Dramatic Notes

Evelyn Vaughan, the pretty Kansas
university girl who plays the title role
in the eastern college Widow com
pany, is bringing out new book of
college stories in which she promises
to give George Ade a few human in
terest sketches on the real life of a
real college girl This will not be
difficult, because where Mr.. AIDE went
to college they didn't have girls. This
may account for why he always SHES
so quickly when they talk about him
being engaged.

Heir to the Hoorah," has been com

In spite of unstinted praise "The

planation is offered by New York
critic: THAT the general public is so
unfamiliar with the making of a news

pride that Los Angeles could sustain a
four weeks run of Italian grand opera
and make 1t financial success regret
that it was not even more appreciated
and that II must close so soon.
BLESSINGS brighten as they take their

In retrospect than I'm present view. and
while the critic may not always gloss
over what he would wish, and must
say plain things when he would prefer
meaningless generalities. yet there is
sorrow that the singers must go and
that the songs will be hushed, 1t has
been a month of highly educative
value: many operas have been done
in the main so well that one could OBJ

citation of them, and musically edu-
cative opportunity has been offered the
like of which few American cities ever
have. A splendid temple OF art has
been dedicated and wealth of har-
mony has been proffered, which we will
long remember.

os ANGELES has again attain

q
n OS ANGELES has again attained
to the distinction of @ producing
city. and right we'll has she car
ried off the honors. A new play and a
new opera, the latter for the first time
in America. and the former for its
inaugural anywhere, were among the
offerings last week, and they attracted
attention from every managerial office
in the land. Long accounts of these
premiers went east by wire. and longer
ones will go by letter. so that the eyes
OF the theatrical powers that be may be
said to have been focused on Los An
geles all last week.
AS to the opera Chopin it is doubt
full If it viii ever enter the popular"
ranks. It's production proved it more
of a musical curiosity than of a work
that all will want TO hear. 1t is really
a composition of Chopins own music
jnterwoven into an orchestral and vocal
score. taking as a theme his own life
1T is novel in concept. If nothing more;
and certainly Chopin's music, per Sc. is
above cavil. But it cannot be said
that, transformed into an opera, his
compositions are an unqualified success.
They are musicianly, interes ting as q
piece of composition and as to what
may be done with material intended
for other purposes. But as the man
said of the performance Of the baby
elephant, 1T isn't that he does it well
or badly, but that he does it at ALL +"
II AS to Captain Courtesy the drama

time, 1t has already been reviewed eX-
tensively in The Herald 1t is a quiet.
subdued play in most respects. and
depends for It's worth on scenic effects.
careful and skilled acting and studied
attention. The story is slight and could
be condensed into one-act vaudeville
sketch and not lose much. 1t has a
certain interest here that ii would
possess nowhere else, because it's locale
IS in this vicinity. Among play-goers
who study the artistic side of the stage
and rejoice in good, clean and high
bred plays, 1t viii make a strong ap-
peal, provided ii goes farther than
Los Angeles; but to the mass of the
public, who care for melodramatic
work. pretty comedy tinkling music and
bizarre pictures. 1t will not appeal with
any degree of drawing power. And as
the box office is really the one criterion
whereby a play may be judged. the
writer would If 1t We're put UP to him,
hate to risk any money On Captain
Courtesy"-not because It is not worthy,
but because IL Is too much So.
But success or failure, good or bad,
as individual view may hold of these
two premiers, that does not gainsay the
fact that they made up a most notable
week In Los Angeles theatricals-one
not often experienced And they were
worthy OF the attention they attracted.
The week to come promises nothing
very startling. At the Mason, the Bur-
bank and the Belasco are plays that
have been done here before. and are not
striking In their intrinsic worth either.
The great one fact inherent in the next
few days is the close of the opera sea-
son. This will end Wednesday night,
after four weeks run. In the main, II
has been success. 1t has lacked much,

Andrew Grenlin's Experience in
Growing Tame Grasses.

After we had written the article
f ound in another column urging the
sowing Of grass seed, we fortunately
care into possession of some in
teresting facts relative to the subject
from the experience Of Andrew Gren-
in, who farms in sec. 80, town of
Warrenton. Mr.. Grenlin has general
" kept set off 2l acres Of primitive
prairie on his farm for q pasture
On this piece Of land he, pastured
four cows, the feed some Ears being
not over abundant. The other year
he decided to break up this piece Of
land seeding u acres thereof to tame
grasses, white clover and timothy.
Last summer he kept in this smaller
pasture two head Of horses and four
COWS, and cut besides eight LOADS Of
hay thereon, and could easily have
cut eight loa s more. Mr.. Grenlin's
experience is fair Illus. ration 81
what tame grasses will do in this
country when given a chance.

Senior Class Plav.

The senior class at the high school
are apparently going to break all re-.
cords in the production Of their play
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
The house was sold out for tomor-
row nights peri rmance before the
tickets had been on sale, 48 hours.
The reserved seats lasted no time at
all and the sale Of general admission
tickets has been so large that it
Threatened to become impossible to
find room for all at one performance
and the manage cement announce that
tickets for the evening performance
will be accepted for the matinee.
The play will be given exactly the
same at the matinee as at night and
will be fully as enjoyable SO that it
will be matter of wisdom for all
who can to attend at 2::3O tomorrow
afternoon.
Even with this arrangement to re-
llieve the pressure for tickets it has
been thought best to give another
performance on Saturday night. Re
served seat tickets for this perform
ance will be on sale at Wees's tomor-
row at IL o'clock. General admission
tickets not used tomorrow will be
accepted at this last performance.
The class deserves the success that
| is coming their way. They have
worked hard and earnestly under the
lem ientS direction Of Miss a dans7 and
will give their play with snap and
yigor that will surprise and delight
the audience. The drama is named
1.-The Miller's Daughter 1T
abounds in thrilling situations and
lis full of action from the rise to the
fall Of the curtain. The serious and
pathetic parts are strong and well
rendered. Terrible villains, horrible
witches and comical clowns abound
and help keep the interest at a high
tension throughout the piece. The
proceeds will go to the school library.

Planting Trees Urged.


Every farm should have from five
to ten acres planted in forest trees, .
says President Worst Of Fargo Agri-
cultural College. It would greatly
improve the appearance of the land
scape and in a short time become a
source of profit. 1t has been de-
monstrated that five acres planted
with the right kind of trees and pro-
perly cultivated will, at the end of
six or eight years be more profitable
than the same area planted to wheat
or other grain.
After the trees are well started
they need no other attention than
that necessary to prevent fire destroy
ing them.
1T does not cost a great deal to
plant and care for five acres Of tim
Der and the investment is one Of the
best a landowner can make. For
looks alone it is worth more than the
cost, and for future fence posts, fuel.
ETC., i've or ten acres of timber will
prove Of great value. .

soft maple, white and green ash,
