4 Model Farce Comedy.

THE Tanning Of the Shrew," is con-
ceded to be the most amusing of all
the Shakespearean comedies. Petru-
chios determination to subdue the
vixenish nature of Katherine causes
so many comical situations that there
is constant succession of laughs
from beginning to the ending of the
play. Many modern farce comedy
writer's have taken this piece as a
model for the most successful works.
Not to have seen The Tanning of the
Shrew" is to have missed one of the
most deliciously humorous enter
tainments ever put on the stage. It
is gratifying to announce that this
city will have an opportunity to wit
ness Shakespeare's funniest play at
the oregon theatre, on Sunday March

Charles B. Hanford and his excellent
company.
