He will wear convict stripes, for he has Just .been sentenced to term in the Washington state peni tentiary, according to a message from Chehalls, which reads: : "Early Sunday morning Frink. who pitched for Chehalls in the state league this year, tried to break Into a hardware store of. the Fred Dun bar company and was caught In the act by Night Officer John Parr. Parr had been to the fire for some time and left there about 2:30 o'clock to make the rounds of the city. He started down the alley between Chehalls and Pacific avenues just In time to catch Frink In the act of trying to enter the store by way of a rear window. The latter Jumped and started to run, but was compelled to stop and put his hands up. He begged Parr to give him another chance as he said he was drunk and did not know what he was dofhg. : Frink was arraigned before Judge Rice this morning and pleaded guilty to attempted robbery in th second degree and was sentenced to the penitentiary for from one to five years, with recommendations (or one year only.

Thurlow Barren and Theodore Roberts in the order enumerated were the stellar attrac tions of a half-score capable actors in a splendid dramatic production that entertained a "house" in the Steward opera house last night that called for every available seat on the main floor and filled the gallery wfth men and women. "Jim the Penman" the piece in which not only three stars but & half dozen other people of far more than ordinary ability essayed the task of pleasing a big audience is rattling good. . It is n four-act piece In which the plot thickens rapidly from the first and reaches Us climax In the third act where Miss Roberts attains he highest perfection of her art. Then comes retribution. She Is an emo tional actor but not of the wild, raving type and with little ado of physical exertion, depending on facial expres sion and light gestures to convey the same thought that others will tear at their hair and eyes to express. She Is In a much better company and a much better piece than when here four years ago in the"House of Bondage" when it Is safetd Bay "not 50 per cent of the audience even liked her work, let alone . praised It. She has a vehicle now .fitted for her and the same is true of Theodore Rob erts. There may be a variation in public opinion as to the relative mer its of Mr. Bergen and Mr. Roberts but It was Bergen who has the more dif ficult role of the two Roberts Is pe culiarly fitted for his part and was acting under pretty much the same rend, while Bergen was figuratively watted hither and thither and called upon to delineate more than one sort of a human being Roberts, not so. He wSs the same old baron, through and through. , ' Mr. Bergen was here with Miss Rob erts before, but this Is the first time a La Grande audience saw Mr. Roberts Frank Denithorne was also here about five years ago, being then attached to the Rose Coglln company and Clarence Arper was here In "The Man of the Hour." One might go on Indefinitely dwel ling at length on the morals of the play and the capabilities of the indi vidual people portraying the parts la that play but it would be superfluous for those who didn't see It, overlooked, a chance to see and hear as well-finished and skilled production of a high class drama as it will be the pleasure of a La Grande audience to see for some time; to those who were there, no word of commendation need be added. La Grande is a cold, hard, exacting theatre crowd, but It warmed up last night and one of those rare occasions at the Steward went as a high compli ment to the actors. The leading char acter was called, to the curtain re peatedly and the 'hand" was given to her colleagues' too, with plenty of vim. La Grande seldom does applaud with any degree of vigor and though Miss Roberts probably didn't know, the au dience paid her a warm compliment indeed by the protracted "hands" af ter -her masterly attainment of the climax In the third act. a v mm vmi Saur Kraut lust In Phone us your orders.
