ACTORS, BUTN0 SCENERY
Floods Delay Production of "The
Sign of the Cross."
There was no performance of "The Sign
of the Cross" at the Heillg last night,
owing to the failure of the scenery to ar
rive in time. It got through to thi city
about 9 o'clock, and will be set up to
day, making it certain that a performance
will be given tonight. The company spent
the day here in resting up from the fa
tigues and discomforts which they ex
perienced in the flooded district.
The present 'high water means the loss
of thousands of dollars to the theatrical
business in this section. Dozens of com
panies have been unable to play their
dates, and the bookings for weeks are do-
moralized. The Northwest syndicate, the
company managers and the actors have
already suffered much loss, and the end

The same applies to the vaudeville cir
cuits and performers. Thousands of
pounds of baggage are piled up here, at
Seattle, Taeoma and other points, and
while in many Instances the people them
selves are able to reach their destination.
they are unable to give performances
through their Inability to get their scen
ery and wardrobes over the road.
It will be a matter of several daya be
