"THE BOYS OF co. b.
Paul Gilmore VIII be Here Saturday
in Popular Play.

The following Is from the Salt Lake
| City Republican Of Feb. 15.-In "The
Boys Of Company b." which opened
at the Colonial theatre last night to
one Of the biggest audiences Of the
J season, Paul Gilmore has secured a
play which apparently suits him to
| perfection. The action is simple and
the plot obvious almost from the start
but the performance Is novel and re-
freshing and a number Of Interesting
sidclghts on college and military life
, " the National Guard order add dis
t'nctly to the play.
A girl, Eileen MacLane, played by
Miss Jane Aubrey, young, innocent and
impress!onable, and Il man, Tony Allen
by Mr. Gilmore, sincere, honest, but
woofully lacking IN the ability 10 set
tie down to a mans part in the world
furnish the action Of the play revOlves
Boths parts are well taken and a
wealth Of scenic attractions and ward
robe lends interest and color to the
various scenes. Mr. GilmOre's rendi-
ton Of the role Of Tony Allen leaves
little to be desired and his support
throughout was strong and well
balanced.
In the part Of Henry Stalber, a
snobbsh New Yorker of the ge;-rich-
quick variety, Harry r. McClain
scored a notable success. The part
Is not one which commands either
the respect or sympathy of the audi
ence and in the hands Of anyone but
capable actor, might easily have
fallen flat. As it was Mr.. McClain
handled his lines TO perfection.
Lynne Overman as "Chick" Sewell,
also gave a splendid performance, his
conception of the part of a youngster
just out OF school and longing for a
touch OF real life but uncertain as to
how to go about it, being one of the
strongest parts in the play.
OF the women, outside the part of
Eileen MacIane there was but little
TO choose. Edna Bern. as Mrs. Mac
Lane gave a creditable performance.
and Jimmie Jimesoon, as Madge
Blake. was distinctly good. especially
I'm the last act. All in all the per-
formance is bright and pleasing with
a vein of real humor running through
the entire play.
Paul Gilmore will be the attraction
at the Oregon theater Tuesday, Feb
ruary 27.

plant with ample capital for the max
ing Of the fine quality Of paper that
is produced from okra pulp Is promis-
ed the community.
New Investigations show a very fine
quality Of paper and Mr.. Moore has
given very close consideration to all
the details. He IS now very much en-
couraged with the outlook and a meet
ing Of business men at the office Of
the Macon Chamber Of Commerce in
the near future is promised, where
the proposed paper plant will be dis

be told Of by Mr. Moore.
Already considerable time and
money have been spent in the expert

posed new industry are more than
pleased with results and it is said that
there is sufficient faith to start a big
enterprise in paper making.
