AT the Opera House.

When "Graustark,o George Barr
McCutcheon's book play, which has
been dramatized for stage purposes
by Geo D. Baker, comes to the
Shelton opera house for April 8 the
theatregoers Of Waxahaehie will
have the opportunity of witnessing
the most talked of and successful
romantic drama before the public
in recent years.
This play has been dramatized
with Mr.. McCutcheon's novel as a
basis, and those readers of fiction
who have passed few hours pleas
antly pursuing same, will be more
than satisfied with its appearance
in play form.
Mr.. Baker, who made the drama

ordeals OF court life and intrigues

ty such an GrauHtark il used as a
background for play, hence the
tremendous success of this offering.
Not since the Prisoner of Zenda"

rains had caused rise of some six

of the fish being eight to ten inches
