FORSBERG PLAYERS SCORE
IN THE FAMILY CUPBOARD''

son sides with his mother, who keeps
him supplied with money and he con-
tinues his designations.
The chorus girl, who had been the
fathers source of comfort while his
wife was doing society, finds herself
thrown off by him and she swears TO
get revenge. This she does by max
ing his son fall In love with her, and
when he asks her to marry him she
tells him q story of her downfall and
blames his father. When his father
comes in the son flies into a rage and
strikes him. The human suffering that
bears on all four members of the once
happy family is well portrayed by TIE
Forsberg Players.
The son realizes afterward how he
had been trapped by the girl, who
runs off with an actor, and he plans
to destroy himself. His mother comes
in time to Illustrate his plans and
when she calls her husband from
whom she has been separated since
the discovery about the actress, the
family. reunited, starts the founda-
tion upon which again to build their
house.
AS the husband and father, Charles
Dingle, the leading man, plays his
part to perfection and every situation
created by the author is interpreted
Alright by him and played to the limit
Miss Courtney, as Mrs. Nelson, is a
splendid actress. Whether Miss Nc
Henry could have played the role any
better Is n question, and as the writer
had not seen the former leading lady,
The question is for someone else to
answer. There are plenty of oppor
tunities for real acting. and Miss
Courtney seized most of them.
Kenneth Nelson, the son, is played
by William Wainwright. and IL is no
exaggeration to say that he was one
of the bright lights of the cast. Alice
Clemmins takes the part of Alice, the
daughter, and what little chance she
had she made excellent use of. Miss
Margaret Lee, as Mrs. Clement Hard
ing. friend of the family, played her
part naturally, and as a result was a
big hit.
Miss Isadore Martin was the sur
prise of the cast, however, at least to
the audience who had never seen her
in a role that called for any emotional
acting. She acted the part of the
chorus girl last night and she did it

dainty little telephone operator, did

1.-THE Family Cupboard" by Owen
Davis-his first success outside the
melodramatic held-was successfully
staged by the Forsberg Players at the
Orpheum Theatre last night. AS in
previous weeks, fairly large audi

given the players 1t Is safe to say

One of the players, who had be-

short time the Forsberg Company has
been here, was among the missing

were heard on all sides. Miss Frances

has severed her connection with the
local company and in the leading role

The head of the house, Charles Nell

His wife is social butterfly, and her
social duties have gradually estranged

ODEON

Two cheerful little burlettas kept
a large audience in almost constant
laughter at the Odeon Theatre last
night. Jeanette Dupre presented If
as Her own Show in two distinct
parts: sailors and Sweethearts'
and 1.-THE Order of the Buffaloes'
The show is mostly nonsense and
music. but it is good. Micky Mark
wood succeeds in being very comlcai,
first as a stowaWay, then as a red
nosed admiral, and third as a candi-
date for the Order of Buffaloes on
initiation highland general master
of ceremonies in all three.
James Barton is his companion In
nonsense, and does what burlesque
crew of one on big ship should do,
with the addition of some eccentric
dancing.
The gags and situations are good.
For instance, there is poker game
in which the admiral gets five aces on
the deal. It's draw poker, so he has
to discard part of his good hand, On
the draw he gets three more, retain
ing his hand of five aces!
The captain, of course, suspects
cheating and he makes the admiral
eat three bullets from his revolver.
The crew upbraids the admiral and
collides with linn. whereupon one of
the cartridges eXplodes. He does II
again and another cartridge goes off.
But the third doesn't.
why was that" he asks.
1T was blanlS!" replies the ad-
miral.
The chorus is a cheerful one and
the score or more Of girls put ANNA :
ton into their numbers. The songs
are all lively. Then, too, some of the
af fa1 MT in
and Nelson Doyle and Mabel White
turned out little harmony or some
new ballads. In all the show does
credit to Miss Dupre.

