Judge Webster Talks.
In commenting upon the proposed
amalgamation, Daniel Webster said
that a larger organization would sure
ly be beneficial, and good thing, but
before considering such a plan, the
members should first consider the hum
BILE personages who will be asked to
lend a hand in boosting the commercial
interests of the city. He said that he
did not wish to decry the social fea.
lures of a new and larger organization,
but believed that the surroundings of
such body should be such that every
man in Salem would take interest in
the work, where, otherwise, should
social line be drawn, they will not.
These remarks, together with some
made along the same line by Gideon
Stolz brought Mr.. Dick to his feet
again. He said Judge Webster and Mr..
Stolz did not have to attend the Illihee
club if they didn't want to, and that
they and every other person will have
to pay the usual fee, $3.50 a month, in
the event they desired to enjoy the So
cial privileges of the proposed new or
ganization.
Says Frame-up.
After being interrupted many times
by the champions of the Illihee clubs
interests at the meeting, Roy WaSsom,
a member of the Board of Trade, in
formed President Darcy that there
was evidently a scheme hatched up by
of the Ililhee club to carry
the consolidation plan through, whether
or no, and that as there were but few
present, he believed the en-
tire proceeding should be stopped where
they were until the Board of Trade
could be more favorably represented.
Mr. Wassom declared that there
should be no bars up if the two bodies
were consolidated. eff the Board of
Trade fees are considered valuable by

"a Good Little Devil. :"

GA Good Little Devil" that "little
friend of all the world" is living up to
its promise at the Republic theatre,
where it held an equally potent charm
for old and young. There have been
many plays for children in New York
this season, but this fanciful drama,
written by Nine, Rostand and her son,
and produced by David Belasco with
his exquisite sense of beauty and pic,
torial effect, is something more than a
whimsical fairy tale. While it contains
everything to delight the young mind,
it is built upon substantial founda.
tion Of real drama, expressed in text
of true literary beauty and acted by
one of the best companies Mr.. Belasco
has ever selected. William Norris,
Mary Pickford, Ernest Truck, Ernest
Lawford, Edward Connolly, Etienne
Girardot, Iva Merlin and all the 9th,
ers-not forgetting Arthur Hill as
Rab, the Dog-makes this fairy play
for grown.ups" one of the real de.
lights of the New York season.
Among the admirable group of
comedians assembled by David Belasco
in "a Good Little Devil" which will
soon reach its 15Oth performance at
the Republic theatre in New York, one
who has achieved conspicuous success
is William Norris, an actor of high in.
telligence, refined method and wide
versatility. To catalogue list of his
success would be at once to nominate
him for n permanent niche In. America 3
theatrical "EIall of Fame" for his
work has ranged from the light .frivoli.
ty Of comic opera and extravaganza,
such as Babes in Toyland," to an i'm.
pressive rendering Of the classical,
such as the Jester in Francesca da
Rimini. There is scarcely anything
at either extreme, or in the long range
Of parts between, that this admirable
actor has not played, and always with
distinction.
William Norris has earned his po.
stion among American actors through
regarding the delineation of stage
character as distinctive art and ap.
preaching his work with the perception
and skill Of the true artist. Known es.
sentially as a character actor every
role has been a creation. He has stud.

reproduced it convincingly, both as to
