competeted for at prices 20 and 30 per cent

shares at S125 share. Those who own a

to the show, and those who own more
than five shares become directors
of the great company. The man who
owns more than $1,000 in shares becomes
president, manager and treasurer and this
is Mr.. Tom Lee On the opening night at
the little theatre a general invitation is ex-
tended to all the Chinese business men of
Mott street to attend free of all charge,

ladies, as usual, will not be allowed to attend
any of these performances, as the Chinese
merchants, unlike their Caucasian brethren,
believe that the only way to avoid trials and
tribulations in their domestic peace is to
keep their attractive spouses securely locked
within doors.
