MclOdrama VIII BE Presented Thurs
day Night.

The story of "Why Girls Leave
Home which Will be the attraction
at the oregon on Thursday, December
g. is said to be one of the unusual
dramatic plays of great intensity. The
story is that of a young and beautiful
girl whose character is misunderstood
by her elder brother. who seeks To
drive instead of coaXing her and she
is induced TO believe that there is
more in Bohemian" life than in the
quiet life of her home. She is saved
from the evils Of that kind of life by
good friends and constant lover,
and all ends happily with virtue tri-
umphant and villainy exposed and
punished, Mr.. f.. J, Carpenter has
spared no expense in staging the
play; the scenic investure being very
elaborate, while the members of the
company are people especially suited
to the characters they portray.

famous operetta, "The Merry Widow"
Ruth, the baby elephant, is a good ma
tured little pachydrem, but she reach
ed point in her rehearsals in the
arena the other day at Rochester
where she considered herself impos
ed upon, and showed plainly that she
thought patience had ceased to be a
virtue. She is rehearsed every day
by her trainer to the strains of the
dreamy Merry Widow" waltz, as the
undulating quality of that particular
waltz is admirably suited to the exer-
else of Ruth's terpsichorean accom-
plishments and one day the trainer
noticed that Ruth was thirsty and
fatlgued but insisted that she finish
her rehearsals as she was booked to

and blew the music of the famous
waltz from the racks on the band
stand in the animal show down into
the arena where she was striving
with new cues. The sheets of music
had no more than settled on the
ground when Ruth with characters
tic feminine intuition seized upon the
objects of her aversion and with true
elaphantine neatness and dispatch,
conveyed them one by one with her
trunk 10 her mouth and proceeded
to chew them up with much gusto.
Ruth can be seen at the Oregon
theater December 4 and 5 with Al w.
