The fact that a city like Salem has

A call has been issued for a special
state convention OF the Ancient Order OF

The calling OF the convention is due TO

IMPERIAL THEATRE.

n. Z. FORESTER presents "No Wedding
Bells for Her." melodrama by Theodore
Kremer, author Of the Fatal wedding
and other successes. at the Imperial thea
tire the present week There was q very
large Monday evening audience at this
popular theatre last evening TO give this
new effort OF Mr.. Kremer's an entnusfas-
tic welcome.
Judged by the most popular standard
the reception OF play by the house mo
Wedding Bells for Her" Is bound to be
thrilling success. There are plays that
will give some theatregoers more pleas
ure than this one but the majority VIII
certainly enjoy the intense earnestness or
the plot and language. All the strong
points were quickly noticed by the au-
dience and the audience insisted con-
stantly on expressing It's pleasure.
Too much cannot be said about the
strength OF the play. II Is chock full of In
cidents that have pretty deep heart inter-
est. Though there are amusing characters
I'm plenty and things come out nearly
right the play has a sable sombernsss
that while II will not detract from It's
popularity will cause some who see II to
wish at times that the playwrights
touch was lighter.
The villainy in the play is about as
strong a kind as one could ask for even
I'm melodrama and it's painted in big
black streaks. There are good folks In the
play but they are minor very minor fac
tors. Still OF course justice triumphs In
the end.
Mr.. Frank Rolleston plays the part OF
the villain He has fine stage presence
and the eoolness with which he does the
real bad work must make him the very
ideal actor TO Mr.. Kremer. Charles Mack
lin plays the opposite part as the lover

cellent. Few will dispute that Mr..
