THEATRICAL COMPANY LOSES

THEATRICAL COASANY I0AER
A capable company of theatrical
people from Wiley produced "Dia-
monds and Hearts" at the opera
house last Friday. but when the
last ticket was taken noses were
counted and it was found that, with
the exception of the small boys
who worked their way in, there was
but a bakers dozen present.
MI. F. A. Risinger, who tried his
best to gather up q fund jointly for
the Mothodists and Dunkards of
Wiley by giving this entertain
ment, was forced to acknowledge
that he had been buncoed in adver-
tising his show-that nine-tenths
of the people of the Holly district
we're unaware of excellent Wiley
talent at the house.
The loss Of money by the Wiley
people in Holly is simply another
black eye for the local theatre,
simply because Of the incompetency
OF those responsible for the shows
advertising.
