THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME
THE shivering, chattering, rednosed crowd, bundled in furs and great coats, that will soon be shuffling its feet in three inches of snow, will seek the theatre with that good-old-summer-time look. Netschert artificial flowers and natural prepared palms, plants and trees of all kinds provide the means of converting an uninviting theatre into the kind that pleasure seekers want.
