Never In the history of the¬ atricals has such a company and such productions been given the public at such ridiculously low prices. I can t figure it out except as I said before that New Orleans is tired of stock. “The Octoroon” Is a play that should draw well and we have spared no expense on the production or cheapened it In any way. We gave the patrons the same elaborate production this week that they had during the season.” Walter Baldwin talked on the same lines and said It was very dishearten¬ ing tn work as they had done this sea- : the Dauphlne and then get come to love New Orleans and it was quite a disappointment to them to have to close so early,” — = J ” ” ' 1 Mr. Baldwin.— Suit Aganst a Zoo.
