been the change Of management at the
Thompson & Dundy. The story, as related
in theatrical circles is to the effect that
John w. Gates and the banking interests
which have been financing the Hippo
drome have been dissatisfied because the
managers have been spending too much
money at the Hippodrome. The explana-
ton, as given out by Thompson & Dundy
is to the effect that they have been too
busy with other interests. No matter

that the other things in which Thompson
