Mrs. NJ. Ed. Wilson directed the or
cbestra. and the music was good. One
of the chief faults the first night was
with the music, but there was naught
about the orchestra's work during the
second performance to detract from
the effectiveness of the play.
The two audiences that have seer
the play were not large enough to pay
all the expenses of the production. For
this reason the Fair Association Off
GERS trust that there will be a great
response on Tuesday night and that
the grandstand will be packed. AS the
play is generally pronounced excellent
and as there is every prospect fol
even greater improvement, they fee
that they are justified in asking that
the people patronize it. 1t is giVer
for the benefit of the Fair Association
and it is yet hoped that profit may
be realized.
1t was the plan to have a matinee
this afternoon, when reduced prices
would prevail. After consultation
however, it was determined to cal
off the matinee, as the play, with its
scenic effects, is distinctly for the night
