CHANGE OF POLICY
AT THE VICTORY THEATRE
Commencing Monday Night, May 10th.

Manager Shaw has been convinced
that the theatre-goers of P~leasantville
are with him. He promised the people
of our city that if they would support
a good show he would from time to
time increase his show and give the
people of Pleasantville double their
moneys worth. Judging from the
plans that Mgr. Shaw has adopted in
his new policy, the people of Pleas
antville are satisfied with what they
have had at the Victory. But wait and
see what Mgr. Shaw has for his pa
irons. A Big Musical Comedy Co. of
10 people, mostly girls, and girls that
can sing and dance. This is a first
class, clean show in every respect,
and there will be nothing said or done
to offend the most sensitive lady. Mgr.
Shaw has taken some time in selecting
his company, which will be a stock
company, changing programs COM
pletely on Mondays and Thursdays.
Mgr. Shaw has also engaged a special
piano player, a Mr.. Troth, of Philadel-
phia. This is a big part of the en-
tertainment, as music plays a big part
in any show. If the people of Pleas
antville want an orchestra he will
give it to them. But they must prove
that they want it by their patronage as
in the past. 1t was the patronage that
encouraged Mgr. Shaw to increase his
show. Now, people, what do you say?
There are among the cast Jimmie
Jones and James R.. McCauley, both of
Musical Comedy fame, also Dot Lee
Vern and Flo West, also of Musical
Comedy fame. The chorus consists
of Gladys Brockhard, May Burns, Ruth
Watson, Myrtle Polfrey, Anna German.
These girls are of the best of singers
and dancers.
The people of Pleasantville do not
want to be told of what a good show
there is now at the Victory, but they
want to see it. Mothers, do not be
afraid to let the little ones come, as
there will be nothing to misguide
them.
There will only be two matinees a
week, Wednesday and Saturday. Ow-
ing to the amount of rehearsing that
is required in changing the program
twice a week, it is impossible to give
daily matinees. The first matinee will
be Wednesday, May 81, at 8 p. m.
Come and see for yourself. Don't wait
for your n~eighbor to tell you all about
it. Be first with the rest.
