So far St. Louis has been lucky to get the Broadway stars out west In the road shows and then only for a week's engagement and possibly a return. Some of the stars never get here. Why? The answer Is probably best known In New York. Certainly It Is not known In St. Louis. What a stock company properly managed can do for the theatrical business of a city is best evidenced by the Park theatre stock, which last week began an engagement In "Mile Modiste" with Mabel Wllber in the leading role. The results are more than satisfactory. It Is a triumph for the stock company business. SPOKANE. BY JAMB! ROTOB. ST. PAUL BY C J. BENHAM. ORPHEUM (E. C.
