carried out free the clubhouse of the

OF $4,000 Some of the actors who form the club

"all star" cast that played "The Rivals year

mortgage by giving an "all star" minstrel per-
formancc. The whole affair Is st for the most
part In the air, but already il has been suggested
That DE Wolf Hopper would make capital in
terlocutor. that Nat Goodwin and Stuart Robson
would prove decorative to the ends OF the line and
that Il few such persons as Henry h. DiXcy, Dan
Daily and Dave" Warheld might be scattered
along between. IL the plan is carried out at all 1t

Klaw Sc Erlanger heard OF the scheme they at once
offered to manage the company to advance the
whole $4,000 10 the club at once. and then to try
to get II back In tho way OF profits. This would
seem 10 make the way easy for the actors TO pay

exact amount OF the deficit. The shortage is some
what larger than the officials had expected to find.
Mr.. Sullivan says that he IS held responsible for
the finances Of the Offices. and that the Govern

has ar. Casey's bond, signed by d trust company,
