NATIONAL-"The Beaux Stratagem."
Seven years ago The Players, ultra
conservative club of actors and kindred
artists, decided to break the placid
routine of the organization of some 40
years standing and show the Broadway
producers how well group of actors
could stage their own productions.
Francis Wilson, the great comedy star,
who had served on the board OF direc-
tors for many years since the club was
founded by Edwin Booth, was the NOV
ing spirit in the enterprise. In the
library of the clubhouse on the south
side of Grammercy Park, New York, he
laid the plans which have blosSomed in
the present production of "The Beaux'
Stratagem" which comes to the Nation
al Theater next week. beginning De-
cember II.
OF the seven classics which The Play
erS have presented in annual succession
for one week, George Farquhar's fa-
nous comedy of eighteenth century
gallantry, "The BeauX' Stratagem," it
is declared, has been by all odds the
most successful, although Richard
Brinsley Sherikan's famous comedies.
"The Rivals" and "The School for
Scandal" were presented the first two
years: in 1924. the club gave "She
Stoops to Conquer" in the following
year Pineros "Trelawney Of the Wells"
and then turning to Shakespeare, the
first part of Henry W. and Julius
Caesar" in 1925 and 1927, respectively.
THE Beaux Stratagem" financial
success was not even marred by the
fact that is was the most expensive
production Of the whole series. In no
small measure its popularity was prob
ably due to its distinctly modern and
progressive point of view which Far
quhar had assumed two centuries be-
fore our day. There Is clear antici-
pating OF the modern attitude toward
marriage In his separation of an un-
happily married couple through mutual
consent.

and Glenn t. Smith. of the district for
estry office at Missoula, met with the

gett of Hill county, c. H. Wilson of VAL
ley county, A. w. Warden of Roosevelt

In connection with the meeting Mr..
Lantz arranged q our to the grazing
areas south OF Malta and to the eastern
end of the Jefferson national forest to
study such questions as open range VS..
fenced range, soil types and the grasses
and carrying capacity of each, practical
winter feeds and summer pasture crops
and flood irrigation systems. A visit also
was made to the Matador ranch.

the private flood water irrigation systems
established on many farms and ranches
in this part of Phillips county. Through
the use OF natural depressions and the
construction of ank and dykes many
farmers have constructed serviceable ir-
rigation works at low cost. Spring flood
waters which otherwise would run off and
be lost are impounded and used later in
the season for lrrigating crops and pas
lures.
