The celebrated Monro Marionettes,
with their cast of 50 beautiful mari

In a quaint little theater on Sunset
boulevard In Hollywood, w.here many
of the stars came In person and
posed for Miss Munro Augur, the
sculptress, who heads the production
and creates the puppets. Often the
little theater was filled with movie
stars who delight In watching these
lovely portrait puppets In especially
written plays, and In their clever
and snappy vaudeville acts.
The fame of the little theater and
these lovely marionettes stretched
across the continent and requests
from the larger cities throughout the
United States asking for local ap
pearances have been the Inspiration
and encouragement necessary to start
a transcontinental tour.

tunate in being Included In the
show's circuit and a large attendance

Twas the Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmat
And all thru the town,
Not a creature was smiling,
They all wore a frown.
Above the Oil Burner,
Few stockings were placed,
Faint hope that by Santa
They soon would be graced.
Most children were snug
In their wee folding beds
While visions of the morrow
Danced thru their heads.
The Fathers and Mothers
Likewise in a grouch
Had gone to their
Patent convertible couch.
When out on the asphalt
I heard such a clatter.
I looked out on Main street
To see what was the matter.
And there was old Santa
So forlorn 'twas a shame.
He had hitch-hiked from Portland
And was tired and lame.
And on the way down,
He had run out of toys
'Twas a heartbreaking outlook
For young girls and boys.
For Santa took a tumble
In the recent market crash.
He couldn't buy his toys this year
Because he lacked the cash.
But he handed me a letter
As he grabbed a northbound freight
