"Dorii Thnrrie" was witnessed at tlx Star Theater last evening by a fair house, tin' weather being mo hail that most of the Star patrons feared to venture out. Consequently this ex cellent company played to a much smaller crowd than usual, but those present enjoyed the beautiful drama to the full extent. Tonight and with regular matliies Saturday and Sunday the "Ideals" are offering one of tbe strongest plays In their entire reper toire, and the management feel con fident that this play will make un In stantaneous hit with play-goers of this city. "The Great Northwest" Is the attraction offered and Is consid ered the best bill of Its kind ever at tempted by a western stock company. The "(Ireat Northwest" deals with life In the Sierra Nevada mountains and while a pathetic story runs through the piece, thero Is still plenty of good wholesome comedy. Miss Georgia A. Nichols Is seen In one of her favorite roles, and will please all who witness her clever work. Joined in Wedlock Mr. Sidney M. make was married to Miss Anna M. Magee by Rev.
