This makes our 91st week without a lay off, and 1 dare say we are doing a wonderful business.* I have added another act to my show: Lee Senney, the wizard at the piano. Mr. Senney was formerly pianist at the opera house in Montevideo, Mion. We have a show thatpacks the houses. Our motto, -Ye• • • ■ ^ t 1pack ’em in” holds good, as we have been playing to S.

Dak., Hub Theatre, Aug. 4-5, Mr. Hubbard, manager. Boys, this was a dandy. We opened on Friday night to a goodcrowd, and Saturday our second night we packed the house to the street: we carried about fifty chairs from the hotel next door to the theatre and filled them; could have filled a hundred more if we had had them. We had opposition here in Uncle Tom's Cabin show under canvas, a merry-go-round and an airdome. The Uncle Tom show didn’t arrive until 7 p. m. and then they came right down within half a block of our theatre and gave a concert, of course we were wide awake, and at the end of each selection played by the “Tom” band, we announced our show from the theatre with a megaphone. What what was the result? °S. R. O., and the Uncle Tom show did not give a performance, as thev onlv had about thirty people. Mr.* Hubbard wants to play us a return date as soon as we can give him one. Next Breck-enridge, Minn., Grand; Mr. Gillis, manager; and some business—we done $61.90 the first night; 164 70 the second night, and 127.40 the third night in a terrible electric storm; it rained and thundered until 9 o’clock. Our lightswent out and we did not get an lights until 9 o’clock, then we opened up.“ If it hadn’t been for the electric storm the manager said we would have beat the hundred mark. Went to Fergus Falls, Minn,, Bijou; Mr. Lawrence, manager. A beautiful house seating about 400; to S. R. 0. tne first night(two shows). Our second night was acorker; another packed house.
