The Cruise OF "The Good Intent"
How nice of your father, dear,

nice men to give us trip and cheer
us up, before settling down again at

The voice of a woman, tired and
faded, spoke languidly. She was ly-

peninsula on which it stood almost
an embattled island. Yet the master
of CORN House stood at the window

from his untouched breakfast to stride

THE OLD FAvORITE AGAIN
Great Audience Witnesses the rer-
formancc of THE Tender
foot" Last Night.

There couldn't have been bigger
audience in the Park opera house
than the one which greeted Oscar l..
Figman. Ruth White and their com
pany in the universally popular west
ern operatic comedy. THE Tender
foot" last night. The house was
filled to overlowing and many were
unable to get seats. A special train
brought over $50 people down frI IN
Palisade and these people had been
given the choice seats of the house.
The visitors returned home at mid
night wholly pleased with the show.
This was the third appearance in
Grand Junction of The Tenderfoot'
and it has proven great favorite
with amusement lovers of the city.
AS a breezy. clean cut. sparkling
musical comedy THE Tenderfoot"
is hard to beat and doubtless its sue
cessful run, opened several years ago
will last Ieveral seasons longer.
There has been but few changes
made in the cast since last aoiaoi
made in the cast since the company
last appeared here. Oscar Figman
is stin inimitable Prof Zachray Pet
bone. LID. B. A" and he seems 10
get better in this quaint and really
ridiculous character as the seasons
come and go. He was never more
heartily received than last night.
Pretty Ruth white. with her pecul-
iarly rich and sweet voice, was just
as charming as ever. Harry VIII
liams is still playing Hop Lee and no
Improvement could be made on the
Interpretation of the Chink character
given by Williams, Nearly all of
the other Speaking" characters are
the same.
The chorus is good looking, well
trained and graceful and its work
was very satisfactory. 1t is hardly
as large as last year. There were abotu
% girls. The company numbers
about forty people.
The stage settings are the original
ones and very few changes had been
made in the eostuming. The program
has been modified but glightly.
My Alamo Love" and I'm a
Peaeable Party" the two original
Tenderfoot songs has lost none of
their popularity They are just as
catchy and refreshing as ever.
Lawrence Coever is playing
Paul this season. He has power
ful and most pleasing voice. "a Sol
dier of Fortune" and "Adios" were
his leading numbers.
There is the same Barker" the
same Sally" and the same pat.
sy'' as seen here a year ago and they
got their share of the applause. The
dance of Hop Lee and Patsy was
one of the best features of the per
formance and they were recalled
four or five times. 1.-The Tortured
Tomcat" created a world of merri-
ment as usual
The best of the old jokes of "The
Tenderfoot" fame and many new
ones add spice to the merry jangle
of nonsense. All the best comical fea
lures are retained.
THE Tenderfoot' made good agair
Everybody was pleased. 1t was q
tip top performance all the way
through.
