"a great square tent as fine and COM
Portable and pleasing to the eye and
senses, as is the finest church ever
built. The coloring, the modern
lighting and seating, the beautiful
platform with it's rolling curtain, and
the lighting effects as fine as are to
be found anywhere. Last year we
put over great program, but this
years program stands IN class by
itself. The blending of nights show
how well balanced is the program.
Each night follows in order, opera, a
refined miniature show, orchestra,
band. celebrity and play. If this

Standard gives more than is promised,
