THE MORNING ASTOH1AN. ASTORIA. OREGON." SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 8 i j Coming Attractions at Astoria Theatres. THE FLAMING ARROW." ; ' At the Astoria Theatre tonight the romantic rnclo drama, "The Flaming Anow," will be presented The play is from the pen of Lincoln J. Carter, that past master in the construction of melo dramas and novel effects. In addition to a company which is large and artistically strong, he has secured many novelttes with which to addi realism to the situation of the play. Among the features are Moon Dcg, a famous warrior; Red Flash, Custer's famous Indian scout. and the roan who carried Custer's last message. ,, ; American plays by American aa .thors should ever be interesting events in a community where Ameri canism is a dominant characteristic J In cresentin "The Flaming Ar row. br Mr. Carter, the American author, theatre-goers will have 'chance to see an art creation worthy !of the sort The characters are 50 and strongly' chosen. White Eagle, the young Arraphoe, is a good type ,of civilized Indian as the stage has ever seen in a generation. His fath er, Black Eagle, represents that sec tion of the brave and fearless but not less beloved Indian, whose astute ness and faithfulness was reocgnized and rewarded by the United States Government Col. Freemont, repre sents a fine old type of active and war scarred soldier. His daughter, Mary, a womanly maiden, whose bravery and love for truthfulness are characteristic of American women, Such are a few of the prominent characters the author has happily chosen as representatives, together with a rescally Mexican, a treacher ens lieutenant, a fun-loving negro and a witty Irishman. years and during this time he has re ceived so many encomiums that what can be said is but reiteration. He has one of the most charming per sonauties ever bestowed upon a man appearing -before the public, and voice which must be a joy to the possessor, and is certainly unalloyed delight to the hearer. Rich, splen did range, it is assisted by the sixth sense, which enables the singer to convey the thought of the composer. With all his voice and the artistic method of using it, there is the tern perament, without which the singer never completely reaches his au dience. It is certain that Mr. Herse is a great artist Thousands have heard him and his fame is becoming pronounced. His program consists of songs that appeal to every sense of individual liking, English, Ger man, Scotch and Irish songs. He deserves a large attendance and we believe our people will patronize him liberally.

It is conceded to be one of the funniest comedies on tour this sea- on; and the hit made by this orga nization has been most pronounced. A critic speakig the other day of Facing the Music, said "Those who attended the Bijou theatre last night were not disappointed in any way. James J. Corbett, well supported by an excellent company, certainly pleased and amused the audience in an extremely funny play, "Facing th Music." Mr. Corbett as John Smith displayed great ability as a come dian. , Too much cannot be said of the merits of the play, and the com pany, ana tney are deserving of packed houses everywhere."

Everything is new, the book, the lyrics and music. The song hits number a score. It is promised in advance that the general tone of "Ma's New Husband" is thoroughly dean and mirthful. The performance! appeals to everyone who seeks di vertisement from home and business cares. "Ma's New Husband" has a well constructed plot and holds the interest until the fall of the last curtain. Herbert Short, an actor out of a job, and Marie Longfellow, a widow, are engaged to be married. He has hard luck on the road and she has had worse in her experience as mistress of a New ork boarding house, go the happy day is postponed until fortune smiles or the "ghost walks." . . GREAT SINGER COMING. Otto F. L. Herse, than whom few tenor singers have more admirers with the original production and all accessories complete, will be at the Astoria Theatre next Sunday night. WAITING ON ELECTION. New York Stock Market Conforms To The General Situation. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The stock ; market during the week has been I disposed to wait on the result of the election's but with a feeling of confidence in improved conditions after they are passed. Some profit taking sales were in evidence promp ted by the high level at which pri ces ruled and by apprehension that such selling after the election would overbear the expected new demand. The action of the market in face of these gales indicated the unrestricted control of powerful financial forces which have dominated the market for all over the continent, is to render a months.

The fact that the Astoria High School football eleven was material ly lighter in weight has been freely commented on as one of the causes of defeat in the Eugene game, and probably in the Salem game. For the past week or more there has been another side of the matter quietly animadverted upon, though the merits of the discussion may per haps be in doubt All of the High School pupils that are interested in athletics fee! that most of the members of the football team," said a gentleman yesterday who is familiar with the subject, "apparently are rightfully on the team. They have the skill and the weight to justify placing them on the eleven. But it is complained among some of the High School pupils that some who are on the team have no right to be on at alt. It is charged that they get on simply because they belong to a certain 'clique.' "If this is true there is something radically wrong. A boy whose fath er chances to be a fisherman or a farmer ought to have the same chance to make the football team boy whose father may happen to have a little more prominent position in the world. If it is true that a cer tain 'clique runs football in the As toria High School the school and the town might as well drop interest in the matter." Yesterday a representative of the Astorian made some enquiries in the matter. It is plain that there is an undercurrent of feeling over the question. The subject has also been broached to one or more members of the school 'authorities. Probably some investigation will be made, and it is to be hoped that the accusations' are without foundation.! As nearly as could be learned yes terday no complaint is made that some of the best players were kept off the team when selections were made; but that in the school arc quite a few youths who have weight. strength andthe requisite skill, but that they receive no encouragement to get into the gamerather they are discouraged from entering the sports and as a remit, the school athletics have not calted out some of the boys who might bring much credit to the school.
