FitzPatrick and: Mountford won out at Buffalo—or rather Mr. FitzPatrick, by playing on the sympathies and feelings of the uninformed delegates of the West, who preponderated and outnumbered the informed representatives of the East, secured the decision. ‘Why? ‘What is he going to do with the charter now that he has secured his hold on it for another year? Does his course not clearly indicate “a dog in the manger” policy? Granted that FitzPatrick’s private iife is as clean as a priest's, that he is honest as the day is long, that his word is as good as many men’s bonds, does this procedure indicate that he is the unselfish and devoted triond of the actor that he has been held to be? Or does it indicate a lust'for the limelight and ‘a thirst for power? Is he the self-sacrificing, self-effacing, disinterested champion of the vaudeartist or the prey of personal ambition? Is he, in fine, a big enough, broad enough, considerate enough and unselfseeking enough man to lead in such a huge undertaking as any attempt to regalvarfize the White Rats would involve? iginal conceptions of Songs of Yesterday am Today, and the rural settings, were delightful Fourteen winutex, fall stage: two curtain calls No, 4—Welingtoo Trie, comedy slagers an fustrumientalixts, went: orer big.
