' "Oil VOLUME VIII HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1922 NUMBER 52 "GYPSY HER" PLEASED BIG AUDIENCE AT STAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FINE TALENT SHOW Cant Put Play Over In The Absence of the Director Who Was III Members of school chorus the Heppner high covered themselves with glory last Tuesday evening in their splendid presentation of the "Gypsy Rover," a romantic musical comedy in three acts. Star Theatre, where the play was given, was crowded to capacity with relatives and friends of the young performers and the house was com- ! fortably filled at the matinee. High i prainse of the entertainment was heard oni every hand. 1 The young perfomers had been caerfully trained for the occasion for several weeks by Mrs. Bernice Dafoe Hopper, instructor In music In the high school and when she collared from overwork two days before the date set, the play was called off, but later the students Interested called a meeting and decided to go ahead with the performance as originally planned. The success achieved re flected credit not only on the thorough training they had received but also on their own self confidence and initiative. Alvin, Boyd took the title role in the play and carried his part off with 1 honors. Velma Case, as Lady Con-1 stance, English society e-irl In thoi part of leading lady was in fine voice and, always a favorite annong the soloists in Heppner, she delighted the audience. Paul Aiken, as Sinfo, gypsy lover of Zara, (Coramae Craw ford) belle of the gypsy camp, show ed a splendid voice which is rapidly winning a place for him as afavorite local entertainer and the parts of these two won plenty of applause. Leola Bennett, as "Meg," an old gypsy woman, and Dorothy Hill as "Nina," sister of Lady Constance, are both sweet singers and local favor ites. Allen Case, as "Lord Craven," made the typical English Fop, being equipped with a set of real, home grown "sideburns" which he has'been fostering for several weeks; and Jim Clabaugh took off the part of Sii) James Martengale as perfectly as enough he had been "to the manner I born," on the "ritht little iht I little isle," 50 or 60 years ago Don i Case made a very distinguished look- i ing English army officer Carl Casom ' was the real thing as a social lion while Ray McDuffee filled the bill as an English song publisher and busi ness man and Kyle .Cox, as Marto, was some qypsy man. Among the special numbers be tween acts none was more charming than the flower dance by little Miss Bettie Irwin and the Piemv rhor,, by the young ladies taking part in- me piay, made a great hit. Lovers ot classical music were enraptured with the rendition by Miss Mary Clark of Chopin's Troiseme Ballade following the second act. Miss 1 Clark is istudyin.g music at Walla walla this winter and was home lor the Easter vacation. Miss Violet Merritt gave the read 1 Ing, "The Debutante," in a manner that would have done great credit to many professionals, her (selection being one of the very best features of the evening and the full1 chorus j of 20 voices rendered the- Glow Worm most charmingly.

At a meeting held last January when President McClennon, of the Shearers' union was present, the matter of wages was discussed and, at Mr. McClennon's suggestion i' a price of ten cents per head was agreed upon as a fair price for the present season. It seems, however, that the men now take a different j vjew 0f the situation and are demand-1 iDg 12 cents on the ground that wool ! and sheep prices have advanced since 1 January while 'there has been no material change in the things they have to buy. Just how the matter will be 'settled is still a question but it was reported yesterday that shear- ers will be brought in from other . states who will rate. shear atthelO-cent 1 Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Booher, of Hardman, went to Portland this : morning where he goes for medical treatment. Their daughter, Mrs. Wm.

Miss Grey, who lived with Mrs. Luper in the apartment in the rear of the store, said that she was in her usual health and spirits- when they retired last evening.

Another step In the campaign to free Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings from the respective state pri sons where they are serving life sen tentences in connection with a bomb explosion here, was taken today by District Attorney Matthew Brady who addressed a letter to Governor i Stephens asking that the men be par doned. Brady's action came as the result of his promise to open court several j months ago that he would endeavor to have the governor liberate the men. In his letter to the governor, Mr. Brady said it was his belief that Mooney and iBllings were convicted on perjured evidence and that to con tinue to incarcerate them is a reflec edtion upon. justice as it is admin istered in California. He especially attacked the testimony of Frank C. Oxman, Durkee, Ore., cattleman, and John McDonald, leading witnesses for the prosecution in the bomb case. The case which became world famed and which prompted a federal invest tigation and appeal in Mooney's be half by President Wilson, was based upon the explosion of the bomb on Market street, the main thorough fare, while a preparedness parade was passing July 22, 1915. Ten people were killed and 40 injured. Mooney was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. MOST POPUAR MAN IN TOWN Lum Gordon, who has been in retire- inent for several weeks waiting for 1 better weather and a better feeling j towards weather prophot8( tg nereby notified that is is now perfectly safe for him to again appear among the haunts of men, the recent fine, warm, balmy, growing spring weather hav ing put everybody in a fine humor and clothed them with a forgiving spirit. Two weeks ago everybody was thirsting for Lum's warm, red blood but now all are acclaiming him as the Man of the Hour, and want to crown him "Queen of the May." What a difference a little change of weath- er makes in the public temper, Thanks to a few fine days, Lum Gor don is now the most popular man in town or will be when he returns from seclusion.

Heppner and Peoples Ware house teams played some near pro fessional ball here last Sunday is itt- dicated by a comparison of their", score card with those of some of thq profesional games of the day before.

If it's long distance base-running; the f mn s are looking for they need spend no money going Eaftt to seo the big league games. Heppner and Pendleton have them all faded. As sometimes happens to the best of them, Heppner showed several weak spots in the opening cantos. Broughton was not in his bortt form and the team failed with the support; he needed. The visitors promptly glommed two scores in the first and the home team failed to tally. Inj the second it was a massacre. Tha Round-Uppers nailed six bully boys! on the bani door and never batted an, eye. It was like shell shock in tlui trenches for the Heppner fans when! again 'their team, failed to function, but. when the third canto closed wltli a goose egg tin they began to revive., In the fourth Pendleton again fell! down and Heppner picked up their, first blood. That one little, lono little tally that Kid Witcraft. toted lill was worth a million bucks to Hepp ner for it meant better things In Store.
