Miss Marion Elmore and Mr.. J. w. |
Mackey have left the Edouiu party, their |
last appearance with the company being
Sunday evening. The official reason for |

sponsible is that of economy on the part of |
the management. The company plays in Mil |
waukee three nights this week, and |
then goes into "one-night-stand" cir |
cult BeilevIng that expenses could be |
curtailed without causing a similar dimInu- |
ton OF business. Edouin reconstructed |
Dreams, taking the part OF the "Photo-
grapher" himself, and condensing the sketch |
in many ways The revised edition was re- |
hearsed last week, and will hereafter be |
given, with what success remains to be seen. |
Ii is currently reported that Miss Elmore |
was not at all averse to leaving the troupe, |
as since Joining it she has been given very |
little chance to display her undoubted abii- |
tiles, Alice Atherton being put forward at |
her expense. The part of the "Photo-
grapher" is really the bsst in the piece, and |
Edouin has been for some time arranging TO
take it.
