It is "Nothing but the Truth"
to say that last nfght was the big
gest audience that has ever at
tended a Salem Chautauqua pro
duction. Hundreds of extra chairs
were brought In after the tent
was jammed and many stood outside-
and craned their necks to
see and hear the play.
The play has been given in Sa
lem this year, first on the silver
screen and then by the universi
ty of Oregon senior players. It
was well given, of course, but last
night made th others look like
something else. Certainly it does
not take much scenery to put a big
play across that is, scenery any
where but in the players mental
horizon. The Keighley players
last night have not slept their way
through life; one would believe
that they got up of nights and
play in relays to perfect their pre
sentation. '
Play Shows Perfection
As an exponent of the white lie,
the play is the last word. Maybe
a good lie is Detter man a Dao
truth that . is, it may pay more
money; The play may not prove
that a normal, honest' family and
business can't be run on a truth
fni basis, for the Brewster family
and business needed a rather
strong disinfection to make It rep
resentative. But the Keighley
players take the story as it is
written, , with' no squeamish no
tlons of reforming, itr and the way
they present the weird ramitica
tlons of the battle between truth
and 'error is a scream from start
to finish. It there is any one who
attended who didn't get twice bis
money's worth, it is because be
was too short to see over the hat
or the bloomin hair ahead of him.
The comedy has set a new mark
tor, dramatic presentations on the
Chautauqua platform.
Welsh Tenor Today
Evan Williams, the-Welsh tenor
who held the hearts of the whole
world in his keeping, and who sent
three sons from America to 1 the
World war, is dead; but his place
in the musical world has been
splendidly " filled by Sam Lewis,
another Welsh tenor who comes
to the Chautauqua for a summer
engagement He is with the Met
ropolitan Grand Opera for tho
winter. He gives a great concert
this afternoon, with his own sing
ing, supported by Anient, nation
ally famous violinist, and a reader
and pianist, They fill the after.
noon hour, and give an Introduc
tion to the evening lecture. Mr.
Lewis is hailed as a worthy suc
cessor to the beloved Williams, as
a-tenor of quality that is never
forgotten.
MarFarlane Speaks Tonight

to the measure, because of dis
