Sat., June 8, 1996

From Staff And Wire Reports

Missing: one Alanis Morissette handbag, last seen backstage during her concert at the Gorge Amphitheater.

The Canadian singer left the bag backstage during her June 1 concert, and members of her entourage reported it missing immediately after the show, said Creighton Burke, marketing director for MCA Concerts Northwest, operator of the summer outdoor concert series at the Columbia Gorge.

The bag contained personal belongings and recorded materials that Morissette wants returned, Burke said. He declined to elaborate.

MCA Concerts is offering a free season pass for the return of the bag and its contents, or for information leading to their return, Burke said.
