SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

At this eleventh hour it is hardly
probable that anything that can be
said on behalf OF the high school en-
tertainment that takes place tonight
will add to the interest that the public
always feels in any performance put
on the boards by the high school pu-
pills, but least some one may forget
to the big event, the date and the
place. In the past the high school
plays have always drawn large audi
ences and those audiences have never
been disappointed in the character OF
the performance presented This year
the pupils have selected very inter-
esting drama in The Winning Of La
tame" written by Oliver P. Parker,
one that is replete in strong situations
and humor. Those who are cast to take
part have appeared in plays in the
past with great credit to themselves,
and the presentation tonight will be
in keeping with all previous efforts
along the same line. The performance
takes place at the Orpheum. At the
close OF the play a social dance will
be given. The Oroville orchestra will
furnish music during the play and for
the dance. The proceeds go to aid the
High School Athletic Association. We
have no doubt the public will be just
as liberal in its patronage tonight as
1t has been on all previous occasions
in which the high school has given
public entertainments
