The managers are trying in one way

plays Gradually they are beginning to
feel that IL might be better to have their
efforts fall on more sympathetic cars.
Their wisdom in this matter was shown
by the character OF n first night gather

likely to appreciate this play IL would
be difficult to gather.
The latest device of a manager who
wants his public to be OF the kind that

TO put the tickets into the hands of q

assures them satisfactory seats. SO far
