Lena Is Coming.
At the Victor Theater, Wood
and Ray offer a brand new version
of a grand old book,"Lena River,"
Mary J. Holmes' best seller. Al
though many versions have been
written, none have equaled the
Wood-Ray version. Hundreds of
theater goers, who at different
times have witnessed inferior
versions by mediocre companies,
have not lost their desire to see
one of the prettier stories that was
ever written in the English lan
guTage, properly produced by a
capable company. Messrs. Wood
kind Ray absolutely guarantee this
production as different from any
so far presented, and also after one
has witnessed the performance, if
they do not cheerfully say it is not
only the best version but the most
pleasing play of its kind they have
seen in late years, their money will
be prompty refunded.
The action of the council re
gaiding new industries reminds us
of the song: "Mr. O'Bryan Had
No Place to Go."
There was a nice shower of rain
to fall Sunday, and as the old say
ing is, when it rains on the. eight
of June it will rain for forty days.
If this the case, we would ask
that it please be good and not rain
to much at a time, for we certaiply
can stand a nice shower every day
for the next forty days and be
thankful for it, but if it rains heavy,
the chances are that we would
suffer by it. This is a case of
"trust to hack."

andI a patcket house vwas p)resntt to
sce anld hear the children.
The children were vwell trained
and acted their parts very well, in
fact exceptionally well, and this is
dine to the painstaking teachers,
Miss Pauline Mizzi, principal of
the primary dcpartment, and Miss
Roberta 1'oung,assistant princijpal,
who deserve credit for the work
they have done for the children of
the department.
The program of the evening was
as follows:

.............................. 30 P u pils

Thomas, Eunice Samson and
Florence Brasseux.
Miss Pauline Mizzi, the teacher
of the primary department of the
high school, was presented with a
loving cup at the close of the pro
gram of the.primary entertainment
Wednesday night. Mr. F. J.
Samson made the presentation, and
praised Miss Mizzi for the esteem in
which she is held by the children
and the parents.
Mr. Samsion said in part:
"Miss Mi,,i: S)me )'enerous friends
of yours and some appr cintie parents, I
whose children you have taught, have
contributed towards the presentation to
you tonight of this loving cup. It is a
token of their regard, their esteem,
their affection for you. It is a faint
itnuemnto of their gratitude. It is an
insignificant tribute to your sterling
qualifications as a teacher. Ilonor to
whom honor is due.
"It has been my good fortune in life
to have met many of your chosen pro
fessioVJ I have, in fact, always sought
their association. If there be any pro
fession for which I have respect,
admiration and consideration, it is for
the teacher. And I believe if any labor
can pecullarly attract the gracious and
approving eye of Heaven, it is when the
Almighty looks down upon the little
school room and sees there the teacher,
helping the little tots to develop"their
God-given reason, and teaching them
the intents and purposes of their ex
istence.
"Aye, I have met teachers, but I say
this and I my it meaningly, in no spirit
of alultion, that I have never met one
better fitted, better qualified, more
cimpetent, more profcient in the art of
teaching the little ones than you are. I
have never seen one to commelnd the
universal love of her children as you do.
and that, patience, self sacrifice, seal,
devation, on your part. You may have
parallels, but you have no superiors in
)arr work.
"Miss Mini, I now, on behalf of these
friends and parents, deliver to you this
cup. Accept it, not for its intrinsic value,
but with the sentiments that attracted
the does. Take it and remember that
not ase cent paid for it was obtaIned by
oersaive methods. very coin contributed
was gives as freely and generously as
God's smalight."
nla aswer to the presetation, Miss
"Ladies sad gentlemen; kind patrons
and friends: There Is bt one thing that
I can properly do on this occasion, and

New Theater Opened.
Sundat y night the new Victor
theater was opened utp to its many
patrons, with vaud\eville in con
nection with the regular moving
picture program, and the house
was filled to its capacity.
The pIcople appreciate the efforts
of the theater man, Mr. A. O.
Landry, the manager, for he has
provided the city with an up to
date show house, and one that is
plenty large for the size of the
city. The building was putt by the
popular contractors, the Caldwell
Brothers, being owned by Messrs.
Suntma Caldwell and J.G. leBlanc.
The building is a pretty one and
aplpears like stone, painted white,
and is a credit to the contractors,
while the fixtures inside are of the
best, beinr, fitted utp with the
regular opera chairs.
The curtains for the stage were
made up by the artist, J. K.
Lambe, who had the contract for
the work. This also is a very
pretty piece of work.
Public Schools Close.
The Public schools of the parish
closed yesterday. Work was con
tinued up to noon at the Abbeville
high school, at which time the
grades and promotions were given
each pupil by their respective
teachers, and shows that the at
tendence in the high school will be
pracically double that of this year,
although there will be but six
members of the graduating class
of 1913-1914.
