booked for October 9th in "The Mas
ter of Ballantine." FRITZ Scheff will
appear on the next evening, October
2Sth in "Glorianna." This popular
comedy was seen here last year but
because Of illness Miss Scheff was un-
able to appear in the title role. At that
time Miss Scheff was so disappointed
that because of her illness she could
not appear, that she promised the pub

Maysville being included in her tour
this year. She has kept her promise,
according to the booking agency, and
has insisted on appearing in Maysville
carly this year.
"Glorianna' pleased here last year
and 1t is certain to fill the Washington
