With the evident intent of fixing on
the tng for all time that fast dis-ai-pearing,
if not extinct and wholly
V letnresque type of being, the Ameri
jin cowpuncher, Mr. Willard Mack,
the author "of "In Wyoming," which
wilt appear this evening at the Astoria t
theatre, has given in "Bob Riakards"
. character study that seems to have
mtisfied all demands of facny regard
ing our western range rider. The
hero, although born in Pennsylvania,
has lived years in Wyoming and Is in
perfect sympathy with ? the peculiar
manifestations of civilisation that ob
tained in that region during the "7V$"
and "SW, when cattle raising was
the only business, cattle stealing the
only crime and lynching the only evi
dence of order.
"Everything that could tend to lend
atmosphere to the play has been care
fully attended to. The scenery is
faithful reproduction of the Dalby
Ranch, with the Big Horn range of
mountain, in the distance and cactus
drown plain in the foreground and
the ranch house situated in the midst
of this desert.
The newspaper world .nd the pub
lic who have witnessed "In Wyo
Piing" claim that it is the truest and
best exposition of western life yet
civen to the stage and predict that It
will live .long with "The 014 Home
stead." wWy Down East" "In Old
Kentucky," and other play, of this
character, whose sort, though prob
ably not dramatic teems to hold the
ultention of the public year after year
by their reality and simplicity.
