resounded to the sound Of Irish
Jewish comedy and laughter for 23O
weeks. Business is continuing at ap-
proximately $4,000 a week, according

figure, and the play probably will
continue three years; then others
said four. Now every wise fellow is

both Pittsburgh and Detroit. and nine
weeks in Denver, will be at the city

lost was uncertain today, owing to "a
break in telegraphic and telephone
services, it was believed there had
been many deaths. II the prelimin-
AIRY reports filtering into Belgrade
are borne out it is possible that the
dead may total hundreds.
Relief trains dispatched by the Jugo
Slav government were held up by
breaks in the lines, rails being ripped
up in many places.
Twelve persons are known to have
lost their lives in Sarajevo, when tons

10 Shocks in 20 Minutes
The quake was ushered in by per-
iod Of spectacular lightning in a
clOudless sky which was followed by
10 shocks in 20 minutes.
The widespread nature of the quake
and the serious damage it caused
were indicated today by reports COM
ing in from various sections of the
Balkans.
In Metk0vitch, Dalmatia, the post
office, railroad and telegraph office
collapsed but the number of dead
was not known. A tobacco factory
in Ljubinje was destroyed, several
persons killed and many injured. All
the dwellings in Popovopolic and
Perkovitch collapsed, burying inmates.
Shocks lasting nine seconds occurring
in Mostar caused the population to
flee to the streets, where the peasants
knelt down crying that the end of
the world had come. Many houses
collapsed in the city and thousands
are homeless. In Phanta, four were
killed and many injured while at
Anselfeld the earth parted and swol-
