A detail of 500 policemen was given

lines or to enter the Coliseum unless
he has the official ticket. &

his friends or relatives unless they
have tickets and no one of you must
enter the hall unless you are detailed
to DO so.

one is allowed to smoke in the build

pipe, cigar or cigarette
Detectives from Chicago and other
cities were assigned to go through the
crowds in search of pickpockets. Doz-
ems of known thieves are already
locked up in city police stations and
the number is hourly being added to
by the force of one hundred or more
plain clothes men.

Marion Crawford's world famed
story of the conflict twixt love and

cry view of placing upon the stage
the vital scenes as depicted by the
author in such manner as could not

Vile the scenes of the play take

Ipains SO that the entire atmosphere
might be transplanted into any part
