Pastime Theater Closes

Demonstrated That Bulding Was Too Small For Purpose
Effort Being Made to Find a Suitable Building

The Pastime Theater has closed its doors for the present theatrical season. Sunday evening's performance was the last performance to be seen in the old location.

P. M. Poulsen, proprietor of the theater, states that it has finally been demonstrated that the building is too small, as it has at times proven entirely inadequate to seat the people who have crowded to get in.  The closing of the Pastime in its present location does not, of course, mean that Mr. Poulsen is out of the show business.  In fact, Mr. Poulsen stated to a reporter of this paper today that he is seeking for a larger, suitable building and in the event of his being able to find one, will fix it up for a first class theater.

Under the direction of Manager Wilkin, the popular little playhouse has met the exacting demands of the amusement public by putting on good bills.  The courteous treatment extended at all times by the management to the patrons of the theater has been greatly appreciated and the closing of the doors for a time will cause regret among the amusement public.
