AUDITORIUM.

A melodrama, full of action. love
comedy and heart interest entitled
KNOBS O Tennessee" will be the
offering by the Shirley Co. next
week, commencing Sunday even
ing. The scene of the play is laid
in the mountains of Tennessee and
the plot is built up around the IL
licit liquor traffic. A mother, see
ing her own boy about to be hang
ed for a murder of which he is in
nocent, shots him down in the
presence of the officers and is ar
rested and condemned to pay the
penalty for the crime. All efforts
are made to save her and this is
finally accomplished. although the
mother becomes mad through the
thought of her sons danger. But
this is only l part of the plot, which
Is more or less intricate. There Is
a marriage between her other son
and a wealthy young girl, who mar
ries him in spite of parental objec-
ton, and the father and a lover
scheme and conspire to break up
the marriage, only to be completely
baked. The faithfulness of the
wife in the face OF adversely and
her undaunted courage forms a
pretty part In the play. The COM
edy in the bill includes negro, an
Irishman and a Swede. The play
is we'll written and calls for more
than ordinary stage settings. Miss
Shirley has announced her inten-
ton of returning to the company
Sept. 90. when she will appear in
the dramatic play, "When Knight
hood Was in Flower" This play is
the most pretentious and highest
royalty play the company has ever
played here and 1t is the intention
of Miss Shirley to make the pro-
duction the very best the company
ever played.

TAKING CANDY
FROM BABY

1t was no credit for the Indians
to lick Vancouver yesterday. Every.
body just played along because
that's what they're paid for. and.
somehow, 1t is as natural to win
against the Canadians as 1t Is to
4epent money.
y The Indians were compelled to
brighten up bit on the start when
the Canucks bagged 2 runs on 3
hits. After that the score showed
all ciphers for them until the end
In 2 different innings the local team
negotiated 4 runs and the l in the
third made total of 3. Nine to
2 the score was.
Manager willie" Hurley says
that II it wasn't for his team COM
ing here the Indians wouldn't have
any batting average. But they have
1t now all right. for they've all fat
tened up on Hurleys disjointed ag-
gregation.

California romance as depicted in

excellently presented last evening
and will be repeated this afternoon

life on the coast in the fifties and
has a love story spiced with danger

from the address. somg Of the early
selling, also was in anticipation Of
the unfayorable character of the bank

factor in causing the reduction of the
