Salrot Comedy NOTES. — The company hns been playing Eastern and Northern Ar- kansas during the Spring and Summer, to excellent business, using tabloid plays and vaudeville. We had six people, making from three nights to two week stands, but closed two weeks ago to take our Summer vacation. Since then we have been out In the heart of the Ozark Mountains, about fifteen miles from bureka Springs, Ark. The fish are biting finely, and two or .three pound boss are a part of our daily menu. Fresh vegetables from the farmers, delicious country butter, just laid eggs, buttermilk, apples, pears, peaches and corn that "drop' Into our basket as we pass, after a two mile jaunt over tbc mountains to a farmhouse, taste like real life in the open. And, by the way. Miss Arnold (Mrs. Salroy) can make "some" apple dump- ings. In one week more we return to the road, and all this will be but a memory, but It will linger through tbe coming season to entice us back when Summer comes again. Thera In only one regret out here, and that Is the lack of Tun Old Uelable. May we see it soon fgaln, and may tbe busy workers In The Clippeb office who have stayed there during the hot days, join us (in fancy, at least), by our campflrc and vat a "mesa" of froth fish. A. M. Kitto, of the Washington Quartet, was hi New York last week. They are play- ing vaudeville and cabarets on the Coast. Warren H. Stetson, Fred White, and P. Mal- lory are the other three members.
