"The Winning Widow" The Big At
traction Mt The Opera House
This Week.

This is conceded to be one of the
best musical shows seen playing over
the Southern circuit of theatres. The
name Winning Widow" has become
a trade mark in the musical comedy
world, as being the best show ever
given to the public. This season, Mr..
Speigel has spent money lavishly on
scenery, electric effects and costumes.
The consequence is that those who
have seen THE Winning Widow" in
the past will see production far
more pretentious and elaborate than
any ever given to the public.
Mr.. Speigel has gone into the must
cal comedy. legitimate and vaudeville
field for his artists and has secured
the services of some of the very best
artists. He has find in Miss Lovey
Marie Greene who is a prima-donna
with voice of wonderful sweetness
and range. She is a beautiful woman
of rare refinement and talented. She
sings song most cleverly and has a
personality that has won her favorable
criticism wherever she has appeared
She is also an actress of ability. An
other acquisition to The Winning VII
dow" company is Mr.. Joe Freed, who
has sweet tenor voice of rare quail
ity. Mr.. Freed will make many
friends in this Southern tour, as he
is very clever and has pleasing per-
sonality-(Advt)
