GIVEN AT PHOENIX IN FAIR WEEK

Mrs. j. B. Erdlets of New York,
London and other centers of culture,

ing on a drama pageant based on the
life of Billy the Kid, notorious out
law, who once terrorized many Sec
tions of the west. The drama pa
geant is to be presented at Echo
Canyon Bowl, Phoenix, during state
fair week, November 10.
Mrs. ErdIets is staying at the home
of jim East, former chief of police
here. who is credited with knowing
the kid and his history better than
any other man in the state. 1t Was
East, also, who arrested the nationally
known crook.
The first part Of the pageant is
now forming under Mrs. Erdlets' pen
and she plans to complete most of the
first draft of the production before
July /, when she will leave for Cali
fornia. She plans to return to Phoe-
nix about September and from that
time until November 10 will be at
Casa Grande and the capital city.
She also will help direct the historical
pageant at the Casa Grande Ruins,
November 6, 7 and 8.
Mrs. ErdletS is enthusiastic regard
ing the good for Arizona that will
be accomplished by the pageantS to
be staged at the Casa Grande Ruins
and at Echo Canyon Bowl. These
pageants, which will be among the
largest and most imposing in the en-
tire United States, will bring many
eastern and northern visitors to Ari-
zona, Mrs. ErdletS believes. Once
here and realizing the wonderful VIM
ter climate of this country, she be-
lieves many will remain and again
return.
Mrs. Catherine MacRae of New

rhythmic dancing for both the Casa
Grande and Billy the Kid produc-
tions and will handle the lighting for
the former. Mrs. Simon Heineman
OF Tucson will also work on the pro-
duction of the drama, taking charge
OF the music which will be specially
written by Mr.. Davies of New York.
In Phoenix last week the Pioneer
Historical society gathered and map
ped out four years of work for itself,
profiting by the errors made in last
years initial presentation of an
American pageant. The Casa Grande
pageant date has been set for No
venber 5, 6 and z.
Miss Vivian has a long record OF
interesting experiences in dramatic
production work and for 20 years has

have a profound respect for boys.
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in the
street often attract me strangely.
A boy is a man in the cocoon
you do not know what it is going to
become-his life is big with many
possibilities.
He may make or unmake kings,
change boundary lines between
states, write books that will mold
characters, or invent machines that
will revolutionize the commerce of
the world.
Every man was once a boy. trust
shall not be contradicted; it is
really so.
Very distinctly and vividly 1 re-
member a slim, freckled boy, who
was born in the Patch" and used
to pick up coal along the railroad
tracks in Buffalo. A few months ago
l had a motion to make before the
Supreme Court, and the boy from
the Patch" was the judge who
wrote the opinion granting my petit
ton.
Yesterday I rode horseback past a
field where boy was plowing. The
lads hair stuck out through the top
of his hat; his form was bony and
awkward; one suspender held his
trousers in place; his bare legs and
arms were brown and sunburned
and briar-scarred.
He swung his horses around just
as I passed by, and from under the
Tapping brim of his hat he cast a
quick glance out of the dark, half
bashful eyes and modestly returned
my salute. His back turned, took
off my hat and sent a GOd-bless-you
down the furrow after him. Who
knows p may go to that boy to bor-
row money, or to hear him preach,
or to beg him to defend me in a law
suit; or he may stand with pulse un-
hastened, bare of arm, in white ap-
ron, ready to do his duty, while the
cone is placed over my face, and
Night and Death come creeping into
my veins.
Be patient with the boys-you are
dealing with soulstuff. Destiny
awaits just around the corner. Be
patient with the boys!-Elbert Hub
