surprise when reached the window that the best
seats in that part of the house, which, by the
way, was the less expensive part, had been dis
posed Of although ali the people in front Of me
had purchased in the lower part of the house.
This fact, in connection with a discovery which I
made few days ago when calling at a well known
ticket agency. where, If I not mistaken. former
