"Nettie the News tori," Gould &
Freed's big scenic melodrama, which
will be the attraction here next Thurs
day night, is a plav which should be seen
by everyone. . It is not one of those ex
aggerated sensational plays that de ends
on thrilling climaxes for success, but
ona of those plain, every day, sensible
plays that can be readily understood, and
the dialogue consistent with every day
conversation. The public has long de
manded just such a play, and that their
demand has been satisfied is proven by
the exceptionally strong praise this com
pany h&s received in the Eastern cities.
The scenery is sumptuous and costly and
the company far above the average.
Tbe company is beaded by Miss Isabella
Lowe, and recently played an engage
ment in Portland, where they were high
ly praised.
