A day or two ago there appeared a
notice in one of the metropolitan papers
to the effect that there was a movement
on foot for the establishment of a Will
annette Valley theatrical circuit This
circuit was to take in all the. principal
towns in the valley and the intention
seemed to be to bill good stock compan-
les over the route once in every two weeks.
From what we are informed Corvallis is
not included in the circuit.
]. M, Deeds, of Eugene, who has been
engaged at the task of painting scenery
for the local opera house for the past two
or three weeks, has completed his lRbors,
The work has been most artistically
done and is credit to Mr.. Deeds. The
difference in the appearance of the
stage will be very noticeable to
theatre-goers this fall. Mr.. Deeds,
while a young artist, has had a vast
amount of experience in scene-painting
in all sections of the United States, and
his work will easily pass critical inspec-
tion. The gentleman's next work is in
Tillamook and he has taken his depart
ure for that point.
