In A NEW ROLE.
How Women are Crowding Men out of
Positions This one is Theatrical
Advance Agent.

A young woman, travelling as
advance agent for a theatrical com
pany invaded Corvallis Saturday,
and thereby afforded illustration Of
how woman is crowding the stern
er sex out of positions of which he
was formerly the sole guardian.
She was Miss Florence L. Newman
who came as the advance agent of
The Bonnie Brief Bush" COM
pany, which appears in the Opera
House Thursday evening. She is
from New York City with head
quarters at the Knickerbocker, the
base of operations for almost an
infinite number of travelling com
panies. She is 2o years of age and
has been travelling six years as an
advance agent. She is very
slightly person, we'll dressed and
according to the statement OF local
people was we'll able to drive a
good bargain for. the people She
represents. ....-
| She travels about a week ahead
of her company, and .arranges the
preliminaries as to hotel accommo-
datious, transportation details, bag
gase contracts. bill posting. and
kindred duties The loneliness of
the life, throwing her constantly a
stranger among strangers, is her
chief objection to the business, but
/ this she says is atoned for by the:
fact that it gives her remunerative:
and easy employment and wide
| range of travel. . She was in Cor
Wallis day, leaving forAlbany on
I the evening train. In time, it
seems as if women will hold posi-
tions in every walk of life, barring
of course those in which physical
phase is largely involved She is
I fast demonstrating that she has the
scapacity, and that Is what the en-
4 ployer is looking for.
1.-The Bonnie Brier Bush which
Miss Newman represents, is a New
York organization with a play
dramatized from the well known
took of.the same name, Augustus
Thomas. one of the greatest play
wrights in America being one of
I the dramatists. 1t is drama much
latter the order of Kerry Cow"
which was recently produced at the
Opera House with such satisfact-
ory results.
Manager Groves had to give a
big guarantee in order to secure
the attraction. +.-@Gs

The lack of attendance on the
part of:the facultyof OAC at the
recent State Oratorical contest was
the occasion of much criticism. All
other colleges were represe nted by
one or more of their facility. but
not one was In attendance from
OAC fact, that the people abroad
comment upon. Of course the dis
tance of the contest from home
might have had something to do
with this, but,the writer had Ioc-
casion to observe that last year
when the contest was held almost
at our door the members OF the
faculty who are looked to, to take
more or less interest In this depart
,ment of college activities was not
in evidence. Many ideas could be
gained that the professor could
suggest to future aspirantsI for
forensic fame frou OAC. One
never gains much by remaining
/ within ones own little circle. The
man or woman who does the most
good is the one who associates with
| others and from their experiences
invokes new ideas into his or her
own methods.
These remarks are not intended
for the faculty as a whole, because
| there are some who are not expect
ed to keep in touch with this branch
Of work, had they the time. It /:
to be hoped that hereafter more
of the faculty who are in to1cl
with this branch Of work may be
seen at these gatherings.
