and during the week business was fair The
agreement between the home manager and
the company was that the latter should re-
ceive 80 per cent. Of the door receipts. When
the time drew near last evening for the cur

two managers about the percentage, and the
consequence was the curtain did not rise.
The audience, numbering 200 was notified
that the admission money would be refunded
at the box office. There was great rush
and many of the patrons failed to see it
materialize This ended the engagement of
the O'Neill Dramatic Company which was
composed largely of Giardvile and Shenan-
