New sidewalk has been laid this
week in front Of Anderson's drug store
and the Bee Hive. This is a good ex-
ample for others on Main street to
follow SO that all the walks on both
sidc5 of the street will extend clear
to the curb and match the paved
street. 1t is an improvement that will
pay as big dividends as the paving,
and the street does not look complete
without it nor is the paving set off
to as good advantage as it will when
new walks are laid.
e. w. Hyde, superintendent of the
city power plant, returned Sunday from

The engine is all ready to ship. 1t
will be held in Burlington, however.
until the electrical machinery is com
pleted and orders for shipment given
for the engine and the generator at the
same time in order to save on expenses
of installation.
Unexcelled dramatic ability and the
newest plays are the outstanding fea-
lures of the Dorothy Tavern Stock
company which has been greeted by
painfully small audiences at the opera
house this week. The company is
composed of artists of a much higher
character than is usually the privilege
of a city of this size to entertain.
The plays are all proven successes
fresh from theatrical centers and
shown for the first time in ~Brookings.
Monday night the company opened
with Civilian Clothes" one of the
biggest hits since the war, Tuesday
night they played Dawn of the Noun
tain" which had a long run in New
York and London and is doubtless still
running in London. Last night Com
mon Clay" was given, a play that
everyone has heard about and those
who missed the Interpretation of the
ittuilS liza dSltl ny nISS La -
missed some Of the finest dramatic
art ever seen in the city. Tonight
the company has a farce comedy, she
Walked in Her Sleep" which is bound
to please everyone. The company is
composed of the following people:
Dorothy Tavern, Constance Hallett,
Grace Edwards, Mae Ashley, Arthur
Hayes, Franklin Chappell, Richmond
Kent. AL. Jackson, Jack Goodwin,
Frank Callahan and Dave Campion.
All are a pleasure TO meet and show
a very democratic desire to become
acquainted with the people of Brook
ings. We have found them to be
mighty fine congenial folks and they
deserve better appreciation from the
theater patrons Of this community for
the superior entertainments which
they have given.
