been playing the theatre for white

Naturally q great hullabaloo was
raised when it was believed that
such widely divergent prices were
being charged the two racial

Moe Gale, head of the Gale Inc.
stated vehemently that his attrac-
ton has never played in New Or

the firm is bringing suit against the
group which is posing as the orig
inal -Four InkspotS. He is also su-
ing the theatre for trading on the
