dram Theatre on Wednesday night Of last
week complimentary to the delegates to

: at special performance at the Gondran
next Thursday night, May 10, at s
, o'clock. On the occasion of last week S
s entertainment the theatre was packed to
its utmost capacity and large number
| of people found it impossible to gain adj
3 mittance, and it is to afford these disap-
pointed ones an opportunity to witness
s the pretty little sketch that arrangements
| have been made to repeat portions of the
! interesting program. Moving pictures viii
: also be shown. The admission price S
h will be Is cents for adults and 10 cents
" for children, and the net proceeds will be
: donated by Hubert Treble Chapter, q. D
# G., under whose auspices the entertain
e ment will be given, to Ascension Hook

preston seems to be quite general that
n Hubert Treble Chapter shared in the pro
: ceeds of last weeks entertainment, bul
! such was not the case. The members O
i the chapter and the delegates to the Z
d D. C. convention were admitted to tbs
; theatre free of charge, but apart from thi;
e the Daughters derived nc. pecuniary bene
r fit from the entertainment.
