IT HAS ARRIVED
George Curtis Lee Snyder, (not
Schneider), who bears the proud dis
tinction of being the only printer with
a first premium baritone voice and who
can captivate more of the fair sex in
one minute than the average young
man can in a lifetime, is now num

at the mouth of the famous Columbia
George C. will be a valuable addition
from the Capital City last Wednesday
Since that time It Is noticed that there
are more tear-bedimmed feminine op
tics hereabout than ever was known.
Geo. C. L. WiU be a valuable addition
to the City-by-the-ea In more ways
than 50. That voice will be heard dur
ing the coming regatta, no doubt, and
the queen and her retinue and all the
visiting queens of the Willamette val
ley will have to acknowledge on bend
ed knees that he Is IT, and don't you
fail to remember what Is said here.
Geo. C L. isn't none of your summer
open - a,ir - board - fence - exhibit -soloists;
when he opens his mouth and
sets his vocal chords to vibrating ev
erybody stops and takes in what he
says; he can get more real genuine
good music out of that throat of his
than Madam Patti can from hers, if he
is a few years younger and don't wear
so many diamonds and take along so
many dogs when he travels. Salem

"MERELY MARY ANN"
Israel Zangwiil has plucked up cour
age to face -the candor of an Ameri
can "audience again. He has written a
play that he hopes will not bring pro
tests from critics throughout (the coun
try and rouse the .indignation of his
own people. It is named "Merely Mary
Ann," and this is enough to indicate
that It has been built around one of
ZangwlU's short stories.
"Merely Mary Ann" Is one of those
studies of character that WiU tfve
Zangwiil a permanent place In English
literature. Mary Ann Is one among
tens of thousands of country girls work
Ing in London as servants, She l
modest In speech and manner. Her face
Is not beautiful, but there Is a quiet
dignity anil symmpathy about it that
attrucl" and holds the attention of men
Mary Ann Is the kind of a girl about
whom no man could Imagine an evil
thought She is the kind of a girl men
turn to when they are tired of flirts
and think of "settling down." She was
going happily about her duties one day
when a young composer came to live In
the house. He rented an apartment and
spent most of his time with his piano.
Mary Ann had to carry up his meals.
For a week she passed in and outwlth
her tray without a word. ' The compos
er, Lancelot had noticed her meanwhile,
and one morning good-naturedly asked
her name. "Mary Ann" she replied,
her face red with embarrasment- He
notices the poise of her head, the truth
In her eyes, the natural grace In ev
ery movement, the neatness with which
her servant's dress fits. He notices al
so that work has soiled the beauty of
her hands and he tells her about it.
The next time she carries in the break
fast tray her hands are covered with
gloves, and Launcelot hurries out of the
room and busies hingelf at his piano.
Ordinarily it would have been redlcu
lous, but no one could- laugh at the
girl's intent Impossible to, to tell her
to show her red hatds again, and so
the tray comes and goes supported on
white gloves.
It would be hard to find a more pleas
ing touch in the length of Dickens.
There is a charm about this simple
girl, with her red hands hidden from
gaxe, that appeals to tears In women
and to chivalry in men. It Is not known
what changes Zangwiil has made, but
among others he has changed the end.
In the story the couple were not mar
lted, but for stage purposes Zangwiil
has had everything come out as It
should. He was criticised when the
story first was published because he left
the outcome In doubt. So it will
delight the doubters to know that they
have been brought together, that love
has leveled station end given them hap

plness. If Zangwiil has written as alu
ly In the play as he did in the story he
may not fear to cross the Atlantic. If
he has done Mary Ann Justice nil

and his attack on the drama will be
forgotten. But If he ha not retained
her simple self he had better stay In
London,
