GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


Elmer e. Vance, manager Of "Limited
Mail, Is a living testimony to the truth
OF the assertion 80 often made that "blood
will tell" and that pluck and energy will
push itself to the front. July 8lst, 1890,
Manager Vance was q night telegrapher
and train dispatcher at the Union depot,
Columbus, o., on salary Of $50 u month.
During his leisure moments, and amid tho
click of instruments, he wrote what has
proven the most phenomenal, artistic and
financial theatrical success Of the century.
The Limited Mail'-which has Melted
him over 500, 900 In four years, and has
not as yet shown any evidence Of waning
popularity. On the contrary last season,
which was an exceptionally hard one on a
majority of theatrical ventures, was even
better than tho previous tour. "The Liml.
