HAS BEEN RAPIDLY PROMOTED ON THE STAGE

The New Play Seems to be a Favorite of the Managers of a Dozen Comic Opera Successes

--

"Miss Marion Granger, a daughter of Maj. Granger who had charge of the Province Placetas during the late Spanish unpleasantness, has been engaged by Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman to play the role of 'Miss Schuyler,' in their elaborate revival of Willard Spenser's 'Miss Bob White.'"

This is one of the press notices sent out by Messrs Nixon & Zimmerman, the great amusement purveyors, who have seven theatres in Philadelphia, two in Pittsburg, two in Baltimore and one in Washington. They are sending out about a dozeen musical shows this year. Marguerita Sylva, who is a favorite actress here, will go out with a new opera, Francis Wilson heads the cast in "Erminie," and Fay Templeton heads the cast in "The Infant Prodigy." But the play they are just now advertising strongly is "Miss Bob White." Another item says:

"Willard Spenser, the composer, and Fred G. Nixon-Nirdlinger, general manager of the Nixon & Zimmerman enterprises made a trip to Buffalo last week, and there secured half a dozen of the handsomest and most competent members of the Francis Wilson and Marguerita Sylva Opera Co. for the forthcoming production of 'Miss Bob White.'"

Miss Marion Granger is better known in Ann Arbor as Miss Luella Granger and her friends here will be pleased to learn of her rapid promotion from the chorus in the Sylva company to a good part in "Miss Bob White."

Manager Seabolt, of the Athens, has booked this company for his Thanksgiving Day attraction.
