Excellent Attraction at Airdome.

The management of the Alrdome
certainly drew a good attraction
when they secured-the Gibson Brad
field Stock company. Last night the
Airdome was filled almost to it's ca
pacity. In fact, it was the largest
house of the season. The company
presented THE College Boy, farce
comedy in three acts. Bud RIGGS
and Rose Ainsworth were seen in the
leading roles and handled their parts
in a most admirable manner. One
thing very noticeable about this COM
pany, while the leading parts stand
| out very strong, the minor parts are
| taken equally as we'll We do not see
where single part could have been
| improved upon in last nights per
| Torrance The Gibson Bradfield com
pany is decidedly the best company
that has ever played the Airdome
Tonight the company presents
"Out of the Fold" a comedy drama
in four acts, and we believe that any
one who misses tonight's play vii
