Manager Grandhomme desires
us to announce that the greatest of
society plays, East Lynne, is com
ing in all it's glory, and will be at
the Academy of Music, Thursday,
December 26th. Mr.. Lee Moses
has produced this play for the past
ten years in practically the same
territory, and that in itself speaks
wonders for the management in
which this bill has been given.
This seasons company is equally
as good, if not better, than any
Mr.. Moses has carried and our
theatre goers can look for a treat
in a theatrical way when East
Lynne is presented here, The
play is so familiar to all classes OF
amusement seekers that little com.
ment is necessary. Suffice to say
that East Lynne is a frst-class
play presented by a i~rst-class
company and in frst-class style,
too. Seats on sale at the Handy
Kitchen.
