various manufacturing plants had
exploded. But all these reports were
false, leaving the sole conclusion that
1t was an earthquake. This section

concerning this remarkable produc-

thoroughly disseminated here. That it
is an unusually attractive show is
proven by the fact of it's extraordinary
success veerywhcre. In this respect
TIE rec0nd of "C'oming Thru' the Rye
Las probably never had parallel in
The history OF musical comedy. II mas
enjoyed long runs in New York. Bos
ton, Chicago and Philadelphia. and il
has been repeated four and five times
in the larger communities known in
theatrical parlanc as 'one night
towns" aud these return engagements
have invariably resulted in crowded
houses These are the substantial
convincing evidences of genuine mer-
it in show and as they are so CON
spicuously present In the long career
of Coming Thro' the Rye" Il may be
taken for granted that something un.
usual in theatrical productions is at
Land. II IS known that we are to have
number one company of rs comedians
singers and dancers, and the original
nttronGiitian production I'm every de-
tail Hence, there can be no misgiv.
