pathetic and humorous The first act
shows a young man seeking for his
sweetheart in the Ozark mountains,
where he has followed her, and has
every reason TO believe that his
search is near an end. when he dis
covers that she is dead.
He is comforted by the sympathy
OF an old sheep herder, who advises
him not to go back to the world he
has left, but to stay with him out in
the mountains, near to nature and
to God. And thus we leave him in
the hills with the old sheep herder
and his sheep.
The next act, 20 years later. finds
him a white-haired man Of so, hon
est, truthful and sincere, with always
hand to help the fallen. A beauti-
ful love story runs through the rest
Of the play between a young minis
ter and young woman who come to
the mountains a stranger, as did the
shepherd 20 years before. There Is
a well-de1ned plot, but a description
Of 1t would take away It's beauty when
seeing It. The play is one that is
true to life, the characters being
counterparts Of many that can be
found today back in the Ozark hills.
The village gossips, the hypocritic-
al old deacon, the barefoot boy with
his pranks are comedy characters
that call forth hearty laughter. The
story is OF intense interest, without
being In the slightest degree sensa-
tional or melodramatic. There is not
a shot fred In the play.
The company carries a complete
set OF scenery for each act, with elec-
trical effects that show II to the best
advantage. 1t is safe to say that II
you see The Shepherd of the Hills"
you will go home saying Il is one OF
the best plays that you have ever
witnessed.
