HOUSE MISS VERSA F EL TON
THE STAR.
The opera house was crowded last
night at the initial performance of the
Allen Stock Company, the play given
followed in the lines of Jhe good old
stock days when comedy, pathos and
sentiment was expressed.
The company produced "That Girl
From Texas" and the stellar role was
played by Miss Verna Felton who show
ed herself as a most capable leading
lady, holding her audience with her
clever conception and handling of the
part, in a most pleasant atmosphere;
she varied from the lighter moods to
the more effective one with such an
ease as to be a delight and treat for all
who witnessed the play.
Mr. Irving Kennedy proved himself
worthy of his part as Lotd Arthur and
carried it through with much skill.
As Hans, the eccentric German, Mr.
Seabury made the real fun of the piece
and as a comedian, touched the humor
ous side of his part, giving all its
points.
S!x. Avres played Shann McCrey ef
fectively, di-playing no effort, but that
01 ease and grace.
The company as a whole is strong,
precise in their work and absolute in
nit their details.
The play for this evening will be a
farce comedy entitled "Whose Baby Are
You?" The Portland critics who saw
the Allen Stock Company in this play
two weeks ago, give it their highest
praise and recommendation. A laugh
from start to fini-h. ' ;
