posed to enter the Fruita field or to

The taking over of the Fruita asso-

COLLIER MAKES HIT
AT THE TACOMA

Willie Collier-no, we'd better
make 1t William Collier, since he
insists-scored hit last night at
the Tacoma theater in his comedy
success, 1.-THE Lucky Star"
Collier ranks as one of the
very best comedians on the stage
and deserves it all because he
scores without any apparent ef-
fort. He is entirely natural. He
says things as if he Just happened
to think of them in that light. 1t
appears to be spontaneous. There
is no slap-stick work. 1t is high
class comedy.
And, best of all, he doesn't
laugh himself. His best things
are said with sober face.
Collier doesn't give you many
funny things to go home to your
neighbors about. But you laugh
at the time. And the show leaves
a good taste in your mouth. 1t
Is clean, bright humor.
The story concerns young
artist named Starr, who has rent
ed motor boat in Holland. AS
he is ready to leave, two young
women. heiresses of the owner.
appear. 1t ends IN their inviting
Starr to go along with them, his
aunt to be chaperone.
But Starr cannot locate his

aunt, and has to hire one. All
sorts of candidates appear, and he
fiually picks one. Then the uncle
reads in the papers that his wife
is going to chaperone the party,
and he starts after them. There
are complications galore. And
Starr loses with both girls, and
finally picks the hired aunt-who
discloess herself a young girl in
disguise.
Here is the one point where the
audience isn't very enthusiastic
about the plot. The aunt is put
through all kinds of ridiculous
stunts, carries q poodle dog, is af-
fected, does absurd things. II
doesn't go well when Starr, whom
the crowd has come to like a whole
lot, wants to marry her-even
with the white powder washed
from her hair.
However, it's thoroughly good
show with this one flaw.
Collier put on his enjoyable re-
Spouse to curtain calls. He ad-
vanced to the fotlights just as the
scene shutters rushed out to clear
the stage. They ran all over the
actor In their haste, and the cur
tain was rung down, then up, then
down, leaving Collier stranded.
The audience liked the by-play.

It was Betty Mercer who said
she was hungry. and got us
switched from the delicate sub
ject of which was the thief to
the quite as pressing subject of
which was to be cook. Aunt Sc
lima had slept quietly through the
whole thing-we learned after
ward that she customarily slept
on her left side, which was on her
good ear. We gathered in the
Dallas Browns room. and Jimmy
proposed plan.
I'VE can have anything sent in
that we want" he suggested spe-
ciously, "and IL Dial doesn't make
good with the city fathers, you
girls can get some clothes anyhow.
Then, we can have dinner sent

why not all the meals?" Max
suggested. II hope you're not GO

eddy, looking at Tom HARRISON,
who was out of earshot, why

wifely skill"
1t ended. however. with Mr..
HARRISON writing out a lot of slips,
cook, scullery-maid, chambermaid,
parlor-maid, furnace-man, and
butler, and as that left two people
over-we didn't count Aunt Sc
lina-he added another furnace
man and a trained nurse. Betty
Mercer drew the trained nurse
slip, and, of course, she was de-
| lighted. 1t seems funny now to
look back and think what a
dreadful time she really had, for
Aunt Selma took the grippe, you
know. that very day.
1t was fate that / should go
back to that awful kitchen, for of
course my slip said "cook." Mr..
HARRISON was butler, and Max and
Dial got the furnace, although nei-
ther of them had ever been near
er to a bucket of coal than the
coupons on mining stock. Anne
got the bedrooms, and Leila was
parlor-maid. 1t was Jimmy who
got the scullery work, but he
was quite crushed by this time,
and did not protest at all.
Max was in very bad temper:
suppose he had not had enough
sleep-no one had. But he came
over while the lottery was going
on and stood over me and de-
manded unpleasantly, in a whis-
per, that I stop masquerading as
another mans wife and generally
making fool of myself---which is
the way he put it. And ! knew
in my heart that he was right, and
l hated him for 1t.
/ why don't you go and tell him
-them?" I asked hastily. No
one was paying any attention to
us. Tell them that, to be oblig-
ing, I have nearly drowned in a
sea of lies; tell them that am not
only not married, but that ! never
intend to marry; tell them that
we are q lot of idiots with nothing
better to do than to trifle with
strangers within our gates, people
who built mean, people that
are worth two to our one! Run
and tell them"
! He looked at me for minute,
then he turned ON his heel and
left me. 1t looked as though Max
might be going to be difficult.
