Lake ,heater orchestra takes the lead,
ana visiting musicians say It is the
largest theatcr orchestra west Of the
Mississippi river. This at first thought
might appear TO be mistake, until II

threatened to discharge all the musi-
clans and hire a pianist TO furnish all

pretty sure to be adjusted satisfactor-
