Hotel St Regis An Ideal Stopping place

The discriminating theatregoer does
not depend upon the travelling show
when he wants to see and hear the finest

metropolis and witnesses these produc-
tions at the scene of their triumphs and
while they are played by the actors and
actresses whose art has made them cele-
brated. There are many who do this
yearly, and who spend from a week to
month in the metropolis during the
dramatic season. 1t will be welcome news
to these to learn that for the winter of
1909-10 the dramatic offerings in New York
city promise to be far above the aver
age. Theatregoing visitors to New York
will find it to their advantage to note
another fact-that the Hotel st. Regis. at
Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street. is
most conveniently situated as a stopping
place, being within a few minutes ride

with paying IS for our hack hats" and
$3.50 for our best" shoes, alas so long
ago that we are almost ashamed to
speak of it nowadays.
My friend to whom paid my visit, and
from whom I learned much, had upset
