WHITE SISTER" PROVES /
INTERESTING PLAY
Tent Show Performers Played TO a
large Crowd Despite the Fad
WeatIaer-Will Remain Over
Next Week.

Quite a few theatre goers brayed
the chilly blasts OF winter last night
and went out to the tent show
where Baird & Wilson's Comedians
gave their feature performance, THE
White Sister" What the audience
lacked In numbers was made up in
appreciation. In this bill Miss Hub
bard, In the role of Madam LaRue,
is the central figure. She is espe-
cially strong on tragedies and made
the most Of this opportunity to dis
play her talent. Miss Hubbard pre-
sents a pleasing appearance on the
stage and her voice is good. Mr..
Taylor, in the character OF Capt
Lowranee, claimed share OF atten-
ton. as did Miss Adams. Hand af-
ter hand was given the performers
as they disregarded the cold and
played well their parts under diff
culties.
During their stay in the city The
Comedians have made many friends
and the announcement that they will
remain over next week was received
last night with applause.
