Charles K.! went into the scheme and they took! over the house. Immediately It began to play to capacity. And thereby hangs a tale. The house belonged to a German. Hevhad refused to display the United , States flag in it and his business; had dropped to next to nothing. That was the reason he sold out for a} song—from the songwriter.

Wagenhals & Kemper have engaged the Lberty Quartet, composed of Will- fam Williams, Joseph Weston, Louls Fletcher and Timothy J. Daley, to ap- as soldiers and sing appropriate songs in the Sergt. pey-Rose Stahl comedy, “Pack Up Your Trou- was bles.” UNIONS CONCEDE A POINT.
