Mr and Mrs Frank E. Shay, who
came out last spring from Pennsyl
vania ana bought the James Robison
80 acres two miles south of Pfost
station, left this week for the coast.
They will later go to Los Angeles.but
will probably return to Idaho next
spring. Mr. Shay bought the Robison
farm for $10,000 and sold for
$16,000 with crop. As the crop was
valued at $2,000 he cleaned up at
least $3,000 for his summer's invest
ment. This is pretty good, but is the
same as many have done this season.

UNIQUE EQUIPMENT
USED IN BIG PLAY
low
of
a
America's leading player—Guy
Bates Post; the most celebrated play
of the decade "The Masquerader"—
these comprise a combination never
before equalled in theatricals in
Boise. The engagement will begin
Monday, Nov. 17th, and last two days
at the Plnney theatre.
This much talked about season's
best offering— with the original cast
and production, revolving stages,
triple electrical equipment, thematic
music, and nine ponderous, pulsating
scenes, is commented on by a leading
critic of Boston to the extent of two
columns.
Among other things he says:- "Guy
Bates Post kept a capacity audience
thrilling in response to the clever un
folding of the story of the substitu
tion of John Loder for his cousin,
the dissolute John Chilcote, at a time
when England stood sorely in neec
of the brilliant statesman, who had
become a hopeless drug addict. The
duel role of Mr. Post presents the
best character study ever seen, on a
Boston stage."
