GAY ZENOLA MacLAREN
49, a.
Americas Most Unique Dramatic
Artist

How shall we describe her? She is
= consummate actress-a min!ic-a
oentomimist-an illus.or:st-aa i'm
rec@onato~-an artist. There has
never b1el anyone like her with her
peculiar dramatic genius. She must
be seen and heard to be appreciated.
Miss MacLaren has brought to the
concert stage new form of art. She
attends the production Of a play about
FIVE times and such is her ability to
commit lines and retain impressions
that she is then enabled to present,
through a marvellous art of magma
ton an exact facsimile of the produc-
ton she has witnessed. She takes the
part of all the characters appearing in
the play and presents them to her au-
dience in such remarkable manner
that they seem to actually live. She
loses her identity completely and
changes from one character to anoth-
er, from comedy to pathos. with light
ning-like rapidity and never once in
trudes her own personality into the
scene.
Her pantomime is exquisite - a
thing Of beauty. When Jimmy" the
shipping clerk, mends the broken vase
in "Bought and Paid For" the audience
sits breathless for fully a minute and
a half fearing she" will drop the fra
gile peach blow. During a dramatic
moment in "Within the Law" at Me-
MORTAL Hall, Columbus, Ohio, woman
in the audience cried out 30; he shot
him" and so completely were the au-
dience under the spell of Miss Mac
Laren's superb art that the explana-
ton did not even bring them to rea-
lization that the supposed pistol shot
was only an illusion created by a slip
of a girl in a dainty silken gown.
The question has been asked over
and over again ''How can she initiate
the men characters Of play?" Just
how she does it is a mystery. The
only answer is "Art," aided by a truly
remarkable voice of great range and
power. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle
commenting on Miss MacLaren's re-
cital at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and Sciences says, "She has an al
most ventriloquistic power Of chang
ing her voice from the light tones of
women to the heavy speaking of men"
In speaking Of one of his stars who
was famous as an imitator before she
came under his management, Belasco
says, "When I saw how cleverly she

he has a real desire to round out q

that has ever appeared on the Chau-
tauquaa platform. Wide variety OF
gifts possessed by the childred has
made this dream possible Of reali-

scented to Chautauqua audiences with
full assurance that it will meet every
musical demand. III
cen different musical instru-
ments are played by members of the
company. Two xylophones are en-
ployed. Four of the members of the
company play this unique instrument.
The orchestra combination is excel

COUNTY AGENTS
ASKED T0:ASSHT

In letter from John w. Haw,
county agent leader, county agents
are instructed to give every aid pos
sible to the various county farm bur-
eaus in North Dakota in connection
with the referendum vote to be taken
in the near future on legislative and
financial problems affecting the farm
ers nationally.
Mr.. Haw says in part:
"A vote on any of the propositions
submitted can only be intelligently
rendered after a careful study OF
both sides of the question. Rest as
sured that here are two sides or the
question would not need be consid-
cred.
ut would seem tina in voting on a
question the welfare of the entire
farming population Of the nation
should be considered and not North
Dakota's particular welfare or the
welfare of any one farming group.
For instance, the retention Of $1O,-
900 limit on federal farm loans is to
he interest Of the North Dakota farm
er, but that effectively shuts out the
owa and Illinois borrower. In other
words these are national questions and
should be considered from that stand
point.
"A careful, deliberate vote on any
question cannot be secured by accla-
nation at meeting. These questions
should be decided around the family
hearth in every farm bureau home
The success and permanency OF the
farm bureau organization is based
upon education and real democratic
control. Let's Start this first refer
endum right.
where possible community meet
ings should be held for open discussion
of che questions, but the ballots should
be mailed out and mailed back when
ever it is 1feasible, signed by each in
dividual member. If this system can
be inaugurated at this time with 80
per cent efficiency, next time we will
get 60 per cent and we can look for
ward to increasing efficiency as time
goes on"

The Sholle Family Orchestra, to be

attempt on his part to restore the
cham pionship to the white race was
an effort to which he had been in
duced by a constant clamor from those
who despaired of johnson ever being
beaten by the crop or Whlte hopes
then seeking matches with him.
1t was a great throng that assem-
bled for the battle. Fringed around
the great arena packed were rows or
abirds' nests" built to shelter the
sweet sisterhood from the Rena d.
vorce colony. To them the fight was
a charming break in the monotony OF
serving time. Jeffries trained down
TO 225 pounds to meet the sleek oppo-
nent three years his junior and then
in magnificent physical trim. There
was vigorous fighting at the start,
with Jeffries crouched into serious
mein and his opponent erect, grinning
and talking as usual.
In the fifth round Jeffries sent a
stray left that rocked johnson and
momentarily wiped away his smile.
But the worried look on the black face
passed, big white teeth again cleaned
and thru them came the admonition,
Don't rush, Mistah Jeff, doncha heah
what aim tellin' you?"
leone on, Jeff, it's easy" he re-
peated often thru the bitter rounds.
Age and five years OF freedom from
the rigOrs of training told on Jeffries
and the power of his blows grew less
strong as the battle went on. In the
18th round-the last one-Johnson
sent him to the ropes with n savage
uppercut. Against the dropping head
of the weary white man the black
fighter then pounded away with one
uppercut after another.
. The challenger had tried and failed
and he fell taking punishment. His
manager hoped into the ring to stop
the slaughter. whereupon' Richard
held up Johnson's hand in signal of
victory.
