My Friend From India
Tonight — At Empire Theater, “My Friend From India.”
The play at the Empire Theater last evening was DuSouchet’s farce-comedy, “My Friend from India,” which is playing Holyoke at popular prices. The play is well staged , and the audience that braved the weather to attend were apparently well satisfied with the performance. It will be repeated this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening.
