Of course, such ' shows as may be given will be under ? your auspices, and doubtless with your hacking and sanction these ama- a teur societies would get very good press notices ana raise consiuerauie money. "We feel sure these amateur performances will justify the labor you I may expend in organizing them, ad- J vising them and giving them your of- > ficial sanction. t "Will you please take up the mat- o ter in your State and communicate 11 with us, so we can send you the 1< necessary press material, which will include form stories announcing the performances, but leaving the date i ii and locality blank, to be filled in by h you."
