"A Bachelors Honeymoon. .

On Wednesday night May "a, at
the Theatre ellison & Bradfield will
present Mr.. dwight A. Meade in the
great laugh, producing play, "A
Bachelors Honeymoon" In produce
ing this play the managers have re-
juvenated one of the greatest comedies
ever written. Respondent with
clever, sparkling, witty lines, and
lively laughing situations; its humor
Is contagious and carries the audience
upon wave of hilarious enthusiasm.
The laughing fad of the day, was the
feature line of the criticisms i'm New
York, where this comedy ran for
267 consecutive performances at the
Madison Square Theatre.
Mr.. Dwight A. Meade, who is
being starred in the attraction, is a
young actor of great promise. He
was featured last season by Rowland
Il Gaskill in "A House of a thousand
Candles" and the critics were unan-
imous in praise of his wonderful in
depreciation of the character OF
Bates" In Bachelor Mr.. Meade
has found a character especially
adapted to his charming personality.
He is supported by II capable com
pany of twelve people. With the
company are the only real twins
travelling with theatrical produc.
ton, the famous Grae Sisters, whit
created such sensation in Denver
recently by appearing on the streets
clad in Harem skirts. One woman
in Harem is sufficient; but two ant
twins at that, 1t was too much TO
Denver. They will be in Montpelie
on Wednesday May "a. watch TO
them.
