Over To Somerset
About 75 Ligonier People See "Broadway Girl" At Somerset Opera
The first "theater train" ever run out of Ligonier over the new P. W. & S. railroad took place last Friday evening when about 75 of Ligonier's leading people availed themselves of the special train and attended the show at Somerset. Druggist R. A. Wilt, of this place, secured a block of choice seats from the management of the Somerset opera house and through his efforts succeeded in sending a nice delegation to Somerset.
The "Broadway Girl" was the attraction and was highly enjoyed by everybody. Owing to a freight car getting off the track on the other side of the mountain the train was delayed somewhat on the return trip, but everybody took it good naturedly and arrived
home safe and well pleased. It is hoped by Ligonier people that similar trips will follow this winter.
