Spectacular, extravaganza and vaud

dians and pretty girls of the White
Crook Co. will rule the boards at the
Opera House, Monday night, Jan.
20th. The show w ill be found to be
a departure from the average light ex
travaganza entertainment. It is a
pleasing combination of comic opera,
spectacular and vaudeville, with just a
blending of extravaganza. The com
pany carry all their own special scen
ery, and the costumes worn by the
girls are gorgeously handsome and
modest. During the action of the
play taking specialties will be intro
duced by the vaudeville members of
the company among them all the
latest eastern successes, London's
latest craze, Tommy Atkin's touch
boys and girls, the famous Gaiety
dance, and the Polka Dot girls.
