the large audience that witnessed the
opening production appreciated the
entire company was evident from the
frequent and generous applause given
to every member of the cast.
Katherine Shepard, first as Cathe-

proved particularly popular with the
audience, while Cecil Fay, as Gertrude

with the elegant stage settings and

~ IFFERING in a marked degree
from the general run of stock
- companies that take to the road,
the Theordore Torch company which
opened at the Lavering theatre for
weeks run last night, excelled even
the promises of its press ageat. Per-
haps the latter gentleman, being a
native of Twin Falls, exercised more
caution than press agents generally
do, or else he just wanted to give
theatre goers of his home town lit
tie surprise.
Without going into the special mer-
its of the indivual members of the
cast of Help Wanted" Monday even
ing's offering, the most striking thing
about the company is the fact that it
consists of all talented actors; at
least this much may be said of those
appearing in the first performance
The ordinary stock company that goes
on the road usually consists of a
leading" man, or woman" as the
case may be, supported by collection
of would-be actors that reflect The
brilliancy of the lead" only by con
trast. There was nothing of this in
the Torch company, and even IT it
must be said in the interest of truth
that Mr.. Torch himself was not the
center of all interest and admiration,
it is very much to his credit that he
associated with himself a cast that
lifts the play out of the general run
of transformers" and puts it on the
