The prince of Montenegro is said to

to clear up the precsrious condition

Reports indicate that affairs in Ser

that they are causing great anxiety IN

the action Of the city council which
has finally adopted a stringent theHter
law. The announcement is made at
nearly every playhouse that under the
new ordinance there is no hope of.eon-
tinuing in business. The retroactive
provisions OF che measure put the old
er thosters beyond the hope OF again
opening their doors. In the modern
theaters the improvements snd alterA-
tions required will make il impossi-
Bile. the managers say, to operate with

THE ENGLISH"
About $1,000 Reported Sub
scribed Of$1O.0OO Promisedn
So Says the Henderson Daily Clean.
or, of Wednesday.

The Cleaner is informed that the
subscription SO far to the opera house
fund aggregates something near seven
thousand dollars leaving the alwa Us
tine most difficult part of the required
amount yet to be raised. Considering
the depressing effect the loss of the
Park Theater had upon Henderson as
. community, il does seem reasonable
that the people would fairly jump at .
proposition looking to the replacement
of the much loved old theatre by an
other its equal in every way and its
superior in many other respects, and
that, too, when it is known that the
terms are both liberal and safe as
promised by The j. L. English Thea
tire Co., of Paducah.
There was but little-really none
difficulty experienced in raising a sim
liar amount few years back and upon
terms not so liberal or safe as those
now offered by the committee. The
opportunity is with US and it IL for
us TO say whether we shall embrace
il.
\ fine up-to-date theatre will prove
not only u fine advertisement for
the city but a source of great pleas
ure to every amusement loving citi-
zen. therefore, what is the pitiful
amount asked of each citizen when
compared with all the good things
to flow from having such an institu-
tion in our midst. 1t is discredita-
BILE. to say the least, for a city Of
Herderson's pretensions, to b. forced
to 60 along without q place calling
for the best talent on the road and
safe enough to make every one feel
that he is safe from any such horror
as was recently enacted at Chicago.
Men of Henderson, do not delay the
matter. the sooner you respond to the
appeals Of the committee the better for
the city and every interested citizen.
The Cleaner hopes ere the end Of
the week to report the required amount
secured. In thst event "all is well. I"
