The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-03-22
IN "TnE WARNING BELL"
The Company Did Not Get to Mitch
ell Until Late in Evening,
but Gave the Show.

The Warming Bell" company had
a hard time getting to Mitchell Mon
day. They were at Pierre, but the
Northwestern was three hours late
and allied to get to Wolsey in time
to catch the Milwaukee passenger,
consequently they had to wait until
the freight came along, which was
also late. BY urging the train crew
with all kinds of rewards they man
aged to get the company to Mitchell
a little after 9 O'Clock. The trunks
and scenery was unloaded and hur-
ried to the Gale theatre, where a
very good audience had gathered on
time and waited patiently, after
learning the circumstances of the de-
lay. Some people took their money
back rather than wait.
The members of the company lost
no time in getting ready for the
performance and within fifty minutes
the curtain went up on the first act.
The play is quite an interesting one
and contains a good story that is
we'll told and acted with care on the
part of all the company. The scenic
effect of the lighthouse in the third
act was very spectacular and it
closed with a fine climax and was
cleverly done.
Wanda Ludlow and Phil Barnard
made a good team, although they do
little work together. Mr.. Barnard
in his Jew character was exceedingly
clever, and the songs he sang made
a big hit with the audience. Miss
Ludlow caught the fancy of the pub
lie as we'll. The supporting company
filled in a strong background, partic-
ularly Raymond Gilbert, who played
Noah Reeves, the old sailor and
keeper of the light house.
Allan Stanchfield, who was a
former Mitchell boy, living here
some II or 10 years ago, played the
part of Jim Kirk, and he was very
much in evidence all the time, doing
n of the leading characters in a
manner as to indicate that he had
developed quite a large amount of
worthy dramatic talent. His young
lei friends of the city presented
him with a bouquet of flowers at the
rise of the curtain when he made his
first appearance.

Delaying The Mall.

The p~ostofioe department hould do
something to expedite the delivery OF
the Elko malls from the trt 8 to the

now by the railroad employees is an ont
rage on the people and a diss to the

The mail from No. . today did not
reach the postofice until i.t'y half an
hour after it arrived. las delay
caused several business me who had
waited a reasonable time for the mail
to be distributed, to wait rEound the
