In regard to its booking of theatrical

about four years behind the procession.
With some few exceptions, the bookings
of the Grand opera house this year are
practically the same as they have been
for the past three or four years. Some

have been booked even for the fifth

If Manager Farland will take the time
to pick up any current issue of any Of
