with his performers as an individual
manager, unhamDered by any alliance
with the syndicate.
MT. Fynes said that Mr.. Proctor for
some time had contemplated Withdrawing
from the association. II was simply a
business move on his part to supply
amusement this summer. with drama and
vaudeville. The public would be benefit
ed by the fact that Mr. Proctor would be
able to carry out his own ideas, based
On an experience of a quarter of d cen

particular style OF amusement, and CoJftd
