A fair sized, house witnessed a fair ly good production of a tolerable dra ma at the Oregon theater last eve ning. "The Great Divide" la not s. piny that one would really enjoy If It were presented by the very best of actors under the very best of circum stances and last night the patter of the rain on the roof with the wind whistling around the corners of the old play house did not tend to relieve in any measure the natural gloom that prevailed throughout the play. The author was evidently suffering from a bad attack of Indigestion when he composed the piece and he almost forgot to look for the silver lining to the clouds which obscured his sky. With the single exception of "Polly Jordan" every member -of the troupe was a veritable "Gloomy Gus." "The Great Divide" is a strong dra ma, but the monologues and moral izing dialogues were too long, numer ous and tedious to please a critical audience. The actors also frequently got beyond their depth and altogeth er It was not a very satisfactory pro duction, though there were occasional bursts of really good acting. ' . . - Fifteen Per Cent Gain.
