Singer Comedy, Big Hit To Br Repeated Today "Toby's Triumph" presented by the Singer Musical Stock company at the Oregon theatre Sunday and Monday proved 6uch a hit with the patrons that the" manage ment decided to hold it over to day, it Is by far the best comedy presented by this popular com pany in many a moon and had the audience roaring in their seats from the opening of the first act to the closing curtain. Many new specialties were introduced and the big boy with the deep . voice certainly puts his numbers over. Mr. Lee has just Joined the com pany after a tour of the eastern circuits in a vaudeville act. Miss Dodge, another new member of the company has a very pleasing voice and made Quite a hit. The feature picture running in conjuctfon with "Toby's Triumph" is "Beau Broadway" co-starring Lew Cody and Aileen Prlngle. It is a sparkling vehicle of prize fight back ground 'and super- smart scenes. Spend Christmas Here J. O. Edlngtoa of La Grande. D.
