Company Proves Ability With Rollicking Production of Broadway Jones" Last Night; Comedy Characters Good.

Broadway Jones'" the rollicking Conan and Harris success. presented last night at the Orpheum theatre by Albert Taylor and company, proved one of the best comedies ever produc ed here by a stock company. Taylor in the leading role, kept the audience in a perfect gale of laughter with his characterization of Broadway Jones" whose principle troubles are money. women and debts. Jack Benson. as Bob Wallace" was good. his laugh always provoking a responding laugh from the audience. Benson is one of the few actors who can get real en- iOyment out of a stage laugh and put it over without it sounding forced. Jack Mahon in the leading comedy character part, Sam Spotwood, put up some of the best comedy acting seen here in many moons, and made a great .leal of a really minor part
 Miss Myrtle Hollingsworth was a charming Jose Richards, and Broad way Jones" could not be blamed for proposing to her after an acquaint- ance of but a few days. James Will yliams, Phil and Garlic Hoelan, Rich ard Lancaster, Lloyd Carrell. Miss Norma Morris and Miss Mary Barry, supporting Mir. Taylor and Miss Hol- lingsworth all did excellent Any company that can produce a comedy like Broadway Jones" was put on last night by the Taylor players, should be good enough for the most critical theatre fan.

Last night Allison stat ed that the present force was capable of handling the situation. He declar- ed. however, that he intended to line up about ten men, give them special commissions and make all arrange ments to call them into immediate service in case of emergency. This plan was approved by the council.
 The city dads last night accepted the two fire trucks, completely satis- fled with the tests that have been con ducted during the last few days, and Chief Barney will probably put the two machines into service this morn ing. One will be placed in the Tomb stone Canyon fire station and the oth- CT in the city hall station.
