One of the treats in store at the Peo-
pies is the performance of 'Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" with TheO Hamilton in
the leading role. Just before he came
to the Peoples Mr.. Hamilton closed a
very successful engagement in the East
as star in company producing the
famous character drama. The news
papers of New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia in particular speak of MIR.
HamiltOn's representations in the high
est terms. John L. Ford, the veteran
manager, in letter from Baltimore, re-
Gently wrote:
