Newman, in his claim to fame, is
indebted to the avaricious designs OF
Senor Venustiano Carranza and the

to see the children received proper
attention. Long before the time for
the curtain to rise the boys and girls
came trooping along by twos and

members. Into the theatre they
piled and many of the seats were two
