Since the discovery that mercolized wax
possesses remarkable absorbent powers
when applied to the skin, the demand for

DRAMATIC AND OPERATIC
PRODUCTIONS HERE SOON

When Charles r. Horner made ar
arrangements with the Lindsey Theatre
to present four productions from New
York City in Lubbock he assured
them both the plays and casts would
be first class.
At the time when Mr.. Homer was
organizing the players for THE Only
7 Girl" "The 18th Chair" Cheating
Cheaters," and "The Gypsy Trail,
strike conditions in New York were
such that many first class artists were
available for the Horner productions.
For instance: Mr.. Ira Hards, who has
been secured for general stage dircc-
tor of the Horner productions, is one
of Americas foremost stage direc-
tors. He has had charge of such
New York productions as: Rem
nants," "The 18th Chair" pals
First" and Sometime" He was
with Charles Frohman for ten years.
The fact that Mr.. Hards has as
sumed such an important position
with Mr. Horner, is a sufficient guar
antee that first class productions ex-
clusively viii be presented, for that IS
the only kind that Mr. Hards directs
The casts for these plays were or
ganized in New York City by Mr.
Horner's New York Branch under his
own personal supervision and the
leading parts will be played by play
ers who are popular with the theatre
goers of the larger cities.
In this issue Of the Avalanche will
be found the announcement dates
of the four big plays which will be
presented at the Lindsey Theatre
covering dates in October, November
January and February.
II will be remembered that it was
Horner's Chautauqua that was here
last summer and attracted such
great crowds, and il is known that
the characters in these productions
are equally as good as any they pre-
scented then.
The theatre-going people of this
city are fortunate indeed to have
these great productions brought right
to their door.
