My Wife's Mother at Opera House Delights Large Audience
A packed audience last night enjoyed the musical comedy My Wife's Mother presented by Mr. and Mrs. Chick and company with Miss Rogers and Robert Cosatley praised for their singing. The show featured Mrs. Chick in magnificent costumes and Prof Schrieber’s orchestra. Tonight's encore, A Green Eyed Monster, is billed as even funnier. A rock quarry crew arrived to begin work on the Navasota Madisonville branch, with another crew expected soon. A farmers’ pricing note contrasts 75 pound pigs at $2.25 with 159 pounders at $9.00.
