There need be no speculation re-
garding the merits of the comedy-ro-
nance, Monsieur Beaucaire, that WIZ
occupy serious attention at the audl-
| torium next Thursday evening Tor nc

Rod. Neither need there be the
slightest misgivings concerning the
| ability of Creston Clarke to win with
II the same amount of prosperity as
characterized its keeping in the hands
