SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. IL
Spokane is city OF homes. Not
homes built in blocks. with party
walls between them. and little
stone porches in front. Not homes
built by the dozen and retailed on
the partial payment plan. MOI
yet homes built for millionaires
with acres of expensive ground
to help show them off. Finally
not homes built In tiers, reached
by elevators, and consisting most
iy of four rooms fronting on
court.
Spokane has not any of thes
kinds. 1t has real homes. Tasteful
little houses. built of wood an6
brick. each in a gem of a yard
each with its velvety lawn and
wonderful flowers and shrubs;
each with air and space and pri.
yacy and shade trees-some OF
them the frs and pines which
originally covered valley as well
as mountainside. Each home looks
neat and smart. The Windows
shine and the lawn is clipped and
the walks are swept and there is
the stamp of thrift-not to say
prosperity-on all.
The city has prosperous.

The Portland Press has the follow :
ing comment on THE Travelling Sales
man" which gave two performances in
that city Monday:
- Two good sized audiences enjoyed
to the limit the performance of THE
Travelling Salesman at the Jefferson
Monday afternoon and evening
The play was one of the great sue
cesses of the Metropolitan stage last
winter. one of its "krsockouts" to use
a theatrical term, and Portland thea
TRIGGERS were looking forward rather
eagerly to its first production here. NO
one was disappointed, in fact James
Forbes little comedy was even better
than was anticipated. For The TraV-
cling Salesman" is a comedy and the
fun that is in it is by far the best part
of it and also by far the most of it. 1t
isn't coarse fun but bright, intelligent
comedy, Astounding in the most laugh
able of situations and brimful of witty
savings and the most delicious slang.
The story is rather simple but it pos
sesseS real interest and no one laughs
so hard that he forgets to sympathiZe
with the hero and the heroine in their
troubles.
Briefly an old robber and a young
robber represented by a business man
and one of his hirelings, attempt to
cheat a young girl out of some land
she owns and which is about to be-
come valuable, and the travelling
salesman steps in and blocks the
game. The villain and the willamette
so to speak convince the girl that the

rather squally for the love affair that
is already well on between the two.
But the drummer" finally proved his
side of the case and as it was neces-
sary that the two should wed in order
to foil the would-be robbers, there
were strong symptoms that the happy
event was about to occur as the cur
tain falls.
The part of Beth Elliot, the heroin"
Of the piece, was played by Rosalind
Coghlan of the well-known family of
actors and herself a sweet faced, young
woman of most engaging manner ana
possessed of Singularly musical
voice Austin Webb was Bob Blake,
the travelling salesman, and he gave
sincere. manly impersonation of the
part
The remainder of the cast was re-
markably strong and even and there
was not a jar to the performance from
start to finish. All who enjoy bright

angagingly told should not miss "The

"BiIly the Kid" Sept. 10.

Producers of the plays of today, as
we'll as the dramatic authors are keen
~ alive to the fact that the public who
patrOnize the theatre demand great
deal of realism in all productions. In
the writing OF melodramas, the authors
of recent years have relied to a great
extent for their effects upon the me-
chanics of the stage craftsman. Near
ly everything, from the fire engine to
the steam hammer has been at some
time or other utilized. 1t is therefore
refreshing when the announcement is
made that one of the plays of the sea-
son, BILLY the Kid" is not melo-
drama whose stage mechanics dwarf
the actor, but one where the situations
are brought about by logical action OF
the we'll defined story the play tells,
and they are said to be of exceptional
strength. Novelties of many kinds
abound and there is lots of comedy.
The action of the play is placed in four
acts all of which are laid in New
Mexico. The characters are interest,"
ing types and are for the most part
drawn from life. At the head of a
well known company of players and
with an elaborate production, Billy,
