s the first appearance of the
great G. G.. &. Company.
This renowned performance
will be given at Reeds opera house

'ured success in advance, and there
8 no doubt but that the theater will
)e packed from the orchestra to the
opmost seat in the gallery. 1t will
)e a representative audience, as all
If our most prominent society peo-
,le will be there. and the scene will
,e an animated one. The programme
o be presented by the company will
,e an exceptionally good one, and
t is doubtful If any city in the
country could produce its equal.
The leading characters in
he company is composed of
ome of Salem's best talent, and

ion of their ability is really neces-
ary. Miss Halle Parrish, Oregon's
loted singer, will take an active
'art, and Is making preparations to
un a surprise on her friends. Miss
Parrish is to-day without an equal
s sweet singer on the Pacific

many have, who do not possess one
lalf her talent, her name would to-
ay be blazing from every paper in
he land. Other noted persons will .
Anticipate in this exercise which
'ill be spoken of hereafter. =
