INTERESTING ACTS BILLED
FOR LYRICS TWO SHOWS

Several OF the features OF n highly
promising list Of attractions booked
FOR this week at the Lyric Thc;ttcr are
OF more than ordinary interest. Cleo
GaHcoigne. late Juvenile star of the
metropolitan Grand opera Company,
New York. is one OF these.
Little Cleo, who is a find" of Gatti-
tasaHZa, was an infant prodigy who
became il great favorite in musical
circles when she was brought to the
Metropolitan Opera House. She sang
ch!!drcnS roles two years with the
Metropolitan. She is billed AS the
youngest and smallest prima donna in
the world. Cleo is three feet eleven
inches in height, tips the scales at
siHty-nine and one -half pounds, and is
now in her fifteenth year. Despite
these d!mnutive figures. her career has
been rich in experience. She aban-
doncd the opera stage for vaudeville
because. regardless of her artistic
capacity, she could aspire only To chill
dren'S parts, on account of her physical
proportions.

ing. without the advantage OF a famous

liable benefit of former popularity. this

in these columns by the dramatic re-
viewer Of The Times Dispatch. in his
criticism of the premier OF Dorothy
Mortimer and her associates. They
are words of praise indeed, but those
fortunate enough to have seen Miss
Mortimer and her company will more

ECHO YOUNG MEN ARE ON
TRIAL IN CATTLE CASE

Arthur Gulliford and Carl Kirk
two we'll known young men Of Echo
are on trial today in the circuit court
on a charge OF stealing cattle from
Nelson Bros. and the case is one OF
the most important on the January
docket The alleged crime was COM
mitted last October and the young
men were arrested at that time by
Sheriff Taylor but, when the case was
presented in a preliminary hearing in
the local justice court. it was dismiss
ed for lack Of evidence. However,
the grand jury returned a true bill
Upon an original investigation
The evidence against the young de-
PENDANTS is nearly all circumstantial.
The state expects to trace the move
ments Of the defendants and try to
prove that they drove the cattle away
from the Nelson ranch to a pasture
adjoining the Gulllford place. Plast-
er casts taken by Sheriff Taylor of
the hoof marks Of the horses trailing
the cattle will form an important link
in the testimony against the defend
ants as the state contends the hoof
marks were made by the horses they
were riding.
L. A. Esteb is attorney for the de-
fense and in his opening argument
declared he would prove the young
men innocent by proving the move
ments Of the young men on the night
in question.

the good work of the past semester
and emphasized the Importance Of in

line Of work. Mr.. Hampton's address
was followed by a second address by
Prof. J. $. Landers following the same
line Of thought as presented by Mr..
Hampton. Mr.. Landers used Booker

termination. labor and consequent
success. Both addresses were receiv-

In a close and interesting basket
ball game Saturday night between the
girls Of Pendleton high school and
Waitsburg. the locals were forced to
give up the bacon at the grinding
score of 1920 In favor Of Waitsburg
The game was probably the closest
game played this season and the de-
feat of the locals is generally blamed
to the new floor since the local team
defeated Waitsburg once this season
on the local floor at a much larger
score.
