Immediately invested something like
100000 in seats and have had no reason
to regret their expenditure to date. This
strange success. however, may in part
be accounted for by the extraordinarily
good cast which was provided by the

W. Savage's partner in London. All
the evidence points towards the conclu
sion that he knew he had a weak piece
