sets Of lovers interviewer in its con-
struction was the opening bill of the
Earl Burgess Repertoire Company at
the Colonial Theatre last night.
The show is a popular-priee one and
as Is usual with such productions in

the costumes good. While the work
aud stagecraft of those in the east left
q little TO be desired, as a whole the

principal trouble with most Of the
actors and actresses lay in lack of
expression, which was particularly
noticeable in their long speeches which
the playwright seems To have distrib-

The specialties between the acts,
like the show were appreciated by
the audience, which manifested their
approval in bursts of most enthusias-
tie applause. This afternoon the com
pany produced 1.-THE Whole Damn

NAVY'S SECRET PLAY.
Tie Absentees Expect to Be In The
Lineup Soon.

There WAS another secret practice at
the Naval Academy yesterday after
noon. and the team is making salts
factory progress in every way. The
squad remains unchanged, as there
have been no additions to the hospital
list, while Meyer and Slinglun, the
only absentees, are still kept out Of
the game by the coaches. They are
expected TO be in the lineup, how
ever, by the end of the week.
The backfield, with Norton at quar-
ter, Douglass and Spencer at halves
and Ingram at full, is regarded ms a
fixture. and these four will start the
game against the Army unless the
arrangement is disturbed by accident.
Slinglun is solid at center, and Dague
and Richardson reasonably so at the
ends; but there is much doubt as TO
how the tackles and guard positions
will be arranged.
Northeroft has been taken from
fun TO play pieTsols place at left
tackle since the latter's injuries, and
has done so well that he may hold the
place. However, Piersol isstoo good
a man to lose, and he may play one
Of the guards. Magruder and Simp-
son arc still lighting for the other
tackle, with chances a shade in favor
Of the former. There is little TO choose
among Meyer, Shafroth and Wright
for the other guard.
Walter Decker, the fast back of the
Navy team for several seasons up to
last year, was an addition to the coach
ing squad yesterday afternoon.

The premature falling off of the
victims scalp robbed the audience
at the Spokane of few thrills last
night in the performance of the
Indian play, "In-We-Ne-Ha," but the
war look was replaced and proper.
ly lifted at the right time. The
rescue of the redskin hero as he
was about to be roasted at the
stake and the duel between rival
lovers were the principal scenes of
the play. Notwithstanding the fact
that the characters talked in their
native tilgue the work of the In
dians was good enough to be clearly
understood. Last nights appear
ance was the first the Indians have
made and they scored a success
from the start.
