WOW! BUT ROUND
Up" IS THRILL
ING

The audience that saw Maclyn
Arbuckle and his comapny in The
Round Up" last night at the Aud
itorium was worked up to a high
pitch of excitement by the great
battle scene in the third act, when
troop Of United States soldiers
and a sheriff's posse attack a band
of Apache Indians among the rocks
in the Arizona desert. The stage
combat started with pistol duel
in which two prospectors held the
Indians at bay. Then the troops
and the deputies arrive, the Indians
appear in swarms and soon the
blaze of rifle succeeds the revolv-
ers. A machine gun is then trained
on the Indians and for space of
four or five minutes the stage is
ablaze with flashing powder and the
noise is terrific. Taking it all
around it is one of the most real
istic battle scenes ever witnessed
in local theater. At the close OF
the act with the smell Of powder
and the fever Of excitement still
holding sway. the audience arose
en- masse while the orchestra play
ed The Star Spangled Banner
The scenic effects in THE Round
Up" are splendid. The desert
scene is impressive and wonderful
ly natural A score of Indians on
horseback tread the high rocks
with ease and seem at home In
the general desolation. The plains
showing the cattle outfit in the
following act is also good. The
cowboys mount their horses. dash

HEIR TO H00RAH''
VERY GOOD

From the rise to the fall of
the curtain on the fourth
act last night The Heir to the
Hoorah" presented by the members
of the Lawrence stock company
at the Spokane theater, was warm
~ applauded. From the crowded
house which greeted the players
one would be convinced Of the pop
ularity of the play.
The Heir to the Hoorah' is con-
sidered one of the best of the west
ern dramas of the time. 1t Is full
of comedy and yet at the same
time weaves plot with character
and pathos.
One cannot help but follow with
sympathy the life of Joe Lacey,
owner of the Hoorah mine, who
practically buys his wife whom he
loved dearly from his cold and
heartless mother in law. On &C
count of his unpublished manner
his wife, a young woman of refine
ment and education, expresses her
contempt and hatred for him which
eventually sends him away from
her. Upon his return from abroad
several months later. he is informed
that he Is the father of baby boy,
who is The Heir to the Hoorah."
The affections of the mother and
father are conferred about the child
and through him they become re-
conCiled. ID. 5. Lawrence as Joe
Lacey and Miss Jane Vivian kelton
as the wife gave splendid portray
ais of the parts.
The Heir to the Hoorah" Is not
as one might expect as expressive
of real western frontier life of the
cowboys. They are present in
many acts and carried on much OF
the comedy yet they We're not heard
| in riotous scenes of shooting and
| fighting.
Phillip Sheffield as Hush" Joe s
Jap: Daisy Davia as Mrs. Kent
Ioe's mother in law; ALI T. Layne
as his brother; Florence Chapman
as "Madge Casey; Carl Stock
dale as Van Rensselaer, Kelly" and
Clara Beyers as Mrs. Kate Brand
on; all claimed their share OF
credit and on a whole the perform
ance was very satisfactory.

INDIAN BOY BEATS HOUNDS.
He Traied Robbers Where Dogs Re
fused to Go in Timber.


Taking a trail that bloodhounds refused
to follow, Willie Bryant, full-blooo
Cherokee boy. 10 years old, led the way
for so miles through some of the roughest
tmbered country in the Cherokee nation,
covering the entire distance in day, ana
with a posse surrounded and captured the
two remaining train robbers who made a
futile attempt to hold up train crew at
Braggs. The hold up resulted in a
fight in which an officer was killed and
one of the robbers badly injured.
The feat of Bryant in following the ROB,
bers' trail is one of the most wonderful
insidents of outlawry in the Cherokee ma
ton He has for several years been
known locally as the best trailer OF the
section around Braggs. He has IN
herited all the instincts of his forefathers
in the craft of the trail. Naturally the
local officers who know his ability turned
to him as leader.
