Edith Formulates Advice.

EDITH THAYER, prima donna of
- Blossom Time," the Franz Schu-
bert operetta coming to Polls Theater
March 9, has formulated certain con-
clusions which she believes will aid
the. theatergoer. This is what she
says:
,'I have noticed the country over
that Monday nights the smallest audi
ences are present This may be due
to various causes. Possibly every one
gets away from his business on Sum
day and comes back to it on Monday
with more or less of a wrench, so
the average person is content to stay
at home on Monday. Yet if the pub
lie would form more of habit OF
going to the theater on Monday gen.
eral conditions would be bettered AS
it is now one easily can obtain better
seats Monday nights than on any other
night. And If man or woman went
feel like going again later in the
week. In this way he would be bet
ter able to keep up with what Is
going on in the world OF the theater.
'Then. again, people have habit
of. rushing to the theater for seats
Every one cannot secure seats for the
holiday and so many are turned
away.

production such as Blossom Time is
a very expensive matter. The man
