A Letter From The
Continental Fibre Co.
The Editor of the Post
Newark, Delaware
Dear Sir:
Mrs. Armstrong, with the assist
ance of some young ladies and
gentlemen of the town, gave a very
good performance in the Opera
House, Monday night, March 3rd,
to a crowded house. This perform
ance was for the benefit of the
^'ewark New Century Club Build
mg- Everybody voted the Operetta
a great success and the very
splendid attendance verified this
D<
fact.
M'e are glad to note that the
a ' ne young ladies in our employ,
known as the Continental Mando
la Club, added very materially to
the succe- ful sale of the tickets,
■ T key started out Thursday after
nr) , on and the final windup had
I s .° d 257 tickets. I wonder if the
"0 members of the Century Club
rcade quite as good a showing as
this.
Either the Mandolin Ladies or
J ® Century Club Ladies failed in
I * thorough canvass from the fact
a t from 50 to 75 tickets could
ä\e been sold at the box office the
'ening of the performance if the
Opacity of the House had not been
sold.
A ours truly,
The Continental Fibre Co.
