"BRIGHT EYES" AND A BEVY OF BRIGHT EYED GIRLS AT THE GRAND TONIGHT DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. ORBOOX. HAD FIERCE BATTLE WITH A BIG BEAR Finding a chorus for a musical play of girls that can dance and sing as well as attract the eye, is a matter that any theatrical manager will ad mit is very difficult. The great vogue of musical plays of late has exhausted the supply of regular chorus girls, and every season It Is becoming harder to find girls who can ade quately fill the places. In spite of the many recruits from society and other wains 01 me. cut wnen it becomes necessary to take into consideration, in addition to the usual requirements, the eyes of the girls selected the task seems almost an Impossible one. Yet Jos. 51. Gaites, the discoverer and producer of "Three Twins," has ac complished this. When Mr. Gaites got ready to produce "Bright Eyes," a new musical play by the authors of -inree iwins, wnich will be seen at the Grand Opera house, Friday night, October 27th, he decided that the la-1 dies of the chorus. In order to carry 1 out the name of the posessed of unusually bright eves. So when it came to selecting the girls the brightness of their eyes was con sidered as a possession fully equal to beauty or the ability to sing and dance. It took Air. Gaites weeks to select this chorus and at times it seemed Impossible of accomplishment. After he had looked over every avail able girl who applied for a position or who could be heard of at the agen cies, he vas still short about a dozen of the fifty required. Finally In des peration he Inserted advertisements in all the New York papers appointing a day to look over all the girls who thought they had bright eves ami wanted to go on the stage. With the manager of the companv and the gen eral stage director, 5Ir. Gaites pro pared for the final effort. Nor was this effort unrewarded. Nearly three hundred women and riric n o ' 1 " ail aui la and sizes presented themselves, each uue prepared to prove that her eyes were the brightest PVpr RPPn Trifle were eyes of all sorts, shapes and COlorS. most Of thplr nu-nora 0K w mi- a ouou- lutely useless to the manager, but out of the lot the required dozen were found and Mr. Gaites was at peace. A census of the eyes selected for the chorus shows that hut ..... ....., are blue, while nineteen pairs are ab- oumieiy oiacK. mree girls have light brown eves, while iho nrha .,, eleven others are dark brown. Grey comes next with five pairs, while two pairs are classed as hazel. One pair are of deep violet, one pair are unde niably yellow, and one girl prides her "'"re man on ner good looks or her singing voice, on the fact that her eyes are positively green. The fact that there are thirty-three pairs of dark eyes to seventeen pairs of light ones, leads Mr r.altaa onA t,i associates, all of whom now declare themselves to te experts on glowing optics, that as a rule dark eves am more scintillating thnn Uirht I consolation that will probably be agreed toiby all dark-eyed women, but may find some opposition from women whose eyes are classed as light. The Cottage Grove Leader this week has the following story of a bear fight, that reminds one of early uays: On Thursday afternoon of last week Lee Wetmore. 0f this city, had a terrible experience with a rather large black bear In the Bohemia mountains near the old warehouse He was on his way to the Champion i iuii7, ngiuuipanieo Dy a couple of fox I terrier pups, when he discoered the ueur near tne road, and promptly fired two shots into Its body. The enraged animal at once made a rush for 5Ir. Wetmore, who had fired his last shell, but was not aware of the fact, and waited for the bear to come within a few feet of him, expecting to give It a dead shot, but when he pulled the trigger there was no ex plosion, and he was left for a hand-to-hand contest wltn the brute. He used the gun as a club, but was no match for thn bear whlnh HpIi him a blow on the side of the head, its claws cutting several ugly gashes near his left ear, and one just under his right eye, which felled him to the ground, after which It proceeded to CtleW UD 5Ir YVhltmnrn In a lo.rf.,1 manner. In an attempt to protect his iieuu auu tace wun ms arms, those members were virtually given up to the animal, and wern hitten nn.i t.,,. erated in a fearful manner. While this was going on the pups mentioned were doing what they could to attract the bear's attention in which they succeeded In time, no doubt saving their master's life. Being on slant.

"IN OLD KENTUCKY" ALWAYS A FAVORITE, HERE MONDAY "In Old Kentucky." which comes to the Grand Opera house on Monday, October 30, requires no lengthy Intro duction to playgoers of this city. For many years this romantic drama of the bluegrass state has been an occa sional visitor here and has always been warmly welcomed. The fact that it has held the boards year after year is an unqualified endorsement of its merits. "In Old Kentucky" Is credit ed with being America's most popular drama. It certainly possesses that Indefinable something that makes a distinct and lasting appeal to all classes of theatre-goers. "Madge," the heroine. Is human in her unselfish love; "Joe Lorey," the moonshiner; Is a manly, admirable character type; the "Colonel" Is another true Ken tucky product, gallant, breezy and affable; "Uncle Neb" is a type of the old-time Southern darky servant, now about extinct; "Aunt Alathea" Is a lovable Southern maiden lady, past GRAND OPERA HOUSE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28TH HARRY CARSON CLARKE and 5IARGARET DALE OWEN Supported by a clever company pre senting Sydney Rosenfeld's comedy In three acts, entitled His Absent Boy Trices: 25c, 50c, 75c, $1.

T. Dazey's pop ular play are well drawn and clearly defined. With the possible exception of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," no play on the boards today has a cast of char acters better known or more Instantly recognized on their first appearance at each performance. "In Old Ken tucky" has rapid action, exciting epi sodes, an idyllic love romance and breezy humor and a strong, clear-cut slory. The pickaninnies, and there are more than a score of them In the play, are an entertainment in them selves. They sing, dance, perform on musical Instruments (as a brass band) and add a characteristic South ern flavor to the drama. Miss Mil dred Johnson will play Madge Brierly (her third season in the role), Bert G. Clark will again play the "Colonel" and George 51. DeVere will play "L'ncle Neb." Others In the roster are Andrew Rogers, Helen Gurney, Theora Carter and Walter Fredericks. The production is entirely new for this season's tour. Ing ground the btar and dogs rolled away down the hill Into the river, Where the former died from the shots received at the beginning of the fra cas, and Mr. Wetmore managed to walk a mile and a half to where the Burk boys and. joe Campbell were placer mining. They procured a stretcher from Diston, and proceed ed to carry him out. Dr. Job. called by phone, and In company with Au ditor Protzman, of the O. & S. E., proceeded on the gasoline speeder of the latter. Medical relief was given, and he was brought to town, where his wounds, were dressed by Dr. Job and assisted by Dr. Klme. He i9 getting along nicely, and It Is hoped that he will be able to be out In a few days. Upon the recovery of the bear from the river, by others, It was found that the animal weighed 350 pounds. which the Turlnna anorloa nf a,inain ti are remarkable, and the great value ut me timoer as a suDstltute for oak, hickorr and the other woods, these are the trees that are teing most largely planted.
