The popularity Of this great play
does not seem to wane. Managers
consider it u preferred attraction, and

the merit of the play. there are other
factors that have as much to do with

Manager Brady has kept the cast up
to its original standard of excellence
Every year he has given the play an
entirely new scenic setting and III
every way has given the play the same
