FLOWER OF RANCH
PLEASES AUDIENCE

A well-pleased audience saw a
good show at the newly remodelled
Oregon theater last night when THE
Flower of the Ranch" was presented.
Jesse Harris as "Skeeter" and Betty
Caldwell as "Flower" are the two
particular stars and they scintilate in
manner that brings forth the plau-
dts. The chorus is also good and
well costumed while all the minor
parts are we'll filled. THE Flower
of the Ranch" is a musical comedy
and it is being produced this year by
lie Compte, Fletcher e Wade. one
of the producers, lie Compile is in the
cast and has the part of the Mexican.
The audience last night was also
treated to music from a five piece or
chestra and the theatergoers had an
opportunity of seeing the interior of
the playhouse in its finished stage
something impossible heretofore. The
work of remodeling the interior OF
the show house is now complete save
that the floors are to be painted.
The new balcony is provided with
$50 opera chairs and the noise for
merly made by those who assembled
to the gallery IS now lacking. This
because the balcony has been pro-
vided with rubberoid mating that
deadens the footballs and makes it
possible for an audience to enjoy a
show with more comfort than in the
past,
The work of erecting a second story
in the rear Of the dressing rooms IS
now being carried on. The addition
al room will be devoted to dressing
rooms and-remarkable as it may
seem--a bathroom is to be provided
also.
"If a player does not make good
we will be able to put him in the bath
tub" declares Manager Mitchell, whc
! is proud of this new improvement.
