Hunting Dogs Near Hardin Next Autumn
Midlond Empire
Club to q
Most Of Arrangements

At a meeting held Friday
evening, the Big Horn County
Chamber of Commerce recided
to give all possible cooperation
to the Midland Empire Field
Trial club in holding a field
trial for dogs here this fall.
Dir. GreWell and Sherman Co
wan of Billings were speakers
and explained just what a field
trial is, its aims and detectives
and how the Chamber of Com
merce could assist.
The principal interest of the
club is the. conservation and
propagation Of birds, it was
stated. No birds are killed dur
ing a field trial. ~.
Hardin has one of the best
sites for such a trial, with plen-
ty of space and ample birds,
Dr.. Grewell said. The trial
would last between three and
four days, depending on the
number of entries, and a $1,0D
guaranteed stake will be offered
for the professionals in the
competition.
There are about 200 profess
SIGNALS in the nation, each with
20 to 35 dogs. The trials would
be open to both professionals
and amateurs.
A field marshall and a fire
marshall will be on hand at
all times to see that all rules
and regulations are carried out.
The club will take care of all
advertising and publicity, It
was stated.
The speakers said between 40
and IS horses would be needed
and asked the Chamber Of
Commerce to assist in securing
these through the Ridin' and
Ropin' club and from rancherS
of the vicinity. The, Chamber
was also asked to make ar
fragments for lunches. There
would be no expense to the
local group holding the trials
It was the opinion of both
the visitors that once a trial
is held here, it viii become an.
annual affair if the people OF
Hardin want 1t.

Morrison's body was in a

He had been with his father,
Alec Morrison, who is ,caretaker
of the Crow herd of buffalo,
high in the Big Horns. The
younger Morrison came to Har-
din to get supplies, and was
last seen here.
The body was badly decom-

We have seen no signs of

Some time ago We took a look
at our basement, held our head
in horror and decided the best
thing to do was just to take a
shovel and pitch all the brok-
en-, battered, ,out-groWn and
worn toys out the window and
burn them. On soberer second
thought, it occurred to us that
if there were just somewhere
we could send some of these
toys to be repaired, they would
furnish a great deal of pleasure
for other young fry.
A friend of ours had heard
that the state penitentiary re
pairs toys and distributes them
to orphanageS at Christmas
time, so she wrote there for us,
and we found that the prison.

More than 5000 toys were
sent out last Christmas, we
were informed.
The prison has no funds
available for paying tranSporta-
ton charges on toys. In many
Montana towns there are Spon-
Soring bodies who gather brok-
en- and out-grown toys and
ship them to the penitentiary.
Individuals may, of course ship
toys to the prison also.
We think it might be an idea
to keep in mind the next time
too many toys give you a
headache-and we know many
mothers do have this problem.

We wonder if there is any
organization in Hardin who
would be willing to sponsor the
project. There is no sponsor

we think individuals might

creatures make a grace of love, but
they never fail it make it clear that
love is the thing they are driving at.
Aherne and his colleagues who
are bent upon Broadway in the au-
tumn make merrily bold with "Beaux
Stratagem." Their production of the
play should teach more of Restora-
ton comedy than has been learned
IN claSsrooms in the last decade. 1t
is a subject taught far better with
an actors leer and an actresses lure
than with all the scholarship OF the
ablest classroom lecturer.
X X
In writing in such a way as to
give moderns the feeling they were
born $50 years too late, Farquhar
creates an unforgettabfy robust pic
ture of his time. 1t was a period
In which elegant manners made
beautiful masks for morals that were
abruptly limited, when the main
concern was amour and correlative
was enough money to support its
practitioners in suitable leisure and
luxury.
On the theory that contemporary
headlines have kept every one from
reading "Beaux Stratagem" for the
last fortnight. or longer, 1t should
be recalled that it is the comedy
about Archer, Aimwell, Mrs. Sul.en,
Lady Bountiful, Bonniface, the inn
keeper, etc.
The two Of these for whom the
playwright had the greatest fond
ness, and keen it was of him, were
Archer (Aherne) and Mrs. Sullen
(Miss Mathews. One was a gen.
tleman and the other a lady. and
both used the English language as
II 1t were a great music, but what
they made 1t say was not what 1t
seemed to be saying.
Archer, dressed as a footman, and
his companion, Aimwell, dressed as
a lord, are in Litchfield out of Lon
don for the purpose of marrying
beauty and money before their last
200 pounds are exhausted. As q
pair of fast workers should, they
are soon in the aura of Mrs. Sullen
"a beauty married to a beast
Evening star., 1948-09-01

and Dorinda, daughter Of Lady
Bountiful. Moreover, Just in case
anything goes wrong, Archer has a
saucy mink stored away back at
the Litchf1eld Inn, the ripening
daughter Of the landlord who acts
as cashier for a band of local high
waymen. This gives her custody
of 1000 pounds which is not much,
but worth at least a second thought
on the part of the master strategist,
Archer.
These five highly energized char
acters provide the essential action
'of "Beaux Stratagem," but Farqu-
har Is a generous man in tossing
in incidental creatures when he
thinks Of an additional jest to make
his comedy even livelier.
***
AS Farquhar's principal spokes-
man and strategist, Aherne has one
Of the richest roles an actor has
played at Olney all summer. Love
and money are equal interests in
his life, but the latter Is the part
of his obsession that he can aban-
don most readily in an emergency
His concern with the two takes him
through scene after scene of COM
edy whose language is high even
when its essence is low.
1t is not until the second act
that he comes within the domain
of lively Mrs. Sullen, but the delay
is amply filled with his tentative
courtship Of the inn-keeper's daugh-
ter, especially when he leads her
through the catechism Of love. His
best scenes, however, are those he
plays with Miss Mathews as Mrs.
Sullen, woman every bit as agile
as he in the art of romance.
Until Miss Mathews came along
fittingly enough in the Olney's final
week-the wise-woman-in- n-love hon.
ors belonged to Haila Stoddard as
Alkmena in "Amphytryon 49," The
standings will now have to be re-
vised.
Aherne, as director Of ''Beaux
Stratagem," has chosen well and
coached wisely among such other
players as Patricia jenkins, the
beautiful Dorinda who sheds naivete
like a cloak; John Merivale as the
dutiful co-romancer Aimwell; Rich
ard Temple as Bonniface the inn
keeper; Maureen Stapleton as the
saucy wench at the inn; Victor Bee
croft as Scrub, the Sullen's servant;
and Mary Forbes as Lady Bounti-
full.
