"The Merry Widow," ns suns; nnd
acted at the Medford Friday evening,
is a rare delight one of those com
pletely satisfying performances sel
dom seen easily equal in the sum
of its entertainment, to a score of the
average musical comedies, which are
often painfully deficient in the es
sential elements of music, voice and
comedy.
The present company is the orig
inal New York ent, with some
changes, but in no wise deteriorated
It is of superior merit in all respects,
nnd the piece is sumptuously mount
ed. The three scenes representing
the Marsoviau embassy, the garden
of Soma's residence, and the Cafe
Maxim in Paris are fine examples of
stage nrt, and the many fine gowns
worn in the three acts add to the
completeness und costliness of the
production.
The company is very numerous,
the chorus being uncommonly large as
well as of unusual attractiveness ji
face and figure, and in the very im
portant clement of voice there is rea
son for praise. The dancing is es
pecially excellent, the Hungarian
numbers being particularly interest
ing and pleasing, as rendered in na
tive costume. The charming music
of the opera is artistically played
by an adequate orchestra, and it
scarcely need bo said that the fa
mous "Merry Widow" waltz was
many times encored.
In the element of comedy, the com
pany, like the libretto itself, i nota
bly strong. I?. K, Graham, as Po
poff, the ambassador, is almost
amusing, and in the role of Nish, the
messenger, Fred Frear is not less of
a funmakor. Hut other members of
the company, though less conspicu
ous, are likewise good comedians, and
the spirit of gayety and frolic, whib
makes this opera so deliciously en
tertaining, animates the entire cast
There are many bright and witty
lines, nnd the pervading mirth con
stantly effervesces, like bubbles in
champagne.
Mabel Wilber, the original "merry
widow," heads the present company
and is ns beautiful and ehnrming as
ever. She is a rare combination of
bewitching grace and animation
singing voice and acting talent, and
she dances divinely.
Charles Menkins, as Danilo, fills
the role admirably, catching the very
spirit of the part and impersonating
the gay and reckless prince with
laiigb-provoking jollity. He is nn ex
ceptionally good dancer.

timony. Mrs. Mary Winterhalder, near W.

"I used Doun's Kidney Pills pro
cured at Haskins' Drug Store, with
good results, when suffering from
kidney trouble, and I know of other
persons who have taken them with
benefit. Since 1 took Doun's Kidney
Pills about a year ago, I have not

hearty endorsement."

SALEM, Or., April 1. Peginning
May 20, unless prevented by invoca
tion of the referendum against the
act creating a parole board, Gov
ernor West will weed out the pris
oners who have served a minimum
of indeterminate sentences, and will
parole them to make room for more
prisoners.
Under the new parole law intro
duced by Senator MeCullough, the
governor is given power to- parole
any prisoner sentenced to prison for
tin indeterminate period any time af
ter the prisoner has served the min
imum sentence prescribed by law. At
the present time there are 150 pris
oners in the penitentiary who are
serving indeterminate sentences and
have served the minimum. By ex
ercising his parole power, Governor
West can liberate this number of
prisoners. Jt is understood that
among the prisoners subject to pa
role there are several dangerous
urimfiuuls, wanted in other states,
and according to an nlliance with
other state authorities a paroled
prisoner can be returned to any place
in which he is wanted for a crime anil
again imprisoned. In view of this
fact, the parole of many convicts
means only to place them in the cus
tody of other states, while at the
same time reducing the number in
Oregon's reformatory.
Another provision in the MeCul
lough act is that all trial judges shall
upon passing sentence, make the
same indeterminate, and pronounce
only the maximum prescribed by law.
The parole board is composed of
three members, Superintendent James
and two others. Although the gov
ernor has not made the appointments,
it is understood that James Linn of
Salem, will be one member of the
board. Mr. Linn is a hop man.
