Monster Crowd Sees
$50 Long Lefty"

sembled in southern Oregon's largest
theatre witnessed the production OF
$50 Long Lefty" in the Chautauqua
auditorium Friday night. That the
show was success in every way Is
shown by the countless congratula-
tions which the management has re-
ceived on every side for the efficient
way in which the crowd was handled
and masterful way in which the play
was staged. But one accident marred
the eening. This happened when a
fuse was blown out inv a nearby
transformer just as the crowd was ar
irving and which caused the entire
auditorium to go dark for about fif-
teen minutes. This delayed the start
ing of the show for nearly an hour.
Immense Crowd.
The auditorium was arranged to
seat 5000 people, and the building
was SO near filled that 1t looked to the
average spectator as if there was fully
that number of people present. The
final report from the box office
shows, however, that there was
slight number over 1000 people pres
ent. Scores of people came from
down the valley by auto and the
special train from Grants Pass was
we'll patronized Many people were
present from northern California,
while the local people turned out en-
masse. The streets we're lined with
visiting peoples autos, and after the
show was out the traffic resembled
that of the Hyiu Hehe days. It took
IS ushers to handle the throng in the
auditorium.
Cast Enjoys Visit.
The troupes special train, consist
ing of two baggage cars of scenery,
etc, two Pullmans and chair car,
arrived in the city early Tuesday
morning. Most of the company were
soon in Lithia park. Some of them
hired horses and spent the forenoon
riding up the canyon and about the
many scenic drives above the park;
others unpacked baseball parapher-
MALTA and got busy on the wide lawns
of the upper park, while some made
good use of the tennis courts. The
special train left Wednesday morning
for Eugene, where the production was |
staged Wednesday night
Management Deserves Credit.
The show is undoubtedly the big
gest production that has ever stopped 4
in southern Oregon. and its stopping
here was made possible only by the
progressiveness of Mrs. Oskar T.

versed in the scholastic philosophy
but beginning to doubt its truth he de-
termined to further examine every
thing in the light of reason, and he
assumed everything to be false that
could be doubted. He began by laying
aside everything which could possibly
be doubted. AS a result he eventually
found that the only thing that he did
believe was that he doubted. At this
stage he formulated this statement:

stage he found that this mere stat -

that the condition was purely psychol-

threatened the financial fabric was
doubt. Doubt caused the panics and
il was only the return of faith, the
restoration of confidence that ended
the panic. In 1907 when certain in
terests desired to create disturbance
they did so by creating a doubt as TO
financial conditions. The great Bank
of Commerce at Kansas City was one
of the strongest institutions, but be-
cause il was insidiously whispered
around that this institution was
shaky. people lost confidence and fin

George Beban, without peer
as a delineator of Italian char
acters on both stage and screen,
displays in Lost in Transit, "
now playing at the Idaho, all
the fine, poignant touches that
give life and appeal to each of
his characterizations, proving
absolutely the soul and honesty
of the man himself. Comedy
and pathos become virile from
his Characterization in this pie
ture.
The production is a more elabor-
ate one than usual, and shows
throughout the touch of Donald
Crisp who directed the production.
The Big Star-"BOb White"
But the one, big treat of Lost in
Transit" is not the star not the
director, but one little person known
as Bob White" Bob's simply
wonder-a IL year old marvel,
that simply grabs all the honors in
sight. Nicolo, friend Beban, finds
Bob tucked in the rags of his junk
wagon. Nobody wants him. Who
ever finds this child may have him.
But Nicolo nearly loses him, and
there hangs a story that is interest
