this part, ^eggy ^ord, cast as the
tyrannlcal...old-maid aunt, was with
drawn from the cast, and Martha

Emmitte Harrison was withdrawn,
leaving vacant the part of Joe, the
kindly pseudo-uncle of the ^rincess^
Ber. Reeves has taken over this role.
This upheaval of the cast caus

because the new members v;ill be
handicapped in starting from
scratch, whereas the others in the
cast had several rehearsals last

changes were made^ They are, nev

■‘Bach, Chopin, Paderewski, and other
imasters of music during his regular
Iprogram; but "the Plight of the
