for every inch of room is needed for
paid sIttings, and there is not to be a
complimentary ticket in the house. AS
the singers and players all give their
services Ia a spirit that does honor to
their hearts, and as they want the gift
to tell for the most dollars possible, the
probability is that not one Of them will
g:umble if Aley do not get front seats,
or any at all, as every last one of them
