Old friends of the Conan Doyle

says. Through the Magic Door, little
known TO the generation of Doyle fans
that has arisen since the brave days
when the doctor fctioneer was gal
liant and new figure on every book
counter. 1t deals with the pathetic
tale of Raffles Haw. who learned
how to make gold from lead, but
whose magnificent billions tainted the
hearts of the one family on whom
he placed his affection and trust. In
the same volume are reprinted two OF
the old Sherlock Holmes tales, The
Red Headed League" and THE Bos-
combc Valley Mystery The volume
has had quaint history. First pub
lishcd just before the international
copyright act. it was promptly pirated
in this country and has never had
the legitimate career it deserves.

4 NOuel on Democracy

Democracy. by Shaw Desmond. is
subtitled "a Novel of To-day" 1t is
the product of one of the younger Brit e
ish fiction writer's. whose briliance of
style does not belle the implication of
his given name. He himself is by way
of being an Irishman, writing in Eng
lish-good English-twhose wit is as
Irish as his patronymic.
The theme is the struggle between
capital and labor. but treated in a
much more abstract and philosophical
way than John Galsworthy treated it
in his concrete play Strife While
Mr.. Desmond is not taking sides in his
stories, one feels that his sympathies
are in the main with the ideals and
demands of the producers and not their
exploiters. He leads up, through his
chapters of description and characteri-
zation. to a denouement of forceful &C
ton. including n general strike and a
battle in the streets.
Mr.. Desmond is gently ironical at
some of the fifty seven different varie
ties of radical and socialist He is
also unsparing in his satire of toryism
and tories. The reader will get many
laugh at the keenly etched portraits
of some of the pink tea and other po
litical freaks who infest movements.
In a sense this is an "a clef" novel.
like some of Disraeli's, and readers
will be interested in identifying some

not strictly be considered as chamber

to the list of instruments required to

Tales for the Tired

Whoever is in search of some rafting
good adventure stories should read the
collection of tales which Baroness Orczy
has gathered together under the title Of
"The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel 4"
They tell of thrilling things that hap
.pened during the French Revolution and
of the brilliant success of Sir Percy
Rlakeney, known as "the Scarlet PIN
pernel." in outwitting the agents of the
revolutionists. The book is exactly
what the tired business man needs for
relaxation at the end of the day. The
only criticism that can be made against
it for such use is that the T. B. NJ.
may get so deeply interested that he will
let his cigar go out.

TheBestAmusement
Ever in Oregon
Coming to Salem

In ANNOUNCING GUY BATES POST
as the best amusement attraction ever seen
on the Coast am only vOicing the opinion
of the critics of San Francisco. Portland
and every other city in which this well
known star has presented THE
MASQUERADER' not in past seasons,
BUT RIGHT Now
THE SAME EXCELLENT COMPANY
THE ONE THAT HAS PRESENTED
THIS ATTRACTION SINCE IT
BEGAN---The same wonderful scenic
equipment---with its double revolving
stages---its three mechanical crews
its triple electrical equipment and
lnimltable resources that requires three
mammoth cars to transport, will be seen
in SALEM WEDNESDAY NIGHT,

WHEN NEGOTIATIONS BEGAN for
this wonderful organization, the writer
made a visit PERSONALLY TO
SEATTLE, in order that might be
fully and thoroughly familiar with the
merits and masSiveness of this presenta-
ti0n. was more than repaid for the
trip, by seeing what honestly believe to
be the most finished and impressive
theatrical entertainment have ever
seen, THE MOST COMPLETE THAT
HAS EVER MADE A TRANS
CONTINENTAL TOUR
THE STAGE OF THE GRAND
is LARGER THAN MOST STAGES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE, and yet
by actual measurement there is but few
inches to spare in accommodation this
massive production and only that is made
available by removing every yestage of
house scenery and equipment, in fact the
Manager for Mr. Post made special
trip to this city and personally measured
the stage to make certain of its
adequate dimensions.
1T is WITH PARDONABLE PER-
SONAL PRIDE that can and do assure
the amusement lovers Of the valley of
the unusualness of this production
Mail orders will be received and reserved

six days in advance of the engagement.
PRICES---the same as Portland, San Fran
cisco and all other cities, will range from
S1.00 to $2.50---And desire to state while
there is no chance for The Grand to
make profit from this exceptional
engagement, / feel certain amusement

the groups that financed the peace efforts before

However it seems the prompt strike settlement gave
