"HIGHFLYER" KIND OF SHOWS NOT TO
 BE ALLOWED HERE

Henry B. Harris. lessee and man ager of Jacksons theatre issued a statement today explaining his req sons for closing up the "Highflyers'' burlesque show which appeared for one day at the house. MT. Harris says that no attractions of this class will be tolerated a his theatre. The booking of the ''HighfIyers'' was an inheritance that came to MT. Harris when he assumed control of the thea tre, and he closed the show the mo- ment that he ascertained what kind of a production it was.
 "The financial loss that I incur by this cancellation said MT. Harris, ''is nothing to the loss of confidence in the theatre and myself that might have resulted. I want the public to feel assured that when I advertise a high-c1ass production. it will be of high-c1ass nature, and when the pa irons of the theatre leave their money at the box office they will receive precisely what was promised.''
