Wise, the fainotm actor of the s'peaking stage in "lUue GritHM." tuken from the play by Paul Arm strong, of the same name. "Itlue Grass" is a story of the race track and wo can recommend it as be ing one of the cleanest ami best productions seen' In Prineville for some time. Mr. Wise is one of the most be loved actors of the American stage having been featured in "Are You a Mason? I'ho Gentleman From Mississippi", the "Song of Songs" and made the "Old Homestead" famous.
