Vith the fight between Harry Davi:

the business at one of the down towr
houses is such that the operating firn
inust soon see the folly of keeping tis
theater open any longer. At one of th
matinees   this  week  there were   not
enough people in the entire house to fil
tile boxes, and the evenings have seer
the auditoriurn filled with emptiness. I

gross receipts have not averaged $50 a

ed the late Daniel Quilp to erect the
Auditoium in 1889, Col. Camp was the
manager, in fact he wxas the only  aa-
ager the  historic building  ever had.
Duinig tie life of tie Auditorium  the
greatest attractions and stars of the
world appeared here.   Col. Camp en-
tered the ranks of the amusement field
when hue was fifteen years old, as usher,
in Macauley's theater. From  tie time
he entered the employ of the late Bar-
ney Macauloy, he was ambitious to do
1 ig things. As an evidence of his value,
lee was in Mr. Macauley's employ for
eleven years. In 1885 he became general
manager for Daniel Quilp and was asso-
ciated with him  until his death four
years ago.  Col. Camp was for three
years lessee and manager of the Grand
Opera House of Louisville.
Everything ie has managed in the
amusement line has been a success, as it
is a well known fact that he has not
one financial failure to his credit. He
never emibarked in an enterprise unless
1e fully weighed every point as to the
possible results. Col. Camp has not only
been a director, but he was an actor ad
stage manager for four years of his ce-
reer with Barney Macauley. He has th
distinction of creatiag the first traip
part on the American stage.
As a public spirited citizen, he stands
as one of the first in Louisville. No big
affair is started in his city that he is not
one of tie first citizens to be drafted for
the work. As aIn evideace of Isis popu-
