A special train viii carry the Little
Memo" company and production to SYRIA
cuse. where is will open the tour of the
musical comedy during fair week. More
than $50 players are in the cast. Only

melOdrama ever offered in this country.
The play is in four acts and fourteen
the hero over a waterfall and the sink
ing of a troop ship with all on board after
a collision in midOcean. The dog dinner
and the rhodOdendrOn gardens at Wind

setting for the show are well known TO
