Little Folks Go
to Their Theater
Record Crowd of Youngsters
See Presentation of
“little Women.”
Children began to pour Into the
Burgee e-Nash auditorium two hours
before the performance of "Little
Women,” which was the opening
number of the children’s theater yes
terday, and by the time the play
began the hall was crowded to the
limit. Children stood along the walls
and perched upon the grand piano.
The youthful actors even had a
chance to sympathize with their col
leagues of the Shakespearian days,
when a row of noblemen usually sat
upon the stage Itself, for a quartet
*'f youngsters balanced themselves
upon the shield that protected the
footlights.
About 500 persons managed to
wedge themselves into the room,
w hile many ethers were turned away
for. lack of space. The attendance
marks the high water mark for' the
children's theater, which at its open
ing a few years ago thought itself
lucky to attract more than a score of
listeners.
The youthful actors appeared a
trifle disconcerted at first by the size
and'^activity of their audience, hut
recovered themselves and gave an
extremely creditable performance.
. They were received with applause and
a number of their listeners asked for
another performance of the play,
which was given several times last
> ear.
"Little Women” will be repeated
next Saturday afternoon at 3 at the
Harriet B. Monroe home for the bene
fit of the crippled children there. The
same oast will take part.

Chicago Grain 'y
| / By CHARLES .1. LEYDEN.
Chicago. Feb. 9.—Wheat again proved
Itself a "poor” sale today. Following a
false break early, which resulted In the
building up of a rather general, local
short Interest, prices rallied briskly as in
fluential buying hit the pit and closed
with a. substantial gain. The support which
absorbed all offerings, was largely credit
ed to leading elevator houses.
Wheat closed H&lHo higher; com wss
H®‘4e advanced; oat* were He lower to
Ho higher, and rye ruled Ho higher to
t He lower*.
Back of the buying power In the wheat
[pit which displayed a tendency to broad
en, was probably the belief that the agri
cultural service corporation which is to
[have millions of dollars available for
[the rehabilitation of the northwest will
make enrly progress In Its good work.
[ Aa in the wheat pit local traders sold
corn off during the first hour, but they
[covered at higher levels. Support wss
[credited to several prominent operators,
| as well as to an elevator house. Cash
[corn was in itcHva deinund with premi
ums up % €P He, Primary recelpfa of
[corn totaled 9.083,000 bushels against 10,
400.000 bushels the previous week.
Oats failed to follow the late bulge of
other grains In entirety and closed irreg
ular. Commission houses were on both
sides fcf the market, while shorts covered
at the Inst.
Trade in rye vie utterly featureless.
Provisions closed lower. laird wss un
ch.ingcd to 6c lower and ribs were
lower. _ ,
|*lt Note*.
Primary receipts of wheat for the w^ok
aggregated 4.4*1.000 bushels compared
with 6.293.000 bushels last year. Clear
ances from North Amerb a have enlarged
lately, and thp domestic milling trade
continues active for this season of the
year. The anticipation of n steady d
crease In the visible supplies from now on
bus been a sustaining factor In the local
Pit. * _
The consumptive demand in Kurope
this year ha* surpassed nil early esti
mate*. and the truth of thla I* Juat now
overcoming, the furt that auppllea the
world over hgve hern plentiful. Kurope
luia taken more wheat thla year than lust
from the aurpltia, while It* native .rope
have hem Increased.
Works of wheat In the United King
dom ere low. and the Immediate alt na
tion la not Indicative of any change.
World shipment* of wheat thla week
were over 20.000,000 bushel*, hut Idver
pool closed strong today. l’ollttral news
front Kurope was regarded as more fa
v ora hie.
The majority In the grain trade are
prone to hHleve that the stock* of wheat
hark on the farina aro very light How
ever. < oh grain men Imre today advised
t« , - i
aril wheat more freely The receipt*
continue persistently light in all mar
lo-o, sn«| |t |* hardtv probable that there
will he any material Increase from now
