ture and all other details, a proper ard
fitting amusement offering with which to
entertain local theatregoers during the
holiday season. In announcing his attrac-
tions for this week Mr. Chase makes the
claim that they are the most expensive
and the offering altogether one of the
very best he has presented TO his patrons
this season. The event extraordinary is
