"THREE TWINS" IS
ONE BEST BET
Large Audience Greets Company and
Is Well Repaid for Its
Attendance.
"The Three Twins" gave local peo
ple a fine performance last night, and
the audience, both in size and quality,
would do credit to any number of
twiua.
The play is something of a depart
nre from the old musical comedy in
that it has combined a very funny
plot with nil the spectacular beauty
that modem stagecraft and the cos-
turner's art could lend to prodiutions
to productions of this class.
"Tlio Three Twins'' is an adanta
tion from Charles Dickson's "Incog."''
Dickson pleased his audiences for
many years with this play, unadorned
by scenic beauty or even musical
numbers.
f The went point in most of the
modern musical comedies has been
the plot. Thev were merely a pass
ing show that appealed only to the
eye, but Mr. Dickson in Ins new ar
rangement has added a spectacular
beauty to a play of real merit,
y The success of this piece will un
doubtedly, encourage the musical com
edy author to make use. of some of
the excellent plots in which the older
dramatic literature abounds. There
nre very many old English comedies
that in action and phraseology are so
poorly adapted to the present bright
style of comedy that they have be
come obsolete, but in point of fact
these old comedies abound in excel
lent situations, and the plot and sit
uation is what taxes the creative gen
ius of the dramatist. As great a
dramatist as Sheakespeare rarely, if
ever originated a plot. "His themes
were taketf largely from Italian ro
mance. There are many dramatists
capable of arranging stage pictures
and writing excellent lines, who were
never able to originate a plot, David
Belasco for instance. The come
dians in last night's performance
kept one laughing. The dancers and
beautiful eoslumes formed a fairy
picture, and the music appealed most
pleasantly to the sense of hearing.
The star of the caste, so far as the
male members . were concerned, was
Victor Morley. He is a splendid ac
tor; his wit is spontaneous and at no
time does he overdo his part.
Miss Bessie Clifford was the fa
vorite among the lady members of the
company. She is winsome, bright and
pretty, and in her dance at one time
she gave us a hint of the newly dis
covered dance of ancient Greece,
which is being danced to the music of
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
. Among the company the local mem
bers of the profession found many
friends, but none were more pleased
than Art Burgess, our popular com
edian, when he met Ivan Kudisill,
leader of the orchestra, who arrang
ed the music for Victor Morley's bur
lesque on the nmnteur melodrama,
which made such an instantaneous
hit. Mr. Kudisill's efforts as musical
director added no little pleasure to the
evening's performance.
All the caste, however, was very
good, and were not the list so "long
one could give special mention to
each and do no more than justice.
Medford '"sl surely made a hit
with the company, as did the com
imnv with Medford. Mr. Morley when
asked how he liked tho valley, said
"Well, I suppose you expect me to
say something complimentary, and so
perhaps I would, even wero I not so
favorably impressed, but it is most
pleasant to be able to truthfully say
that Medford and tho Rogue River
valley strikes me as the prettiest spot
I have seen on tho Pacific coast."
DEMAND FOR CHOICE
APPLES IS GROWING
(Orange Judd Farmer.)
Demand for choice apples shows
improvement rather than nny tend
ency toward cessation. The bulk of
offerings nre poor in quality. The
scarcity of the best grades of apples
therefore, accentuated. A large
amount of choice stock is going into
coolers. Farmers who failed to mar
ket their crops earlier in the season
have higher ideas of values and are
taking chances oil obtaining the sea-
sou's top price Inter in the winter.
Large quantities of the 1909 crop are
unfit for market and are going to
cider mills and driers in bulk. In
preparation of an estimate of the
quantity of commercial apples hnr-
vested this year, Orange Judd Farm
er solicited a large number of com-'
munications, extracts from which will
enable orchardists to size up in a
measure for themselves the season's
supply of apples in advance o,f the
publication of the estimate by this:
journal. '
Crop not more than 20 per cent of
full yield. Lighter than last year.
Prices range from $2.50 per bushel to
$3.25 for Xo. 1 fruit delivered nt
shipping point. Orchards at $2 per
barrel as the fruit hung on the trees.
In the Fennville district 20 miles
north yield was large. S. H. W..
South Haven, Mich.
Van Buren county crop larger than
last year, or 60 per cent of normal.
Quality not so good. The nnspray
ed orchards have only a few apples
and they are fit only for cider. D.
M,. Paw Paw, Mich.
About 20 per cent of a full crop,
or 20,000 barrels. Quality good, price
$2 to $2.50. Crop nearly all sold.

No apples for shipment. Local mar

PRESS LEAGUE TALKS
OF OLD KING APPLE
Chicago Press League Discusses the
Apple in Its Various
Phases.
(Chicago Record Herald)
Apples brown apples, red apples
yellow apples, enting npples and
cooking npples formed the subject
for a dozen toasts nt an elaborate
luncheon of the Chicago Pre
Lengue in the gold room of tho Con
fess hotel yesterday. Three hundred
women joined in a fanciful celebra
tion of national npplo day.
Hero are some of the unique sub
jects discoursed upon: "The First
Apple tree," "How Should . Kvo be
Judged?" 'Tnclo Sam Did Kut There
of," Where Apples Grow," "Applos
and Their I'ses," "The Apple-core
Bill," "Please Give Me the Core,'"
"Dried Apples." "The Golden Apple."
Speaking on the topic of "Dried
Apples," Miss Florence Edith Austin
opined that such was the condition
of the fruit which led to Admu's
downfall.
"It was not a ripe lueious npple
that caused the fall of innu, but a
sun-dried product of Eve's first eon
scieutous effort at cookery.' which
turned out a complete nud undeniable
failure,", snid Miss Austin. "Thnt
dried npple has stuck in the throats
of nil men since nud from thence
comes their grouch ngninst women
kind. :" . !.
"Adam married Eve for beauty and
not because she had tin' culinary at
tainments. Domestic science was not
included in her school curriculum.
Eve was brought up to lead tho sim
ple life on a strictly vegetarian diet
served in a sweetly informal manner.
Eve, lucky bride, never had to sit in
the kitchen and think nut menus.
"But after a long, wild wassail of
garden fruits the most substantial
being at least 00 per cent water,
Adam was suffering from malnutri
tion, when Eve like n true devoted
wife, though untrained, nnd solar
heat being the only nppronch to a
cooking range she had, and the evap
orated npple wns the result.
Mrs. Mary Moneure Parker in
dulged in no eulogies in dilating upon
"The Apple Core."
"The core is very unlovely and use
less," she said. "I trust nil little
boys will have enough to cat so they
wont hnve'to devour the cores."
Other speakers were Miss Metn
Weller, first vice president of the
Chicago Press Lengue; Mrs. William
Swift Holabird of the Chicago Cul
ture Club, Mrs. Harry Hammer of the
Chicago Women's Cub, Mrs. James
Madison Hunter of the Arche Club,
Mrs. John F. Thompson of the Social
Economics Club and Dr. .fiuin
Holmes Smith, honorary president of
the Chicago Press Lcagu. Mrs.
Frederick IC. Howes, president of t lit
league was loustinistress,
Original npplo sayings were given

clubs, including Mrs. I. V, Kdgerton

Point.
A good story is being told today on
11. A. McLellan, advance man of the
Merry-Makers now nt the Medford
theater. As tho "Three Twins" had
tho date at the opera house last night,
McLellan booked his company nt
Central Point. As the 7:41 train
awaits for no man, Mack had to walk
to Central Point. After arriving at
our neighbor town ho proceeded to
advertise his company, and, borrow
ing n piece of chalk from S. II. Mur
ray, started to write upon tho side
