That Lillian Russell has lost
none of her charms and still stands
high in popular favor, was shown
by the reception accorded her last
night by a capacity audience at the
Spokane. AS vehicle for the en-
preston of her talent she was for
tunate when she chose her present
great success. the racing play
"Wildtire." This piece is so filled
with side-splitting comedy, excit-
ing episodes and general worth
that 1t is a great treat in itself,
aside from the merits of star OF
Lillian Russell's luster. Associated
with Miss Russell Is an all-star cast
and no part of the play weakens
for lack of proper support. viii
