NEW STAGE SETTINGS FOR 4 COMING PLAY
The Goodwin. Opera House Undergoing Changes and Improvements.

The local Knights of Pythias, In pre- senting their play Damon and lPythias" at the Goodwin opera house next Friday evening win have the hon or of using for the first time, the new scenery and stage setting with which
 the opera house has just been equipped.
 As a matter of fact, the work has not yet been completed and the scenery has
 not yet all been installed, but work on it is now in progress and it will be in
 good shape by Friday evening.
 Manager Goodwin is sparing no ex- pense to fully equip the stage with all necessary scenery. Doc Howard of
 Phoenix. a scene painter of no mean ability, has the work in charge and has just completed several very essential
 scenes. One of these, the woodland scene. is really a work of art and with the proper light effects, the stage will resemble a forest. In addition to this
 scene, a parlor and a kitchen scene
 have ben painted that will come in
 handy at many times. The front of the stage has been arranged with two handsome wings that will be permanent fixtures. These with the grand drapery across the top of the stage will give it an attractive appear ance even when the curtain is down. The lighting part of the stage has also been given a thorough overhauling. A new line Of border lights have been put in and every thing will be in splen- did shape for the home talent perform ance Friday evening
 In addition to these improvements, the Knights are having painted a cou- pie of scenes for the play that will add immensely to the general effect The seat sale opens today at the Goodwin store and there is every indication that the performance will draw a packed house.

 ing an Active interest In It.

The date of the Declamatory contest, given each year by the Tempe Normal students, is March 18th. A great deal of interest is being taken in the event by the various high schools all over the territory and many of them which contemplate sending contestants are making the selection of their candi- dates for this year in a more inter esting way than some of them have employed in previous years. The idea of holding a contest in the home town and awarding a medal to the winner is a better idea than simply sending the contestant over here with no reward excepting the prospect of getting the
 Student" medal. The high schools are making every effort to have the con- test a close one, and when it is entered in this manner, there is no question as to it's success. The date of the final contest, at Tempe, is March 18th, un- less the printer changes it again in set ting it up.
