There must be q first time to every

Mutt and JEFF" company to be the
first theatrical company ever to put
Circus company completely out OF
business. These are facts. A well
known Circus and Menagerle was
billed. to appear in South Carolina
town on the same night with Mutt
and Jeff," the irrepressible. AS
consequence, show time came and
passed; the band played their over
ture to three men, two women and two
children on the seats. The Circus
owner, manager and ring master
were tearing their hair in mental an
guish, with but three dollars In the
ticket wagon. To make it short. the
entire aggregation, audience Of seven,
performers, band and crew, all "hit
the trail" for the Opera House to see
the show that could get their goat, =
and their anger was subdued to a
certain extent by two and oneshalf
hours hearty laugh. But "eats' cer-
tainly looked to be in the dim and
misty distance after that experience.
Half of the money in their jeans
was spent in a telegram to the ad-

against Mutt and JEFF" in any town.
