DEATH OF HENRIETTA DENNY.

At the family home in the Waldo
Hills, Monday, at 1l:00 a. m, occurred
the death OF Miss Henrietta Denny, af-
ter an illness lasting only from Satur-
day.
Miss Denny was born in the Waldo

Oregon became State. She received
her early education in the school near
her home, later attending Willamette
university where she graduated with
honors.
For fifteen years she followed the
vocation of teaching, in which she prov
ed very successful. She then returned
to the home place where she has since
made her home with her brotherErnest
and sister, Miss Clara, who with her
brothers, Elmer and Byron are left TO
mourn her passing. Miss Denny was
well liked by her acquaintance and
her death will be sorrow to her many
friends, who will sympathize with the
bereaved ones in their loss.
The funeral took place this afternoon
at l:30 'clocE in the Methodist church
Rev. Lockhart officiating, and there
was large attendance at the services

When you go to see Eva Tanguay at
The Grand Theatre on Wednesday,
Nov. Sth, for of course you will see
her-this most talkedabout women in
the world-you will leave the theatre
perhaps with a newer outlook on life
and with a wonder in ycur heart, and
you will puzzle long .on the wonderful
personality that has made Eva
Tanguay what she is.
For Eva Tanguay is an enigma: Her
voice is not her charm; her beauty is
not amazing.
Her gestures defy all Delsartian
rules, and her graces conform TO few
accepted theories OF the ideal or artis-
tic; yet she sways her audiences at her
will, moves them to enthusiasm, com
pels their laughter and leaves them
still demanding more of her presence
and her songs.
1t is magnetism of some sort, pow
er possessed by but few, an inexplic-
able something that the ,,Scotchman
Lauder and the amiable and remark
able Miss Tanguary, alone of all stars
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-10-28

of vaudeville, seem to hold the secret
of. The Tanguay gowns, eccentric, are
still marvels of beauty. Their rich
ness and value are easily discernible
within any reach of the footlights;
they fit her snugly and add charm to
her ampleness of form.
Her songs are not new; indeed, many
are so familiar, that you anticipate note
and verse, but still they ring in your
ears, they attract you mysteriouslN
You listen attentively, though you may
not applaud; you stare in wonder at
the enthusiasts about You and turn
your eyes again to the stage. And you
do not leave the theatre until the sing
er bows herself from the scene. 1t is
strange gift, this Tanguay magnet
ISM It is doubtful whether Eva her
self understands it, or even cares to-;
she realizes its strength, she exercises
it to its fullest; she packs theatres and
draws the largest salary in vaudeville,
and that, to her and the management,
is the one, the only important thing to
know.
