Richards, the Wizard, Is Here.


The Hippodrome stage at eleven
o'clock this morning had been all COM
pleted for the first performance of the
wonderful show the Great Richards
will give to Fairmont the first half of
this week.
In order to accommodate this rather
stupendous production the stage had to
be cleared of every vestige of house
scenery. props AMI even stage crew.
Richards carries everything he needs
with the exception Of the electric cur
rent and that will be supplied by the
house. His Is the mus: independent

theatre is too limited to accommodate
al who will want to see the show, and
as a possible way out of it. arrange

performances daily instead of only two
as on the last trip. They will begin
promptly at three in the afternoon and
at 7:45 and nine o'clock at night. This
the management figures will help
some, but 1t is suggested that as MANY
as possible attend the matinees and the
last night show so as to relieve the 7:45
rush. When this attraction was nae.

ego only two performances were given
each day and on the final day the rush

the night performances. At the matt.

Meanwhile, it was announced, Cuban
producers will make every effort to
forward their new crop as fast as ships
can be obtained. The stringency will
also be further relieved, it was stated,
by the release for domestic consump-

of the fuel administration will also

fixed by the county fueb committee,
Which allowed local dealers to charge
Il profit of 25 cents Il ton on coal in

purchaser. The legal profit is only Is
cents a ton.
