this afternoon commenced their own
management of the Playhouse. in
which theatre they hold a majority of
the stock, the contract of Ford and
Hicks having expired last night. The
owners of the theatre intend to i'm
prove the theatre and the line of pic
lures that are shown there and hope to
give the patrons some highclass en-
tertainments in the coming months.
| They also believe that the patrons
would enjoy some Legitimate shows
and plan to book these as fast as they
can during the winter months. They
have been booking up some of them for
two months and will probably an.
nounce something along this line short
| ly. They will probably open their 9th
er house nights when the road shows
are appearing in the Playhouse.
