POLLS.
"The Matter Mind.0

The play chosen for production this
week by the Poll company is one worth
talking about and not easily forgotten,
and evidently every one who saw the
original production with Edmond Breese
in the title part has been remembering
it and talking ABOUT it. for. practically
every seat in the big theater was taken
last night. The bold and srikingly origl-
nal theme Of The Master Mind" has
been developed by the author, Daniel
d. Carter, with remarkable consistency
and ingenuity, and the result is not mere
ly a tense and lifelike melodrama but
a fantasy touched with the hUmor and
imaginative spirit Of the Arabian Nights.
sThe fascinating air OF mystery with
Which the author presents his chief char
aCter Is particularly effective. and air
Carl Brickert has caught the intended
meaning and expressed it 10 a nicely.
As the master crook, who pursues his
deep laid plan of vengeance to the very
moment of triumph and forces his victory
at the touch of sentiment, Mr.. Brickert
proves himself to be made OF sterner
stun than might be supposed from see
ing him in his usual paths Of dalliance.
To make himself, as lie does in this play,
a weird, dominating and almost somber
figure, Is no mean achievement in char
acter portrayal
Ihe cast Is unusually eutCllNe III 81
fording to each player a part precisely
suited to his or her best talents. Herbert
Dobbins as Wainwright, the former dis
trict attorney who is the victim OF the
Master Minds fantastic revenge, Is
forcible, dignifed, and convincing. Miss
Jane Morgan has splendid opportunities
for her appealing art in the role of the
former street waif who is educated by
the crook and married to the aspiring
attorney in furtherance of the plot.
Miss Kent, Mr.. James, and Mr.. Fillmore
are the precious trio Of crooks who pro-
vide, under the thumb of the master,
the semblance of a family for the de-
luded young lady. Miss Kent, as for
mer shoplifter. has a part very similar
to that in The Woman in the Case,
in which she was so notably successful.
Mr.. William H. Evarts plays a detec-
tive with his usual ability and quiet
force; Cecil Bowser is clever as a tough
summoned from Chicago 10 serve the
masters ends; Mr.. Charles Andre is good
as a doctor. and Hardie Meakin again
wears buttons.

TO PROBE CONDITIONS AT OAK
FOREST SATURDAY
The investigation into conditions
at the Oak Forest infrmary, which
are described by States Attorney
Hoyne as so revolving and shock
ing they will stir-the sympathy of
every man with decency," will be
begun by the county board Saturday.
The stories told by two women that
came to the attention of Commits
sioner Daniel Harris. chairman of
the Oak Forest committee, were so
ugly that they were rushed to the
state attorneys office Immediately.
James Mullenbach, formerly pro-
moter of organized charity. now SUI
perintendent at Oak Forest, is being
defended by Little Aleck" McCor-
mick, president of the county board,
who has refused to take much inter-
est so far in the stories told by the
two women.
Already much evidence has been
dug up by the Oak Forest committee,
of which Commissioner Harris is
president The two women, known
as Mrs. w" and Mrs. F." the Or
iginal complainants. were taken 10
the office of States Attorney Hoyne.
Among the charges made are:
That when Mrs. F. complained of
the poor quality of the food a nurse
shook her until she fell to the floor
and that two nurses then kicked her
until they were tired. causing her
right arm to become paralyzed and
covering her body with bruises.
That a nurse attempted to get two
gold rings Mrs f. was wearing; be-
came angered when she could not.
and stabbed Mrs F. in the hand, leav-
ing a permanent scar: that a week
later anothe Inurse tried to get the
rings and bit Mrs. F. on the hand in
trying to make her take them Off

Undoubtedly the collapse Of the bull party is ma

Moses Alexander is not of this type. What the papers

Alexander and extravan promises which could be full

which has dominated Idaho politics for many years We

those republican legislators will stand with the suggestions
of reform made by Alexander to enable the democrats give
our new governor the support he should have.
Again do not believe that this spirit of opposition will
