October 7, at the Heilig theater to a Moroni-Olson play. This unique dramatic organization which established Itself out of an idea first developed over a 'gro cery store in Ogden, Utah, in a loft heated by two, coal stoves, will formally introduce itself- to Salem in Bernard Shaw's famous comedy, Pygmalion.' Pygmal ion is only-one of three plays available for Salem "during the season providing' Salem is inter ested. "On December 9, St. Jchn Ervine's "The Ship," 'may play here, and on March 1. "Friend Hannah," by Paul Kester. A group of nine prominent Sa lem persons have banded ; them selves into a committee of person al" guarantors for the initial Mor- oni-Olsen play here. . In- this I group are Prof. Horace G. Itahs kopf. Miss Carol S.DIbble, Miss I Mabel Robertson, Miss Ethel Me I Gilchrist, Mrs. George H. Alden, Paul B. Wallace, Prof. H. W. Wil- liston. Prof. E. T. Brown and Prof. Morton E. Peck. A few facts concerning the Moronl-Olsen players the history of the company, and its spirit announce at the outset that this company. has the distinction t.f be ing the first "Circuit Repertory Company" either fl the United States or abroad. "Occasional repertory companies have taken out several plays at once and changed their bill every night, for say a week, in towns large enough to support them. Thus this company ventures into the small as well as the large towns through Utah, Idaho, Mon tana, Oregon and Washington first with one play, and then an other, and then a third. The first year this was done five times, but with the growth of . the circuit. three plays wills the season. This plan makes an enthusiastic recep tion necessary for each production Otherwise the following bill would fair to draw an audience. If a per son sees one play he does not like.

For this, their third season (1925- 1926) they have' contracts with nearly twice as many towns as they had last year,- and exactly three times as many as they start ed with. This season they are to play their series of three plays in practically every university and normal school town in .the five northwestern states In addition to such cities as Tacoma, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Helena,' Butte, Poise, Salt Lake City etc. No (rganiiation handling the Vproni-Olsen Players in any town last season lost money! This fact pleases them more than do all the laudatory press notices, and ap preciations they have received It points toward permanency and a complete satisfaction for the "con sumer" as well as the "producer. Their ideals .and plan .of pro duction are slightly different from the usual stock and repertory company In that they lay any claim for greatness, big or little, to their group or ensemble play ing. No one person in the com pany is ever featured. ; The play is always the important thing, and me parts are given to tne amer ent members cf the company best suited to playing them. It is in teresting to note that during their two years of existence in the north west every member of the Com pany has been given a chance to play an important part. And. at the same time as much attention, if not more, is given. to the small parts as the large ones. How dif ferent from the ordinary "star" system! Every member cf the company is an artist, chosen for their abil ity to play. any number of parts well, and for their devotion to the Ideal of the group of "family. In this company an actor receives very little personal publicity or fame, but gets his reward in the satisfaction of knowing each play is well and thoroughly done. And what greater lesson can any per son, artist or otherwise, get from life than that of "unselfishness." Goya said: "Painting consists of sacrifices " . Any member of the Moronl-Olsen Players could say the same of acting. , Yet the pub- LIFE BEHIND SCENES PORWEO 111 Fill "Pretty Ladies" Now Show ing at Heilig, Is Novelty of Movie Season Motion pictures are always pre-' Renting novelties to picture goers.

The chorus girls ' in this pro duction, many of whr-m compose the living chandelier, were selected after more than 200 applicants had passed the critical eyes of the director and Harry Hapf. associ ate executive of the studios. Film tests and figure photo graphs of the candidates wtv made and those chosen were then trained by Kanchon and Marco, famous stage dancers, who created the dance numbers In the film. Among the j large number tf celebrities who appear In this pro duction 1 Is ; Ann Pennington, the musical comedy star.
