Dr. Arthur R. Butler, an examining
physician in the Civil Service De

The Lee Willard Company closed a
three nights', engagement at Wood
man Hall, Friday night, with the
enjoyable comedy, "A Gay Deceiver."
Owing to the political speaking, com
mencement exercises and other cou nter
attractions, the attendance was small
on the closing night. The play was
presented with as much care, however,
as if the house had been filled to over
flowing. Mr. Willard is a conscientious
actor, and is certainly doing his best
to give the people of the interior towns
a superior class of plays. He has
surrounded himself with a clever
company, and has used rare judg
ment in selectine: his repertoire. He
promises to return to Dallas next Fall
with a still better company, and
announces that he will include this
city In his regular circuit if sufficient
encouragement is offered at that time.
