st. Elmo"

The interest in the play, st. Elmo, .
is not confined to any class or age OF
men and women. The book has been
very popular with the last three genera
tons and the management asserts that
it is no unusual thing to see three gem
erations of one family at performance.
Readers of fiction recall ST. Elmo"
as one of the most beautiful love stories
of the language. The character Of Ed
ma Earle is undoubtedly as appealing as
any in fiction, and the regeneration of
st. Elmo Murray through her love is a
tale Of which one never tires.
Miss Grace Hayward, who dramatized
the book has taken few liberties with
the story, and the result is play that
fully satisfies, wholesome and true to
the last degree.
The appearance at the Reynolds next
Friday, Nov 25, is one Of the most
promising events Of the year. The
original company and production are
guaranteed by the management.
