Pantages Theatre, City: Dear Sirs, I've always understood your show is realty pretty 00d; yet I confers, to be precine, I've seen it only once or twice and so I thought I ought to try to tell you what's the reason why I always pass your entrance-way at least a time or two a day; s~and s0, of course, I've always spied the photographs you hang —— to let the passing public know the acts and actors in the show. I stop and look, and always see some acts that make a hit with me; it may be just a couple rows of lingerie anf silken hose, or maybe it's a photograph of some fool stunt to make me laugh. And then I think, “The show's all right—I'll have to take ft in tonight”; but then and there I always find it's up to me to change my mind, for when I take a parting peek I see the fatal words —"“Next Week.” Your pictures never give the facts concerning any current acts; and all the dope I ever get is marked “next week” again—or yet; and that is why I never go to see your vaudevillian show. I don't pretend to know the game, but still I wonder, Just the same, the reason why you don’t display the stuff you've got on hand today, and get my coin before you speak about the show that comes next week. | or your CRAP Book ¥rom Love songs (MaeMilian oo.) a] SWANS BY SARA TEASDALE Night is over the park, and a few brave stars Look on the lights that link it with chains of gold, The lake bears up their reflection in broken bars That seem too heavy for tremulous water to hold.
