things that had been happening. She

THE CLIMAX.

Unique among modern stage offer
ings and serving as the pioneer of
the new drama, comes "The Gil

ward Locke, which will be seen for
the first time in the Elite Opera
house at Payette.
While THE Climax" has been seen
in but a few cities outside of New
York, it is already as well and fav-
orably known as though it had
been a friend of the entire country
for years
When Mr.. Joseph Weber produced
the play seven months ago, at his
own theatre in New York, the au-
thor-Edward Locke-was unknown,
and the production was looked upon
in doubt. Today 1.-The Climax" is
acknowledged the greatest play in
years, and Mr.. Locke recognized as
one of the most promising American
reviewers. Mr.. Weber found a gem
of purest dramatic ray serene when
he discovered THE Climax" He
undopbtedly paved the way for new
class of play The betterment Of the
American stage has long been the
subject of discussion and the answer
