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.

last message. ,,

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

less beloved Indian, whose astute

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.

the company played three months in
each city to crowded houses nightly.
It is conceded to be one of the
funniest comedies on tour this sea-

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

the merits of the play, and the com

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
