A good house enjoyed "The Captain's
Mate," played by the Streeter-Brian
Company, Saturday evening. There is
no very definite plot to the play and no
striking situations of any kind in It, but
the light vein of humor running through
it is well adapted to these warm mid
summer evenings. Miss Blanche Bryan
appeared before this audience for the
first time in male attire as a stowaway
on the ship, "Albatross," and with her
usual winning way, was even more
captivating than in most ot her sou
biette costumes. Morrie 1$. Streeter,
an Irish sailor, had the w it and good
heartedness of a true paddy. Harry J.
Terry, as Captain Sydney Penfleld,
played the genial captain well and was
as usual popular with the audience. F.
M. Weeks, as old Joe, the blind sailor,
and Bud Delaney, the dock thief, had
two good characters and played them
both with a complete understanding of
the characters he impersonated. On
next Saturday evening the most highly
entertaining play, perhaps of this
company's repertoire, "The Christian,"
will be played for the first time in
Wallowa county.
