REVIEW OF oil
MARKET SITUATION

The oil business seems also 10 be
adjusting itself TO the conditions of
the country. Heavy crude in this sec
tion has been reduced SOC barrel.
The reduction affects Healdton and
rorsicana heavy. Fuel oil has been
reduced until the price is now $1.25
and many refiners are OF the opinion
that the price will not have reached
its lowest level until it has gone TO
one dollar. Refiners say that there is
almost no market at all for kerosine
and the market on gasoline Is slow.
The refiners have had an opportunity
10 export products but he foreign mar
rat does not pay clsh. The refincrs
mus. furnish the products and pay
freight to seaboard and wait three
months for the money. Local banks
are not IN position 20 carry the load,
many OF the refiners are not able to
carry II and as Ia result the exports on
Jhese terms are rather light. Some OF
the refiners made no consgnments at
al on these terms and some consigned
lightly on the products they have on
hands
Oil statistics show that as much
heavy crude oil is beins shipped here
from Mexico as the entire state OF Ok.

affected by Indian tenures. AS this

since many exceedingly technical re-

that this will be a lucrative field for

Indian titles do not depend upon
general principles of law as much as
they do upon the policies adopted by

MY GOLDEN GIRL
PROVESPLEASINC
Not Great Show But It
Had Redeeming
Features

A full house greeted ''My Golden
Girl" Victor Herbert's musical
comedy, at the Rylander Tuesday
night despite the rain. And it was
not entirely a local audience, doz-
ems of faces from elsewhere being
scattered through the house.
Most of those who saw the show
were pleased It was not a great
company and the production was not
put over in great way. But it was
sprightly, bright, humorous, musical
and clean. The female members
of the company were not all as at
tractive physically as one or two of
them, but their costumes had a clean
and attractive appearance, and in
the first scene were particularly
bright.
''My Golden Girl" lacked several
essentials Of a high class entertain
ment. Most noticeable was the lack
of an orchestra of sufficient size
and quality to properly put over the
music; next, it lacked male voices
in chorus and solo work; and third
ly, it was short in tuneful music, al
though not entirely lacking.
In the matter of orchestra, the
company carried five musicians, for
augmenting local house orchestras,
and these were obliged to supply all
the music. In the matter of male
voices, high railroad fares make it
impossible to carry choruses as of
yore, and so the chorus men were
missing, while the male principals
lacked singing ability. In the mat,
ter of the score, Victor Herbert has
written more pleasing productions
than "My Golden Girl" although
the songs "Name the Day." o Night
In June" and the we'll known "An
Old Fashioned Garden" pleased
thoroughly.
The story, which serves as more
of a plot than most musical COM
edies, is an adoption of Frederic Ar
mold Runners short story, "Change
Partners" and furnished many d.
verting situations. 1t has to do with
young couple agreeing to obtain
a divorce just as their first ami
versary rolls around. Each has an
affinity, of which each knows, and
these affinities are invited to their
home the same day for inspection
and approval by the other. OF
course, the affiHities, in the end, fall
in love with each other and the story
ends with the young couple seeing
their folly and making up
Augustus Buell., as Wilson, the
butler, and Fac Brown as Blanche,
the maid, both agile and graceful
dancers and the former a droll COM
edian, pleased probably more than
any other two members of the COM
pany. Mildred Goodfellow, as Kit
ty Mason; Loretta Sheridan, as Miss
Randolph, one of the affinities; and
Virginia Burt, as Mrs. Mitchell, the
young wife, all had excellent voices.
Harold S. Orr, as the young hus-
band, and Russell Lennon, as the
male affinity, also did their parts
well. Harry Harmsen, as Stein, the
lawyer, and Jack Freed, as Stern,
the lawyer, representing the young
husband and wife in the contemplate
ed divorce, drew many laughs with
their Hebrew dialect comedy.
Altogether, it was a pleasing show,
but not a show to remember long
or to bring regrets for having miss
ed. There will be others just as
good-and probably some worse.
