Glen Echo-~oIirette.-

~Oiivette." Audran's always tuneful and
amusing naval opera, viii be the Offering
OF the Parry Opera Company this week,
at Glen Echo "The Mikado" sufficed to
establish the reputation of this organiza-
ton as one Of the strongest Summer
combinations ever seen in Washington,
and considering the prices of admission,
quite comparable to the celebrated Cas-
tie Square Company. which has captured
New York since its early success in the
Capital City. While the cast includes
several clever comedians. Mr.. Parry's is
essentially a singing company. and the
chorus is said TO fill the vast amphitheater
with a volume of sound that has never
been heard in it before. Moreover the
principals have gauged the acoustic prop
critics OF the place so thar they are now
heard to much better advantage than at

covered the strong voices and will put
them to the front. Thus Alleen Crater,
who last week carried off the soprano
honors in the usually secondary part of
Pitu Sing, this week is rewarded with
promotion TO the title role, in which her
sprightly acting should win great ap-
plause. 'Olvette" is essentially for a
soubrette and It has been a long time
since singer Of Miss Crater's talents in
the comedy line has tried IT, The cast
complete will be as follows:

OF The mana cement to add new attrac-

Washington is a good deal different
from New York. and perhaps Il Is NOT 10
be wondered at that members Of :he two
stock companies here az present should
find much 10 confuse and mix them. And
then it must be considered that players
are unduly fond Of joking each otherand
that many of the tales that reach ene's
ears cannot be taken at their face value
Be that as it may. Alexander kearuey
says he saw Margaret Mayo pOking PEN
nies into one Of our new gilded mail box
es the other day in the expectation Of re-
ceiying a stick OF chocolate in return.
while Miss Mayo declares that she knows
il 10 be a fact that her tormentOr has
put two letters in the street garbage cans
since he has been in town.
Meanwhile Alleen Crater is accused OF
making three miles trying 70 spell the
word Washington from the letters on
our lampposts. William IngersOu rode six
times around town in trying to reach the
end of the road on one OF those car lines.
which circled and came back TO their
starting point and even Jimmy Bar
rows took the big opening OF the navy
yard for a tunnel leading 10 Baltimore
But perhaps the best Jest of all is told
on Jay c. Taylor the popular tenor Of the
Parry Opera Company who set out 20
ma INe Monument IQe OLner Gay without
having the faintest idea as TO where il
was After wandering about for an in
conceivable length of time and being ad-
vised to go in all directions. Mr.. Taylor
found himself on an f Strfeet car bound
for some indefinite point in the north
eastern section of the city. He was keep
ing a sharp lookout for anything that
might turn up and had just finished go
ing in raptures over the Capitol when he
dfSoprrEH fnrrr y-l1i he hot
followed out exactly all descriptions he
had been given of the Washington Monu-
ment
Without even waiting TO signal the
conductor he swung of the car and pro
ceeded to the spot at a dog trot- There
the structure stood massive and strong
1t didn't seem nearly so tall as 1t should
have been. but then Mr.. Taylor supposed
that accounts of its height had been ex-
aggerated- He was just finishing his
ninth trip around it looking for a door

were at Kernan's last week, were neither
better nor worse than the general run
but they were bad enough, and had they
been excused at each performance the re-
gret would have been far from everlast-
ing.
An admirable bit of character work was
the Surgeon Fielding of Alexander Kear-
ney in Held by the Enemy" The part
was done with an ease and quiet dignity
that threw into sharp contrast the pow
erful bits in the stronger scenes and
made every degree of extra force show
with astonishing clearness and strength.

while the prominence the role assumed
was entirely due 10 it's handling Mr..
Kearney was altogether excellent. He Is
a clever player.
Susie West, a local woman who ap-
peared on Monday night at Manager Ker-
mans benefit, gives great promise of fu-
ture excellence. She is petite, pretty and
pleasing her dancing being neat and
graceful. In addition to this she sings
! we'll and throws into her selections a
great deal of the brightness and vim that
go to make up what is oftenest alluded
TO as chic. Miss West should not find IL
difficult to secure a leading place in some
road company and to make a hit after
ward.
One of the most energetic and deter
mined men in town is Arthur Percy Har-
RS, who wrote the music for The Hula
| Girl After the orchestral strike on
Tuesday night Mr. Harris labored hard
to get men to fill the places of the delin-
/ quents but unable TO do this, finally sat
down on Thursday and played the accom-
( paniment to the opera on a piano, direct
ing the people meanwhile, prompting oc-
I caSionally and keeping the chorus in time
| with the motions of his head. Nothing
that went on escaped his attention. 1t
was hard work and long work, but he ac-
complished it successfully And several
people who had not much opinion of the
/ young composer before are now ready TO
swear by him. After all, man with such
pluck and perseverance cannot come out
far behind in the race for existence.

WHAT IS MEANT BY COMMON
WHEAT TERMINAL.


ASTORIA. Sept. 3.-Editor Astorian:
There seems TO be some mlsunderstand-
ing OF what ls meant when we speak OF
common wheat terminal for Astoria.
Allow me to give my views on this sub
ject.
There are some. extensive wheat grow
ing centers OF the Inland Empire. eaea
one OF which-being situated on the
Northern Pacific and o. r. K y. COM
pany's railroads as well-has doupe
outlet for It's grain. Some sraIn from
each Of these centers is carried by the
Northern Pacific to Puget 3odn1 and
some from each Is carried BY the o. r. q
n. Companys railroad down the Colum-
bla. These centers include the cities Of
Wal!a Walla. Spokane. Dayton and
Waltsburg in the State OF Washington
and Pendleton and Athena in oregon
Lewiston in Idaho and others.
Let VS. FOR the sake OF convenience cal
each one Of these points having such
double outlet a Common Point Of tbs
Inland Empire"
Now. as understand u. We are insist
ing that the freight rate on grain between
these common points Of the Inland En-
7 plre ana Astoria via the o. r. & n Com
pany's railroad shall be as low as th'
freight rate On grain between these sam
Inland Empire common points and Puse

In that We are decidedly right
