...professional performance at the Castle Square Theatre this evening-- "Between the Lines," by Mrs. Charlotte B. Chorpenning.

The fact that seats for both these plays are selling eight weeks ahead is the strongest possible refutation of Broadway's former asseveration that the University's professor made playwrights are too impracticable...
