The citizens of Woodstock Ont, re-

company with him is Reuben Fax. well
remembered for his excellent work with
William Gillette, and in moments of
recklessness Fax has admitted that
earlier in his career he occupied the
position of leading tenor in a promi-
nent Woodstock church choir.
With the foresight that has made
him Kirke La Shelle's chief publicity
promoter, Fulton called on the pastor
of the church in question and informed
him that Mr.. Stoddart would hold the
first dress rehearsal of his birthday
anniversary on the night of the local
engagement.
