1t is unnecessary to say that the
charity is a deserving one, and un-
necessary to urge the public to attend
At the same time we call attention to
the face that quite number of good
seats remain downstairs, and at least
half of the dress circle is at the dis
posal of purchasers. while the balcony
contains many desirable seats at $1.OO
and $2.00. Those who desire a good
show worth twice the money should at
tend the Mason on Monday evening.
Great praise is due Edgar Temple,
the director. for the very excellent
showing made at the last rehearsal by
those clever amateurs. 1t Is through
his splendid work that these acts have
been brought to perfection.
