The Supreme Event of Season.
To Our Patrons: We take
this opportunity of announcing
that we have secured the distin- -
guished actress May Stewart
and her excellent company for
Friday night, January 5, at the
Newport Opera House, in an
elaborate scenic production of
the greatest play of the past
century, “Ingomar The Barba
rian,” a romantic and sensation
al chorus by the noted German
Baron Frederick Hoin:
“Two Souls With But a Single
Thought,
Two Hearts That Beat As One.”
Miss Stewart is now regarded
as one of our foremost legiti
mate stars and everywhere she
appears her engagement is made
one of the principal events of
the season.
Miss Stewart is too well
known to need further recom
mendation and a crowded house
may be expected. In order to se
cure choice seats reservations
should be made as early as pos
sible.
Yours very respectfully,
R. G. Parvin, Manager.
