The 4 Georges.

1t may strike you that ssThe I
Georges" is "a rather unusual name
| for show, and it is. The name
has nothing to do, however, with
the bill for Wednesday night. Il
is merely the name adopted by
the Company and not the name
of a play, as some might be led
to believe. This is their fourth
season on the road and the name
is familiar to theater goers
throughout the United states.
''The 4 Georges" have been
playing across the continent this
season to crowded houses, and,
judging from their press notices,
the company is giving the best OF
satisfaction. They appear at the
Corvallis Opera House next We'd
nesdav night May nth.
ABOUT THE q GEORGES.
The Curtis was crowded at
both the afternoon and evening
performances. No possible op-
portunity for laughter seems to
have been omitted. Denver News.
Specialties form large portion
of "The q Georges" show that
opened at the Grand Monday
night. Miss Marion George in
violin numbers received hearty
applause, also Miss Agnes George
in songs, and Miss Katherine
George in Partisan dances and
contortion work .-Des Moines
News.
The a Georges are a success.
They are good comedians and
their specialties are above the
average. Marion George is an
artist of rare ability, her tech
nique is perfect. And "Kath-
arine" gave the best performance
of its kind ever seen here.-St.
Louis RepuDi1c.
The 4 Georges won't make
everybody laugh, such a thing
wouldn't, be possible; they will,
however, make all the born pes
simists happy and that is going
some.-Salt Lake Lake Herald.
The 4 Georges company is ex-
ceptionally good. There were
two specialties alone well worth
the price of admission. A violin
solo, which was four times en-
cored, rendered by Miss Marion
George, and a contortion specially
by her sister, which was one of
the most remarkable exhibitions
of its kind ever seen on, the
Provo stage.-Provo Enquirer.

MR.. BRYAN's CHANGE OF FRONT.
Fair tonight and saturday.

Mr.. Bryan is speaking for the demo
cratic ticket, but who believes that he
j. sincere: How much good can he do
for a cause that he has so repeatedly
and uncquivocally denounced! How can
he ask men now to vote for something
he has been warning them against for
eight years, and expect them to do it?
IL was not long ago that tins same
Mr.. Bryan, who il now speaking for
Judge Parker and sound money, said in
a speech;
"There is not power enough in heaven
above. or earth beneath, or in hell be-
low to make me vote for a gold stand
ard man"
Mr. Bryan. in direct reference to
Judge Parker the man whose election
he is now advocating, said in a speech
al Chicago. ILL.,, this year:
81 am sanguine enough to believe that
/ can prove to every unbiased mind that
Judge Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated by the democratic party or
any other party that stands for honesty
and fair dealing in politics. / cannot
hope to convince those who favor decep-
tion and fraud in politics, but I am sat
isfed that we now have evidence suffi-
Gent to convict Judge Parker of abso-
lutte unhtness for the nomination"
Mr.. Bryan also said of the New York
platform. which is practically the same
as the national democratic platform;
"Phe New York platform is ambigu-
Gus, uncertain, evasive and dishonest
1t you'd disgrace the democrats Of the
nation to adopt such a platform, ami it
ought to defeat as an aspirsnt for a
democratic nomination any man who
would be willing to have it 20 forth as

questions. In Illinois, in Wisconsin, in
Michigan, in Minnesota, in Indiana, in
