ChlUNCEY OLC0TT
IN 'MACUSHLA' IS
ROYALTY RECEIVED
Famous Impersonator of Irish
Character Welcomed in
Clever Play in First of Two
Engagements at Pinney.

Chauncey Olcott needed no intro
duction to the large audience that well
coined him back to Boise in a return
engagement at the Pinney theatre on
Monday evening in a two night en-
gagement of "Macushla." Everyone
there felt they knew him intimately
and If the truth were told, that is the
way Mr.. Olcott felt also. Indeed the
friendship was so mutual that this
famous interpreter of Irish character
and drama very graciously appeared
in person to thank his admirers and
To sing the songs they called for. He
has lost none of his stage charm and
by his singing and acting Monday ev-
eI.ing demonstrated he still possesses
a voice of rare, sweet quality and is
Just as clever an actor as ever.
HAS STRONG SUPPORT
The audience thoroughly enjoyed
"Macushla," story adapted to the
stage to show how a democratic Irish
earl saved the estate of his forefathers
by stalking everything on the one prize
horse left in the paddocks, in steeple
race. Irish comedy and Irish wit ripple
over the lines and Mr.. Olcott makes
them dear to the heart OF an Irishman
by his frequent songs. One of the
more eminent actors of the American
stage, Mr.. Olcott has surrounded him
self with strong company, giving
balance together with smoothness that
alone comes from good acting. The
stable boy is called upon to carry one
of the strongest leads and John Hamil
ton as "Dinny O'Mara the 'ostler" takes
the part with great credit to himself.
Josie Claflin as Mrs. Boyer" is an
other strong lead in the cast. Madge
West as Patricia Boyer her daugh
ter, the future wife of "Sir Brian Fitz-
gerald" (Chauncey Olcott) is clever and
fitting stage partner to the irresis-
tihle Sir Brian, Leo Stark, the villain
Warren Fairchild, John Todd as
Sandy McNab,' the overseer, j. Ar
Thomas Wisgins,' Joe Kennedy as
thur O'Brien as "Dawkins.' the jockey,
Nellie Strong as "Gwendolyn Fair
child" Grace Garfield as Lady Doro-
thy Hammond" and James Marr, a
bookmaker, make up the balance Of the
cast.
STORY OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
Madge West is particularly attrac-
tive as the Tomboy of the play. the
pal" of Sir Brian, familiarly known
as Pat" Her strongest scene is
brought about by her pathetic descrip-
tion of what will happen to Sir Brian
after his marriage. Throughout the
play Sandy McNab becames the canny
Scotchman, never OVERRIDING his part.
but demonstrating that there is no
TOOL like an old fool"
The play is interviewer with the story
OF close friendship that gradually, and
uuconsciously TO the principals, grows
into a deep and lasting love; of the
tempter and the tempted and the broad
spirit of forgiveness which saved q
man from disgrace because he was
given chance to again redeem him
self and make good. 1t is so cleverly
written that Olcott's songs spring into
life almost on the impulse, just when
singing would be looked for as the most
expressive thing to do The name is
taken from the famous race horse own
ed by Sir Brian, "Macushla.'
Mr.. Olcott and his company will re-
peat 'Macushla' for the second and
last time tonight

KiZby Can Already Look Back on Important Work Donein Few Short Weeks
Harmony With Legislature Indicated by His Approval of Every Measure Passed Except One-lnterestipg
 Speculation Regarding Next Session
px WILLIAM l.. GORMLEY

Montgomery, March l. (speciaD Standing on a platform in front of the state house little more than month ago, Thomas E. Kilby of Anniston told hundreds of men and women who had gathered to see him take the oath of office as governor of Alabama that he would insist upon the enactment of cer- tain laws which would place his state in the forefront along with other states, that he would insist upon enactment of laws which would benefit directly the people.
 Now Thomas E. Kilby, the governor, looks back upon that day of promises with a great deal of pleasure, because he has been able to carry out those promises. There are upon the statute books of the state today scores of bills of the progressive variety; many of them are known as administration meas ures and many of them the governor promised to have enacted with the as- sstance of his friends in the two houses.
 Alabama in a very short time will see the state board of control and economy. The governor is impressed with the name of the board. While the board is in "ccntrol' the governor feels sure it will practice economy and will get away from the haphazard manner of spending state funds because there happens to be money in the treasury The state board of control and economy is charged with

This is the dream of the governor; he thought Of this probably when he promised to sug- gest the enactment of money saving boards"
 APPROVED ALL BUT ONE
 That senators and representatives had the same idea as to what is a good bill is shown in the willingness of Governor Kilby to approve all but one bill sent to his desk That bill, vetoed by Mir. Kilby. would have done away with progress sive step taken by the state years ago; that of showing the farmers how to prop erly till the soil. MT. Faulk of Geneva would have abolished the office Of farm demonstrator of his county. The bill got by the two houses, but MT. kilby sent brief note to the house, explaining the defects and saying farm demonstration work in that county was essential MT. Faulk made a speech in favor of the bill, hoping to have it enacted over MT. kilby' s veto. The measure died by large ma jority in the house.
 One hundred and eighty-two bills and resolutions, the big majority of course originating in the house, were on the desk for the approval of the governor when the legislature adjourned for sev-
