Harmless Reflections On Local Theatri-

Time was when the average wise guy
said "Let me see your newspaper and

have. - Not so any more. He ambles
around to the moving picture houses,
and the next morning he has the town
down TO fine point. He works ON the
theory that a people at their amuse-
ments are natural and unaffected. The
fear of exposure has for the moment
left them. And he is more than half
right.
1t has been noted by travellers that
towns are different. Some towns are
much more different than others.
Salem is rated as one of these. We
who live here do not fully appreciate
this. We can Z, of course. We are like
other animals. Take dog for instance.

front-at any rate he can't see his
back. And he thinks his back is the
same as his front. Which it isn't al
ways.
Most of Salem people are patrons of
the theatres. Some of them go for
amusement Of an innocent sort, while
others go to find fault, which is the
form their idea of amusement takes.
They can t help it, of course. But they
would have a good deal better time if
they took things a bit more for

college boys.
Joseph Carl Breil, musical composer
of "'The Birth of Nation" and author

"The Song of the Soul" had con.
genial task in writing the music for
this latest Griffith supervised play.
From beginning to end the music-so
say those who witnessed the piece -
is an unalloyed delight. 1t is romantic,
sentimental, fiery, martial and grotes-
quely amusing by turns.
One of the funniest stunts is the
German drinking strain. "Tusch -

appraised in air. Up jump the players
and blow their serio-comic note on the

seats until another "Tusch!" summons

Information For Congress
viii Be Long Delayed

Washington, Jan. 22.-President Will
son will not respond to the senate re-
quest for information on negotiations
between the United States ad Mexico,
for at least month or six weeks, and
may be longer it was learned reliably
today. A great mass of matter, bearing
ON the Fall resolution asking facts, has
been turned over to the White House
by the state department. From this the
president will select what he desires to
send to congress, for much of it is con
fidential and must be handled care
fully Likewise, the, Mexican situation
is developing so rapidly that scarcely q
day passes without increasing the bulk
Of the negotiations.
1t is understood the president hopes
that before the data is. presented to
congress, developments below the border
will prove that the course he has pur-
sued there has been the right one.

asked the manager of the theatre why
he didn't have more of such pictures,
and a look of sadness came upon his
face and he informed me that such pic
turcs came out only about once in two
years.
So there you are. For my part I can.
not understand why the highest class of
pictures do not always meet with a
cordial and substantial welcome from
Salem people of the highest class. Is it
that Salem people of the highest class
are in such a minority that they cannot
hold the standard steady Are there not
enough people in Salem who care to mix

ment to keep the high class stuff going

Censors Are Jokes.
cannot see why the person who has
bit of money to spend at a motion
play should not see motionplay which
will give him an uplift mentally, NOR
ally and spiritually, and at the same
time satisfy his desire for amusement.
Every man his own picture censor is
the practical solution of the censorship
matter. The professional censor is much
the same sort of joke as the expert
witness. No normal minded person cares
for pictures in the raw, and pictures In
the raw are the only pictures that the
professional censor gets action on with
full Justice to all concerned. Question
able pictures would go out fast enough
if people did not 60 to see them.
And there is no good reason why peo'
pie should go to see the questionable
picture. Actors Of the best class are
not seen in it. Producers of the better
sort will have nothing to do with
them. Passion, comedy, pathos, all are
developed. in pictures that self re
specting citizen may take his wife and
children to see with perfect safety. And
such pictures costsno more to see than
the other sort Sometimes they cost less
to see. Good argument for the Other
sort seems to be lacking
II may be contended that the average
person, who does not keep in touch with
motionplay production, cannot always
tell what variety of picture he is going
to see when he drops into theatre
But he can do as he would do if he were
about to buy a piece of jewelry; he
picks his jeweler. Let him pick his
theatre. He may not get quite so many
wicked thrills, but he can get enough OF
them, if that is what he is looking for
and he will have the satisfaction OF
having had more than his money 9
worth Of entertainment and at the same
time experience the satisfactory con,
sciousness that his time has been well
spent.

A MESSAGE TO YOUNG MEN
(John Peter Altgeld.)

Young man, life is before you. Two
voices are calling you-one coming
from the swamps of selfishness and
force, where success means death, and
the other from the hilltops of justice
and progress, where even failure brings
glory. Two lights are seen in your
horizon-one the fast fading marsh
light of power and the other the slowly
rising sun Of human brotherhood. Two
ways lie open before you--one leading
to an ever lower and lower plain, where
are heard the cries Of despair and the
curses of the poor, where manhood
shrivels and possession rots down the
possessor; and the other leading off
to the highlands Of the morning, where
are heard the GLAD shouts of humanity
and where honest EFFORT is rewarded
with Immortality.

The announcement of the coming to
Salem at the Grand opera house on
Friday, January 2S, for an engage
ment of only one performance of Wal
ker Whiteside and his fine company,
will be welcome news to local play-go-
ers. This season there are fewer dram
atic and musical companies on tour
than for many years. 1t is only the
fittest that survive. The time has long
since passed when a merely fair organ
ization, with q star made over night
can hope to get paying business. But
the gain is great to those who enjoy
only the best upon their dramatic menu.
Mr.. Whiteside has always been wei
come visitor to this city, and it is to
his credit that he has always brought
not only good plays, but a supporting
company worthy throughout. He will
bring his magnificent production of
"The Typhoon," which is accounted
perhaps the most brilliant and powerful
drama the stage has known in 90 years.
In this play Mr. Whiteside appears as
a japanese diplomat resident in Ber'
lin, who becomes entangled i'll an "af-
fair" with beautiful young woman
who brings about his destruction only
to lose her own life at his hands.

Frank W. Stone Confesses to

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 22.-Rumors
were flying fast here today that moro
prosecutions are pending in connection
with the looting of state industrial in
surance funds, since the complete con

Stone, to Governor Lister, Attorney
General Tanner and Others here last

Stone is said to have admitted forg-

say definitely just when the frauds be
gan; how much money had been secur.
ed, or the exact number of claims forg-
ed.
J. f. Gillies, Stones partner in the

nected with the insurance commission,
is on trial for completely in the frauds.
Whether Stones confession implicated
Gillies has not been learned.
