ROY TUFFREE, OF THIS CITY,
WAS MARRIED At NEVADA.
ON APRIL 49,
MISS MAE JOHNSON, OF
PRINCETON, ILL.,, BRIDE
Earlier Rumor Of Wedding is Denied
by Groom, Who Took Precaution to
Prevent Leak From Story County
Clerks office-Mnister's Certificate
Brings Confession.

Intending their wedding to be kept a
secret from relatives and friends, Roy
Tuffree, a clerk in The Fair store of
this city, and Miss Mae Johnson, Of
Princeton, ILL.,, were married on April
Is at Nevada.
Rumors Of Mr.. Tuffree's wedding
were current four weeks ago, but the
groom denied the story, attributing it
to some of his young men friends, and
as having been started as a joke. So
carefully did Mr.. Tuffree guard the Sc
cret that when the T.-R. attempted to
verify it's information month ago, a
reply from the clerks office at Nevada
was to the effect that no such license
had been granted.
Friends of the bride, however, We're
not so careful, and when the T.-R. was
shown the certificate of marriage, as
issued by r. e. Shaw, pastor of the
Methodist church at Nevada, who per-
formed the ceremony, Mr.. Tuffree
owned up that the wedding had taken
place.
Mrs. Tuffree, who is in the city, said
that it had been planned to keep the
wedding a secret for several reasons,
and that two weeks after her marriage
she was summoned to her home IN
Princeton owing to the serious illness
OF her mother, Mrs. Ida Reider. Mrs.
Tuffree returned to the city on Oct. %.
and is living at 205 South Center
street.
The ceremony was performed at the
home of Rev. Mr.. Shaw, with Mrs.
Shaw and NJ. H. Pinkerton, of this city,
as witnesses Mrs ,Tuffree is niece
Of Mrs. Roy Gilgen, of Clemens.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
Enderly- Windsor Company Give. Very
Artistic Entertainment.

Thoroughly artistic in every way,
and of high order unsteady, was the
entertainment given under the auspices
of the Railroad Y. M. C. A., as the
second number of its course, by the
Enderly- Windsor Company at the
Methodist church Thursday night. A
splendid audience, which practically
filled the auditorium, greeted Mrs.
Mayne- Windsor, soprano sooist, and
Mrs. Subway Enderly, monologist,
impersonator. and pantomimist. the
two principal members of the COM
pany.
Mrs. Windsor is lyric soprano, who
possesses a very sweet voice of ex-
cellent tone quality. and of wide range.
She appeared in four numbers, one OF
them made up of four little songs. She
sang in French, German and Italian,
and the Zuni Italian tongue, in addi-
ton to English. In all of them she
acquitted herself creditably OF the
several sweet songs she sang, the aria
from Mozart's opera, "The Magic
Flute" was delightfully."- rendered. In
attempting the melody from the opera
Lucia di Lammernoo-" Mrs. Windsor
sang what is generally recognized to
be most difficult number calling for
great range, expression and technique.
She supplied all of these and carried
the melody thru artistically and with
finish. "The Coming of the Montezu-
ma" she gave in the Zuni Indian
language.
Mrs. Enderly appeared in two mono
logs, four representations and two
pantomimes, when showed her versa
tility. Her monolog, "A Butterfly as
Housekeeper" and the Fourteenth
Street Shop Girl" also the medley of
nursery rhymes, were perhaps the most
pleasing, altho she handled artistically
all of the wide range of subjects she
attempted.
In the second part of the program she
gave in costume as monolog, Long
fellows 1.-THE Spanish Student" and
followed with Green pantomime story.
also in costume.
Mrs. Enderly's impersonation Of the
Gypsie girl. "Preciosa," in The Span
ish Student" was good, but the story
Of the playlet is so thoroughly foreign
that more Americanized tale would
have taken better with the audience.
The criticism is a just one to say that
Mrs. Enderly might, with profit, dis
pense with the pantomime number.
Pantomime is readily recognized as a
most exceedingly difficult mode of ex-
preston, and to make it thoroughly
successful it needs a harmonious stage
setting as back ground for the ac-
ton. This is of course impossible on
the ordinary church platform.
Miss Edith Sucher, the accompanist,
was a capable performer, and assisted
much in adding ito Mrs. Windsor's
numbers and some of Mrs. Enderly's.
"The Star Spangled Banner" sung
by Mrs. Windsor, and reproduced in
pantomime by Mrs. Enderly, made a
real hit as a closing number.

Rose SydelI and Company appears at
Odeon Theater.
Rose Sydell, with a, company adver-
tised as London Bellies" appeared at
the Odeon in two performances of a
play called The Girl From Sherry's"
Thursday. Two big audiences wit
messed the plays. ''The Girl From
Sherry's" two-act comedy with
music, made up but a part of the per-
Torrance. BY far the better features
of the show were the musical special
ty act, by a quartet, and the dancing
team. The former was especially good,
and gave a very clever and thoroughly
musical act. Some of the usic was
fairly good but most Of it was very
ordinary.
Miss Sydell's production bore out
the reputation generally held for bur-
lesque performances for risqueness.
Some of the dialog was rough, and
some Of the situations were a trihe too
coarse. to say the least.
