book into the glare Of the footlights
Friday night at the Grand, in Eugene
Walters dramatization Of the famous
Fox story. While there might have
been a feeling that June suffered some
what in the transition, still as the
June of the play, Miss Isabelle Lowe
left little to be desired. AS the shy
mountain girl, and then as the more
sophisticated woman, she successfully
acted difficult pert. She was quite
winning and winsome and easily car
ried off the honors OF the evening.
Ably supporting Miss Lowe were Noah
Beery as Judd Tolliver, June's father.
and w. E. Knibloe as John Hale, the
young engineer. What Beery may
have lacked in his acting was easily
forgotten In his magnificent physique
ard his appearance on the stage.
The scenery, especially that for the
first and fourth acts, in which the
stage was set at the crest Of Lone
some Pine. looking Off into the gap,
with the old pine standing as sentinel,
was out of the ordinary for road
show. and deserved the applause be-
slowed upon it.
