The strongest female characters
of "The Princess" are Lady Psyche
and Lady Blanche. Miss Laura
Brown, as Lady Psyche, captivated
the audience. She gnve an ideal
Interpretation of the character. In
her lecture to "the students of the
university" and in the scene where
i she discovers the prince and his
companions in disguise she reached
superior heights. The character is
a difficult one, but the handsome
young woman was equal to it.
Miss Bessie DeLong, as Lady
Blanche, won general admiration by
her fine delineation of that difficult
role. In the scene where she de-
bates with herself whether or not
to denounce Lady Psyche, and later
in the scene where she gives her ter
rife denunciation of her rival. Lady
Psyche, the young lady proved that
she is brilliantly talented. Her work
added greatly to the strength of the
performance.
Miss Helen Smith made dainty
and enchanting Princess Ida. Her
pretty speeches and sweet manners
made her ideal in the part.
Miss Jennie carver made a sweet
Melissa. daughter of Lady Blanche,
and her refreshing work won much
admiration.
Carl Frey was very good, indeed,
as Cana, the king.
bennett Ella, as Florian, and Guy
Steele, as Cyril, measured up to their
roles. These young men in their
disguises as pupils in the university
where women alone could enter, were
responsible for much of the merri-
ment of the evening.
Mss Ellis McCulloch, in the role
of Violet, was delightful. Her solo,
1.-THE Days That Are No More" was
of rare beauty and was heartily en-
joyed. The young lady has a sweet

Before an audience that crowded
the Park opera house to the doors
on last evening the graduates of the
Grand Junction high school present

two class plays.
There is no question but what the
productions of last night equal in
strength, beauty and interest any
class play or plays ever produced by
the high school of this city, or by
any high school of western Colora-

enthusiastic at times and the ap-

piece was very attractive.
"The Princess" TennyBon's ia
nous poem bearing upon the eternal
question of woman's rights, was then

scenes. 1t was a handsome scenic
production of 1.-THE Princess" that
was given by the young people, and

WHOLLY COMMITTED.

While the ordinary citizen is think
ing out the telephone situation as it
now figures in Astoria, it were we'll to
remember that the Pacific States Tel
ephone Company is finally, and who'll
ly, committed to radical and ample,
line OF improvements here. They have
been unconscionably long in getting to
the issue and on the record, but there
they are, and what they shall fail in
now, will be used against them dis
astrously. They have contracted for
their new headquarter home, and have
done great share of the cabling pro-
missed and their men are still at work
on the latter scheme of improvement;
by the first day of January they
should, and will, have a complete and
modernized service in this city, and if
this can be done without the addition
al burden and cost of a double and
conflicting service, all the better for
Astoria.
The city is fortunate in the present
status of telephone affairs, and will do
well to let things go as they are, for
he moment, and abide by the changes
and betterments now in line and guar
ateed as nearly as the P. s. people can
guarantee them. The policy OF let
ting well enough alone" is, it strikes
us, applicable just as this juncture.
