I looked up 1n astonishment and saw Rosemary Wild one of my old classmates Going on in, I stopped to chat with the ticket taker and discovered that the theatre was under the management of Ruth Polson The customary ticket taker Billy Carter, was off on h1s honeymoon It was almost time for the show to start so the usher guided me to my seat where I set tled myself to enjoy the feature First of course were the advertisements Oh well who wants to look at advertmsernents, but wait what was that?
