I Kol lowing Mr. Perkins' uddru.s, OPERA TO BE STAGED HERE ilarshall N. Dana, ussociuic edi tor of the Oregon Jo jrnal, who made u special trip to Lu Grande for the occasion, delivered a frank talk on the subject, "I'oiu lii Li titty .Loyalty." Mr. Perkins opened by express ing hin uppreclalion of tins trust i e posed In h I in by the c ham ber of .commerce in electing him president of the organization. He told something oC the duties tmd t the same time the pleas ures of being president of the I'hamher of commerce, referring particularly to a recent instance when a number of motion picture people nrried In Im Grande for tliv purpose of selecting locations for a new film. On thlH purtlcu lur occasion, according to M. Perkins, I he pleasure belonged al most entirely to Mr. Stoddard, who was then president of the or ganization. To Support Impnnrim-iil.s. In his address Mr. Perkins pedged the new administration of the chamlii'i- of commerce to sup-; port the movement for an im proved 1 water system for La Grande, adeffiale tourist accom modations to attract possible home builders, better street light ing, particularly on the main st recto, irrigation on I he valley farms for the purpose of diversi fying farming, and to bring new industries into I .a Grande. line other thing which Mr. Perkins hopes to accomplish dur- lug his lerm of office, he stated In his address, is the selling of the chamber ol commerce, to tip? people or La Grande.

The theme of I he opera, Itobln Hood's love for Maid Marion Is one or the inosi. beau i ii ui romances known lo the English speaking world and "Itobln flood" Is said by critics to contain more real music and more laslng Hong hits than any o1her opera ever writ ten. The Itrandoii (per a company east is said to be especially fine. Iteautiful Theo Pennington slugs the role of "Maid Marion" and Harry Pfell plays opposlle h r in the title rob-. others In the cast are Carl llundsch as "Little John.", Jessie Kv.'inH as "Alan A Dale," George OH-son as "Sir Guy of Glsborue".
