q big success He said it was his idea that
each theatre in town have a booth. which
would be presided over by the actresses play

This brought opposition. some mana
gers thinking the actresses should take part
There were Others who approved of IT, and

fair, but the suggestion was frowned down.
MIR. Il. O. Stanton said that there was not
sufficient time between now and December
TO make arrangements for such big under
taking.
Finally committee. consisting Of Messrs.
