A Splendid Shew.
This is what the Western Review
of Williamsport. Ind., says about “A
Pair of Country Kida.”
“A Pair of Country Kida,” the best
show that ever came down the pike,
played to a crowed here last Monday
night, in the Bowlua opera house. It
was a good show, each and every actor
waa a star in hia or her part, and "Hi
and Trixie," the fun-mtkers, were
excellent. Two more just like them
would be hard to find, because they
juat seemed suited to the place.
Monday night’s show was an evi-
dence that Manager Bowlua will not
"gull" the people with a lot of cheap.,
trashy stuff, but instead will if possible
put on larger shows, handling a better
class of plays, giving ‘ them their
money’s worth,"
Coming to Conroe October 31st.
Stude’s Bread received daily at Uncle
Nick’s.
