Manager Laflar
Entertains Young Folks

Manager Laflar, Of the Oregon
Theatre, could enter the race for the
governorship and beat all contestants
hands down, that is if the youngsters
of Salem had the voting to do. This
morning he gave a free entertainment
to all in the city under the age of IA
years, and apparently they were all
there. The play was "the Silent
Man" with Bill Heart in the title
role. He is a great actor, and has de-
lighted many large audiences, but
never has he appeared before one so
enthusiastic, so bright-eyed and so
deeply absorbed in the play and play
ers. The proverb says cit is better
to give than to receive" but if this
is true and Manager Laflar is any
more pleased as a giver than were the
hundreds of little folks who were the
recipients of his generosity, he will
be heard of next in the hospital suffer
ing from an overdose of Christmas
joy and the spirit of giving. 1t was
a happy thought on his part and
Bill Heart, the Silent Man, and Man
ager Laflar will get mixed and tangled

in celebrating Christmas at the White
House. Sitting on the library floor be-

Mrs. Wilson and other members of the
White House family joined in the fun.

was pattering on the roof of the execu-
tive mansion when little Francis and El-
len stirred in their beds. IT was not long
afterward that the president was ruth
lessly reused by the youngsters and
ordered to open the mysterious doors of
the library.
Soon the whole mansion was astir at
the call of the youngsters and shortly
after 8 o'clock the library doors were
opened. There stood a great tree, en-
blazoned with myriad electric light, sill
yer and gold tinsel shimmering through
the green fir branches. Its boughs were
laden with gifts for the grandchildren,
Mrs. Wilson, the president and their
relatives.
Forthwith the president was forced to
seat his executive self on the floor and
for nearly an hour he played with the
children under the tree.
This is the presidents experience
every Christmas and it is the one time
when his entire attention is taken away
from affairs of state. Again in the even
ing, after the coffee had been served
at the big family dinner, the president
accompanies the children to the library
and participates in last "play' be-
fore the youngsters go off to bed.
And while the White House and cab
met homes were ruled by fortunate
children, Mrs. Wilson, in big White
House automobile, laden with toys and
candy, sped out along the Virginia road
and stopped at numerous houses. She
carried the annual remembrances of the
president to children who greet him
daily as he drives to his golf game.
