The "tirst weekers' at the theatre have been well pleased with Manager Wilcox opening sheW, or course Henry Morse and company in "l nc!e Seth and the Hoodoo' was the head line attraction. One might think tbat an audience of friends and aequain- lances would go to the show ready to praise everything they saw. Any ac- tor will tell you this ts not so and that they would rather play toany audience in the world than that in their home town. The home crowd come ready 10 take advantage of every weak spot in the piece and every slip Of the actor and are the harsheSt most eN acting and outspoken lot of critics that the actor runs up against. II IL Is eNer hard for an actor to make good it Is among his own people So when Mir. Morse and his company went up against this pro position al the Lake this week and came out with success written all over their efforts they have reason to feel more pleased than the success would call for before an ordinary audience. Their vehicle has been overhauled and toned up So that it is running much more smoothly than when produced here soon after it's creation. It has de- Neloped into one of the cleanest, best and funniest bits Of comedy playing in in vaudeville, There has been conlinu. ous laughter and applause al each production and that is what the sketch was built to produce. Mir. Morse's new song, "The Lighthouse Bell'' was well received. Miss Olive Alberta wa, pleasing in her songs and dances whied were cleverly and gracefully done. She carrys big share of responsibility in making the piece go. With Mrs. Morse and Miss Alberta, uuele Seth is ably supported. A black face act, & gir with s good voice and Moving Piet urcs fills out the bill.

The interviewer

Complaint having been made against
a newspaper that its reporters or in
reviewers did not correctly quote the
party aggrieved. the paper says, among
other things:
1T is a habit in certain quarters to
question on all occasions the truthful
ness of newspaper reports and those
who write them. The country is ia
maliar With the spectacle of the public
parsonage, caught in the tangle of his
own indiscretion of speech, taking
refuge in the conventional claim of
m IS re presentation. In truth, in all but
the rarest instances, interviews and re-
ports are accurate. An interviewer or
reporter is specially trained to observe
closely, to remember precisely and TO
reproduce fairly that which he hears.
He is a specialist in accuracy, and
while he makes mis- takes in common
with all other men, the chances of err
ror while he is working in his own par
ticular line, are small"
Not only is the reporter specialist
| in the matter of observation and ac-
curacy, but he takes great pride in his
ability TO be accurate. The Inaccurate
reporter does not last long; 1t is a
weakness and the reporter knows ii,
and unless ii can be overcome there is
no place in the newspaper office for
| him.
In their eagerness to build up good
story. the newspaper reporter of oths

days was likely to exaggerate. or even
to wilfully misrepresent but that does
not prevail today. Every reporter
knows that the best story is the true
story.
The trouble is. a great many people
make statements which they are afraid
of when they see them in cold print.
Or, when the statement Is printed it
may not sound exactly as the speaker
intended it to sound. it may in a sense,
convey a different meaning. But that
is not the reporters fault.
If the newspaper were soaking to
make trouble for the average public
man it would not have to distort any
thing he says or misquote him. It
could tell the truth and ruin him quite
successfully. For there is not one man
in a thousand who does not make re-
marks that he would not have put into
type and generally circulated And
therein lies a difference in reporters.
The really valuable reporter does not
have to be told what is intended for
publication and what is not. He knows
intuitively what man would not want
printed. Every reporter who inter-
views a public man hears a great deal
which he knows Is not intended for
publication, and very rev OF them in
deed attempt to get into print that part
of a mans conversation which he does
not desire printed. Men long in pub
lie life understand all of that; hence
there is less complaint from the ex-
perienced man In public than there is
from the would be or near-great; they
are the fellows who seek to hide their
shortcomings under the stereotyped al
legation that won can't believe what
you see in the papers"
