“Linger Longer Letty” is a sequel to
•S,> Long Letty.” the song and dance
show in which the comedienne was seen
here seveial seasons ago.
- ... . .ei part is explained by the
that Miss Greenwood appeared once
more as the frea and easy Letty. the be

and the proud possessor of the longest
arms and legs that the American stage
,-ap boast of.
The whole piece revolves around her;
it could not do without her and all that

BY SOME OF ORIGINAL CAST.
David Warfield will open a three-day

Grimm.”
“The Return of Peter Grimm” was first
produced at the Belasco Theater, New
York, nine years ago, and after a long
metropolitan run, it was piayed through
out the country with notable success.
Because of its very original and rather
daring theme —namely, the continuation
of individual existence after death —the
play aroused wide and profound discus
sion.
