Notes Of "A County Girl"

The first act of "A Country Girl af-
fords a delightful realistic view of a
Devonshire estate with it's varied types
of characters that one would expect
to see. The second act is laid in the
interior of the palace of fine arts Lon
don where all the grand danes and
lords of the nobility gather for a fancy
dress ball. There are many exquisite
and delicate fairylike episodes occur
here. This musical play throughout
is replete with humor, and tuneful mel
odies. Unique and beautiful costoumes
are worn in this act. The scenic and
electric effects are said to be very elab-
crate. The full production will be
seen here and the regular New York
chorus of famous beauties The COM
pany is booked to appear here two
nights. February IS and 10.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-02-07

members to the electoral college, Ka-
Fan, with five representatives in parli-
ament and Staropal with three repre-
sentatives, were carried by the pppo-
sition. The province Of Orel, with
eight representatives apparently gives
slender majority to the Octoberists,
and monarchists. In Kiev, with Is,
Moscow, with s and Nizshni Nov Cor
cd with representatives. the result
will be close with the chances in favor
of the opposition.
Two of the leading political lawyers
Of st. Petersburg, Margotin and Mar
guliex, and brother Of Father Gapon
an extreme radical, are among the sue
cessful candidates in Kfev. M. Falla-
din, head of the group of toll, has not
been returned from Himbirik. Returns
show the election of several more
! members of group of toll.
The general trend of the election:
appears favorable to the left party.

ADJUSTMENTS
"RED FEATHER" TOMORROW.

Red Feather" the romantic comic
opera in two acts by Reginald DeKo-
ven. with libretto by Charles Klein, OF
Music Master and Lion and the
Mouse" fame and lyrics by Charles
Emerson Cook. will be presented at the
Keylor Grand theater, February 8. The
scenery, costumes and special effects
cost Florentz Ziegfeld about $4,000
therefore it's splendor is unQuestiOned.
Joseph NJ. Gates has furnished a
strong company with the well known
prima donna. Cheridah Simpson, at the
head of it, and a big and attractive
chorus behind her. The tremendous
however, is said to be due, in large
mea sure, to the musical score which is
in Mr.. DeKovens familiar and most
pleasing vein. The soprano music is
full of brilliant bits of melody and
evidently of an ambitious character.
Throughout the score there are effect
i've choruses, of distinctly musical
value, original, tuneful, well Orches-
trated and ingenious. Mr.. Klein has
told his story well. The comic element
| is very inspiring and mirth provoking.
Mr.. Cooks lyrics are clever and grace
full and said to blend nicely with their
musical settings. The story of the
opera has to do with the mismanagel
affairs of the kingdom of Romancia.
where an unpopular crown prince IS
deposed by the Countess Won Draga, as
Red Feather. chief of band of con-
spirators, and Captain Travors is elect
ed to his place. The piece is divided
