The public seems in some way to
/ have gained the wrong impression re-
garding The Sunny Side of Broad

made such big hit in Davenport
| on the occasion of its first presenta-
tion there last September, that it
plays return engagement in that

der as Little Johnny Jones" "Three
Twins District Leader, etc, etc.
