Strange, Unique and Norel is
Climax. '
' i
Strage, new, unique, fascinating be
yond description and in many points of
view the best drama beard at the
Steward in several seasons, the Climax
played to an appreciative audience
last night. There is nothing in the
play that is plagarized. It Is new and
has character such as few plays have!
Though the plot Is insignificant and
of Just common Interest, the manner
of handling it Is a remarkably .inter
esting. Miss Adelaide O'Brien, as Ade
lna Von Hagan,' the pupil, carries tho
stellar role and she does It well.' With
four characters .every one (peculiar
ly moulden to. his part the play
stands out as a queer production that
not only pleases but is Intensely fas
cinating. Nothing but praise was heard
last evening.
At the Star.
Three films, showing tragedy, com.
ery and history are shown at the Star,
"Clancy" a story of the life of a metro
politan policeman, and his tight to
wipe out a gang of toughs is very re
alistic, showing a policeman's on
handed battle in a street brawl, ln
which he Is sverly wounded. The pub
lic's rratltude for this act of bravery
consisted of a short newspaper write
up. Art and the Legacy, a comedy of
two young artists with a craving for
art, is good. An Intrigue, a superbly
staged film of French history is well
worth seelcg.
GUESTS ARE PLEASED.

Critics Invited1 to Hear Pinafore Re
. hearsal Say Production is Fine.
: ;With careful study, hard work and
excellent training the coplc opera
Pinafore, which Is to be given at the
opening of the new high school audi
torium tomorrow night, has now
reached such a stage of perfection as
to insure a first class production of
this favorite opera. The stage has
been set to represent the ' quarter
deck of an Old time British man o' war
and at the dress rehearsal last night
many members of the cast entered so
heartily into the spirit of the opera
that they iwer repeatedly greeted
with applause from the other mem
bers of the cast and chorus, who at
the time were off the stage. Also the
few who were invited ln by director
Robinson to ook for the weak points
and aid by their suggestions and cri
ticism had nothing but words of
praise and surprise that a company
of young peope with scarcely any pre
vious stage training could accomplish
what has been done by , these hlg-h
school students in Just two week's
prepartelon. Of course every member
of the cast comes ln for a good share
of the work and al have made the
most of their parts, but there 1b al
ways special interest in those con
nected In a love story end in this
both the Admiral, Sir Joseph Porter,
pl.Gmlsslokroantedblral.SHRDLUUTJN
and the common sailor, Ralph Rack
straw, being both In love with the
same young lady are the center of in
terest. In the termer role, Mr. Geo. S. BIr
j nie, impersonating the mikhty ad
miral of the British navy makes love
in a very condescending manner to the
j captain's daughter and both in his
einglng and speaking voice as, well as
his easy acting and stage work will
I be a delight to all. But the girl of his
choice chooses the more humble sail
or who doeB not go about his love
making in so condescending but more
forceful manner and no one will won
der that Josephine makes this choice
when they hear. Mr. Sherwood WHll
lams, as Ralph Rackstraw, sing the
beautiful arias which fall to his lot.
In his part he is ably assisted by the
voice and acting of Mlqs Nellie Gar
rick as Josephine, as is Sir Joseph by
p4ila first cousin Hebe, Impersonated by
Miss Nel Young.
In preparing a production of this
kind much of the hard work and the
success of the oprea comes upon the
accompanist and in this Mrs. Louise
Maguire has very efficient and help
ful ...
Don't fail to attend the opera to
morrow and Saturday nights hear the
best musical production of the season
and at the same time assist ln the
beautifying and decorating the new
High School building.
Vaudeville Act at Orphenm.
Commencing today the Orpheum
adds a vaudeville attraction to its pro
gram. The vaudeville attraction is
a funny stunt along the coon lne
entertainment and the team brings
hlrh praise from other Eastern Oregon
towns. The team siaj-s the week out.
At the Isls.
A unique romance is told at the Is
ia in the film entitled "The Girl la
the Film." This is a romance with a
deep love story attached and is good.
"For Love of an Enemy," a story of
the Civil war, ln which a northern
spy and a southern girl, plays import
ant parts. The setting of a military
camp and the costumes of that date
are good. Another good film showing
great emotional acting is seen in a
"Kleptomaniac's Repentance."
