"The Mission Play" goes upon its
tour with all the sumptuous settings
which have marked its production at

have drawn thousands and which have
spread the fame of the play around
the world. It carries nearly one hun

They have grown into the play as the
play has grown, a part of their lives.
They are Californians real Califor

of the first Spanish famiiles that set

Indians in the play are California mis

TO THE PEOPLE
OF OiAHA
AND VICINITY
This is the most important theatrical announcement I have
ever made during my long career aa a manager in this city.
I have just contracted with Messrs. William Elliott, F. Ray
Comstock and Morris Gest to bring their magnificent production
of "Experience," the most wonderful play in America, to Omaha
at the Boyd theater for three nig.its, commencing Thursday, No
vember 2, with a-bargain matinee Saturday.
"Experience" is, without doubt, the greatest success of this
day ana generation. It ran nint months in New York, seven
months in Chicago and five months in Boston. In every com
munity where it is presented, It invariably receives the enthusi
astic indorsement of the clergy of all creeds and denominations.
. "Experience" is a modern morality drama by George V. Ho
bart, telling in ten vivid and powerful scenes of the temitat o is
confronting Youth the average young man going forth into
the world for Fame and Fortune. '
"Experience" is properly called "The Most Wonderful P!ay In
America." I know of my own knowledge that this play has been
a sensation elsewhere. I am sure it will arouse enormous interest
here. It is t le biggest show I have booked in ten years. I don't
believe another one as big will come along in tie next ten years.
I am proud and happy to be able to bring "Experience" to the
theatergoers of this city. Mail orders now. Seat sale, Monday,
October 30. Best secure your seats early.
