A Theatrical Novelty.
A real theatrical novelty 11 "A
Hoo&icr Daisy," the four net pas
toral comedy drama which appears
at the opera house Saturday even
ing, April 26th.
The author has gone out of the
beaten track and gives to the pub
lic something new. Especially so,
is the title role, "A Hoosicr Daisy,"
a gawky, awkward country girl,
who, raised in a poor house, has ac
quired a certain amount ot slang,
which, mixed with the Hoosier dia
lect and combined with a certain
amount of wit and wisdom, makes
the character one that will live in
the memory ot all. Around this
character he has used such typed ol
people usually found in the smaller
towns to weave a dramatic story
of more than ordinary intercut com
bining quaint comedy, sentiment
and a strong heart story. The com
pany is an exceptionally strong one
that supports Miss llestie Clifton in
the title role. The scenery is an
especially attractive feature and
shows the main street in Reubens
villr, hid, the home ol the richest
man in town and the house where
the Hoosier Daisy lives Where
ever the pi ly has been presented it
has meet with artistic and financial
success and return dates are in
vaiiably booked.
