Seattle.

The contest for Wallowa County
Queen of the Portland Rose Festival
was opened Monday morning in this

three noninStions-Miss Edna Brown
ng, Miss Eula Forsythe and Miss

place. Blanks for that purpose can
be secured at the same places. Two

The Isle of Piccalilli," an opera in
three acts, written, staged and directed
by Lee II. Davis was given at the Hi
nois theater last evening for the bene-
fit of Trinity Episcopal church before
an appreciative and representative
audience that filed the house.
The production was beautifully staged,
well directed and excellently put on
by Mr.. Davis and a large cast of char
acters. The opening scene at the
royal court of King Crab, which char
acter was taken by Mr.. Davis, was es-
pecially pretty with its flower deckei
throne and garden. swinging lanterns
and gayly dressed subjects. The lead
ing parts were all so we'll taken that
discrimination seems invidious and
they were well balanced with the eX-
cellent work of the choruses. Mr..
Davis as King Crab was, however, es-
pecially good and much credit is due
him for his painstaking work. Miss
Hattie Larkin as Rose Thompson made
a charming and accomplished leading
the king. and Miss Mary Simpson as
Aunt Jane, took the comedy parts in
a manner that won expressions of APP
probation. The characters of Princess
Galore by Miss Irene Don, Admiral
Thompson by Ralph MacManus, Cap
tain Blick by Dr. Carl w. Mueller, and
Charlotte Russo by Miss Blanche Trim
