The Deep Purple. :"

action fast enough to play long
roll on snare-drum," wrote the clever
critic on Life, the humorous weekly, in
his review of "The Deep Purple It Is
this play of Paul Armstrong and Wilson
Miner which, after long runs in both
New York and Chicago, will furnish the
attraction at Turner opera house on
Nov. 18th.
Rapid action, experience teaches, is
what theagreat majority of theatre goers
want. When play contains this dra-
matte virtue and in addition is plausible
enough to carry conviction, that Is, to
make one forget the make-believe OF the
theatre, the success is assured. Never
from the time the manuscript of "The
Deep Purple" reached the offices of its
producers, has any doubt been felt of its
popular triumph. 1t deals with inter-
esting people, the denizens of New York s
underworld, in an absorbing and realis-
tic manner. The petty CRAFTS of these
crooks furnish amusement, their bigger
games strong scenes and tense situations.
A splendid company has been assemb-
led by the management for the local
presentation of the play. There are
seven parts that require skillful hand
ling. hence seven people with whose
work the regular theatre-goerS are fam
iliar. Several of them have starred in
the past. Tickets are now on sale at
Schempf Drug Go.

A Novel Clock.

A very novel and unique clock has
been installed in the lobby of the Classic
theatre. Instead Of having two hands
and the numerals arranged in circle
on It's face like an ordinary clock, it has
an indicator which moves up and down
somewhat resembling the indicator of a
spring balance. The numerals are
placed about the path of the indicator
forming an oval, the space between the
numerals being divided off into minutes.
The clock is novelty and Masterbrook
& Norton are the first in the city to in
stall one. It will be appreciated by the
patrons of the theatre.
H. E. Ellsworth and w. K. Pattinson
are the agents for the clock and have
Wisconsin and Minnesota as their terri
tory. The small spaces between the
advertisements will contain lodge no.
tees each week.
