According to the terms of the contract no photographs taken after tomorrow were to be published; but owing to the laxity or oversight by certain members of the class it has been necessary to extend this time to Saturday.

It is essential that more rational methods of dealing with Sunday be adopted, providing for instance healthy, inspiring drama and opera at established municipal theatres rather than allowing certain managers to produce anything they wish to, as we see in Boston today.
