Ono at tlio'most delightful, melo
dramntlc comedies ever shown to n
Bond audlonco is "Officer 66G,"
which tho It, 'A. A. C. players will
stage Monday night under tho nus
pices of tho American Legion. Every
lino Is a laugh, nnd under tho direc
tion of George Pauly, who has had
much exparlonco as a director and as
a professional actor in stock compan
ies, tho wall chosen cast Is making
tho most possible out of tho lines nnd
tho situations, some of which are as
thrilling an melodrama could wish,
others belu so ludicrous that they
are difficult to rehearse tho cast
must stop 'to laugh.
As a play which brings out the
character of the master crook, "Offi
cer 666" la Idoal, and Pauly as tho
crook makes the most posslblo out
of the character generous but un
scrupulous, ruthless but gentle, calm
when prison bars loom but despond
ent when tho woman he loves Is lost
to him. guj
Williams Is Lending Man
Opposed to htm Is Travcrs Glad
win the Irrepressible heir to mil
lions, a rolo created by Douglas Pair
banks but Hill Williams, known to
Bend audiences through his work as
leading man In "The College Widow"
and other plays two years ago, and
as a member of the Bend high school
debating team which almost won the
state championship, docs the part
full Justice.
W. F. Sloan, a novice to the stage,
has proven a find as a Juvenile actor,
being completely at ease and always
natural. Ills unexpected histrionic
faculty will be a surprise to his
friends. Kmil Denz plays the part
of Michaol Phelan. the real "Officer
666," in a convincing manner. Le
roy Fox mal:e3 a plausible detective,
and Leroy Coyner plays the police
captain's role well.
Ca.st Well Chosen
The female parts are equally well
taken by Mrs. Margaret Bozorth, Miss
Eleanor Bechon and Mrs. George
Kanoff. Mrs. Bozorth has the part
of the Inexperienced girl from the
west who is about to elope with the
crook, but Is saved In the end by
the leading man. Miss Bechen is the
shy miss, who attempts to thwart her
cousin's plans, and In so dolug finds
herself in love with the millionaire's
modest friend who tells her he pre
vented the elopement. Mrs. Kanoff
plays the eccentric aunt who has an
exciting timo trying to keep track
of her nieces and save them from
designing men.
Snappy I'orformance Promised
A snappy performance is assured
in tho fact that no changes of scen
ery are necessary. The action all
takes place In the home of Travers
Gladwin, jn the space of one evening,
Only a few minutes will be required
between acts. Tickets tor the affair
will be oqaJc tomorrow at Larson's
Jewelry store. The prices have been
reduced since the last play, so that
no one uecd' stay away for lack of
the adm(ilon fee. The cast has the
play well learned, and will hold a
dress rehearsal Sunday.

Mrs. V. A. Forbes, home service di
rector, was sold at a price of 12.50.
Only tho fact that the purchaser was
unable to pay cash and had to leave
her package until sho could roturn
with tho necessary money, enabled
Mrs. Forbes to regain possession of
the garment which she had taken oft
on entering the room, nnd then tor-gotten.
Stocks move quickly In the Hcd
Cross shop, and a tew minutes after
Mrs. Forbes had left, a customer en
tered. The cloak Just suited her and
