FRANCIS WILSON is getting the little the
ater that connects with his residence at
New Rochelle in readiness for q spring sea-
son for the benefit of his friends. Homer
Emmons, of the Fourteenth Street Theater,
has painted several scenes for it. Frank w.
Sanger and A. H. Candy are announced as

company will alternate in the character Of
the Jealous Moor
