Get More Votes
No matter how many votes you
have, candidates, secure more; It
will be far better to have too many
votes when the judges take charge
of the ballot box than not enough
Get hold of the big Cat votes be
tween now and the finish, for you
will be far more comfortable In
the intervening time between the
finish and the final count.
Tou will never cease regretting
if you lost out on the prize of
your choice when you could have
won if you had exerted yourself
to your utmost during the closing
hours of the big campaign. All
together, candidates; it is now or
never make it now.
Sealed Ballot Box
The last vote list to be pub
lished appears in the Wednesday,
March 14, paper.
The ballot box will be sealed at
8:00 a. in. Wednesday, March 14,
and will remain sealed, locked
and protected, until after the
close of the contest, when it is
banded over to the judges to fig
ure out the prize winners.
When the judges make their
final count they will take the final'
vote list that appears in Wednes
day's paper and to that they will
add the votes which have been
polled in the sealed ballot oox, and
jthe grand total thus attained will
'be the total number of votes that
the candidates have to their credit
at the close of the contest. This
is in accordance with one of the
rules of the contest which reads
as follows:
"Rule No. 33: To insnre abso
lute fairness in the awarding of
prizes, the contest will be brought
to a close under a sealed ballot
! box system. During the last per
il iod of the campaign the box will
be locked and sealed and will re
jpose where the candidates and
their friends will deposit their
final collections and reserve votes.
And not until the race has been
declared closed will the seal be
broken, the box unlocked and the
judges begin the final count. In
this way no one. not even the cam
paign manager, can possibly know
the voting strength of the respec
tive candidates, which preclude?
any possibility of favoritism and
insures fairness to the minutest
degree."
Understand, candidates, you can

Texas Man Confesses
Murder of 2 Women
SULPHUR SPRINGS. Texas,
Mar. 12. (AP) Newt Byrnes,
charged with slaying two women
and a girl at San Angelo confess
ed the crime to officers here to
day. A quarrel about a check which
Byrnes said he had signed with the
name of one of his victims preced
ed the killing, he declared.
Those killed were Mrs. W. J.
Juergens, her daughter Myrna, 13,
and her mother Mrs. Rosa Schir
ra. The bodies were found yester
day. Byrnes, who was the Juergens
chauffeur, said be had signed Mrs.
Juergens' name to the check and
on March 3 they had words about
it. He admitted he struck and
The setting for "Broadway, the
drama of crime In the. cabarets
which comes to the Elsinore the
ater for one performance on Wed
nesday night, March 14, is the pri
vate party room of the Paradise
Night club. The night club is one
of the products of prohibition In
New York. In them congregate
bootleggers, gamblers, criminals
great and small, actors, "high
hats" from Park avenue on slum
ming expeditions, and low-brows
from the east side.
The room in which the three
acts of the play are enacted, serves
as a dressing room for the cabaret
chorus when quick changes of cos
tume are necessary. It is imme
diately off the cabaret floor, and
as the swinging doors open to
I permit the entrances and exits of
the entertainers the music of the
jazz band blares out blatantly.
Above the room, with a winding!
stair leading to it, are the dressing
rooms of the entertainers.
In the private party room re-
"That worm" the word was
whispered, "has apparently turn
ed and left the dressing room,"
said one of the Original Black
birds, held over today at the Elsi
nore at the requests of thousands
of Salem persons who have heard
the black-faced comedians since
first they sidled upon the stage
Sunday. It was Mr. Frye of Moss
and Frye, who have been continu
ally together for 21 years, who
was speaking.
"Guess," he resumed pointedly,
"ah gotta right to call a spade a
drawin' card."
Any C. P. A, might testify, fol
lowing a glance at the box office
receipts, that Moss and Frye, the
Original Blackbirds, may lay
claim to the pseudonyn of drawing
cards.
"Seriously," said Mr. Frye,
"may I say that, during that 21
years during which almost every
city in the United States has been
our home, Salem has shown, us
something which we or I believe
any act, always finds?"
The comedian cleared his throat.
"In the first place let me mention
our audiences. If I Were to ask for
it, I could not have found a re
ception which we would have ap
preciated more. I don't believe
that the man out front realizes
what that means. Salem seemed to
want us and I needn't say we ap
preciated it.
"The other thing I want to men
tion is the Elsinore. No you need
not put up your hand. Any person
who loves beautiful things would
have said far more than I'm going
to. But I wish Salem people to
know that, in our opinion and it
hasn't been long since we played
New York, Chicago, Boston and
of course scores of other large cit
ies we have never seen a theater
truly more beautiful than the Elsi
nore." "Guess," said Mr. Frye, ''I'd
better be getting into those white
clothes."
All members of the acts express
ed the same sentiment as did one
of the headliners.

Nobody who has already reserv
ed seats for the play "Broadway"
to be seen at the Elsinore Wednes
day night, or those who plan to
take their chances in the box office
line, need expect a cast of "Pol-
lyanna" characters.
By that. V. E. Mclntyre. man
ager, does not mean to imply that
there is anything abhorent or un
enjoyable about the drama. He
simply means that "Broadway" Is
life that is, a certain stratum of
life which Is to be found in New
York city.
Perhaps one of the best indica
tions of the success of "Broad
way" is the fact that such men as
the most saturine critics many of
whom have been responsible for
the crash of a first nighter re
tained their Seats in the front row
and helped the audience bring
back actors and actresses for "cur
tain calls." Among these critics
were Heywood Broun, Alexander
Woolcott, O. O. Mclntyre and oth
ers whose names are almost as well
known in London and aPris as in
New York.
To resume: there Is nothing re
volting, nothing "creepy" about
"Broadway." It is merely a. play,
said by critics to have been unus
ually well done, which concerns it
self about the cabaret life as It is.
Indications are that Salem the-

Norma Shearer, as most per
sons know, has done most every

ed. Theatergoers have come to the
conclusion that she can do most
anything.
Here, as per ordinary, there is

Yet independent (not paid by
producers) critics declare that no
vehicle, and there havo been many,

MARK "TRAIL DUST"
Tradition, history and romance
are filled with the super-man and
hero but the king and chief of
time's greatest pageant to yester
day Is the bronzed American red
skin who, centuries before the ad
vent of the paleface, pitched his
tepee on hill and plain, chasing
the buffalo and trapping the mink,
raising his corn and tobacco, smok
ing the pipe of peace and raising
the blood-curdling war-whoop.
Around this colorful figure of
the early west is built the thrill
ing story of "Trail Dust." It also
tells the story of the struggles of
the cattlemen against the outlaws
and cattle rustlers. Incidentally
telling one of the most beautiful
love stories of all times.
