UP to high standair. Tnr-
ing the summer these two have fur
nished what many patrons declare to
be the best part of the program and
the welcome announcement is made
that Manager Abel has secured the
two for the winter season.
