"In Wyoming" next Wednesday. "In Wyoming," a romance of the Western Plains, strong in emotions and beautiful in senti ment, will be the attraction at the opera house next Wednes day, December 23. The story of the play teems with the breath of the prairies, it fascinates with its powerful plot of love, intrigue and adventure, and coinpels many a hearty laugh with light comedy, softened anon with a gentle touch of pathos. ihe beautiful story is so naturally unfolded that it instantly appeals to the heart of ev( ry man and woman in the audience. It is the most original and diverting play of Western life ever written, there is not a shot fired during the entire performance, and in this respect will be a great relief from usual melodrama. "In Wyoming" is on the order of "The Virginian" and it is as good as "The Girl of the Golden West," the producing company is strictly high class and is posi tively guaranteed to be the best seen in Corvallis in a longtime.
