THE OPENING EVENT.
[
JUtM Bertha Creighton at the Star Theatre
Thursday Evening.
Ihe auspicious opening of Riles
Bertha Creighton’s tour in - A Coloni
al GJrl”, which occurred in Philadel
phia recently, is proofjthat plays of
Ameri can life will always have a
strong following. The Revolutionary
period, with its wealth of ronaance and
adventure, has been too long neglected
at a field for dramatic endeavor.
Grace Livingston Furniss, authoress
of “A.Colonial Girl,” has filled a.long
'standing popular demand for a play
dealing with America’s most thrill
ing times, abd Miss Creighton’s suc
cess as the lovable little maid of the
olden days has been most emphatic.
The authoress hss rewritten the plsy
since its production at the Lvceum
Theatre, New York, and careful at
tention to historical d*- ail insures
the preservation of < He <• .arming colo
nial atmodpher . Mica Creighton,*nd
“A Colonial Girl” will be seen at the
Star Theatre on next Thursday even
ing.
Universally praised for its pic
turesqueness, its charming love
scenes, its fluent, sparkling dialogue
and capital comedy, “A Colonial
Girl” comes to the Star Theatre on
Thursday Oct. 2nd-
( This will be the first attraction in
Gaffney for two seasons and the open
ing of the new theatre, therefore the
house should be filled to its fullest
capacity.
The managers of the theatre have ,
spared neither pains nor money to!
bring to Gaffney the highest class at-1
tractions that can be brought to a
town of this size. Four of the attrac
tions booked are the best one-night (
shows on the road and they demand
$1.50 for the best scats in the cities.
We have succeeded (in Inducing
them to come to Gaffney and giving
their best shows for $1.00 for the best
seats.
We have been requested to inform
the patrons of the theatre that the
management ^has adopted a general
set of rules to govern the bouse and
patrons will be required to comply
with those rules. A most important
rule is that the ushers will not be
permitted to seat persons while there
is action on the stage. It disturbs
others and there can be no excuse for
not getting there on time. Ladies are
requested to remove their hats. A
hat and cloak room has been provided
for them and they can use the dresser
to arrange their toilet. A competent
maid will be in attendance. No bois
terous conduct will he permitted in
any part of the hou^e Order! will he
preserved if it becon-es nece-sHrv to
invi ke the >iirl of the police, tho r,,f ore
the most refined need have no fear of
attending.
The Tumlng of The Shrew.
This play is one of a few Shakes
pearean plays which can be seen and
enjoyed by the general public without
having previously made a study of
the works of the great poet. It is a
farce comedy, if anything so classi
cal can be so called, after having seen
the innumerable nonsensicalities
which have been given this name.
There is humor and dash from start
to finish, snd the wit is the merriest
and most rollicking which has ever
been incorporated into a comedy.
Mr. Charles B. Hanford will present
this play at the new Star Theatre on
Thursday Got. 9th.
The sale of seats for the forthcom
ing engagement of Mr. Charles B.
