whole company have become prime ia

role that permits her to make direct
appeal to the heart and at the same

stock season was closed with this
drama as a sort of trying OUT and
it's reception proved that it was just
what Mr.. and Mrs. Fulton had been
looking for.
AS stated, the regular season began
last Wednesday with a matinee and
night performance, and the Oliver was
racked to the limit on both occasions.
It was splendid tribute to Mrs. Full
ton and the company, and it must
have warmed the cookies of the
charming little woman's heart to see
the friendship displayed and the ap-
probation shown by the hundreds
who came out to see her and wish
