"A Prince Of Sweden" which was
played here Monday night was above
the average. The extremely cold weather
and the inability Of the janitor to keep
the opera house warm made it uncom-
Portable for the audience and on that ac-
count the play could not be appreciated
as well as it would have been under
more favorable weather conditions. The
company, however, is one Of merit and
each member is a good stage artist.
