A RARE AND UNIQUE PRODUCTION.


Only once in blue moon is it grant.
ed to Beaver people to enjoy such al
exquisite production as fell to their
lot on Monday evening last. when the
Cantata. "Jephths and His Daughter"
was presented hy local talent.
The staging and costumes were sbso.
lutely fiawless, and the dramstis per-
sor m were letter-perfect in their re-
spective parts. An extremely delight.
tul feature of the evening was the
music, both violin and piano.
So we'll was each character played
that it is next to an impossibility to
single out those particular players who
excelled, since the entire caste proved
most excellent. Personally, the Cne
part that was most admired by the
writer was the death scene OF Eloni.
and more particularly the duet, 81 will
meet you in the morning where the
shadows come no more" sung by Syl
vester Niles, as Eloni, and Mrs X. II
l. oibourrow as his sister. Naomi
Each seemed to enter completely int
the character being portrayed in thi,
scene, and the melody and pathos OF
their blending voices was infinitely
sweet and dvinely beautiful.
No less beautiful and pathetic was
the singing of Mrs. Beulah Thomas rs
''Iphigenia" in the final tragedy of he
death.song, STRIFE, Father. Strik :;
delay not long Strike, where my young
heart beats
The sadness of tragedy was lightened
in Agt Scene /, by the beautiful cos
tunes graceful dancing and light
hearted singing of "Iphigeuia" aud
her jewish maiiens Tripping where
sunbesms play" was the most beaut-
full and melodious of their songs.

AHEAD IN NEXT
SATURDAYS BATTLE

Eddie Johnson, who has been here
for some time, is working hard to
get himself in the best possible con-
dition by next Saturday, night when
he enters Bio hall to face Frank
Barrieu in what promises to be the
fastest and best battle ever fought in
the welterweight division west of the
Rocky mountains. Barrieau was due
to arrive in Ely during the past
week, but has been delayed by snow
blockades. Barrieu is now expected
to arrive by Tuesday night. So far
Johnson has been obliged to conine
his training to Ely, because of the
impossible condition of the roads,
but during this week both he and
Barrieau will be seen going through
their hard grind at McGill, Ruth and
Ely.
On Thursday last, Jack Dempsey,
Known as the light heavy weight OF
Salt Lake, arrived in Ely and is now
in Johnson's camp. In the history of
prize fighting there is no name which
appears more conspicuously than
that of Jack Dempsey" and the
erstwhile champion who bore that
name in the middle-weight class will
al ways remain dear to the followers
of fandom. This boy certainly looks
true to form and appears in every
way qualified to bear the great name
with credit. He is a regular fighting
machine. Fast and fearless, al ways
in action and packing a punch that
will drop an elephant any time 1t
lands according to direction . AS a
special event, Dempsey will meet
Danny Hayes of McGill on the night
of the fifth, in a six-round go.
The main event cannot fail to at
tract every follower of the game who
can possibly reach the hall at the
time set. Johnson is we'll known
here, where he has been seen once in
action. when he defeated Johnny
Dunn in nine rounds. Those who wit
messed his exhibition on that occa-
sion became so enthusiastic over him
that they will have to be convinced
that there is a man at his weight who
can take his measure. Those who
have seen Barrieau take the same
view of the Canadian champion. 1t
is necessary only to take a glance at
the records of the two men, for n
to conclude that no matter what the
outcome may be it will be one of
the greatest battles in history.
As a promoter Tom Chambers GER
tainly is a star. Prof. W. w Lang
don will referee. That Honest Bill"
Langdon is acceptable to such men as
Johnson and Barrieau oes without
saying Viewing the entire card it
certainly can we'll be termed an all
star cast.
Even at this early date there is a
big demand for reserved seats and
many are making sure that they will
be IN a position to see every move
ment when two of the greatest well
ter weights in the business face each
other for championship honors.
