Harmony and enthusiasm were
marked characteristics of the meet
ing. Siravelle's production of Romeo
and Juliet at the Opera House Tues
day evening, proved to be a pleas
ing attraction. The audience was
not large. This was due to two
reasons. First because the weather
was bad, and secondly because peo
ple who subscribed for tickets did
not purchase them. The list con
tained the names of at least seventy
five of our theatre going people,
and represented the sale of one
hundred and fifteen reserved seat
tickets. The manager of the troupe
counted on this number being pre
sent. He was disappointed how
ever, as not more than ' twenty of
the subscribers called for their
seats. ,
