"Out In idaho.n
"Out in Idaho is no place for nervous
or timid folks, judging from the drama
Of that name presented to a full house in
Chandler Music ball Monday night.
Gentlemen, and even ladies, wear formid-
able looking pistols out there and draw
them forth as carelessIy as handkerchiefs
are produced elsewhere, adding greatly to
the uncertainty of life, especially when
some fair finger Is on the trigger, and Il
is impossible for an insurance expert to
place the risk in a crowd with any degree
Of accuracy.
"Out in Idaho,'' too, life is not only
strenuous but highly improbable affair
with disguises and aliases and piottings
that a six-year-old, IL he were not stone
blind, would be able to see through. The
darkest villainy is contrasted With q
guilelessness that suffers loving daugh-
ter to leave her aged father and a lot Of
valuable papers to the tender mercies Of a
repentant murderess, whom the daughter
caught not three minutes before in an
attempt to kill the venerable parent.
The company was OF an even brill

Z from another star in glory, and none Of
them needed to be observed through q
smoked glass. Bess, the pride of Idaho,
was played by Miss Dorothy Kurtis, in
I whose makeup for the quick-shooting,
poker-playing, free and happy girl OF the
mines, the absence of cud of gum was
painfully noted. As she sat on the table
swinging her feet and a riding whip, and
listened to the exciting warn Of hold-up,
her jaws should have been working, like
som of those among the spectators, from
whom, no doubt, a chunk of spruce
could have been borrowed for the occa-
sion. She had a very sweet soprano
voice, and her two solos we're delightful
and refreshing features OF the perform
ance. Daintily gowned in the last act,
she appeared to be an unconmonly pretty
girl.
