Management of Border Days
Has Neat Balance for
Commercial Club.
$643.6O in TREASURY
Good Performance With Sat-
isfied Public Considered
Before Profit Making.

1t is quite cheering to the CONNER
cial club and business men of the town
to know that the last Border Days
show has really come out to the good
$e4s.60. This Is the first time the ledg-
or account has footed up favorable to
the enterprise since the first show was
put on in 1912. That year a small
amount was turned into the treasury
of the club. Had the purpose Of the
Commercial club been to make money,
the managing committee could have
easily held the expenses down three or
four hundred dollars. But such was
not the intent the sole purpose being
TO give the public its full moneys worth
fn jam up good show, with all tthe
objectional frills cut out. To that end
additional expensive attractions were an
nexed to the program at the last mo-
ment, when 1t was seen that the ex-
penses were going to be met, one fea-
ture alone costing $225, and a number
of others less expensive being nego-
tiated for after the original program
had been completed and published.
While the cash balance is gratifying,
1t As not more so than the many favor
able comments on the character OF the
show which have been made to the
committee by leading citizens the cOun-
ty over. No show put ON at this place,
probably. has ever given the general
satisfaction that this years show did
and this fact has given the Comme ercial
body such encouragement 1t would not
be surprising II even better things
would be forthcoming next year. How
ever, ais new grounds will have to be
secured and fitted up. it is going to
be quite a heavy expense. and all the
citizens must make up their minds to
get into the breach and do their part
TO the full.
Following is presented Treasurer Van
Dewenters financial report, which has
been completed this week and handed
into the Commercial club for the first
time, the account OF this years Bor-
der Days being closed up and the funds
turned unto the commercial body's ac-
count. The report reads:
Grangeville. Ida, Nov. II. 1915.
To the Officers and Members OF the
Grangeville Commercial Club.
Gentlemen:-
I beg to submit to you for your con-
sideration my financial report Of the
receipts and disbursements for the 1915
Border Days celebration, as per the an
nexed copies attached hereto and a
part hereof.

PLAY of Last Week

"Maior Barbara" at the Playhouse,
brings Shaw 20 New York for the nrst
time this season. 1t is good Shaw, TOO
though not at the top Of his game.
Shaw does so many things inhniteIy
better than the ordinary run OF play
wrights that he may be pardoned loE
doing a few things worse.
"Major Barbara" for instance, is al
most lacking in that dramatic quality
called suspense. although it has CON
fict aplenty. 1t Is, however, brilliant
rational and appealing. More than
that, the play gives Grace George the the
best acting opportunity which she has
had this season, and she plays to nne
purpose. Conway Tesrle Is also excel
lent in a character part. We intend 70
write something about Louis Calvert
later. for he is an admirable actor and
will undoubtedly do much better than
on the first night, when he was not
sure Of some of his lines.
The play has perhaps an added In,
terest in that II discusses the ethics OF
dealing in war munitions.

substance It possesses IL due TO the ex-
cellent acting of John Drew, who ap-
pears to be in particularly good vein
this season. His performance Is a
model of ease throughout and is almost
good enough to make one forget what
perfect "tosh" is his little play from
England.
"0ur Mrs. McChesney," at the Ly-
ceum, is a dramatization Of the stories
of edna Ferber. The play is a dramatic
trifle, but il has much humor, and the
voice Of Ethel Barrymore is as appeal
ing as ever. The, humor of the play Is
bit more vital than its sentiment. 1t
is the sort of a play which will aggra-
vate all critically minded persons
nightly, but as 1t also seems TO please
in similar measure those who don't care
much about how play is put together
there is nothing for the producers
TO worry about.
