Fire of unknown origin late Cottrell, the director, said no one was in the theater at the time the blaze wu discovered. He added, however that one of the players might have unwit tingly laid a costume over one of the lights and short-clrcuitfcd the wire. Lois M. Bowmer, art director, was making a check of the re maining attire this morning. She said that practically all of the costumes for male players wen- burned. Smoke damage was heavy on a large portion of the women's attire but rhe believed these could be sufficiently re paired for use tonight. Stage curtains and props were not damaged. Lighting equip ment was also unhurt. Makeup kits, usually stored in the men's dressing room, were undunv aged. No insurance was carried. Show Will Co On. Stunned by the unfortunate accident, production heads nev ertheless prepared to adhere to the unwritten adage of the tliea ter, iind said that the schedule would be continued. Tonight's showing of "Much Ado About Nothing" will be started at 8:30 o'clock although costumes for the performance will be vastly different than those used in the original showing. Production heads were solicit ing uniforms and other regalia among patriotic and fraterna' organizations. The play itself has a military background so the difficulties in this respect ar not consid ered too great. Costumes for Friday and Saturday nights plays, however, present a more serious problem. Reservations for tonight' play are practically sold out. The original presentation drew Baked Eggs in Toast Rings PrV) 9 , i . I V I rsr us'': i v I i N T3 AKED Eggs in Toast Rings ara a pleasant variation of Amer ica's favorite breakfast, bacon and eggs. Easy to make, they consist of eggs dropped into bread-cups and baked in muffin pans. Cut rounds of bread with a scal loped or plain round cookie cutter. Remove the center portions of half of the rounds, so that cup-like containers to hold the eggs may be formed. A small biscuit cutter is good for removing the centers neatly. Bread rounds may be cut and buttered the night before, so that in the morning only a second is needed for breaking the eggs into the pans, adding milk, and putting the muffin pans into the oven. Baka the eggs while the coffee brews and the bacon cooks. Wholesome, energy-yielding, Baked Eggs in Toast Rings are a treat for children at lunch time, and they add a festive note to a simple supper. Baked Eggs in Toast Rings 1 i slices bread butter 6 eggs 6 tablespoons milk With a scalloped cookie cutter cut rounds of bread from bread slices. Use a smaller cotter to re move center portion from 6 of the slices. Brush each slice with melt ed butter. Place plain rounds of bread in bottoms of muffin pans and top with a ring of bread. Break egg in center of each ring and add 1 tablespoon milk to each. Bake in moderate oven (350 F.) 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with broiled bacon.

PHYSICIAN SUED much favorable comment and many of the patrons who saw the first performance had indi cated intention of repeating at tendance. If second showirgs mean sny thing, there are many persons In southern Oregon who would like to see Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor" again. A packed house attended last night's presentation of this play and production head', indicated that from the response shown, the play would undoubtedly be repeated next year if the reoer toire is extended for anotner season. Ashland's civic Elizabethan theater echoed with laughter and applause last night. The audience was even larger than when the play was first shown. Response was keyed to a higher Portland. Aug. IS.
