ADJUSTMENTS

The Streeter-Bryan company gave
an excellent production of "The Res
direction" at the oregon last night
The roles of Dimltri and Katusha
taken by Streeter and Bryan were
presented in a masterful manner as
good as ever seen in Pendleton and
the company is to be congratulated
upon its effort.
While "The Resurrection" is a
heavy. sociological theme, one of
TolstOrs best in the estimation of
many, the local company interpreted
1t well and gave Pendleton an excel
lent insight into Russian life and JUS
tice.
The prison scene in which Katusha
denounces Dimitri, her betrayer, was
given In a superb manner, fully as
good and in many ways better than
ever presented in this city before by
travelling companies. The parting of
Dimitri and Katusha, one OF the most
touching events in the beautiful story.
was presented in all its reality and
vividness and was worthy of a much
better house than witnessed 1t.
THE Resurrection" will be the bill
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, with "The Little Minister"
for the remainder of the week. Fol-
lowing is the list OF plays that will
be presented in their order at the
