Academy.

Academy patrons last night gave THE
Shepherd of the Hills a cordial welcome.
Although full of tense situations, pc
culiar to the mountain districts where
feudlsts reign. the play Is interpered
with humor OF the sort that serves to
relieve these tight places at the oppor-
tune time.
The scene of the play is laid in the
Ozark mountains of Missouri. The story
deals with the mountaineer whose only
daughter has been wronged by an artist
and dies leaving Pete" a child of ma
ture who roaIns the fields night and day
The presence OF Sammy Lane, an
adopted daughter. helps the mountaineer
to forget his troubles, but he longs only
for the time when he can meet the man
responsible for his daughters death
along with the father OF the man whom
he also Blames. \ stranger puts up at
tie mountaineers house for night, and
as the mountaineer tells him OF his
troubles the stranger realizes that il Is
his supposedly dead son whom the noun
taineer is describing. The stranger re-
mains and becomes "Ihe Shepherd of
the Hills, living where no human being
except Pete dares To stay.
Sammy Lane. who is engaged to marry
a rich city fellow, is really in love with
young Matt. the mountalneer's son. and
finally breaks her engagement when

Gayety.

The entertainment provided .at the
Gayety Theater by the Golden Crook
company. with Frank \. Burt. Frank
Dobson and Maude Rockwell as head
liners proves effective and acceptable.
The principals are clever. the chorus
large and we'll costumed and the scenery
unusually elaborate.
Burt and Dobson, as tramp comedians,
manage TO keep the audience in continu-
Gus laughter. Dobson is an eccentric
dancer of ability and his work in this
line wins applause The comedians scored
big hit in musical act which forms
a part of the olio. Dobson plays the
banjo and Burt the flute.
Jack StrouSe sings several good songs
and also is responsible for d good olio
number.
Maude Rockwell. who has the leading
feminine role. does her part in making
the entertainment "A success. Mss Rock

pitched voice which she uses to excellent
advantage in s.-eral songs.

oIio number entitled .'Dingiespier $

things in the show. Frank and Kitty

Just how interesting situation can de-
velop is shown by the Poll Players this
week in The County Chairman The
comedy, which was written by George
AIDE. has setting of ructicity with an
irresistible appeal.
With the various roles well interpreted
the performance was unusually well re-
ceived. and the applause continued until
Theodore Roberts, THE county chair
man.. and Stanley James. who has the
leading comic role, answered curtain
calls.
THE County Chairman is partly a
tale of love. The political mix-up de-

Lucy Rigby. is nominated for the posi-

Difficulties arise when Wheeler attempts
to protect himself i'm the political field
and yet retain the love Of the girl.
Through jim Hacker. the county chair
man, who is his friend. he is enabled 10

Humor is predominant throughout the
and there with pathos and philosophy.
The play is well staged and realistic

performance would be to give the names
of all who took part in the play. Miss
