"The Mollusc" ut the Brandeis.
Kyrle BelleW and company in The
Mollusc," O comedy in three acts, by
Hubert Henry Davies; under direction
of Charles Frohman. The cast:

Mr. Hubert Henry Davies Illuminating
remarks concerning molluscs and mol
luscry were delivered with charming ef-
feet at the Brsndeis last night by Mr..
Kyrle Bellew and the capable players
who are dividing the undertaking with
him It must be very pleasant occupa-
ton for them all; at least. they appear
to enjoy the proceedings quite as much
as anyone else who may be present.
This is apparent from the amount Of
earnest and we'll directed effort they put
forth to give the lines Of the author
their exact meaning. In this respect the
evening was one of real pleasure. II is
a delight to hear the English language
well spoken. and these players certainly
speak well.
A mollusc, according TO Mr.. Davies
definition, is a person who is inclined
by nature to let George do it," or any
one else. so long as IL is done without
effort ON the part Of the mollusc. In
this case the mollusc is a charming wife,
who has shifted all the responsibility Of
her household onto her husband and the
goveTness Of her children. She Is per-
fectly content, because she lie comfort
able, and vigorously resists any proposed
change in conditions. Into the family
comes a brother who knows her dispo-
sition, being well acquainted with the
family history. and he sets himself 20
arouse his sister. incidentally, he falls
in love with the governess, and this com
| plicatss his undertaking seriously, for
he finds his sister considers the young
woman indispensable 10 her happiness,
and the husband has reached the same
CONCLUSION and they are loathe 10 let

veloped circumstances succeeds In hav-
i ing his way, arousing the molluso into

HIGH SCHOOL
PLANS ADOPTED
FORMER PENDLETON MAN
SUBMITS WINNING DESIGN
Contract Signed With c. T.. TrOutman
and Approved by Voters all That is
Necess airy.

Architect c. L. Troutman, formerly
of this city but now of Aberdeen,
Washington, will erect the new Pen
dleton high school building. This de-
cision was made last night by the
school board after the plans of eight
different architects of the northwest
had been carefully examined, and
shortly before noon today the con-
tract with Mr.. Troutman was signed.
The erection of a high school will
of course, have to be approved by the
taxpayers of the city when the matter
OF bonding the district for funds suf-
ficient to construct a new high school
building is voted upon. Just on what
date this vote will be taken has not
yet been determined but it will not be
very distant. The law requires that
notice of twenty days be given and
II is certain that the board will not
allow many days to elapse before that
notice is issued.
The selection of Mr.. Troutman's
plans seems to be meeting with gen.
eral approval by the people of PEN
dleton and many expressions of sat
isfaction are to be heard on the street.
Mr. Troutman is a known quality, all
of the present graded school build.
ings being his handiwork and testi-
flying to his ability. He has made a
special study of school buildings and
the plans submitted to the board show
the result of this study.
The projected building. which is to
cost approximately $4,000, will be
built of white stone and red pressed
brick which will give the exterior a
very pleasing appearance. The in
terror is modelled for convenience and
sanitation and special attention has
been paid to lighting, heating and ven-
tilation. There are to be three floors
besides the basement and enough
class rooms and seating capacity has
been arranged for providing for all
of the increases which many years
will bring. Among other features is
a large gymnasium which is to be
constructed in the basement, the gall
aries to which will be on the first
floor. A spacious auditorium will be
on the second floor. while on the
third floor are provided rooms for do
mestic science and the chemical lab
oratory. There are to be both mems
and ladies' toilets on every floor. AL
together the plans are thoroughly
modern and up-to-date in every re-
spect and the construction of a high
school after them will secure for
Pendleton one of the best high school
buildings in the state.
The work of tearing down the old
building will be begun Immediately
on the completion of the present term
provided the taxpayers vote to bond
the district. and in which case anoth-
er year will see the high school stu
dents housed in their long-hoped for
new home
