Of all the attractio n s which
have visited us in the past decade,
none is more popular with the
i theatre going public than th at
q u ain t and alw ays welcome, pretty
j domestic comedy, " T h e Missouri
|G irl.” Its author aud m anager,
i Mr. F'red Raymond, feels justly
' proud of its unbounded success as
a work of dram atic art, years of
]K>pular favor, aud wonderful
draw ing (lowers. It is a faithful
picture of A m erican country life,
with a healthful and invigorating
atmosphere. In the construction
of th is truly successful play Mr.
Raymond has given to the Am eri
can stage two character delinea
tions, “ Zeke” au d "D a isy ” which
stand alone as laugh producers,
and one wonders at th e u n ad u lter
ated sim plicity w hich characterizes
those two ex cruciatingly funny
creations, but the play has also its
serious side of life, w hich brings
into action an exceptionally strong
