Burlington, Nov. 12.-People were talking here yesterday of the cool ness and nerve" shown by Adam Smith when his pool room was in- vaded early this morning by two masked robbers armed with auto matics. But Smith insists it would have been a different story if he had not thought the men were play ing joke on him.
 The bandits had entered and backed five patrons against the wall before Smith realized what had happened.
 "What're you trying to do, kid us?' he laughed.
 One of the robbers answered with threat to shoot him.

 An Arizona COW puncher who says "Doggone" goes to England to sell a herd of horses to the British gov ernment. While in London he sees a pretty American girl and. against the wishes of her aunt and uncle, trails her all over the continent. In desperation, the aunt and uncle ac- cept an invitation to go to visit Fl Dorado, a small country. having been told by the chancellor of that country that the obnoxious cowman 1 couldn't get passports and they could thus escape him.
 But events are transpiring rapidly | in Fl Dorado. Juan TX, the king, IS dead and the dynasty is expiring Then it is learned that the COW puncher, Johnny North. is really Juan Norte, grandson of the founder of the Norte dynasty. He goes from Nice, where the story opens, to Fl Dorado to become king and the center of intrigue. In cowboy fashion he disposes of court etiquette, out wits the court conspirators and stamps out a revolution by creating a republic. Of course he marries the girl.
 Around this story "Howdy King, " which is playing at Parsons theater for the first half of the week. is written. The author is Mark Swan and the comedy is produced by Anne Nichols, author of "Abie's Irish Rose"
 The cast is well balanced and all creditably portray the characters as- signed to them. The choice of Minor Watson for the lead is a happy one. He gives very true picture of the broncho buster from Arizona. Others whose work is of an outstanding na- ture are Byron Beasley. Lorna FL liott Douglas MacPherson, Frank Otto, G. Davison Clark and David Leonard.
 "Howdy King" is light entertain ment with plenty of occasions for laughter The first night audience last evening enjoyed it immensely. It might be improved by elimination of some of the dialog because in it's l present form it is too long.
