lO "ABOVE THE CLOUDS A Large Audience Greeted the New Pine Creek Amateurs In Lake view Suturday Night. The Drama W Well Presented and Every body Was Delighted Receipts, $63. The New Pine Creek amateur dra matic company held forth at the opera house in Lakeview last Saturday even ing, and was accorded a hearty welcome. A large audience was there to greet the neighbor players and the splendid man ner in which' the pretty drama, ''Above the Clouds," was presented was an agreeable surprise to those who wit nessed it as it was well known that the drama was put on under various difficulties lack of time for rehearsal, substitution of original cast and other inconveniences. The evening's entertainment opened with a vocal solo, "Blue and Gray," by Miss Lillie Walters, which brought forth applause. When the curtain went up again it displayed a pretty scene in a mountain home. Miss Etta Vinyard as Susie Gaylord captured the audience in her graceful manner and splendid acting. Thesoubrette part is much to her liking, and she acted well. Miss Nettie Vinyard as Hester Thorne sustained admirably the part of the wronged wife; she looked it and acted it, though there was a lack of emotional work at critical points. However, this was fully made up for when the time came to show her cold, unforgiving nature and disdain lor the man who wrecked her life by his false tongue. Hester Thorne is a difficult part and Miss Vinyard handled it well. Crazy Phil, sustained by Oliver Rey nolds, was well done, though with a lit tle more practice Mr. Reynolds should certainly have given it better, as he has the proper conception of the part. The only objection wa the monotone. How ever, we dare say, that few amateurs could have improved on the character as played bv Mr. Reynolds. This was also a very difficult part. Frank Thompson, as Alfred Thorpe, the wrecker of lives and the woer of the fair Grace Ingalls, sustained his part well under the circumstances. Mr. Thompson had little practice, as this character was originally filled by Mr. Poe. Miss Ollie Hart was another substi tute in the character cf Grace Ingalls. Miss Minnie Reed was the original in this part. However, Miss Hart left nothing undone in sustaining this char acter. She did full justice to it. Miss Lura Amick and Elmer Reed as Lucretia Gerrish and Amos Gaylord, re spectively, sustained their parts well. Titus Tuttle as the man who thought more of his stomach than lie did of the fairest of feminines, was well done by Charles Oliver. His make-up was good and he was really amusing. Dexter Amick as Howard Gaylord, the persistent lover, was up to the part and demonstrated the fact that he had lost no time in practice in reality and rio fooling. Albert Gallagher as Curtis Chipman, the man of few words and straight to the point, when it came to rivalry in his affections for the fair Susie, was voted "all right" by the audience, Arthur Follet as Nat Gaylord, the poet lover, was never at a loss for words of music in his love affair. The make-up of the two latter gentlemen after their battle over Susie Gaylord was splendid. Mrs. A. J. Neiloh delighted the au dience in her recitation, "Creeds of the Bells." That alone was worth the price of admission, and Mrs. Neilon fully sus tained her reputation as an elocutionist of rare ability. The receipts amounted to about $f3, and, after paying expenses, a neat little sum was left for Rev. J. W.' Warfieid, for whom the benetit was given. Stock Sales. Last Tuesday H. R. Dunlap bought from T. B. Vernon and Price Vernon 15 yearling steers at $20 per head. Jce Howard, of Drew's valley, last week sold 140 head of leef cattle to W. T. Wilson of Horsetly, Klamath county, at 04 for cows and ti cents for steers. Creed McKendree, the young stock raiser of Bly, was in Lakeview yester day on business. Mr. McKendree has sold out of the cattle business, only re serving 25 head of picked cows from his band. The sale was made last Friday to W. F. Wilson, 12 two-vear-old beef steers, 32 yearlings and the remainder eows and calves, 110 in all. He re ceived $25 all round for the stock cattle and the leef and $12.50 for the calves, some of them only six weeks old. This is the same as $37.50 for cows and calve, which is considered a good price. Mr. McKendree says he sold because he was uncertain of the coming presidential contest, though he believes there is lit tle danger of Bryan Incoming president. However, to le sure of it, he wanted no Brvan cattle. HostBrown.