witless, Age, Greed, Self, Vanity and
Vice.
It is a merry meal and wine soon
dominates the board. Beauty, led by
Conscience, falls sick, and Youth, too,
presently languishes and goes aside
to sleep.
Wealth, hearing from Age that
King Love, whom Everywoman seeks,
is dead, impersonates that monarch
and promises palaces, yachts auto
mobiles, jewels. Partisan gowns and
everything else dear to the feminine
heart, but Everywoman detects the
fraud and orders Wealth from her
presence.
Conscience, who has been singing a
lullaby to Beauty, now announces
that Beauty is dead. And Wealth,
who had been tarrying at the door
hoping that Everywoman might re-
lent and yield to his entreaties, now,
of his own accord, hastens from the
banquet hail. leaving Everywoman to
lament over the companion that has
left her forever.
And now Everywoman's fortune be-
gins to wane. She meets Poverty,
and now for the first time learns that
Youth still clings to her But, alas,
Time comes hobbling along and forces
reluctant Youth away. And shortly
we learn that the ruthless tyrant has
killed the beauteous maiden and with
dirge and supplied choir, she is borne
away to burial
Wealth has found new companions
and through the window of a fash
ionable restaurant of the Great White
Way we see the same managers, the
same Puff, the same Greed. the same
Vice, and all the train of those who
had attended the banquet of Every
woman. And Everywoman stands
shivering outside in the cold watch
ing another queen of the revels re-
ceiving the homage that had once
been bestowed upon her.
Everywoman accosts Wealth as
he leaves the festive hall He no
longer recognizes her, and when he
finally does recall her, he bids her
begone. The roses have gone from
her cheeks. which are now sunken:

COOPERATION IN DENMARK
Principle Has Not Only Been Applied
to Production and Marketing, but
Also to Purchasing.

Cooperation In Denmark has been a
logical development as the Danish peo-
pie have become educated In the habit
of working together. This co-opera-
ton has not only been applied to the
production and marketing phases Of
agriculture, but has likewise been ap-
applied to the purchasing of all man
ner of supplies. All OF the co-opera-
tive societies In Denmark are grouped
under one supply organization known
as the United Cooperative Supply As
sociation, which comprises 800 local
societies. There is also maintained
in Denmark a Farmers Cooperative
Purchase Federation with 1000 far
mer members who buy all manner of
supplies and sell all kinds of produce
through a central agency In Copen-
hagen. The complete organization Of
Danish agriculture and the application
of the cooperative idea to all Of its
phases are shown by the fact that 1t
is not all uncommon for one Danish
farmer to belong to nine or ten COOP
erative societies, each society being
limited to one single function. These
societies in turn are organized into
federations and in many cases these
declarations serve as educational CEN
ters for the distribution OF information
as well as for the specific purpose for
which they were organized.

Printers Propose
Proletarian Plan
Will Solve Labor Problem By
Exerting Power
Committee Appointed to Visit Labor
Organizations and Get Co-opera-
ton in Campaign

Labor problems and how to solve
them for the benefit of the proletarian
to the end that all wealth-producers
may gain more equitable share of
their labor power, was the subject of
a lengthy premise introduced at last
Sundays meeting of Denver Typo
graphical Union No. 40, signed by
some fifteen or twenty members.
While not declaring in terms for in
dustrial unionism, the paper outlined
points at which the present trade un-
ion movement fails to accomplish the
measure of what is considered equi-
table in wages, hours and conditions
OF labor, political advantage or educa-
tional opportunity. That thousands of
men are idle while children are being
employed at cheap wages was pointed
to as an illustration that organized Ia
Dor had not gained for humanity what
with their numbers and expenditure of
money, would reasonably be expected.
1t was also contended that invested
capital had reaped practically the en-
tire bounty of 1abor-saving machinery
and that by systems of the bonus and
piece-wage, employers have driven
workers at pace impossible for the
average employe to reach, and thus
while a few received the high wage
so often advertised by the exploit
ers of labor-the general tendency for
the great bulk of toilers is downward.
Bringing into this country of vast
armies of ignorant foreign laborers to
supplant American workers and break
up collective bargaining and crush
the spirit of trade-unionism was also
recited.
Several members who had been in
conference on the subject briefly ex-
planned the objects sought to be
achieved by arousing the working peo-
pie to sense of their power to cor
rect these evils. They said it was in
no sense a political move, nor was
there any idea of supplanting the pres
ent trade union movement with any
"schism" or ''ism."
The paper was indorsed by a vote
of the union and a committee of five
appointed by President F. l.. Pferde-
steller to act in the matter. This COM
mittee consists of l.. d. Hosman,
chairman; Oscar Anderson, Frank j.
Pulver, William Tanner and Joseph
Seller 1t was ordered that 5000 cop
les of the paper be printed for circu.
lation and the committee will person.
ally visit other unions in the city and
correspond with those of the state and
perhaps other sections of the country.
If sufficient interest is shown and
other organizations cooperate, to the
extent of selecting committees to join
in the movement, arrangements will
be made whereby meetings can be
held for discussion of all economic, in
dustrial and sociological questions.
