"Thcrns and Orange Blossoms"

At the Orpheum last night the first
production of "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" was given to crowded
house. The play is a pretty one and
while the theme is old it is presente
in a new and interesting way. Miss
Bryan was, as usual the favorite with
the audience and did her work well.
Mr. ,5treeter was up to his standard
of clever acting and won applause at
frequent intervals. In Francis Ellis,
who played the part Of a clergyman,
the audience recognized an old favorite
and gave him a round of applause that
betokeneu its pleasure in seeing him.

lest to the lightest parts he is capablu
and clever, and MS opening last night

be memorable in years to come. 1t
marked the real turning point in the
governmental attitude toward the
Mississippi. President Roosevelt had
already appointed an inland waterways
commission, which has in mind all
mann9r of schemes concerning water
ways, irrigation, forestry, dry farming,
navigation, locks and dams. revet-
ment and the preservation of national
rights in waterfalls. But that was too
general to suit the 14-foot people.
They wanted a specific promise abo 1T

The president arrived at the river
at Keokuk, Iowa, where there is some
day to be a big dam across the Mis-
sissippi at a cost of $10,0O0,O00. Kep-
kuk is not much of a place, as places

the steamboat, Mississippi, the presi-

leaders of the 14-foot agitation have
their headquarters; and there the
whole valley through thousands of its
representative people accorded him a
welcome.
Boys, this is the finest trip Of my
life" he said a dozen times. And as
many more he exclaimed, Boys, this
is Bully"
And he did more than that AT
Keokuk he rather favored water trans

must not get too enthusiastic in our
plans. At Carlo he had come to the
point where he favored a bond issue

paul Gilmore PIes.ses Big Audience

When a Walla Walla audience gets
enthusei enough % give an actor cur
tain call, it may be taken for granted
that the play is pleasing them. Until
Saturday night it looked as if the
theatrical season would be closed
without curtain call to it's credit, but
at the end of the second act of 1.-THE
Wheel of Love" Paul Gilmore was
given the glad hand until he had to
respond, which he did gracefully
Enough While the play itself had no
deep and intricate plot, who cared?
Certainly not the audience here. The
times are heavy and the light catchy
comedy was so deliciously breezy and
went with such an easy swing that
the audience was pleased and we'll
pleased from first to last. Paul Gilmore
was the life of the show In "At Yale
last year, there were some parts of the
play which were not thoroughly ap-
preciate1 but there was nothing of the
kind Saturday night. Gilmore fills the
whole stage when he is on. He is an
actor of undoubted ability and his vo-
cabulary of slang was new and refresh
ing. He pleased his house, and as sue
cess in theatricalS can be judged only
from whether it pleases and takes well.
surely Gilmore may be said to have
been the success of the year in this
city His coming next year in a heavier
play will be expected with interest and
the Walla Walla people will not again
be deceived by acrimonious criticisms
Iof theatrical writer's who think the
only way to criticise is to rip a play
up with adverse comment. The support
was good, especially Willard Louis as
"Griz." Miss Young as Eleanor Gray
son. was charming and took her part
we'll. In ALL the play and the acting
made one of the best events of the sea-
son.
