To get a comic opera star from the "Great White Way" New York city to appear in St. Johns, is hard ly to be expected. Mr. Olc Nelson, manager of the new Mtiltnoninh theatre has through his powers of theatrical influence secured Angela Mny, the musicnl stnr, to nppcnr for one week nt the beautiful new thentre, sud give her comic opcru nnd musical comedy successes. It's To I.augh, is the motto of the this Hroadway favorite and the patrons of the Multnomah will have a mus ical comedy treat for the regular price. The gowns worn by Ange la May nre n treat to the feminine J. Louis McKvoy, Lyric Comedian, eye and a puzzle to mere man. Her voice is pure contralto, is as pow erful as it is true, and her soags reach the hearts of her listeners, The Oregonian said the "musical comedy of the week was Angela May." Suppose it does cost a lot of monet to get her, Mr. Nelson says there is nothing too good for St. Johns and his patrons. Angela May will begin Monday, Aug. 21st.
