Here Holiday Week Old Time Favorite and Strong Troupe, Coming To) Enterprise Opera House. Enterprise, Dec. 4. To the Edi tor: -May I be permitted space to tell of the Delia Pringle company, which comes to the opera house for the week beginning Monday, Decem ber 27? I desire to write in this person al way, because I hav had personal knowledge of Ml3s Pringle and her company for many years, and desire to give the public my assurance, based on such personal knowledge, that the company is In every way strictly a first-class one. Miss Pringle and her company hav recently completed a run of seventy consecutive weeks at the Turner theatre, Boise, Idaho, to phenome nal business, and the only reason for the termination of the run was a prior lease of the theatre. When In Boise last week I had the pleasure of being' shown through the magnificent new PInne'y Theatre, the handsomest playhouse in the Pa cific Northwest, by- Manager Pin ney. The Pringle company is play ing at the Pinney this week. Mana ger PInney assured me that It was considered In Boise the strongest repertoire company ever seen there. That night I saw them In Caldwell in the strong domestic comedy, ''Be cause She Loved Hlro So," and feel that I can endorse all the good 'things Manager Ptnney said of them. The theatre at Caldwell was crowd ed to the doors and the audience was a most enthusiastic one. ' That this strong company has been secured for Holiday week In Enter prise, I feel to be matter for congrat ulation, and I am living in hopes that the business done toy them here will justify their faith in our town.
