HoIly(7Cod ' Admission lpc -35c By AUDRED BUNCH A prophet, in the person of Carl Sandburg, poet of America, received recognition in his own land last night at Waller Hall when he entertained practically a full, and cer tainly an enthusiastic audience, under, the auspices of the Salem Dramatic League. Sandburg, author of seven books, is one of the ac know- edged literary figures of the age. A Qiverse and delightful program began with the mtro- duct.on ot tne poet, cnaries Alex- 4. anaer or Aioany, autnor ana eat tor, worded it. The poet, dressed in unobtrusive iron gray, and wearing black spats, read and spoke in a reso nant voice, now soft, now deep. The first of his books, entitled "Chicago Poems," was written 11 years ago. The second, "Corn huskers," which followed, is a panoramic portrayal of the region which lies between the Allegheny and the Rocky Mountains, The third book. "SmOke and Steel." was followed by "Slabs of the Sunburst West." The three Rutebaga books are filled with philosophy and signifi cant overtones for the mature and sophisticated reader and with rhythms, repetitions, and whim seys for the child, the naive in the audience. This double appeal, says Mr. Sand berg, is the true in dex to the perfect child story. Mr. Sandberg dwelt with affec tion and sympathy on the intimate history of Abraham Lincoln, whose biographer he has become. He made the note that 2700 books have been written since his death. Mr. Sandberg's biography of Lin coln proved to be .much more ex tensive than he anticipated: first. because the material concerning him was so abundant, and second "because I found Lincoln the most companionable character I have ever had the pleasure of meeting." Mr. Sandberg described the break of the modern poet from the traditions, how at last the poet came to discover that in the language there are certain musi cal syllables that can be used to advantage. SULPHUR IS BEST TO CLEAR UP UGLY, BROKEN OUT SKIN Any breaking out or skin irritation on face, neck or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphnr, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, nothing has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irritation. Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin dear and smooth It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disfigurement. A little jar o Rowles Mentho-Sulphur may be ob tained at any drug store. It is used like cold cream. For Fret SampU UaV Thi, Advertisement to WMITEHALL PHARMXCAL CO.. Inc. 8MduooAvc NewYorfc,N.Y. Adv. "So mind is sufficiently catholic to appreciate all the master pieces," Mr. Sandburg believes, and adds the quotation to prove his point that "diversity of opin ion is the index to civilization." The second group in Mr. Sand burg's program program included the reading of a group of his own poems, notable for their organic rhythm In lien ol regular meter. A number of those given may be . listed as follows: "Broken faced Gargoyles." "CahooU, "Jo nah's Tomb," "Dnlm Fantasia," "Night Stuff." Mr, Sandburg left his audience uproarious when he granted a "Rutebaga Story" as an encore. - 'The closing group on his pro gram consisted of songs with gui tar acH-ompaniment. These were the numbers: "Cot ton Belt." "Potato Famine." "The Doughnut Man." "Illinois Song." Arrangement of Negro Spirituals. During Mr. Sandburg's stay in Salem he is being entertained as the house-guest of Mr. and, Mrs. Albert Richard Wetjen. Mr. Sand burg's Salem engagement was his first in Oregon. A large delega tion came from Portland to hear him. Tonight he will go to Cor vallis to speak. to ten yearjW tbe state reforma tory when hb pleaded guilty in superior couri bere today.
