WHITE flag"
CAPTURES CITY
ON FIRST night

The city certainly surrendered to
THE MIX White Flag" at its first
production last night at the Opera
House. The house was filled to the
doors. as 1t has been at every pro-
duction since the McRae company
opened up, and the company has
held up its end by making each pro-
duction a little better than the pre-
ceding one.
The comedy "a Milk-White Flag"
was certainly enjoyed by everyone
within the doors, Notwithstanding
the fact that there is death scene
which was also a comedy.
Margaret Oswald, in the charac-
ter of the widow, has chance to
show ability along a line that Is
perfect, and her costume Of black
silk brings out her good looks bet
ter than any heretofore worn.
The settings and costumes in "A
Milk-White Flag" are by far the best
ever seen in this city, ami many re-
marks were heard TO that effect
among the audience last night
Wray, who was put on Ice. was =
whole show in himself, and his de-
sire for pair Of pants was pathetic
In the extreme.
II seems out OF the question to
pick out any one or two of the COM
pany for special mention. II that
were done II would include the en-
tire company.
The Ransome Guards Is a COM
pany any State might. be proud OF;
at least. that is the opinion OF those
who sized up their bravery last
night. and that seemed to be the
way General Hurry Burly looked at
II also.
The songs and dances introduced
were highly appreciated, and the
coming audiences will expect much
In the same line.
A disagreeable feature OF last
nights performance. and which was
not down on the program. was that
large part OF the audience started
to leave the house few seconds be-
fore the play was finished, thinking
that the scene Just before the last
was the end. They quickly resumed
their seats. however, and were ready
for all the company could give them.
