The dances of Clydia Schott and
Fletcher Fish scored, Miss Schott be-
ing particularly graceful.
Miss Josephine Root and Mrs. o.
C. Letter as the Spaghetti Sisters in
songs and dances were one of the
many hits of the evening.
The cabaret scene December 81,
1879 was the crowning number, and
brought out a number of startling
gowns. The JOY and abandon that
exists just before the death of year
was apparent, and the section went.
along with a smash and dash.
Sprague Riegel and Mrs. Owney Pat
ton as colored assistants put across
a number of clever jokes, among
them being slams at the matrimonial
inclinati ons of County Judge Tou
Velle. Considerable irony was also
exposed when the manager of the
cabaret refused to cash one of George
| Carpenters checks.
The surprise of the evening was
the coming of X. w. Ruhl as Dolly
Warden" No one expected the Sun
editor to garb wig and gown. He
carried the deception to a successful
conclusion. His foil. was Judge
Kelly, who was allowed to do and
say what he pleased for ten minutes
He did. Judge Kelly was Smoke
Bellew" from Alaska.
The Yama Yama Girls, Miss Doro-
thy Conner, Mrs. Edgar Hafer, Mrs.
A. Conro Fiero, Miss Carolyn An

with difficult violin number Bill

Rose Society Vaudeville
Will Be Given in Ashland

The presentation of The Rose So
ciety vaudeville by the social and
business men and women of Medford
at the Vining next Tuesday evening
will doubtless prove the most attrac-
tive social event to be given. in the
Rogue River Valley for many years.
The Rose Society Vaudeville was
staged in Medford for two nights this
week and created more favorable
comment than anything that has ever
been given in that city. Sixty OF the
business and professional men and
leading society women of Medford
compose the cast, and those who wit
messed the performances in Medford
say it is scream from beginning to
end.
In addition to the sixty Medford
people in the cast, more than fifty
seats have already been engaged for
the Vining Tuesday evening. After
the performance a dance will be CIV
en- by the Ashland Elks for the enter
tainment of the visitors, and this
event will be made the beginning of
closer social relations between the
two principal cities of the valley.
The Medford Mail Tribune COM
ments on the performance as fol-
lows:
The Rose Society vaudeville show
at the Page Theatre Monday night
was a distinct success, from start to
finish. 1t possessed the polish one
sees in professional but seldom in
amateur performances. A standing
room only house greeted the opening
might. In spots, but rarely, the show
Jagged. and now and then a joke
missed. The best amateur perform
ance in the history of Medford," was
the verdict. I.
The surprise of the evening was
Pop" Gates. Unexpected histrioniC
ability cropped out here in the open
ing skit. He was cleverly assisted
by Miss Josephine Root and Fletcher
Fish and Mrs. Ed Hanley, who took
the role of the servant girl, making
a fall that was a classic though
dangerous. In this skit Miss Roof
and Mr.. Gates engaged in a we'll.
handled love affair. Evan Reamei
was billed to appear in this playlet
but failed to appear.
The Rogue River Pippins, an oc
tette composed of Messrs. George
Gates, Carter Brandon, Herman
Purucker, Noel Lindley, Dolpf
Phipps, James Vance and Theodore
Vance, Jr., sang a tuneful number
Mrs. George T. Wilson for the
third number gave a reading from
Gilbert Parker's The Lane tha
Hath No Turning" 1t was a highly
artistic rendition of a difficult mum
ber, and a credit to her art was giver
the close attention from the audi
ence.
Miss Carolyn Andrews sang IN!
Melancholy Babe" assisted by CousiI
Middlebusher. The sweet voice o
Miss Andrews showed to advantage
in this number, but her distinct sue
cess was made in the cabaret scent
with classic Greek dance.
Mrs. A. Conro Fiero ana Ed An
drews appeared in scene from Hal
Gaines The Christian" This wal
the dramatic feature of the evening
and both displayed their trained ar
to advantage.

Safe Arrival Of Rev. H. N. Moffett

Oar friends will rejoice with us, we
know, to learn of the safe arrival in
the Homeland" 81 our dear pastor,
Rev. H. M. Moffett, whom we hope to
have in our midst in a very short time.
We are most deeply grateful to God,
who careth alike for those on land and
sea, for His kind care of our earthly
guide and friend in restoring him to his
home here and the friends who are SO
eager TO see him. We regret that the
Welcome Home" receotion that was
planned almost before he left US, will
have to be postponed until little later
on, as Chautauqua week coming now,
followed directly by the colt show,
which all wish to attend, leaves no
place for this pleasure. We are sorry,
for while we know how glad we are to
have Mr.. Moffett with US, we would
liked to have given expression to it q,
the very first. We have been most
kindly cared for by the Rev. Mr.. Lane,
who so graciously led Us to high ano
holy things for many weeks. We are
very grateful to him and hope he will
come among US many times in the flu
ture. His stay will always be pleas
ant memory and he will carry away
our very best wishes. x.

The institute is being concluded by
Profs. S. S. Jacobs and o. /. Woodley.

perintendent Shawkey made an address

tors the management has been fortu-
nate in securing addresses from DIR.
Trotter, acting president of the w Va.
University, and DR.. Harriet B. Jones,
one of the W. v. medical supervisors.
It is interesting to note that out of Q
total enrolment of l13 teachers, rs pei
cent are ladies. One of the most en-.
tertaining as well as instructive fea-
lures is DIR, Woodley s zeal and eifort
in the musical line. Being singer o.
no mean ability. he has permeated tn.
atmosphere with enjoyable whole
souled singing. If this musical fea
ture alone remains ''indelibly writer
upon our minds" institute week vii
not have been wasted.
