the Fairgrounds going until the first
OF September. Then few might be
maintained, but Mrs Stallinss. pres.
ident OF the commission. said it
would not be fair To close some and
maintain the others, and therefore
all would have to close.
The records OF the commission
show there are ten Fairgrounds being
operated now. OF which one is for No
gro children. and there are two that
could be opened if funds for their
equipment were available. The total
appropriation OF the city Tor the play
grounds is but $ill5. There IS the
manager. whose salary is $1,000 a
year, and a director on each of the
grounds who receives $50 pcr month
and the physical Instructor who re
ceiyes $40 per month The manager
also keeps the books and the gen
eral charge of equipment. The man
ayers salary could be saved if some
public spirited citizen would volun-
teer to do the work without salary.
II was reported at the meeting that
the owners Of the Aleiers property on
which the playground is situated have
served notice that the grounds must
be vacated July Il. and unless the
city authorities can find another place
or some citizens come forward and |
donate plCt Of ground there will he
no Algiers playground. and the ap- !
paratus will have to be stored.

COMING TO THE
TEMPLE THEATRE


Robert Sherman, the Chicago The
atrical Producer, is fast forging to the
front. When the present theatrical
season opened, he was one of the few
producers in the West with the courage
to launch more than one show. Mr..
Sherman produced several and his
efforts have been crowned with success
His latest Production is "The Girl With
out Chance, the great white slave
play which comes to the Temple Thea
tire for one night, Tuesday, Sept. 10Th.
This play is from the pen of an un-
known author but Mr.. Sherman had
read it. He saw the great pleasing
qualities of the story. He saw the
wonderful moral lesson il carried, and
with the courage typical OF the Western
er, he launched it with a splendid
scenic equipment, and it has proven
successful even beyond his most
sanguine hopes. In every city where
this play has been seen, the press has
been enthusiastic in its praise. White
Slave societies throughout the country
have endorced it and today it is one Of
the few real successes of the year
