"THE BARRIER" WILL BE
HERE TUESDAY NIGHT
After playing to overflow houses
throughout the county, "The I3a;ricr"
comes (o I ho Medford opera house
for one performance on Tuesday eve
ning. The unstinted praise of the
critics where this production has
boon given can he understood by the
Capitol Kows of IJoIse City, which Is
hut one of tho many favorable re-
, ports on this play.
"Tho dramatization qf Rex Beach's
, great story, "Tho Barrier," as pre
sented by tho company appearing at
the PInnoy theater last evening be
fore a largo audience, Is a portrayal
of Alaskan frontier life that Is In
tonso In Its Interest. It Is a drama
of tho highest typo and Is given by
a company of very capablo artists.
Without such a strong company tho
play might savor of tho niolo-drainnt-Ic,
but not so with the cast appearing
here.
Tho story of tho "Barrier" is too
well Known to necessitate review. It
Is always tho players and not tho
piny that rnnhe or tmninko a produc
tion, nnd tho players In "Tho Bar
rier" seem to have boon selected with
singular fllitoss for nil seem ndnilr
ab'ly adapted to their parts.
,MIss Helen Barham, as "Necla,"
Is charming and plays her difficult
role in a manner that could call for
nothing but favorable criticism from
tho tnost exacting. It Is when sho
learns that Bho Is a white woman and
nol a half breed, as sho supposed,
"that her talent Is shown to the best
effect. Norvnl MncGregor mnltos a
splendid army captain, and as such
be Is tho central figure In many of
the scenes of tho piny. Ho hniidles
tho climaxes well. George A. Olevo-i
land In the part of "l'oleon Uorot"
was a favorite with tho audleneo ant'
was warmly applauded. Tho partf
bf John Gale and Han Stark aro bit
terest of enemies, and are taken re
spectively by Will M. Chapman niir"
Verne Lay ton, both of whom an
strong actors. William G. Colvlt
'urnlshed tho comedy as "N'o Creel
Leo" and made a decided hit. Tin
pint df tho rfciunw was well portrayed.
GRACE CAMERON IN
"NANCY" WEDNESDA
One of this season's groat pin
suoocw, is a play called "Nniley
which was written by C. II. Ivor
author of "The IU-nnty Doctor," "Lil
tlo Dollie Dimples," "I'npn's Baby.
"Over the Fence,'' etc. TIih pice
will be presented in thi city for on
night only at tho IModtbrd thealc
and comes with a grout compam
bonded by tho peerless comedienne
Grace Cameron. The pltiy is delight
ful and refreshing, full of heart in
terest and highly diverting comed
situations. Tho production conic
here in its entirety ,the mmo as in nl
the niotropolitun citien. There hr
been some controversy among om
theatergoers a" to whether wo avcic
to have the original No. 1 (or bij.
city) company in "Nancy" or n sec
ondary company.
The mnnagement of the Mcilfon
theater wishes to inform his patron
that the original No. 1 company
headed by Clraco Onnioron, will b
the one thnt will appear here not tin
No. 2. or secondary company. It i
seldom thai our playgoers ntt nil op
portunity to witness such a sterling

Nothing succeeds like success and

inrvolous. Packed houses have
