The play, although depending upon transparent and time-honored theatrical devices, is more skillfully | constructed than many farces of its type, and contains here and there bits of dialogue which are worth a laugh. The plot concerns the efforts of a well-meaning young married man to extricate himself from an accidental entanglement with a chorus lady, and the situations into which he plunges himself and his friends keep the audience bolsterously amused up to the very moment of the final cur: tain, MAINTAINS POISE IN LINGERIE Anne Berryman had an excellent opportunity to exhibit her piquancy in the part of Trixie. Altho she spent the greater portion of the evening drees in garments de. signed primarily for the privacy of ® Indy'’s boudoir, she managed to retain an engaging poise and non- chalance except when confronted with the lawful wife of the man in whose apartment she was accident. ally installed, Alice Elliot and Fred Dunham, the principals, performed with their usual effectiveness, and were cap- ably supported by Forrest Carter, Emily Pinter, and Howard Russell in secondary roles. An exceptionally good characteriza tion waa that offered by Georgia Knowlton in the part of Nora, the Irish maid. She was really amusing. FINE STAGING DONE IN THIRD ACT John H. Eliott took the minor role of Dr. Bentley, Worth mentioning, because of ita rarity, was the fine ‘staging used in the third act, Ernest Glover, the scenic artist, deserves commendation for his conception of this setting, which wag in thoroly good taste, and in keeping with the .most modern principles of stage-craft. “Nightie Night” will be on all this week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. . eee COMEDY AT. MOORE-ORPHEUM Abundance of comedy is offered on the new Orpheum vaudeville bill at the Moore theatre this week. Carlyle Blackwell, well known motion pic- a number of men. ture star, is billed as the feature traction, in a pleasing one-act play entitled “Eight, Six and Four.” George McKay and Ottie Ardine in their comedy skit, “stop the show.” ‘There's nothing extra witty about what they say, but it's the clever way they present their act that gets it by with such success, The Quixey trio, three musical lade, win a big share of the ap plause with their singing and instru: mental offerings. Neal Abel, the man with the mobile face, keeps the audience in an uproar with his mono- Bob Carleton and Julla Ballew of- fer a syncopated act that has toyches of comedy in it, and they are liber: ally applauded. The acrobatic offerings are offered by the Juggling Nelsons and the Bennet Sisters with Arthur Dennis. Not the least pleasing feature of the bill ig the big “revue,” in which all characters on the bill are seen. eee MOTORCYCLE ACT AT PALACE HIP All the world does not love the motorcycle as a mode of conveyance; bug regardiess of prejudices for or against the eruptive vehicle, every. one can and does enjoy the comedy that centers around the broken.down motorcycle employed by McGreevy Kittitas county is crossed | four of the primary state high- the Inland Empire, Sunset, Central and Yellowstone trail. e of these is paved here.

SAGE RAT COMMITTING COSTLY DEPREDATIONS Thruout Kittitas county a drive ts being conducted by the farmers against the sage rat, This little animal, no larger than an ordinary park squirrel, costs the east side farmer millions of dollars every year. One sage rat costs $41 a year, may the farmers. Poisoned grain puts an end to this pest. Kittitas county farmers are “cash- ing in” heavily on the farm bureau idea. A farm bureau is an organiza- tion of a farm community for the betterment of the farmers. The farmer’s troubles and problems are handled by experts. Fertilizers are tried out. Tips are forthcoming. The bureaus are literally saving thousands of dollars annually for the county. ‘This county claims one small sec. tion of land that produces fine strawberries in big quantities from eerily epring until Christmas.

In consequence, while making due allowance for the exaggeration and unreliability of the testimony of the defendant, there yet remains suffictent reasons upon which to find a decree of wep ergtion expecially in view of the fact that the testimony has not been contradicted.” Justice Finch went carefully tthrn the evidence introduced by Stokes in an effort to prove his wife's al- leged relations with other men and pointed out flaws tn it.
