aAs YOU LIKE IT"

Shakespeare's delightful comedy, "a
You Like It." with Alberta Gallatin a
..ROsalind9 and specially selected com
pany, has been announced for an early
production. The tour is under the di.
rection of Mr.. Ernest Shipmau, and is
limited to thirty performances. The de.
mands for this attraction far exceed
the number OF performances to be given
and the cities chosen viii depend greatly
on the prospective receipts, or in Other
words the amount subscribed. The or
Sanization is an expensive one, and
should be encouraged by our leading cit.
zens, scholars and students of English
literature. The play, to such people needs
no introduction, as it is admitted to be
the most enchanting comedy the immor-
tai bard ever wrote. Our city is on the
list, and it is 10 be hoped that definite
date viii soon be announced.

The development companies have en-
tered upon an era of activity which
promises to bring splendid results be-
fore the summer is over, if conserva-
tism is used in the various lines of bust
ness and the government Of the city.
Great care should be exercised not TO
injune the prospects for an active year.
Let every person think well over the
situation and act only in the best in
tcrests of the city. Let every business
man form a part of the march to pro-
gress, and work for the general good.
The prosperity and happiness of one de-
ponds largely upon that of another and
the spirit to array the people against
one another is not commendable, and
should be crushed speedily. Let US all
work together for common good.
