the Standard Theatre. This makes the
production of American works larger
than any of us can remember within such
q short space of time. Of course it is
nothing to make very great boast about

of the largest dealers in imported plays

purchase or bid for foreign works will
have little competition from me- look

The priest was ready without fail
To make TINT girl his bride.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to got the girl
A mnster OF romantic blood

He knew quite well the Plumed knight laI
