NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-"Salome" is
given thorough going over by Marie
Cahill, the actress. in letters which she
has mailed TO the chairman of the Re-
publican and Democratic State commit
tees, and Ia which she suggests the
creation Of a commission with powers
of censorship over the stage in New
York state.
Miss Cahill considers the recent "Sa-
lone" frenzy as conclusive that some
people and most Of the vaudeville man
ayers need the judgment of men Of dis
erection 10 dictate what may and may
not be seen in the theaters, and has
gone TO the extent of sending letters
TO President Roosevelt and prominent
politicians Of both parties urging them
TO help her . having resolutions passed
by the Sta e conventions favOring such
legislation.
In addition D the President. Chairmen
Woodruff and Conaers, she has written
to the Vice Presidential candidates,
Sherman and Kern. National Chairmen
Mack and Hitchcock. and Leader Muir
ply, Of Tarnmany Hail.
Miss Cahill says that she was de-
termined to push the issue 10 a finish.
and that she was already assured that
resolutions Incorporating her Ideas will
be offered at both state conventions
when they convene.
In her letters 10 the two State chair
men she makes a frank attack of
the vaudeville managers for allowing
''Salome" TO be done, declares that they
have thrown discretion to the winds and
have forfeited the privilege of judging
what he youth OF the country may be
permit ed 10 see. She chaTacterizes the
''Salome" dances as such theatrical
offerings as clothe pernicious subjects in
q boasted artistic atmosphere. but which
are really an excuse for the most vuIl ar
exhibition that this country has ever
been called upon TO tolerate"
Miss Cahill's Letter.
Miss Cahill expressed herself as hope
full that they would agree with her and
lend a hand to bring about the cen
sorship.

lows:
Dear sir:
