Two stories, antipodal IN character ~

but because Mr.. DAILY left the thestrt
bookings in such a shape that Tiers b \
nothing to be done In that line until ths
opening of the season of 1900-1sol. IN
artists who credit this story point to IL
late Mrs. John Drew, who Successfully
managed the old Arch Street theatcr. d
