Though the regular Summer season for Green Mill Garden opened May 30, the "sunken garden,** the most popular part of the resort in torrid weather, will not open until June 14, as the manr agement figures the real hot weather will not be with us until that date. i THE GARDEN has been occupied by the Du- blnsky Stock Company the past season. It played vaudeville up until that time, having a varied career. It was reported some time ago that Geo. Nlcolai secured the Garden for International at- tractions next season, but that was an error. Nlco- lai closed for the Grand, which was formerly a part of the Stair ft HavHn Circuit Alexander Pantages has been urged to take the Garden sev- ernl times, and there bave been negotiations. He is not In the present deal, hot the theatre will play Pantages shows and practically become a pact of the circuit. Barrett. J. Bay Brock, John P. Blake, Wm. E. Blaek, Frank J Burke, J. W.
