"The Heir to the Hoorah" the ORA
matte Comedy Treat Of the Season.
Those VINO failed to see The Heir
to the Hoorah," at the Odeon Monday
night, and the humble was large,
missed The par excellent dramatic
treat of the season. a small audience
presentation, was one of the most thor
oughly delightful stage treats of the
season, and for that matter for several
years.
When Paul Armstrong wrote The
Heir to the Hoorah," he put SO much
Of human nature and interest in 1t
that it cannot fail to appeal, even IL
smothered under a title that smacks
more of an Irish farce comedy than
anything else. When Kirk LaShelle
prepared the piece for presentation he
did it with a th~oroughness character
istic of the very best.
In the selection of the cast an APP
parent and most successful effort has
been made to fill and round out every
part with q capable person. With
such exactness and fidelity to detail
has this been carried out that, when
a Jap was wanted for Hush, a Japan
csc valet, H. 8. Mashida, a full fledged
Japanese, was presented to the audi
ence to fil the place.
The story Of the play is an old one
in a new dress. A mother, proud,
naughty, but bankrupt, bargains into
marriage her daughter, a really low
able girl, with Joe Lacey, the million
aire owner If the Hoorah mine. With
Lacey it is a case of true love. The
daughter is thoroughly dominated by
her mother, and the latter, by her con-
tinual and caustic criticism n nag
ging, makes life miserable for the SON
in-law, and the daughter finally
spurns her husband and drives him
away.
Almost a veal follows, and the hus-
band returns nome to find that a son
and heir has been born. With the ar
rival Of her son., h owe of the
mother goes out to its father, but her
words of dismissal still burr in his
heart, and keeps him from her. But
the wife's love prevails, and h goes
to him in preference to her mother,
and a happy reconciliation precedes
the closing curtain.
AS joe Lacey fTank MOuIoC was lAAS

with his wife, and loved by his rough
western pals" AS his wife, Miss
Alice Murell was excellent, altho she
perhaps lacked a little in uplifting her
self to the climax of the reconciliation

tho the part, savored OF being a trifle
o~verdone. This same criticism might
be offered in most Of the cases OF the
miners. OF the latter Ralph Dean, as
Bud Young, and Harry D. Crosby, as
Dave Lacey, were especially good.
Among the ladies Of the company Miss
Helene Lackaye. as Mrs. Kate Bran
don, must be accorded a high place.
Tn. other members of the company
were all good, and the staging and
dressing OF the piece was all that could
be desired.

Buildings and Grounds Committee So
Reports, But Others Would Defer.

Chairman Gregory, Of the buildings

council Monday night presented a res
olution to accept the bid of Lacey J..
Patterson for the city's fourteen acres
northwest of Highview addition at $3.50
per acre, subject to the conditions Of
his bid, and the lease of G. L. Duffield
on a portion of the land. Gregory
moved the adoption of the resolution

ward councilman said he knew Of a re-
sponsible bidder who would give more
for the land within a few weeks time,
and make the city 5000 or $500 more.
Clark didn't just like the idea Of max
ing the transfer until certain matters
could be looked into, and wanted to
