a successful young attorney who had
believed himself too busy to fall IN
love, but at sight of Grace he had
Capitulated. During the fortnight OF
her stay he had made ardent love and
did not doubt that in time his suit
would be favorably received. The girl

A RARE PRIVILEGE.

Introducing Frederick Warde to
a Corvallis audience is not like pre-.
senting new actor for many peo-
pie he have already seen him on
the stage. For several years Mr..
Warde was associated with Louis
James and periodically visited the
Pacific Coast including Portland
among the cities where they ap-
peared. This combination has al
ways been regarded as the strong
est one visiting Oregon's metrop-
oils, and those who have seen
Warde in 'Richard IIT' "Othello"
and midsummer Nights Dream"
have recollections of an actor of
exceptional talent and superior
ability.
Mr.. Warde has been playing
Shakespearian roles for thirty nine
years, his first part being in ''Mac-
beth.'' Latsr he supported Edwin
Booth and John Mccullough, both
at the top of their profession at
that time
That Mr. Warde is an &C or of the
first rank th re can be no doubt. In
his recitals of Shaksspearian dramas
he is the same finished artist that
he is when beading his company
supported by Mr.. James and Kath-
crime Kidder.
A resident of Corvallis in speak
ing of Mr.. Warde last week. said
that while he was attending school
in the East Mr.. Ward addressed
the students and that he can't re-
call no incident of his life that
caused more lasting or more fav-
orable impression than Mr.. Warde's S
talk on Shakespeare and his plays.
Be it remembered that residents
of this city will have tbs rare priv
ilege of hearing Mr.. Warde here
