SPLENDID
PLAYS AT
The GRAND
THE CLIMAX" LAST NIGHT DE-
LIGHTED EVERYBODY-"THE
"MAN OF THE HOUR" TONIGHT,
ANOTHER GREAT PLAY.

"The Climax" which held the
boards at the Grand last night, was
splendid play, splendidly played.
The company is an unusually well
balanced one, giving the presenta-
ton Of an artistlcally constructed
play living realty. The conception
Of the characters, the diagnosis, so
TO speak was perfect, and the parts
were presented to the audience liv-
ing, breathing human characters with
human weakness, and everyday,
common human attributes. The man
agement Is to be compllmented and
commended for furnishing such a
high class Of plays as those presented
this season. They are clean, moral,
strong, instructive, entertaining and
uplifting. Instead of being looked
upon as a means of evil, the stage is
now considered as the means by
which clean morals and higher and
purer living may be taught.
The audience last night was not
half what it should have been, for
Salem must remember that If it is to
have good plays and good actors it
must furnish good houses. The Man
of the Hour" here tonight, is anoth-
er splendid play, and so is the
"squaw Man" here Monday, though
its title is rather against IT, It is,
however, play clean, moral, healthy
In tone, of intense interest and
thrilling situations Both of them
should play to crowded chairs

The Survey for November.


A picture of a strangely prevalent
and simultaneous movement Of the
people throughout the whole working
world to affect through a construc-
tive plan of legislation an improve
ment in the standard of living con-
ditions is presented in this number
of The Survey by Prof. Graham
Taylor. Nearly a century and
quarter ago an English farmer, Ar
thur Young, spent three years study
ing agricultural methods in France,
which he naiyely describes in his
Travels. Incidentally he discloses
the rapidly rising spirit of discomfort
that broke out shortly thereafter
with such destructive force. Profes-
sor Taylor's article makes one won
der what modern Arthur Young
would find in this half consciously
concerted, yet leaderless movement,
which seems to be agitating the peo-
pies of all the countries abroad
DR.. Thomas W. Salmon tells story
of how American charity has fur
nished a sea-going hospital for the
fishermen of Labrador and New
foundland, though our own Ameri-
can deep-sea fishermen, while at
sea, are dependent upon French
charity for medical treatment fur
nished by the st. Francois d'Assise
which comes to the Grand Banks ev-
cry summer. He makes a plea that
the United States government should
provide a hospital ship for our deep
sea fishermen on the banks. Illinois
Boosting for Safety, by John A.
Fitch, is an inspiring account of how
the management of the Illinois Steel
company, which operates some of
the most enormous steel plants of
the country, has been inoculated
from top to bottom so that every
man insttnctiYely thinks or the ways
in which human life in a dangerous
calling can be saved. A Man-Made
Flood, which tells the story of Aus
tin, shows a town which had been
warned and felt that its physical ex-
istence was in danger, was so satur-
ated with dependence upon an out
side power, from which it drew it's
livelihood, that its very instinct of
self-preservation was inhibited. As
a result of this dependence two
weeks after the catastrophe not even
a damage suit had been started, and
when a lawyer of distinction was told
of the situation he exclaimed:
Found, a social value for the am
bulance chaser What Austin has
needed is a train load of contingency
lawyers"
