THE FORTUNE HUNTER"

Winchell Smiths play, THE
Fortune Hunter" as it was present.
ed by the Rowland & Clifford COM
pany at the opera house Monday
evening, was the finest treat in the
line of wholesome American COM
edy that River Falls audience has
ever had the opportunity to enjoy.
In every particular the performance
was delightful success, and never
before did a local audience show
such unanimous and hearty appre-
citation of a play. The company
was splendidly equipped for this
production, being composed of ex-
ceptionably able actors, and they
carried magnificent line of seem
cry. Every member of the cast de-
served the hearty appreciation the
audience manifested. The story of
the play was deeply interesting, and
while ecstatic comedy was the
strong feature, it was finely balanc-
ed by strain of impressive emo
tional situations. After seeing this
play here the people of River Falls
appreciate more than ever the
value of the new building and the
possibilities it affords. Even at
the extra admission charged the
house was practically filled, and the
excellent patronage is fine encour-
agement for those who are most
active in boosting the project, and
it also insures the patrons a con-
tinuation of the high class attract
ions.
