PATRONS DISAPPOINTED.
Vaudeville Troupe Refuses to Play Ex-
j. cept in the Open Air.

Many theater gOerS were disappOint-
cd last Saturday evening on account of
the vaudeville troupe, which was at
the Cascade park for the last three
days, refusing to play at the Opera
house on account of the rainy weather.
The management OF the park agreed to
have the company show at the hall if
the weather was stormy and flyers
were distributed in the afternoon an
nouncing the change, which put the
manager of the Opera house to consid-
cradle expense, to say nothing of the
trouble.
The actors did not feel inclined to
play, as they claimed that their con-
tracts called for performances at open
air thoaters and allow them holiday
if the weather is unfavorable. They did
not reach this decision until after their
show had been thoroughly advertised
and all persuasion was useless on the
part Of the managers. The house would
have been taxed to the limit had they
exhibited and as it was the majority
Of the people took in the moving pic
lures. which We're to proceed the vau-
Gcvillc, and were delighted with them.
