SEE GRIFFITH TONIGHT.
The Celebrated Actor win Play "The
Avenger'' at the Opera House.

Mr.. John Griffith and his company
arrived in the city last night having
made the jump from Seattle yesterday.
With the company is sixty foot car
load of scenery which will be used at the
opera house tonight in the production
of 'The Avenger." This is Mr.. Griffith's
first appearance here and the local man
agement is gratified at being able to
secure date from him. As an actor In
his line Mr.. Griffith has few if any
equals. He first became known to fame
by his masterly rendition of Mephisto
in Faust. The play which he presents
tonight is stirring romantic drama of
the French school. It abounds with
startling situations and there is not a
dull moment in it. From a scenic point
of view the play is remarkable. Mag
nificent scenery is carried and the piece
will be mounted in exactly the same
sumptous manner that it was last week
at the Marquam. 1t is not often that q
performance of such proportions is given
here and the management should be en-
couraged by greeting to Mr.. Griffith
from a crowded house. The supporting
company is very strong being headed by
Miss Kathryn Purneil, an actor of cele-
| brated ability and beauty.
