When she played before, it was in
Columbia Hall, and under surround
ings that did not do justice to her
great artistic powers. Miss Granger
is we'll supported and the play is
favorite. having had q greater run
than any other modern drama.
BURNED FINGERs.-It seems that
the managers of Unity Auditorium
got their fingers burned while dabbling
with matters that do not generally ap-
pertain to church matters. They ex-
pected to accomplish mastery stroke
of business policy by inducing the
violinist, Remenyi, to give his perfor-
nance in their house. To do this
they had to pledge sum OF 1925;
but 10 and behold! when the perfor-
nance came off. notwithstanding the
most vigorous and persistent "drum-
ming" the receipts fell about 500
short OF the guaranty. 1t is usual in
such cases, with reputable managers
to "put up" the deficiency and say
nothing about it. But this, we I'M
derstand, the religio-secular manage
ment did not do, leaving complicated
question of responsibility to be settled
with the Redpath agency for such en-
tertainments.
WHERE IS THoMPsoN.-J. A. Kerr,
an attorney of Fairhaven, appeared
before the Land Commission, Wednes-
day, and asked permission to amend a
certain application for the purchase
of tide lands made by the Fairhaven
Land Company. According to the
statements of Mr.. Kerr, the land COM
pany mentioned is poorer by $4,000
than it was short time ago, owing to
the absence of II. White Thompson,
Esq. Mr.. Thompson was in the SER
vice OF the land company, and at the
same time looked after the interests of
Jim Hill, at Fairhaven. Some time
ago, 80 it is claimed, Thompson was
given $1,000 with which to make first
payment on tide lands purchased by
the land company. and it was thought
that the payments had been duly
made. Afterward President Larrabee, |
of the land company, received COM
munication from the State Treasurer,
inquiring about the money. 1t should |
have been paid to the Treasurer by |
Thompson. Mr.. Larrabee at once de- |
manded an explanation. Thompson
said the money was on deposit in
Olympia and had not been turned over
to the Treasurer. While the President
was investigating the matter further,
Thompson disappeared. There was
much surmise as to the cause of his
disappearance. Nobody seemed able
to explain. President Larrabee had a
very good idea, however, what caused
it. Thompson is well known in the
cities OF the Sound. He is said to be
n brother OF the Thompson, banker, of
