is masked young woman, who ap-
pears in the initial act of the latest
Gus Hill creation, Gus Hills Fol-
lies" which is to be at the attraction
at the Boyd theater today for four
days. The identity of this young
woman is a secret. Not even Mr..
Hill himself knows her name. She
came to him one day as an applicant
for position. She insisted that she
must wear mask throughout the
performance. Mr.. Hill devised
situation to meet her demands. At
the opening OF the Follies, a woman
comes forward and announces to the
audience the various features, that
follow in rapid sequence. The new
offering is a combination of farce,
extravaganza, musical comedy, sa-
tire, drama, travesty and opera
blended in such manner so as to
meet the taste of the most sensitive
palate. The cast is large one and
the action spirited from curtain to
curtain. Matinee as usual today and
