A October 16 1902 item reviews Warde and James touring The Teapest with scenic effects and ballet as main features.

Also notes rising train wrecks, immigrant homeseekers to Pacific Northwest, Harvey Scott political hints, labor riots, forest reserves, tax debates, and church entertainments in London.
