- Advance sale of tickets for Rose Of
Washington Square, musical comedy
extraordinary which is TO play in the
new opera house here tonight Is pro-
crossing quite satisfactorily, Manager
J. Frank Faulkner OF the opera house
said this morning. The show played in
Asheville, N c. last night to capacity
house and in fact has been greeted by
large crowds Of critical show goers
wherever it has appeared. Yorkville Is
the smallest town that the show has
played on its present tour and the
management of the opera house was not
able to get 1t without effort. I'VE have
every reason to believe that this show
is one of the best musical comedies on
the road" said Mr.. Faulkner this
morning. Press criticisms Of the show
from other cities have been highly
commendatory and we feel sure that
local theatre goers will receive value
for their money in the way of high
class entertainment. Rose of Washing
ton Square had a big run in New
York, Chicago and other large cities
and every member Of the cast is real
artist. In the event that there is
good house attendant upon the per-
formance tonight, we are assured OF
other high class shows"
