jMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, APRTL 2, 1011. PAGE THREE ' MERRY WIDOW IS INDEED I Opera Pleases Crowded House Mu sic Voices and Comedy In Profus ion Mabel Wilber is Superb Dancer. "The Merry Widow," ns suns; nnd acted at the Medford Friday evening, is a rare delight one of those com pletely satisfying performances sel dom seen easily equal in the sum of its entertainment, to a score of the average musical comedies, which are often painfully deficient in the es sential elements of music, voice and comedy. The present company is the orig inal New York ent, with some changes, but in no wise deteriorated It is of superior merit in all respects, nnd the piece is sumptuously mount ed. The three scenes representing the Marsoviau embassy, the garden of Soma's residence, and the Cafe Maxim in Paris are fine examples of stage nrt, and the many fine gowns worn in the three acts add to the completeness und costliness of the production. The company is very numerous, the chorus being uncommonly large as well as of unusual attractiveness ji face and figure, and in the very im portant clement of voice there is rea son for praise. The dancing is es pecially excellent, the Hungarian numbers being particularly interest ing and pleasing, as rendered in na tive costume. The charming music of the opera is artistically played by an adequate orchestra, and it scarcely need bo said that the fa mous "Merry Widow" waltz was many times encored. In the element of comedy, the com pany, like the libretto itself, i nota bly strong. I?. K, Graham, as Po poff, the ambassador, is almost amusing, and in the role of Nish, the messenger, Fred Frear is not less of a funmakor. Hut other members of the company, though less conspicu ous, are likewise good comedians, and the spirit of gayety and frolic, whib makes this opera so deliciously en tertaining, animates the entire cast There are many bright and witty lines, nnd the pervading mirth con stantly effervesces, like bubbles in champagne. Mabel Wilber, the original "merry widow," heads the present company and is ns beautiful and ehnrming as ever. She is a rare combination of bewitching grace and animation singing voice and acting talent, and she dances divinely. Charles Menkins, as Danilo, fills the role admirably, catching the very spirit of the part and impersonating the gay and reckless prince with laiigb-provoking jollity. He is nn ex ceptionally good dancer.

PENITENTIARY Governor Empowered to Remove 150 Some May Be Extradited West Intends to Weed Them Out in Near Future. Bin Strike On. WINNIPEG, Man.. Anrll 1. More than 10,000 miners in Alberta nnd Eastern nrltlsh Columbia went on n strike at midnight. Coal supply throughout the district Is short and the condition Is critical. Yeggmen Make Haul. LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 1. Yeggmen blew the safe of the post office at Moneta near hero, early to day, secured considerable money nnd a quantity of stamps and escaped. A posse of sheriffs deputies, head ed by Postal Inspector Hall, have left to take up the chase. SALEM, Or., April 1. Peginning May 20, unless prevented by invoca tion of the referendum against the act creating a parole board, Gov ernor West will weed out the pris oners who have served a minimum of indeterminate sentences, and will parole them to make room for more prisoners. Under the new parole law intro duced by Senator MeCullough, the governor is given power to- parole any prisoner sentenced to prison for tin indeterminate period any time af ter the prisoner has served the min imum sentence prescribed by law. At the present time there are 150 pris oners in the penitentiary who are serving indeterminate sentences and have served the minimum. By ex ercising his parole power, Governor West can liberate this number of prisoners. Jt is understood that among the prisoners subject to pa role there are several dangerous urimfiuuls, wanted in other states, and according to an nlliance with other state authorities a paroled prisoner can be returned to any place in which he is wanted for a crime anil again imprisoned. In view of this fact, the parole of many convicts means only to place them in the cus tody of other states, while at the same time reducing the number in Oregon's reformatory. Another provision in the MeCul lough act is that all trial judges shall upon passing sentence, make the same indeterminate, and pronounce only the maximum prescribed by law. The parole board is composed of three members, Superintendent James and two others. Although the gov ernor has not made the appointments, it is understood that James Linn of Salem, will be one member of the board. Mr. Linn is a hop man. Stock Market Prices.
