ONE DAY ONLY Tuesday, Oct. 20 BESI HAS EVER HAD For your convenience reserve your seat for. the entire season of the Forest-Taylor Co. The Forrest Taylor Dramatic Stock company, headed by the Sifted Forrest Taylor and the beautiful Miss Anne Berryman. will appear at the Heilig theater in this city on Tuesday, October 20. in one of the greatest of last year a New York successes, "The Best People," the rollicking comedy drama by Avery Hopwood. Mr. Taylor and Miss Berryman. supported by a capable cast of other players, are now appearing at the Heilig theater in Portland on all unfilled dates in that play house, and are playing nearby cities when dates in that house are taken up by the regular Orpheum vaudeville circuit or road shows. Salem has been included among these out-of-Portland dates by Mr. Taylor, and on the patronage given him in his first appearance depends his decision whether Sa- lent is to remain on his life for engagements. ,. ' "The Best People," when first presented in New York, took press and public in a storm of laughing approval, and was held over there at one playhouse for a record- breaking run. Critics and patrons called it the most amusing comedy drama ever written. There is nothing serious in It, its sole pur pose being to amuse and enter tain, and this it does without stint from first to last curtain. The comedy has to do with a family of "the best people." more or less snobbish and exclusive. When a daughter of this family falls in love with the family' chauf feur, their ideas of propriety are shocked almost beyond endurance. and then to add to the family's perplexities and embarrassments. an idolized son falls in love with OPENS TOO A V.
