The time was when Westland had
been a first-class theatrical town
and most of the good road shows
had played it. But conditions had
changed. Chicago was only a few
hours away, picture palaces had
been built, and now the old West
Theatre, the city's leading play
house ran a stock company. 1t was
"a good stock company, however;
Amos Ethridge, the owner of the
property, had prided himself upon
being a patron of the drama and
he had seen to that; in conse-
quence a number of well-known
artists were usually featured upon
the Vests billing. This season the
most popular, if not actually the
most prominent, member of the
Etheridge players was Hazel Woods,
the youthful leading woman. Mr..
Ethridge had hired her out of a
New York dramatic success and
Westland considered itself for
innate in having a real Broadway
favorite to worship.
Stock engagements in small
cities like Westland are often
both profitable and pleasant, for
salaries are good, the players form
new friendships, they enjoy an
agreeable social life, and receive
numerous coprtesies and ad-
vantages not infrequently denied
them in larger cities. In Miss
Woods case, for instance, Ethridge
had put a charming little house at
her disposal, rent free, there be-
ing no really first-class residential
hotel in Westland; and there she
reveled in the unfamiliar joys of
housekeeping and entertained as
much as her arduous duties, very
sprightly young woman, she had
quickly made herself popular.
Through Amos Ethridge she had
met Gerald Holmes. She and
