''The Legend of Montrose." Mr.. Cul-
mer's dramatization of SCOTS novel,
is not to be rendered at the Grand dur
ing conference week after all. When
Mr.. Gunner came to delve into the de-
tails necessary for putting the play on,
he found that the scenery required, the
musical forces necessary, and the sort
of cast he wished could not be obtained
III the time that remained, and he de-
cided on deferring the production to a
more suspicious occasion. We all hope
it will only be a case of postponement
and not of abandonment.

ing 1.-THE safe harbor of a stock position
and embarking upon the uncertain sea
of management. Mr.. Miller has so
