EPPING MEETS WITH
SUCCESS AT DALLES

The Elks' show, THE Mikado," CIV
en- last week at the neighoring city
under the dictatorship Of j. A. Epping.
was great success. OF the show The
Dalles Chronicle says:
"Those who did not 90 to the vogt
theatre last Monday night to hear The
Mikado' missed remarkably good en-
tertainment which was presented by
home talent under the auspices of the
Elks, and under the personal direction
Of j. Adrian Epping. better known as
Dad Epping. to whom much OF the
credit for the splendid performance is
due. He is decidedly capable director
and gets the very best out of the per-
sons with whom he works. The man.
agement of the show is delighted with
the work of Mr.. Epping.
"But those who failed to take advan-
taRe of The Mikado Monday night had
full consolation in store for them. for
the opera was repeated Tuesady even
ing.
"Chas. Clarke was an ideal lover.
His appearance was that of matinee
idol and his scene with Yum Yum left
nothing to be desired.
"The chorus sang with snap and pre-
cision. The girls were dainty and
pretty and their kimonas were as gay
as the stage director would permit.
The mems chorus was interesting and
altogether melodious. The stage ac-
tion, under the skillful direction of
Mrs. P. S. Davidson, Of Hood River,
was intricate and very attractive.
