was a most brutal and wanton affair
Wee was employed with Chin Yu Loung,
another Chinaman, picking hops near
st. Helena, Napa county. Loung bad
the best part OF the field in which to

duction, The Passing Snow, now playing

November 5th. The idea of the piece IS
to travesty in pleasing manner the
dramatic successes OF the past year or so,
and this it does in a highly amusing
way. Sowing the Wind, The Second
Me Not, the Gilbert and Sullivan operas,
the general run of comic operas. the ger.

many of the famous and popular ACTORS
come in for gentle bit of satire.

cleverly organized simply for the pur'os
