WALLA WALLA TO SEE UNIQUE DEPARTURE
IN M|NSTRElSY WHEN MRS. PRIMROSE SINGS

ance On the concert staee, She con-
tinued in concert work for some two
years, appearing in many eastern cities
with great success. Three years ago
while singing in Buffalo, she accident
ally met Mr.. Primrose. 1t was a case
of love at first sight and in six months
the young concert singer and the vet
eran minstrel man were married. The
bride then gave up her thoughts of
musical career to preside over the pref
ty home at Mount Vernon, N. Y.
Mrs Primrose has a magnificent
voice, which shows the result of careful
training and which has not been
hardened or strained by years of
weary stage work. The songs which
she will sing during the first part of
her husbands performance and in
which she will be assisted by the en-
tire male chorus, are such as the
waltz song from Princess Bonnie"
and Schubert's "Serenade." Music of
this sort will give a distinct flavor to
the regular minstrel performance.
which will prove a pleasant novelty to
the satiated theatergoer.

WHERE ARE THE GAMBLERS
That's The Question People Are
Asking Every Day

Have the gamblers left Walla Walla
and their bonds of $500 each-or are
they hiding away until their attorneys
determine whether they can escape
through a technicality of the law?
Rumors are flying through the air
TODAY that only one of the seven men
is in the city. The others did not ap-
pear.
When the arraignment of other de-
PENDANTS was held in Judge Brents' Of
flee this morning, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Rupp was ready to arralgn the
naughty seven" AS he was about
to call the cases, Attorneys Gose and
Cain asked that the arraignment be
at later date. They wished to de-
termine the validity of the statute un-
der which the men were arrested.
An attempt was made to set the
hearing Tuesday. Mr.. Rupp objected
for the reason he wanted to know
what he would have to fight. He said
the matter was news to him. 1t was
agreed to take it up before Judge
Rrents tomorrow morning.
Some of the police officers express
the opinion the men are in hiding un-
til the question is determined. Others
say the gamblers have left the city.

Mrs. Primrose herself. Since her mar
riage to George Primrose three years
ago, she has argued the question time
and time again to her husband, en-
deavoring to show him the good points
of her plan, but for long time he re-
fused to seriously consider such a
thing and laughed away the sugges-
tons of his wife. However, he has
finally come to Mrs. PrimrOse's way of
thinking and the first venture of this
sort will be made during the engage
ment of the company in Walla Walla.
Mrs. Primrose is especially well
equipped, both by nature and educa-
ton for the work she has planned for
herself. Born in Oakland, Cal, she
has spent the greater part of her life
in a study of vocal music. When quite
a young girl she went to New York,
where she studied, for the most part,
under the instruction of Harry Luck
stone. one of the leading baritones of
the country.
1t was while studying with Mr.. Luck
stone that the young girl, then Miss
Esther Nerney, made her first appear
