It may seem strange that the director of the play would have two people playing the same role. But whenever possible, it is found to be a plan with many facilities. In the present instance, the director could not choose between them, hence decided to have hoth characters play at separate times. Dorothy Alberding will play the role of Zita at the Sunday performances and "Katie" Omlor will take the part Wednesday. Mrs. Bormann will take the role of Mrs. Lathan on Sunday and Gert tide Holthouse will play the part at the Wednesday performance. o FIRE MARSHAL, CITY AND OTHERS SUED FOR $15,000 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) lative rentals."
