5 ROTER TROUP! °f ACROBATS
THK KKOSi ROVER
NEXT DOOR!
The famous BHOTHEKS ROYKK, will
shortly appear at the Opera House, in
their acrobatic Farce Frolic, NEXT
DOOR. The piece is an acrobatic pro
duction on the order ofß Bells, Daly's
Vacation and Upside Down, and con
tains many features, prominent among
them being the Royer Troupe of Acro
bats. The funny trick bathing scene,
the haunted house, the funny mule and
the wonderful leaping scene, all going
head first through a second story win
dow. A feature in itself is the beauti
ful costumes and scenery. The piece
is, without doubt, one of the very best
on the road.
