ISLE OF SPICE"

Manager Frank Hanlin IL entitled
to congratulations for the pleasure
he has wrought this week for his
Astoria clientele at the opera house,
in securing and presenting two such
admirable schemes Of entertainment
as "The Lonesome Town on Sun
day last and the "Isle OF Spice last
evening.
\ The play last night was replete
with clever people, delicious music
an inimitable wit, and simply ablazc
with radiant color and bright effect
and kept the house on the quivive
for delightful development. There
was not an empty instant Of time
while the curtain was aloft and the
interest was unhagging until it fell,
always, upon ardent, and repeated,
bursts Of hearty applause.
There were forty people engaged
in contributing to the bewildering
and pleasurable run Of amusement,
and the story Of love and adventure,
told in musical numbers, lost nothing
in any individual case; they were all
excellent whatever greater or lesser
element they stood for in the general
presentation Of the hour. There is a
swing and verve to the music OF this
dainty opera that wins it friends on
the instant and its Interpretation was
all that could be desired at the hands
OF its leaders. The fun-makers of the
night were "Slibsy Mackinaw" and
"Micky O'Grady," taken respectively
by Harry Watson and Harry VIII
liams, while the romance centered in
Teresa" charmingl portrayed by
Miss Roberta Wilson. The whole
cast, which is far too long for the
urgency Of this notice, was splendid
ly handled and detail is denied only
on account OF time and space; for
there was compensation in every
character on the bill and no item of
assignment was slurred in the faint
est degree.
The curtain fell for the night upon
a house thoroughly well pleased with
delightful play mostly admirably
given in every sense of the world.

vERs HIS CONNECTIONS
WITH ELMoRE COMPANY

After 22 wears Of unbroken service
with, and relation to, the Elmore
Packing Company, Of this city and
coast, Walter w. Ridehalgh ycster-
day severed his connection with that

behalf, he will leave this city in the
course Of week or ten days, for his
home in Liverpool He will be ac-
.companied by Mrs. Ridehalgh and
the children, and his return to the
Pacific Coast and this city depends
largely upon the issue Of the matters
which demand the journey.
Mr. and Mrs. Ridehalgh will stop
at Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia
and New York, en- route, and will
sail from the latter city for the great
English port.
The best wishes Of host OF friends
in Astoria and all along the Oregon
coast where Mr.. Ridehalgh is inti-
mately and popularly known, almost
as boy and man, go with him in his
pursuit Of other interests, and win
continue to be his wheresoever he
may cast his lot, the chief wish be-
ing, of course, that he may return
to Astoria and take up life success
fully and happily, in due time.
