MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION.
Miss Nobody From Starland"
Charms Audience Which Packs
Every Seat and Standing
Room.

Not in many years has such q
large and so cosmopolitan an au-
dience greeted theatrical produc-
ton in DEBORAH as that which pack
ed the Grand on Friday to laugh
and exult over Olive Vail and the
big company which supported her
in Miss Nobody from Starland.
When the announcement of her
coming was made it soon became
evident that the performance would
be we'll patronized, but it was hard
ly expected that every seat in the
theatre would be occupied, and the
available standing room space as
well. Packed to the limit, every
body was happy, and they were per-
mitted to grow more happy as the
play progressed. Splendidly staged,
magnificently costumed, with the in
imitable Miss Vail and supporting
company of comedians that were ORR
ginal and so funny that they kept
everybody roaring whenever they
appeared, scenic effects superior to
anything We have had here in some
time, graceful dancers, pretty chorus
girls, in all a conception and exc
cution of play of beauty and ele-
gance, it charmed and delighted ev-
eryone who saw it. 1t was one of
the finest things we have had here,
and that means that it is one of
the very best attractions on the
road.
There were people here from all
about the adjacent country, SO many

cure all their names, but the follow
