' The Servant in the House, to be
-presented in the high --school - audi
torium ' next Saturday' evening Jan.
15, is by all odds the 'best;, number
tlhat has appeared in La 'Grande this
'season. "William Owen who heads the
company is one of America's fore
most actors.- He has played leading
parts with the biggest companies and
"with such others .- as Julia Marlow
and Rhea the great French actress.
'His company is selected from actors
"whom Mr. Owen has known for years.
. This company was shown in Chautauqua-
work this season and was
ranked with Alice Neilson as the two
foremost attractions on the platform.
The Neighborhood club Us putting
forth every effort to make this the
banner attraction. 1 Union, Elgin and
Imbler are sending a large delegation
to the entertainment. The seat saTe
will 'be large If early indications are
correct. ' Those holding season tickets
are requested to show these tickets at
the door with their reservations.
The Neighborhood club met at the
club room January 4th. During thu
business iperiod two new . members
were added to the club.
The study of Hungary was the topic
for the afternoon. ' Mrs. G. H. Currey,
Jr., gave a very interesting descrip
tion of Hungary its area, boundar
ies, mountains, rivers, etc.; also the
character of its Inhabitants which con
sist of the Slovak,' Magyar and Finn.
The Hungarian is very deeply inter
ested in the present war, and thinks
it impossible for peace to prevail for
some time yet. The Finns gave their
women the right of the ballot in 1903
and were the first people to recognize
"Women's Rights." ' . .
' The national hymn of Hungary was
very beautifully sung by Mrs. J. J.
Carr; Mrs. , . George Birnie accom
panist. "Liszt, the Master." The sketch of
the life of this great pianist was re
lated by Mrs. F. L. Meyers in a very
pleasing manner. Hungary was his
native land, and his father being a
noted musician gave his son ' oppor
tunities at an early age. When but
nine years old he appeared in a con
cert and pleased his audience so well
six noblemen pledged their support
to aid him in securing the . best in
structors. At 12 he was commis-
sioned to write a one-act play for the
opera or fans.
Music "Am Meer" (Schubert-Liszt)
by Mrs. George Birnie. The audience
certainly enjoyed Mrs. Birnie's num-
t ber which was so sweetly rendered.
i The program closed with two Hun
garian fairy tales, very charmingly
told by Mrs. R. L. Clark. The close
attention given proved that the Neigh
borhood club sincerely appreciate
"Fairy Tales." . Several guests were
present. ' -
Dorothy Harrison, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Wesley Harrison, was a
dainty little hostess yesterday after
noon to a group of girl friends in
honor of her seventh birthday anniversary.-
The party was given after
school, and the little folks had a jolly
good time. . Those who were present
to help Dorothy celebrate . the. . oc
casion were Phylis and Gertrude
Scranton, Thelma Elmer, Juahita
Spencer, Marjorie , Reynolds, Mar
guerite Ellis, Gladys Tanner, Pauline
and Bell Gilbanks, Elenore Hanson
and Ruth Harrison. , ..
