AT THE GRAND,


"Chantecler," Rostand's dream of
the barnyard, to be presented at the
Grand, Davenport, tomorrow night, had
it's first production on any stage at the
Porte St Martin theatre, in Paris. Feb.
z, 1910. The work had its first pro-
duction in this country, with Maude
Adams in the titular role at the Knick-
erbocker theatre, New York, in Janu-
airy, 1911. The rehearsals that were
held for the French production num-
bered all told 1877. In this country the
rehearsals of the company, stage hands
and electricians numbered 162. No
play ever presented in this country had
such thorough preparation before it
was given to the public. In the French
production the feathers on the cos
tunes of the birds were glued on heavy
material; in Miss Adams production
the feathers are all sewn by hand over
silk, which helps to heighten their eff
feet and make the costumes more col
orful and lasting In the handling of
the production of the poetic fantasy. as
it Is to be seen here, a small army of
stage hands is required Attached to
the company is a stage director as
we'll as stage manager. There are 4
master carpenter and three assistants,
property master, and three assistants
and an electrician and three assistants.
There is a wardrobe woman with two
assistants. In addition, there is a
feather man." supplied by the Paris
firm which made the costumes, who
carefully sews in place the feathers
that happen to drop out of the cos
tunes. AS the human birds and fowls
are always moulting, the feather
mans" Job is no sinecure. There are
number of dressers attached to the
company to help the actors into their
odd costumes and to remove the tails
when they come off the stage so that
they might sit down and rest until the
call comes for their appearance before
the footlights. While the force of me
chanics carried by Miss Adams Is an
unusually large one, the theatres in
which she presents "Chantecler" fur
nish about so men to help in the rapid
setting of the scenes and the handling
of the lights. The production on the
whole and in detail is wonderfully
novel one and it gives every evidence
of being the biggest success that Miss
Adams has ever had.

PAPAs A wHIRLwIND.
Gus Papas has been seen in action
before local and Moline fans and has
shown that he has the ability as a
wrestler. In fact, everyone acknowl-
edges that he is whirlwind and when
he and Cyclone Tommy" buck up
against each other, there will be some
thing doing in the way OF fast, clean

home in Canada for the express pur'
pose of getting a whack at Brown. He
confidently expects TO best Thompson

Two fast preliminaries are promised

Blanche Morrison, the prima donna

stage not because she wanted to, but
largely on account of her friends in

year under the celebrated Nine. Mar

member of the FRITZ Scheff company

engagement she became associated
with the Aborns, and has under their

over 20 operas. While the roles she

farm at Corvallis to this city.
The Silver and the Golden pleas
ants are two other birds which are
attracting Il great deal of attention
from the thousands of visitors. The
interest is partly due to their rare
beauty and partly to the fact that six
pairs of each are to be liberated near
this city Immediately after the close
of the fair. Six pair of the China
Ring Necks are also to be liberated
in addition to those liberated on the
asylum farm few weeks ago and
which are thriving.
The pair of Elliots pheasants. the
only pair in oregon, are considered
by many of the visitors to be the
prettiest duet of birds in the show.
They are native of the island of Su-
matra.
Among the many other beautiful
birds are the Melanotus pheasant,
the Amherst, the Reeves. the Jungle
Fowl or Mexican pheasant, the Aus
tralian crown pigeon, the Mexican
White Winged dove, the California
valley quail, oregon mountain quail
and wood ducks.
The exhibit also includes a splen-
did pair of Virginia wild turkeys, a
pair of Canadian wild geese. a pair
of Arctic snow geese. several Pin
Tail widgeons, sevral green winged
teals, some Japanese Silkie chickens
and brood of young China pheas-
ants with a Buff Bantam hen. The
Silkies are used to a great extent in
rearing the young pheasants and are
themselves one of the most peculiar
looking birds to be found in any
country, Their plumage is snow
white and is a cross between a feath-
er and a hair, while the skin of their
bodies is as black as coal.
Among the freaks produced in con-
nection with the farm work is a
cross between a Japanese Silkie and
bantam. The product resembles a
miniature ostrich more than any
thing else in the world and has been
dubbed the bantam ostrich. There
is also hybrid bird, being a cross
between a China pheasant and
game bantam chicken.

LARGE ATTENDANCE FLOCKS TO FAIR

Last night the Boyd performances
again delighted the crowd. A square
platform or stage has been construct
ed near the center of the pavilion for
the accommodation of the troupe
from the Oaks and the performers
will be there every evening this week.
The star feature of the evening
program at the pavilion is the singing
of Mrs Raymond Sullivan whose
beautiful soprano sounds clear and
strong within the pavilion in spite of
the noise and size of the pavilion.
Many music lovers we're out last night
to hear Mrs. Sullivan sing and to lis
ten to the excellent concert by the
De Caprio band.
Two Captive salmon.
Last night the fishery exhibit was
augmented by the arrival of two full
grown chinook salmon captured in
Tanner creek near the state hatchery
at Bonneville. The salmon were
brought to Pendleton by e. c. Green
man, superintendent of the hatchery
day
According to Master Fish Warden
Clanton, now here supervising the
exhibit, the bringing of the captive
salmon here from Bonneville estab-
fishes n record for such work. Never
before has he heard of captive sal
mon being conveyed so far. Incl
dentally 1t is much more difficult to
handle captive fish than to care for
the fish propogated by the hatchery.
