PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1927. CHAUTAUQUA PLAY INCLUDES RIPPING COMEDY AND HAIR RAISING ADVENTURE 'Believe Me Xantippe" Keeps Crowds Guessing and Laughing; Attraction Here Fourth Evening. Item Ft tiK THE mystic world of make believe in which the theatre live9 has something about it which appeals to all mankind. The Savages in the wilderness with their stories of ad venture and death, the religious fan atics of the Middle Ages, with their miracle plays, the Chinese of today, in which men play all the parts and follow an elaborately artificial ritual and the great American public scat tered from the smallest villages to the largest cities all have had a com mon interest in the play. Never more, than in this year of 1027, has the play held the center of the stage, both figuratively nad liter ally. In selecting the plays for the pres entation this year, the management has tried to secure a balance by hav ing one play a romantic love story, while the other is primarily an ad venture. "Believe Me Xantippe" is the one that deals with adventure. It tells the story of a young man who was tired of his useless life in the city, who had more money than he knew what to do with and who was seeking adventure. As a result of a bet with two of his friends, one of them a lawyer, the other a chief of detectives, he dropped out of sight mysteriously to spend a year as a fugitive from justice. His bet was that he could elude the law for that length of time. He shows up later in the wildest parts of the western wilderness, where he meets the first girl in his life that ever made his heart skip a beat. She makes it skip in both di rections because he falls in love with her and she, being a deputy sheriff, takes him prisoner. He escapes and rescues her from a western gunman, who finally gets a drop on both of them and but to go on would be to give the story ahead of time. There are almost as many thrills in "Believe Me Xantippe" as there are in some of the serials that are featured by the cinema houses. Then, there are plenty of laughs as the hap less young fugiitve from justice tries to extricate himself from his diffi culties. Finally, there is the romantic interest of the rich young society man and the courageous girl from the western plain. "Believe Me Xantippe" has all the essentials of a successful stage pro duction. It abounds in color, in swift action, good dialogue, ridiculous comedy, and strong heart appeal. Like all Chautauqua plays, "Be lieve Me Xantippe" is clean from start to finish, and not a line in it could give offense to the most par ticular. The Chautauqua movement is doing more to furnish good plays to communities which otherwise could not see plays at all or could see only those which depend on appeals to pas rion or prejudice to secure their crowds. In many cities, the Chau tauqua has come to be looked upon as the successor of the Opera House of thirty years ago. Few good play com panies can afford to tour the country with the modern expense of tranapor tation, but the Chautauqua overcomes this by having an assured crowd ev ery day in the week. "Believe Me Xantippe" has a mem orable record of Broadway success hack of it. It made good in other metropolitan cities and has proved its right to a key position on this year's Chautauqua program. No Vacation For Your Sanitary Conscience From State Board of Health. Vacation time is here, and once again the call of the great outdoors is heard. The mountains, the rivers, the lakes, and the seashore are cast ing their magic spells. He is indeed beyond redemption who does not fall a willing victim to their enchantment. The lure of lavish nature has in it the promise of mental as well as phy sical reawakening. Those who an swer her call must leave the cares and worries of their everyday lives behind. He obtains most from his va cation period who least heeds the de mands of civilization. There is one demand of civilization, however, which cannot be overlooked for its neglect leads to illness, dis ease nad even death. SANITATION must follow man wherever he goes. In order to enjoy a vacation to tha utmost one must bring along his san itary conscience; for unlike cares and worries, one's sanitary conscience cannot safely be left at home. A person who brings his sanitary conscience along will see to it that all his excreta and wastes are properly disposed of, in order that they may not endanger the comfort and health of others. He will use great care in the choice of his drinking water. He will drink water of questionable pur ity only after it has been boiled or has been chemically treated. He will protects his food supplies from flies and rodents. If the vacationist is a tourist his sanitary conscience will demand that when he stops at a tourist camp he stop at one which has been approved by the state board of health. His san itary conscience, moreover, will prompt him to help keep the camp in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condi tion. Should he run over to the sea shore his sanitary conscience rebels against promiscuous dumping of gar bage or waste of any kind upon the beach. That which he would not do at home his sanitary conscience would not permit him to do away from home, Vacation time is here, and once again the call of the great outdoors is heard. When you take to the road be sure that your sanitary conscience accompanies you. FOR SALE Am offering my resi dence property, also household goods at a sacrifice for quick sale.
