half of the company, and told the
audience that 1T was to be under

the local committee that the play
was not given on the evening
scheduled. This mistake was very
cleverly brought in in the course of
the sketch when story was told

to appear and the speaker said that

audience who must know how they
felt about the situation. The auth

takes Its name from Tam, an old
