The Joe Newman Concert Co. enter
tained two large audiences at the opera
house last week and the crowds were
entertained in the highest sense of the
word. The troupe is made up OF high

bright. witty and clean. They are gen.

can always secure profitable hearing.

Tho Lamar High school will open
for the year on Sept. 9th, with bright
prospects for successful term than
over before. During the last school
year larger number Of students en-
tered the High School than during any
previous year OF the schools history,
but from tho number that have already
arranged to enter this term it is evil
dent that last years enrolment will be
surpassed. The high standard that our
school has kept in the past will be fully
maintained during this term. Miss
Ruth Scott Of Puebl o, who will assist in
High school, comes from the State Uni
versity with Recommendations OF the
the very highest character. A large
and enthusiastic High school seems to
be assured.
Ora Cooper was at home for few
days visit last week. He went on to
New York Saturday evening to resume
his engagement with "The Shepherd
King" which will open the season in
Boston on Oct. 3. He has one of the
l-ading parts in this great play. Some
idea of the magnitude Of Wright Lori
mer's production Of 1.-The Shepherd
King" may be gained from the fol owing
data: Five GO foot cars are required to
move the production; the master me-
chanic, his assistant, and the stage car
penter OF the theater, use 26 men to set
the scenery for five acts; the property
master with the property man OF the
house and his assistant have 10 clearers
handling the props; the electrician with
the ,heater electrician and hia assistant
need the aid of 10 operators to handle
the lighting effects. In all, working
force of 81 men is employed back OF the
scenes-more people than are generally
seen on the stage IN many important
prod This, Of course, in addi
tion to the l5O people on the stage in
character. Wright Lorimer's produc-
tion of The Shepherd Kirg" will only
be seen In four Of the large cities next
season. Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
cago will probably be the only places
outside Of New Yor which will have
the opportunity OF seeing this magnifi-
cent spectacle before season after next.
