strong attraction on the boards this week,
for in addition to four vaudeville acts
Gilbert and Sullivan's ever popular comic
opera, "Pinafore," is being presented. At
the opening performance yesterday this
old fayorite among the comic operas was
very well handled by the company, which

The character OF Dick Deadeye is being
played by George rockingham, n come
dian well-known among operagoers be-
cause OF his connection with the Bosto-
mans. with whom he sang throughout

DEPARTMENT OF
STATE ISN'T A
BIT WORRIED

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state depart
ment officials are not in the least con-
cerned in the reported intention of Capt.
Young and his party of Canadians to raise
the British flag over Isle Royale in Lake
Superior.
They point out that the treaty of 1912
expressly names the channel between
Isle Royale and the Canadian mainland as
marking the international boundry at that
point in Lake Superior so that there could
be no question as TO the American title
to the island. Moreover the state depart
ment has never heard that the Canadian
government ever challenged that title
The island is a game preserve and includes
many rich vineyards and is a favorite
summer resort for people from Chica GO

II Capt. Young trespasses on any pri-
vately owned property he will OF course be
dealt with according to the law in Michi-
gan which exercises jurisdiction over the

for the same office Every line Is brim-
ful OF wit and a chuckle develops into a
shout OF merriment rapidly
In the title role. Miss Block gives the
best comedy work she has given this sea-
son. She shows an admirable apprecia-
tion OF the fun. yet plays with the seri-
BUSINESS that farce really demands. The
scene in which she decides To run for Of
flee. after her feelings have been hurt by
her husband, was played with Just the
right touch, and again in the scene in
which she returns from the election. very
much dilapidated, was very, very funny.
One of the big hits. In fact one OF the
biggest OF the entire season, was made by
Miss Reimer as the mannish Aunt jim
Just TO look at her was enough to start
the risibilities of even the most blase,
and in speech and mannerisms she lived
up to the character. 1t was one of the
funniests things in the whole evening
when she is herself bullied a little and
made to change her mannish costume.
Mr.. Harris as Aunt Jims husband. Un-
Gle Toddie, was another well-liked fun
maker. The transition from good-natured
meekness to the assertive bully sustained
by the invigorating liquids, was extremely
funny and captally done by this clever
little actor. Mr.. Churchill. who is always
particularly good in comedy, played with
an infectious breeziness. as did Miss
Winslow and MIR. Cummings, and Mr.
Christie scored a conspicuous hit as Cut
ting Hintz.
His campaign songs in the last act
were provocative OF tremendous applause
and showed the popular young man TO be
the possessor of a beautiful voice. All
the other members of the cast were ex-
cellent In the roles allotted them, all play
ing with an admirable appreciation of the
fun of the comedy. The specialties intro
duced in the last act-the ballet and toe

and few days ago he received letter
from a girl employed I'm a commission
