Referee Judd, of Salem, an old
player and experienced official say 8
that Saturdays game was the clean
est he ever witnessed. A high COM
pliment to the players of each team.
A feature of Saturday nights en-
tertainment at the Opera House
was the excellent music rendered
by the local orchestra. With such
an organization at home there is no
excuse for sending abroad for musi.
clans for any occasion.

Mountain View Social.

The basket sociable given by the pupils
evening was success in every sense OF
the word. The night was very stormy
one. The wind and the rain that had
been continuing all day and during the
night prevented many from attending.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather large number of school patrons
and neighboring friends assembled
Those present were fully paid for their
time and trouble. The program which
lasted over an hour was well rendered.
The pupils. from the smallest to the
largest, gave an excellent account of
themselves. The program which in
GUIDED recitations. dialogues and other
features was highly enjoyed by all.
Supt Denman addressed the patrons for
short time. He urged them to take q
keener interest in their school; appealed
to the farmers to support and increase
TIE efficiency of the country school. He
showed them the relation existing be-
tween their school and their. homes and
their work, and the need of Loyalty sup
porting every educational movement.
After the program. the baskets were
auctioned off by Mr.. Denman. The nice
sum of $15 was realized. This is to be
invested in school library. The teach
er, Miss Crystal Miner, deserves much
praise and credit for the success of the
meeting. The-work of the pupils showed
how faithfully she had worked.

Saturday Nights Play.

The ever increasing size of the
audiences that witness the perform
ances of the local dramatic organ
ization of which B. w. johnson
| is business manager and Geo. L..
Paul stage director testify to the
popularity Of these entertainments.
Notwithstanding the large number
of extra seats provided, the opera
house was literally packed .Satur-
day night to see the production of
the farce comedy Troubles of a
Married Man." 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that very few profess
sional companies that play in Cor
Wallis give such pleasing and artis-
tic performances as those presented
by this local organization.
Mrs. B. w. johnson and Mr.. Geo.
L. Paul constitute the principal
element of the companies strength,
and lift its performances out Of the
realm of the ordinary amateur
production. Their every appear
ance il creases their hold upon Cor
Wallis theatre goers. Mr.. Paul, as
Blondet, did not have the oppor.
tunity for effective work he has
sometimes had. Mrs. Johnson's
Madame Pou;ard was very strong
and was perhaps the best thing she
has done before a Corvallis audi
ence.
The exceedingly difficult role of
Poulard Was in the hands of Mr..
Johnson and he acquitted himself
with more credit than ever before.
No mistake was made in casting
Mrs. George Paul for one of the
most important characters, that of
Suzanne. Although this was Mrs.
Paufs first appearance before the
theatre going public her easy stage
presence and the manner in which
she sustained the most difficult
situations was a surprise to her
friends. The part admitted OF ele.
CANT costuming and Mrs. Paul's
gowns were feature of the produc-
tion.
Harry Davis impersonatien of
Martinez was clever, and much
credit for the success of the play is
due to Messrs. Beaver and Bates
and Misses Roberts and Garfield,
who sustained the minor rolls as.
signed them 10 most pleasing
manner. -
Altogether the production was
the smoothest and most artistic of
any this organization has given.
The play itself, however, is not up
to the standard of those heretofore
presented. It is translated from
the French and adapted to Ameri-
can ideas by Clyde Fitch, clever
young New York reporter, and it is
likely that in the adaptation it lost
some of its original life and action
consequent upon the expurgation of
Objectionable features.
