THE MISSOURI GIRL"
REAL CLEVER SHOW
Better Than the Average Rural Drama
Good Specialties.

Better Than the Average Rural Drama
Good SpecaItes.
Speaking of the play that will be at the
Holt Opera House ON Saturday night, the
Riverside Enterprise says:
"The Missouri Girl" with the versatile
Bonnie Mae in the title role, ably sup
ported by Il strong company, was the at
traction at the Loring Theater last night.
The play is above the average of rural
dramas in that its action is made smooth
by a better company than usually char
acteriZes the setting. AS to plot 1t is
about the same old story of the old ''home
farm" with n mine and a villain who
kills the old settler and tries to steal the
valuable farm on account of the wealth
that it unexpectedly develops by discov-
cry of rich ore
But, of course, everything turns out all
right. the villain meeting his just deserts,
the heroine and her best fellow get be-
trothed, and everything eliminates as
happily as could be expected.
During the action of the play several
very clever specialties are introduced, the
dancing of Fred Raymond, who wrote the
piece. being worthy of especial mention.
His speciality is q dance that is something
entirely different. steps the like of which
were never taken ON this stage, and that
he more than pleased the audience was
evidenced by the fact that he was re-
called several times.
Miss Maie gave an Illustration of Il new
kind of harem skirt. which brought down
the house, the business" being worked
up with the first appearance of country
girl in party dress. This was a very
of olye''
earned for her Il double encore and the
admiration of the entire audince.
Kathryn Cameron as the woman who
doesn't talk much" is u suffragette of
the old school
The Missouri Girl' pleased the audi
ence that assembled to witness it i'm
mensely as hearty laughter greeted the
many amusing incidents of the piece.
