Raymond Teal Coming

The manager of the Stafford opera
house announces the special engage
ment of the Big Raymond Teal
Musical Comedy Company for one
night, Tuesday. September 2Sth.
The Teal show made the biggest
hit of any show in Stafford last sea-
son and Manager Wolf laid out one
night for Stafford. This is indeed
a treat for the lovers of high class
musical comedy, as the musical
shows this season will be far be-
tween, owing to the high railroad
ing and the shutting out of the
shows in Tucson and Bisbee. as those
two towns, which are really the old
strongholds of the road shows en-
route to the coast, have cut out the
road shows for stock, which will
switch most of the shows over the
Santa Fe the coming season.
The company numbers thirty peo-
pie, mostly girls, and the offering
to be given here will be the big
musical song show, Variety Isle, in
two acts, and fourteen chorus
numbers.
The personnel of the company has
somewhat changed, many new faces
being with the show.
The principal soubrettes are Miss
Elma Ellwood and Oracle Wolf,
and the comedians are RAYMOND
Teal, Cash Knigbs, George Burton,
SAM Owens and y. j. Post.
