Of this highly successful o.Tering of the west, in his review in the (Portland) Oregon Journal of Sept. I? said: The Stewart conpany (m a delicious hit of a prima donna who is charming and can run her vo ice up the scale ladder until you loose sight of it in the flies. Als ). the company has a tenor that is delightful to thj ear, a come:ian that it realiy funny, a character woman who knows a thing or two, and, above all, William G. Stewart with his rich capti vating voice and his captivating stage presence. "The Two Rose's" is "She Stoops to Conquer" made into an opera. The theme is a happy one of course, and is worked out happily. John Cort deserves the thanks of a suffering public forgiving such a worthy production. The PIXIES Some time ago Supt.
