LOCAL WOMAN IN
NJ 'ALESTER TALK
EXPLAINS PLANS
Miss Anna Wade O'NeilI Points Out
Purpose of State Convention To
Be Gigantic Training School
for Women Voters.

McAlester, Okla, Jan. 19.-The
movement of democratic women oi
Pittsburg county for organization
and election OF delegates to the f rst
state convention of women eSei held
n Oklahoma began auspicious!y Sat
lrday afternoon when $50 women as
sembled in mass meeting at the
ourt house in McAlester and heard
ne plans of the central committee
Of the state outlined by Miss Anna
Wade O'Neill, of Chickasha.
Miss ONeill explained that tie
state convention is being planned as
a gigantic school of instruction for
the women voters. Mrs. Bass, ma
, tional committeewoman chairman, OF
Chicago, will be present with a large
corps of experienced workers who
will convert the convention into an
institution for placing before the
feminine suffragists the principles
OF organization and cooperation
within the democratic party.
That it was not the purpose of the
men politicians to oppose the unfit
cation of the two sexes in the mat
ter of suffrage was the message Miss
O'Neill brought from the state COM
mitteemen. The convention is
planning to see that women are civ
en- the benefit of the larger expert
ence of the men in political fields.
The speaker urged that every one
If the "a delegates chosen attend
the state convention so that they
would be able to bring back the ben
efits to every corner of the county
The mistake of not affiliating with
any political party but registering
as independent was pointed out by
Miss O'Neill. She directed the at
tention of the women voters to the
fact that unless they chose a PARTY
affihation in registration they coule
not vote in the primaries and hell
to put the best and cleanest candi
dates up for election as the choice
of the majority.
Miss O'Neill outlined her idea o.
how the work of educating the wo
men of the country to the opportu
mites and scope of usefulness O
suffrage as well as to the privileges
For the purpose she recommends
lectures in every town of the state
intense study by individual womei
| and clubs of civil government ant
state and federal laws, the putting
into public libraries for reading mat
ter of the most approved works ol
government and the study of part,
platforms for comparison.

"ROBIN HOOD" OF OLD SAME
BIG HIT AT SUGG ON SATURDAY
AS FIRST CAPTIVATED NATION

Robin Hood" the same Old Rob
in Hood that captivated the coun'
try twenty years ago, came, saw
and conquered" Chickasha Saturday
evening. The only reason why more
people didn't see the piece, presSat-
ed by Ralph Dunbar's most excel
lent company at the Sugg, was be
cause the theater Was not larger.
The house was packed and many
were turned away.
II anything at all mitigated
mitlgated against the pleasure OF
Those who had the privilege of hear
ing the opera, it was the knowledge,
upon the part of some at least, that
the author of the beautiful music,
Reginald Dekoven, had suddenly
passed away in Chicago on the pre-
ceding day after seeing the triumph
of his latest production.
From the opening of the first act
III lile llndl CuIldll lile duuleuCS
belonged to the folks ON the stage
giving expressions of approval in no
uncertain manner. Encore after en-
core left no doubt THAI the piece
"hit the spot" With a perfectly
balanced cast every. member of
which was fully equal to, the part
assigned him; with costumes and
stage settings that met all the re-
quirements and with singers of rare
talent, robin Hood" went over big
in Chickasha. In the midst of so
much to praise upon the part of ev-
cry member of the cast, it would be
difficult, if net impossible, to prop
erly appraise the credit due. Arthur
Parr, "RcIbin Hood" was an exceed
ingly capable actor and a pleasing
singer Lorna Doone Jackson, as
Alan ADale, and Elsie Thiede as
Maid Marian, shared honors fairly
evenly in their respective parts, both
winning a host of admirers. Ed-An-
drews, as the sheriff of Nottingham;
the veteran, John MacSweeney, as
Friar Tuck, and Saul Solomon,
as Sir Guy, all scored in comedy
parts, and VIM. Degen, as VIII Scar
let, won favor with his fine bass
voice, while Marietta Russell, as
Dame burden, must not be over
looked.
1t has been demonstrated that
Caickasha enjoys and will support
first class opera and any time that
Mr.. Dunbar has another offering he
can be assured of an appreciative
crowd here. The Sugg management
deserves the highest cOmmendation
for bringing such an entertainment
as "Robin Hood" to Chickasha. In
the language of the press agent, WHO
this time spoke truly, robin Hood
was "musically, artistically, enter
tainingly" a success.
