1e@s that the public was at first startled
by its seeming audacity, but it stood the
test of every criticism that prudery could
invent and has received the stronget en-
dorsements from intelligent and thought
full perfol .ners every where. The co m
pany selected for this seasons produc-
tion of Sowing the Wind" is high
