A Royal Slave Impresses Fair Audience at Opera House
Gordon and Bennett presented the romantic play A Royal Slave to a fair sized crowd at the opera house. The production pleased all, with a strong company and thrilling drama. F E Daly and Miss Helen Brandon gave notable specialties, and lavish scenic effects illustrated old Mexican cruelties. The troupe returns next year for The Holy City, with manager Moore aiming to book them again. Lieutenant Colonel Bishop, once a city resident, is seen as a popular candidate if Colonel Caughlan is not re elected. A Des Moines meeting will reorganize the Iowa National Guard association to promote welfare and legislative action.
