weeks Of the Summer season come to an
end this evening, but by special request
OF numerous patrons who wish to see
the organization in one Of its most sue
cessful bills. "A Scrap Of Paper" the
kendalls' clever comedy, will be present-
ed for brief period. Last year the piece
was played during one of the hottest
weeks OF the engagement. and as a re-
suit many people missed seeing what
was In many respects. the finest stock
production ever put on in this city.
With the present organization there is
small doubt but that even that record
can be improved upon. William Ingersoll
and James o Barrows, in their original
roles, viii be REINFORCED by Maud Has
lam. Mrs. Findlay, and Alex. Kearney
IN the parts formerly played by Alberta

The piece was always a favorite play
Of the kendalls' repertoire during their

winner when presented by such COM

of this clever organization. which has
provided Washington with high-class
amusement since April.
