WM?as GRAND C ' THE AN --i FIRST PRODUCTION AT CITY'S ELEGANT NEW THEATRE WAS A DELIGHT NOT A HITCH IN ENTIRE PROGRAM "The Prince of Tonight" Proved! to be a Charming and Whole some Attraction-Well Pleased Audience Charin and beauty that beggars des cription marked thc grand opening last night ot Anderson's elegant new (heal re. un iver-ally t .mcoded to bc ?ne of the handsomest and most mod ern In thc Carolinas. The initial attraction at the beau tiful amusement palaee was a presen tation hy Lecomte ind Flesher of thc tuneful musical fantasy "Thc Prince af Tonight" by Adams. Hough and Howurd. Had the rjll of all thc theatrical offerings touring this sec tion of the country.und playing in cit ies of Anderson'? size been before tho management to select from, he could not have been more fortunate in his choosing of an opening attraction Tuneful, sprightly and with a riot of color and elaborate scenery, ?he per formance proved a favorite from the rise of the curtain until lt went down <:n the last of three well rounded acts. Attendance Was Large. The audience was by far the largest .hal has ever gathered In Anderson in a similar occasion. There were 'ev.- if any vacant seats left in tho house, and this fact, when lt is taken 'uto consideration that tickets for the 'irst night performance sold at prices ?nore than double those which will prevail hereafter, ls a splendid ex pression of appreciation from the gen eral public for the efforts put forth by those fea' men who are responsible 'or Auder m having today one of the most modern playhouses of thc Caro linas. Flay Was Splendid. "Thc Prince of Tonight" not only .ame up to all that had been promised, but exceeded the most sanguine ex occtatlona. That it is the most de lightful attraction of thc ' ind that has iver visited Anderson. IK a fact that will not be disputed. If there was a lull moment nt. the two-and-a-balf hours that the play run. the most critical eye did not detect lt. Not inly was the play pleasing, but it was tree from anything offensive to he sensibilities of the most fastid ious. With an abundance of songs sane with dash aid spirit, plenty of f.ood. ?lean oin edy. pretty costume? and i wealth of splendid scenery. "Tho Prince of Tonight" made a distinct hit with the large audience. There .ire several very clever lines thorugh out thc play, a large number of good songs and scores ot hearty laughs. While the several parts were excel lently done by those entrusted with the carrying out of them, special men tion . should bo made of tho work ot Miss Mabel Laffin, as, Virginia Stuart; Tom Arnold, as Jim Suther land. The Prince: Frank Harsh, as Daniel Stuart; Vera Lo Vere, as Mrs. Daniel Stuart; Misa Eva' Phelps, as Donnie Stuart. ' Very Pretty Mary. The story of '"The Prince of To night" is a very pretty and attractive one, and the scenea being laid at Palm Beach, Fla., permitted the bring ing In of features especially ..ear to th? hearts of Southerners, for in stance, that of the finale 'of thc last ict. "Dixie." , Those who saw "Tho Prince of To night" enjoyed it immensely, and they went away from the theatre without that bad taste tn tue mouth that some times prevails after one has witnessed i modern musical comedy. If "Thc Prince or Tonight" ls on the road next Beas?n, it will receive a very hearty welcome vo Anderson. ? Moved Off Smoothly.
