Boston, Sept P>-some five CEN
turtles ago a strange covered wagon
drew up in a square OF a small
European village, sed by a stray
Cling group Of children attracted by
its bullying sides covered with odd
markings.
One side was let down, painted
interior was disclosed, and a trumpet
announced that a performance of
interesting nature" would shortly be
given before such audience as might
throng the square.
Today a similar group of travel
ing players is doing the same thing
on the roads of New England. Start
Ing on their lark" each summer
from Madison. Conn, the past four
years, the "Jitney Players" as they
call themselves. wander the high
ways, presenting their playbills
wherever an audience gathers to be
entertained.
Many Typs
The idea is that of Bushnell
Cheney, a Yale man of the class of
1921. With him is a troupe of sew
enteen eager players. Some are col
lege graduates: others have seen
former service with the Theatre
Guild, the Neighborhood Playhouse,
the Provincetown and Gloucester
groups, or the American Laboratory
theatre.
These modern travellers have sub
stituted a motor fleet for the orig
inal show wagon. Their largest
truck, called "Jezebel," carries the
property, the canvas fence which en-
closes their out doors theatre, the
sleeping tents, cots and what not.
Personal dunnage, together with the
electrical and generating apparatus,
Is slowed in the smaller truck, whose
name is "Desdemona. because, her
driver asserts, "she needs much
choking"
Everything Carried
On arriving at willing spot, the
actors pitch their tents, and erect
khe fence as their part of the task,
and repair to make up. The stage
hands, in many instances college
undergraduates, erect the stage and
set the scenes. The two sides and
tailboard Of the truck serve as the
stage, propped on iron legs strong
enough to support dancing feet. A
roof, curtain, proscenium, wings and
a canvas sky appear almost miracu-
lousy. The electrician rigs a wire
from the little truck to a miniature
switchboard, which allows its master
to sprinkle colored light upon the
whole. There is also an arrangement
for dimming or for spot lighting.
Movable steps permit of entrances
and exits.
Versatile Truck
The actual acting is done from
many levels, the arrangement OF
steps either on or off the stage al

NOTED INDIAN SCOUT
DIES AT PRESCOTT

w. H. Wolfe, sea captain, Indian
scout and fighter, pioneer Arizona
cattleman and close friend of Buffalo
Bill, died Thursday in Prescott after
50 years passed in a life Of constant
adventure and thrilling early west
episodes He died on the hour and
day of his eldest sons birthday ami
versary, M. w. Wolfe of Tucson.
AS a commander Of an old time six
master for eight years, as an Indian
scout and fighter under General Nell
son A. Miles and General Crook, and
as one Of the biggest cattlemen Of
early Arizona, Wolfe is known in
western pioneer history.
Wolfe at one time saved the life of
Buffalo Bill when a desperate
known as "Wild Bill" was in the act
of shooting Cody in the back with a
rifle in Cheyenne. Wolfe kicked the
gun from the murderer's hands and
floored him with blow with his fist.
Born in Detroit, Mich, in 1888, he
left home at the age of IA to become
sailor on the Great Lakes. From
the lakes he went to San Francisco,
where he spent eight years sailing on
the Pacific. He captained six mas
ter that rounded Cape Horn twice
during his sea service.
From San Francisco, Wolfe moved
to Arizona to take part in the war
carried on by the government against
Geronimo, during which time Wolfe
served as a scout for the army. With
a pioneer named Coole, he built the
first cabin erected on the site of Fort
Apache, going from there in 1880 to
Fort Grant, where he established the
Fashion G. cattle ranch, the largest
of the day, 40 miles north Of Wilcox,
in Graham county.
After the drought Of 1891, in which
Wolfe lost several thousand head of
cattle, the family moved to Prescott.
The deceased is survived by two
sons and three daughters, all Of
whom are Itw living in Arizona. The
eldest son, W. W. Wolfe, of Tucson,
is first vice-president Of the Arizona
Federation OF Labor. Another son,
Ray Wolfe, lives in Clarkdale. The
daughters are Mrs. Minnie Cassell of
Fossil Greek, Mrs. II. Harland of
Prescott and Mrs. Gus Carbaiana of
Phoenix.

ed large birthday cake occupying
the center Of the stage.
. There followed a group Of exercises
by the local school children including
the singing of song dedicated to
Tie III. y. ana Il su0IlOIStIdLlOn VI
the physical culture exercises in
which the children are trained. This
was particularly appropriate in that
the piano, phonograph and records
used in connection with these activi-
ties in the school room were purchas-
ed for the school by the association.
The stage decorated with small
evergreen trees, a tent and camp fire
made an effective setting for a sketch
given by the local group of Camp Fire
girls, which organization was sDon-
sored bv the Grand Canyon PIT. a.
This included a number of songs by
the girls in their picturesque Indian
costumes and the ceremony of in
vesting two Of the girls with honor
