Apropos OF the subject Of a benefit for
{ the Randolph sanatorium, discussed IN
e these columns last week, the thought
arises that the long deferred local produc-
o tion of 1.-The Pirates OF Penzance" would
g work in splendidly for an entertainment
whether a bazar was held in connection
!. with il or not. Civic pride and interest,
e altruistic and other vlrtuous impulses
e should make the birds that can sing
warble like nightingales in such a cause,
= and inspire sufficient enthusiasm TO carry
the tedious work oi rehearsals to a tri-
umphant and successful conclusion. The
books are already procured, and all that
is needed is enough public spirit to start
the thing and keep il humming. As the
: sanatorium Is Of general advantage, other
=, parts Of he town would no doubt cheer
fully give comfort and aid to the enter
prise.
