EXCEPTIONALLY FINE
ATTRACTION TONIGHT
"The Three of Us" a really refreshing
theatrical breeze which ran for one and
one half years at the Madison Square
theatre. New York is to be presented in
a new up-to-now revised version in the
Auditorium Saturday evening January
23. by the Metropolitan Stock company
Oklahoma City's latest and largest theat-
rical enterprise which after February 1
will occupy permanently a new $75000
home of its own.
Cold weather and a shortage of building
material prevented completion of the
magnificent Metropolitan theatre when
expected consequently the company-
whirh already is coming on from New
York will be en tour for a week
Miss Jessaline Rodgers the leading
wnmnn is of the Julia Marlowe type of
beauty-dainty brown arching dark eyes
which sparkle and captivate. As the
heroine in Rachel Grother's play she
makes a decided hit whether depicting
the emotions of joy love anger or sorrow.
"The Three of Us" is a unique play
one of the kind that catches and holds
folk's fancy the kind one wants to see
again. With a lot of rival lovers trying
to win the heroine's heart and hand
monv dramatic situations arise to be
relieved by a vein of comedy pert and
wholesome that runs through the entire
piece The ending is a happy one though
by no means conventional.
The Quality of the Metropolitan Stock
company and its rT-formance may be
judged from Jie fact that it will apper in
its own playhouse in Oklahoma City
continuously after this week.

ships. Scattered all over Oklahoma are special
