"The Two Little Walre."
This play la one of the moat successful
ever written and staged by Lincoln J.
Carter and will b seen at Shively Opera
House on Wednesday, January 11th. It
Is without doubt one of the most stir
ring plays that will be seen at thla thea
tre this season. The story Itself la full
of strong; heart interest. The villian,
in order to win the love of another man's
wife, breaks up the home and kidnap
one of the children. The mother la re
duced to abject poverty, but tn her direst
need refuses aid from the man who
brought trouble at the door of her horn
by his base plotting. The piece la full
of pathos and tenra but la not without
some good comedy.
