A highly satisfactory production
of THE Kerry Cow" was given last
hight by Arthur Cunningham and
company. 1.-THE Kerry Cow" has
strong dramatic parts with enough

Cunningham has good supporting

THE Red MILL" by Charles Dill
lingham's company, which will be
seen at the Spokane Wednesday
and Thursday, is the most popular
musical hit of the past three sea-
sons. The story is the adventures
of frisky pair of young Ameri-
cans who are doing" Europe for
the first time, but who strike a
snag in one of the small villages of
Holland when their money gives

cations follow, which lead them to

and in an instant the crowd tum-
bled to the hoax. Confusion rulee'
in the gallery and there was ali
excited caucus after her exit to
learn just what had been said in
her presence. Miss Shirley was
satisfied with the test, although she
said she momentarily expected
some youngster to recognize her
and give a trimming to the first
act not on the program.

play word comes to Fort Ferry
that the Indians are about ready to
take up the warpath and only await

they start their bloody war.
There are several pretty love
