with her tilirty-six electoral votes. Her

She swung far one way In favor OF
Cleveland and far the other way in
favor Of Mckinley. In no State do the
votes so often change from ono party

The building OF tho Grand Theatre in
the heart of the Ghetto makes now
epoch In the history OF the YiddIsh
stage In New York. Hitherto these ex-
patriated players have been sheltered in
buildings first reared for the drama In
the vernacular. From the historic old
Bowery up to the Peoples the Yiddish
players came after the other actors had
retired. Never before have they had a
temple Of their own drama built for
their use. That such an institution can
be supported Is evident to anybody who
has passed through the region In which
these theatres exist Pictures Of tho
popular actors are as much on view as
they are on upper Broadway. Crowds
gather about the entrances. and long
after the other theatres arc closed the
Yiddlsh actors are still entertaining their
audiences. 1t Is frequently / o'clock
before thelr, performances end and they
begin se@ an earlier hour than any OF
th .,Iish theatres. These hours are
,ie remarkable In view Of the fact
that the audiences are made up almost
exclusively Of person. , who have to
work very hard and begin very carly In
the morning. The Ylddish theatres in
New York are more numerous and pros
porous than those of any other city In
the world.
