II 11 It

Salem, for the first time, will
be audience .on Wednesday eve
ning. 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.

he certainly does not spend his
money to see another play by the
same actors. ,
The Moroni-Olsen players have
stood this relentless test so veil
that they now number 45 towns
in their regular circuit, having
started two years ago with but 15.
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-
