Hit in Frisco

Mr.. T. D. Bonneville, business
manager of Klaw & Erlanger's pro-
duction "Milestones," was in Ashland
this week making arrangements for
the engagement of the attraction at
the Vining Theatre Saturday, Octo-
ber 81.
The play has just closed an engage
ment OF two weeks at the Columbia
Theatre in San Francisco, where it
was received with acclaim by the pa
irons of the theatre and the dramatic
critics.
"Milestones" is described as one
of the most delightful plays ever pro-
duced. 1t is written by Arnold Ben
nett and Edward Knoblauch, and is
produced by Klaw & Erlanger, the
leading producers of New York.
The play ran for two years in Lon
don and one year at the Liberty

season on the road and 1t is said to
have met with tremendous success.
The cast is made up entirely of Eng
lish actors specially selected and di-
rect from London.
The company which plays here is
the only one on the road and the pro-
duction stops at Ashland en- route
from San Francisco to Portland where

biggest and perhaps the finest nroduc-
tion OF the season here and gives 1t
his strongest personal endorsement
as a play that should be seen by all
local theatregoers.

Professor Briscoe was the recipient
of pleasant surprise party Friday
evening in honor of his birthday. The
event took place in the domestic sci
ence department of the high school
building. He was inviegled to the
place by fictitious phone call, giving
news of some horrible riot at the
school house by the lively seniors or
some equally spirited class Profess
sor Briscoe upon hearing of this hung
up the phone hurriedly, kicked his
house slippers into the corner. got
into some more substantial kind of
boots and rushed out the Boulevard
toward the supposed melee. Upon
arriving he met Professor Moore at
the door, who informed him that he
also had heard of the occurrence and
had quieted the disturbance TO such
an extent that he had them all locked
in the domestic science room. After
Professor Briscoe had leaned against
the wall and gasped for breath for
a few minutes he made his way to
the domestic science department. un-
locked the door, smoothed back his
hair and stepped briskly in-when, 10
and behold! instead of a crowd OF
unruly youngsters he found a charm
ing congregation of teachers. who,
seeing his stern appearance change
to that of more agreeable nature,
had a good laugh at his expense
During the course of the evening he
was presented with a beautiful gold
fountain pen. Refreshments were
served and the evening was a most
pleasant one.

Public School Notes

Professor Briscoe, in a short lee
ture given to the students Friday
morning, urged them to attend the
numerous political meetings which
are taking place every day. He be-
lieved that such interest could only
result in more intelligent voters of
the future.
Professor Moore has ordered sever
al slips Of the famous roses that grow
on the Eugene university campus.
They are of beautiful variety and,
at the invitation of the university, he
accordingly asked for some.
At the game between Medford and
Grants Pass Saturday the latter was
beaten by the outrageous score of
rs to 6. This means there will have
to be a big tussel for the Ashland
high school team to put it over the
Medfordites. As a result all football.
fans are watching and waiting for
the big game TO come off.
The debating class is now getting
under way. Though Ashland high
has gone down to defeat for three
years heretofore in the debating con-
tests, they will not keep out this
year, but boldly try again. They
have accordingly Joined the Oregon
Debating League, and the pamphlets
covering the subject for debate.
namely, Resolved, that the govern
ment should own and operate all rail-
roads as common carriers within and
across all boundaries of the several
states" This is a very evenly di-
dived question and supporters for
both sides are easy TO be found. The
efficiency with which the government
is now handling the parcel post will
be one OF the big arguments for the
affirmative. Every school in the en-
tire state will debate this question
this year. as this will make all better
prepared to meet Invertebrates and
not necessitate the worry of studying
up for a new question, but all time
can be put in on bettering the argu-
ment for the first. Klamath high
school team viii come to Ashland to
debate this year and a good deal of
enthusiasm will be evinced.
