Best Play Of The Summer Season Zaza Well Re:eived By Large Audi- - n . . . . inn numwiy maicn Saturday Night The ralu and worse threatening 3torra kept the audience at the opera house Friday nljlu to small propor tions, but those who ventured out were weU repaid by hearing a very' funny farce. Are You An Odd Fellow T St was a laugh from start to finish. The best play and the best played of any production of the summer season of the Ethel Tucker Stock company was presented to a large audience Saturday night. Zaza is the '.eaat objectionable of the so-called problem plays, and ailde from the French view of that which for want of a truer name, is called love, the play is clean and carries a morafl protuberant enough foran English audience. Miss Tucker ' was clever. at times fascinating and at all times Interesting in the title role. Her support was goad, Miss Mandeville was sprightly and natural as Alice, vl Is Heaton played well the ungraci ous part of Zaza's aunt, Miss Brown the double role of Florianne and Mme Du Fresne, and Adllne Fuller that of Zaza's maid. . The actors, one and all, appeared to the best advantage of the present engagement, and little Whit Brandon was a clever as ever. One Performance Thle Week. . The Ethel Tucker Stock company will give but one performance In saob of the three towns this week. Tuesday night they played Zaia at Wallowa, and will present the same )lay at Joseph Friday night. Saturday night, the company will present at the Enterprise opera house .he famous three act farce-comedy, 'A Runaway Match." There la more genuine, healthy omedy and humorous situations In A Runaway Match than In a half dozen of the so-called farces. So good Is it that the situations, speeches, laugh provoking complica tions have been stolen and worked over into more plays than any come dies except Moliere's. Those who are not afraid to laugh and want to be really entertained and amused for two hours should not miss A Runaway Match Saturday night, Sept ember 18 PRAIRIE CREEK WON TWELVE INNINQ GAME Prairie Creek won an exciting, well played, 12 inning game from the Enterprise second team on the local grounds Sunday afternoon by a score of 7 to 6.

Bales caught Pldcock and the latter caught Moody, Spencer and Lovell were the Prairie Creek battery. Veathe'.spoon Resigns, II. H. Weatherspoon, for several years O. R.
