number OF people braved the chilly |
blast to see ga Daughter OF Satan,"
presented by Mr.. Lennon and /
company. The plot Of the play was
not very well received, being along |
the lines that is not particularly
popular with the public idea. The !
parts that we're assumed by the !
various members of the company |
were we'll given. as has been the
case since the company came here.
MI. Lennon and Miss Plunkett were
exceptionally good as usual, and the
support was all that could be desired. |
Since The Capital inaugurated the
method of requiring subscribers tol
pay their subscriptions in advance
we have received a number Of letters
from our friends congratuIating US on
the move. They all declare it is one
in the right direction, and that 1t
will result in good for both parties
concerned. No subscriber will feel
that he is having the paper forced on
him at the end Of his subscription,
and they can rest assured that the
paper will be stopped at the end OF
the year. At the commencement of
this plan some showed resentment at
having their paper stopped, thinking
the management was afraid to trust
any individual for his subscription.
That is not the idea at all. With as
large a list Of subscribers as The Cap
ital has the list must be handled as a
whole. The address and date to
which your paper is paid IS printed
on the first page Of the paper each
week, and you can easily tell when it
will be necessary to send the dollar to
keep your name on the list. We are
proud to say that There is not one
subscriber in arrears on our books.
