lived in this city for twenty years, is

proposition presented by the fact that
he has suddenly found himself possessed

"THE SPOILERS"
AT THE OREGON

"The Spoilers" was the title of the
attraction at the oregon theater last
night, but it might with more or less
fitness be applied to the troup, which
assayed its presentation. However,
in spirit of charity for conscientious
endeavors, we shall refrain from be-
ing too caustic in our comment. If
we were inclined to be super-critical
we could with perfect justice refer
to certain defects in the staging of the
play. For instance, we might men
ton that toy pistols were not en-
ployed by the pioneer element of
Alaska, neither did they wear their
revolver belts cinched up like the
saddle girth on a broncho, but these
are minor deficiencies and would be
overlooked by a pleased audience.
The play itself is one that permits
of great possibilities, both as a sue
cess and a failure. Portraying as it
does the rough, wild life of a lawless
country. it teens with thrilling situa-
tions, stirring climaxes anti-climaxes
and denouments, and these very sit
uations, climaxes, etc, are the things
which make 1t capable of being a gi-
gantic success or a colossal failure,
for they require so much heavy, diff
ficult work that none but actors and
actresses of the first magnitude
should presume to attempt the lead
ing roles. Sufficient to say, the Roy
Glennister and Helen Chester of last
nights production were not the work
of artistic geniuses. and those who
attended and they were many to wit
ness a great dramatizaton of a great
book, We're forced to content them
selves with transforming melodrama.
To the credit of the company be
it said that the scenic effects were
above the average and that some of
their efforts at comedy were worthy
of applause.
