An important point that should not
be lost sight of Is that upon the finan-
cial success Of the drama will depend
to great extent whether or not active
work will be taken toward the erection
Of new armory; and, If this feature is

for which the performances are given
and assist by their attendance and work
in insuring the success of the move
ment.
