GAS the Sun Went Down."

One of the best attractions to be
seen here during the present season is
due tonight at the Keylor Grand the
alter, when Arthur c. Aistons excellent
company will be seen in "As the Sun
Went Down." a new western play by
Geo. d. Baker. 1t is a comedy drama
the story containing love, pathos and
comedy skilfully blended.
While the scenes are laid in the
great west, it is not a play that is full
of sensationalism, which is many times
found in plays that are laid in that sec
ton of the country. 1t is true to the
life of the west In the cities that it
has so far been presented in, it has
scored a most pronounced success.
The company is headed by Esther
Williams who is well known here for
her excellent work as "Parepa the Oc-
toroon' in AT the Old Cross Roads"
and in other plays which Manager Ais
ton has formerly sent here. The COM
pany has been selected with the great
est of care and comprises many we'll
known people.
The scenery has been gotten out by
the Lee-Lash Scenic company of New
York city and they are credited with
giving this play some of the most ar
tistic settings which they have ever
lturned out
