Miss Van Tassell does not come to
us as a stranger as her reputation was
established several years ago in this
city. Since her last visit here she has
been playing in all ot the leading
theatres in the large cities and has es
tablished herselt as a recognized ac
tress which she deserves. This is
her first trip South in seven years
and she is now in the section where
her abilities were first recognized and
the citizens of Wilson should turn out
and give her a hearty reception. Miss
Van Tassell is a Southern girl, hav
ing bjen born near Nashville, Tenn.,
and through her own efforts and
ability, has placed herself in the front
rank of her protesssion.
The opening play will be "The
Hidden Hand," which is a story cf
Southern life. During the action of
the play she and other members of
her company introduce entirely new
and up to-datet songs and danc s,
which cannot fail to please. She is
supported by a company of high-class
artists and our citizt-ns may look tor
ward to a dramatic treat. Popular
prices will prevail whii h places these
performances within the reach of all.
There will be a change of plays
