Jealousy and quarrels in the
ranks of the company caused the
dissolution of that body at Grass

that he would go to San Jose and
organize another outfit. Several of
the actors did not speak to each
other off the stage and there were
many bitter quarres behind the
scenes and in the dressing rooms.
Even when the company was in To-
nopah there We're quite number of
differences that never reached an

While many of the local people
were not interested in the company.
nearly everyone was interested in

that If she would only return here
and play alone, she would draw a
crowded house each evening.
