Manager Carlisle says he has re-
ceived a communication from the Of
flee OF the United Play Company say
ing that it was just possible they
might be able to arrange a date for
THE Lion and the Mouse" These are
the kind and quality of attractions
we want in our city.
Probably no play has ever been pro-
duced in America in the last fifty
years that has created the profound
interest as has Charles Klein's drama
"The Lion and the Mouse" 1t deals
with politics and high finance and has
in a measure set in motion many in
vestigations in this country. The play
will have a long life in America.
