Herbert Ba-hford's name as author
was not sufficient to draw very large
audience for Honorable John North"
at the Olympia Theater, Saturday
night, and it is we'll that it was so, for
it was poorly presented and fell fiat
before those who were so unfortunate
as to have paid their good money for
admission. 1t is reported that the
company has since stranded in Sc.
attic. Bashford is "poet," and we
therefore suggest this couplet as an
epitaph for his dramatic aspirations:
:" ii it was so soon to be done for,
. what was it begun for?."
