The fourth season of the Albee Stock
which will bring sincere regret to thou
sands OF local playgoers- No theatrical
organization ever has held the firm place
In the favor OF Providence playgoers that
these clever favorites have. and their
place is not likely to be filled until they
return to the Keith stage next spring.
II is gratifying 10 know that this season
is the most successful financially on
record since the organization Of stock a
Keith's, which proves the growth OF pop
ularity OF the Incompatible players. This
remarkable financial success Is the more
amazing when the warm weather OF the
month OF July is remembered and the
elaborate and expensive scenic produc-
tons, with special casts, OF several OF the
big productions OF the season are taken
into consideration. The tremendous de-
mand for seats for the different perform
ances next week evidences the desire OF
everyone here 10 help In the rouslng fare
well ovations which are certain TO be given
the popular players at every performance.
and doubtless the florists around town
will have a very busy week. for last
weeks OF tho Albee company have come
TO mean bombardments Of floral tributes
and gifts OF various kinds.
