GRAND THEATRE CLOSES

Manager Harding Refuses to
Allow His Patrons to See
Show Scheduled

Manager E S. Harding OF the
Grand theater refused to allow pat
rons of hisr theater to witness the
show scheduled for last evening by
Jack Williams, advertised as the "hu-
man fly" after witnessing the after
noon performance at the theater and
the evening exhibition on the front
of the theater building. Mr.. Harding
holds that Mr.. Williams broke his
contract with him by asking for a
collection from the crowd for the
privilege of seeing the exhibition,
inasmuch as it was supposed to be
a tree attraction.
This collection was made without
prior knowledge of Mr.. Harding and
did not meet with his approval. Nor
was the collection sanctioned by the
local post of the American Legion,
to which Mr.. Williams announced
that 80 per cent of the contribution
would go. The local post had MOTH
ing to do with the collection and as
far as is known received nothing
from it.
Mr.. Harding is to be commended by
his patrons for not allowing them to
witness the show, If the information
given out by him fairly describes the
performance. In the opinion Of many
who say, the afternoon. show and the
evening performances Mr.. Harding
acted very wisely.
