would be 90 cents each.
He asked for the manager, Mr..
London, who told him that the
theatre reserved the right to
charge any price to their colored
patrons.
DR.. Milton called an officer, but
the officer told him that he could
not do anything with the manag-
er. He suggested the doctor
should see the prosecutor.
