The matinee girl may be a charm
ing creature but as a dramatic critic
she does not shine with brilliancy. At
the Ibsen matinee Thursday several
young women watched Miss ONeil's
performance with evident displeasure.
They turned and twisted In their
seats, made audible remarks concern
ing the stars looks, ability and dress
to the discomfort of those who were
there for the purpose of watching the
play, and when the curtain fell on
like so many magpies.
A young man sauntered up the aisle
and was greeted with gurgles of de-
light by the young women.
How do you like herr" he queried.
referring to the actress.
She is simply horrid." said one
fair critic. while the others enthusi-
astically nodded their approval of
her views. she can't touch one side
of Florence Roberts"
This bit of slang met with vocifer-
Gus applause. Nance ONeil. who in
other cities has been called the Amer
lean Bernhard, is not as good as an
actress whose engagements are limit
ed to the smaller cities and towns,
and who. to be perfectly candid.
verges very closely on the line drawn
between metropolitanism and barn
storming.
Heaven preserve the matinee girl
but don't trust her criticisms.

GOOD MINSTREL SHOW.

packed house greeted AL G.
Fields Greater Mlnstrels last night
at the Spokane and thoroughly en-
Joyed the very entertaining program
rendered. 1t is doubtful whether q
better performance of it's class has
been given here during recent years.
The scenic effects were excellent,
including panoramic view of Ameri-
cas- metropolis, the spectacle Grown
ed With the Tempest" and the gor-
geous transformation, Peaceful Val
ley"
Many old time favorites were in the
cast and the songs of Billy Murray,
Harry Skunk, J. e. Blamphin, John
Dickens. Matt Keefe and Reese Pros
ser won enthusiastic encores.
A new feature in minstrelsy was
introduced. "The Musical BARRIERS of
Seville" where every motion of the
tonsorial artists, even to the strap
ping of razors. was productive of a
tune of some sort. and the tunes
ranged from ragtime to I'll Trova-
tore"
A feature not hitherto seen here
| was the Tropical Travesty, King of
| the Filipinos," political satire by
Louis Weslyn along the lines of
| George AIDES Sultan of Sulu." The
scene represented an American camp
in the Philippines attacked by Zero
cious looking natives, who are routed
and dispersed by the company cook
and kettle of hot water.
Other and more familiar features
were the Faust family of acrobats
the D'Arvilles, bell ringers; plantation
sketches and melodies and the usual
jokes of the end men.

repeated this afternoon and will be
given this evening.

In other cities. principally in the

have had the Ibsen craze for severa
years.
Ibsen matinees are n necessary

trend their way to the theater BEN

go in droves with an extra supply Of

ANOTHER MAN VANISHES
Henry Turner Has Been Missing
for Two Weeks

Another mysterious disappearance
has occurred in Grants Pass and adds
its puzzling features to the unsolved
mysteries Of which Southern Oregon
has lately had more than its share.
Henry Turner, a man who came here
from Chico. Cal, few months ago
has been missing for nearly two weeks
and nothing can be learned Of his
present whereabouts or his possible
fate. He was last seen on the night
OF Thursday, June IS. He worked that
evening as COOK at Mrs. Strobel's
restaurant on Sixth street. Some
time between 10 and II o'clock in the
evening he started for home, going
through the alley in the rear of the
restaurant toward his home in the
west part Of town. As far as known
he has not been seen since that time.
He was expected to return to work at
the restaurant on the following day.
Whether he was overcome by sickness
or met with foul play in some form
or quietly left town, can only be
conjectured. No reason is apparent
why he should have abseonded. He
had been square in his dealings and.
while he owed a few dollars tc
different parties. the sum was incou-
siderable. Turner lived alone and
had a considerable amount Of furni
ture in the house he occupied This
does not appear to have been dis
turbed.
The missing man was about 40 or
10 years Of age, rather dark com
pleIioned and of medium size. He
wore his hair in the pompadour
fashion He came to Grants Pass
some time in April and has followed
the occupation of house cleaner dur
ing the greater part of the time he
has been here. Nothing is known Of
his antecedents or relatives, but he
has told that his wife and children
perishcd in forest fire and he always
seemed greatly affected when that
subject was approached.

Business in Southern Oregon is in
