to say that everybody is interested IN

to be interested that the Women Is club

most fascinating comedies, "A Midsum-
mer Night Dream" at the Grand

popular Of Salem Is entertainers, will do
the reading impersonating each of th'
/ famous characters in the comedy. Those
who have heard Mrs. Fish in dramatic
readings are aware Of the cleverness
with which she "puts over play
single .handed-that is, all by horsef-
