Storm Damage Was Heavy

The damage Of last weeks snow
storm to the Oregon-W ashington Tele-
phone Co. was greater than at first
estimated. The repair Of broken lines
and poles, resulting from the burden of
snow that weighted down the cables,
has cost the corporation more than
$500. The greatest loss was suffered
when an electric power cable was borne
down across a string of telephone
wires, causing more than so West Side
telephones to burn out.

When You Have a Gold

1t is when you have severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Crocker, pana, H., writes
"Our five year old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible coughing
spells. We were greatly worried about
him as the medicine we gave him did
not help him in the least. "A neighbor
spoke so highly of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy that got bottle of
it. The first dose benefited him so
much that | continued giving it to him
until he was cured.

TRACTOR CLUBS

Cooperative community organizations

Growers in several localities are now
talking tractor clubs. Labor is very
scarce and owners of five and 10 acre
tracts propose to organize cooperative
companies for the purchase of tractors
and plows.
The cooperative scheme has been
successfully tried out in harvesting and
packing of apples, and representative
growers express the opinion that trac-
tor clubs may be organized on as profit

NEWS AND NOTES OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS
May Leslie Now
Stage Manager
At the Century

The woman stage manager is the
latest in the theatrical world. Miss
May Leslie, former show girl of MANY
Broadway attractions and now one of
the leading lights of the Century Grove
Midnight Revue, was appointed yester-
day by William Elliott, F. Ray Com
stock and Morris Gest as the stage
manager of their aerial theatrical
enterprise. Sne assumed her new
duties by calling a rehearsal yesterday
afternoon, by installing herself in the
stage managers Office of the Century
Theatre and by announcing q strict set
Ct rules which will make all the show
girls of the Century Grove behave as
they have never behaved before.
The appointment of Miss Leslie as
suit of the draft laws requiring men of
Graft age to either work in some useful
occupation of an essential nature or
else fight. The stage manager was for
merly Sam Ledner, twenty-seven years
old. The ruling of the provost mar
shal exempts actors who are actually
engaged in theatrical performances. but
does not exempt stage managers, whose
duties are performed behind scenes.
Mr.. Ledner was summoned in the
draft last Monday. The Midnight Re-
Vue ran itself for three nights Then
Morris Gest decided to appoint a stage
manager, and because of her skill as a
dancer and her executive ability he en-
gagged Miss Leslie, who hitherto has
been known on Broadway chiefly as
beauty.
Miss Leslie, in taking up her new
duties, made an address to the chorus
girls yesterday afternoon
Il want you girls to distinctly under
stand that none of the old excuses will
go with me hereafter" declared Miss
Leslie. mo more stories about dying
mothers and sick aunts, and automobile
rides into the country when the ma
chime broke down SO that you could not
get here. have used all those excuses
myself in days gone by. There isn't
one trick of the show girl to escape a
performance that l haven't used my
self. So II you girls expect to get away
with anything you will have to invent
some new material. Another thing: No
Johns will be allowed backstage; no
notes will be sent back during the per-
formance, and if you want to meet your
admirers after the show you will please
do SO on the street and not in the
dressing rooms. That's all, girls-and
please remember that intend to have
discipline, because l have been a show
girl myself for half dozen year; and
| know what's what"
The young ladies of the Century
Grove listened to Miss Leslies remarks
in dsmay. Several of them, as they
drove away from rehearsal in their
limousines, were heard to remark that
it was shocking" that dear May, who
used to be such lovely pal, had turned
out to be perfect oil can of a stage
manager.

John 7. Murray
Believes in Thin
Com edians

While fat man generally comes in
for more than his share of laughs
John T. Murray, the comedian in "May-
time" at the Broadhurst Theatre, is
an example of the popularity Of the
person of the opposite build, being
tall, angular and inclined to be thin.
While no attempt is being made to
discount the value Of fat comedian,
Mr.. Murray simply wants to set forth
the fact that thin man can be just
as popular When the comedian first
took up stage work his friends tried
to discourage him.
"Who ever heard of a thin come
dian?" one Of his friends asked.
you've got to be fat if you want peo-
pie to laugh at you"
Nonsense" said Mr. Murray. "There
are lots of thin comedians. And, any
how, l don't want people laughing at
me; I want them to laugh with me.
There's a big difference in the way
people laugh" But Mr.. Murray's s
friend belonged to the old school of
pleasure seekers who couldn't see any
thing funny in person who wasn't
fat.
There is no denying the fact that a
fat man is funny He looks so happy
and contented, so bubbling over with
mirth, that person in the audience
is just naturally moved to laughter.
A fat comedian is naturally funny,
and he doesn't have to work as hard
for his laughs as his thinner brother;
but if a man knows how to go after
laughs, and get them, it doesn't make
much difference whether he is fat or
thin.
For many years Mr.. Murray has
made a study of audiences. He knows
to a minute just what kinds Of things
will make certain people laugh. Some
comedians have a system of trying out
different jokes, but Mr.. Murray can
tell at glance just what his audience
wants.
