OZARK HILL LIFE IS
 SHOWN AT PARK
Shepherd of Hills a Gripping
 Drama of Mountain Life and PleaSes Initial Audience.
(RevieW.l

The Shepherd of the Hills which opened at the Park theatre last night. has an excellent cast, and is deserving of better support than was accorded on sts initial performance.
 The intricate plot grated among the simple folk of the Ozarks was well presented, with Thomas Fitzgerald shepherd of the hills. Sammy Lane, the heroine of the play, which is taken by Miss Lola Stuart, is one of the strongest characters and Miss Stuart as the country lass who by means of her own natural ability educates her self among the ignorant hill folk, takes the audience by storm, from the time the curtain goes up.
 The part of Pete, the son of an art ist who deserts the handsome country lass, is taken by Miss Esther Joy. Grant Mathews, Jr. is ably presented by H. D. Hickman.
 The first act is the exterior of the Mathews home. It is here that the Shepherd of the Hills first makes his appearance in the midst of the simple hill folk. Because of hss kindly na- ture, and philosophy that so amazes these folk he becomes fairly worship ped by them. He is in search of an artist son, who had deserted the daughter of old Mat Mathews when the child was born
 There is much simple humor throughout the play. and, the dro1Ta and sometimes pathetic speeches, con vllses the audience at T times The Shepherd of the Hills earns the hatred of Walsh Gibbs, a leader of the law less element, and the third act closes is in search of the Shepherd Pete learns of this and warns the Mathews, who hastens to head off the gang that threatens to shoot him. But before Gibbs can be met by the Mathews, a stranger kills Gibbs and routs the remainder.
 It develops that the stranger is the son of the Shepherd of the Hills, the artist upon whom old Mat Mathews wants to wreak vengeance for ruining the life of his daughter. The kind ness of the t.shepherd'' had already affected these people, and old Mat and the shepherd go arm in arm to greet the son both have waited for so long
 The love plot is but secondary, and the audience is more interested in the gripping scenes of hill life, than in the way Sammy Lane refuses her cowardIy. f1ance Olie Stewart, to take young Mat Mathews as a husband.
