The Droduction of "A
Slave" which comes to the Opera
Hnnse next Wednesday evening,
ia to be one of the real events ot
the theatrical season in this city.
Of all the romantic dramas seen
last vear. few were as well re
ceived as this beautiful story of j
the Southland. It is not only
unusual in dramatic construction
but is magnificent in its scenic
investure. 1 he play treats 01 a
time when magnificence was vis
ible on every band and of a peo
pie who denied their women folks
nothing. Passionate, emotional
to an extreme, hieh-tempered,
the Caslilians of Mexico lived
picturesquely as well as wore
brilliant costumes.
It is a s'torv of the days "When
Knighthood was in Flower' in
old Mexico, taken from lew
Wallace's "The Fan God."
"A Royal Slave" is remembered
by Corvallis theater patrons ah
one of the very best attractions
here lat season, the company if
better than ever.-and is sure ti
draw a ciowded- house. It is a;
attraction, that the managemen
of the Opera House takes pleas
