Mrs. W. Burghardt
Is Drama Club
Hostess
Mrs. William Burghardt was
hostess Tuesday afternoon for a
one o'clock luncheon honoring the
eighteenth birthday of the drama
class which has been directed by
Mrs. William E. Kirk for erery
one of the 18 years of its exis
tence. In October of 1911 through the
efforts of Mrs. Harry Minto this
class was organized as a branch
of the Salem Women's club. In
cluded among the charter mem
bers are Mrs. W. E. Kirk who was
appointed leader. Mrs. William
Fleming,. Mrs. Harry Minto, Mrs.
F. E. Smith, Miss Mattie Beatty,
Mrs. William Burghardt, Mrs. W.
E. Anderson, Mrs. A. N. Bush.
Mrs. W. C. Dyer, Mrs. John Al
bert, and Mrs. R. J. Hendricks.
The luncheon table where cov
ers were laid for the 13 members
now active in the drama class, was
most attractive, centered as it was
with an eighteen candle birthday
cake, between frosted vases con
taining a formal arrangement of
Calla lilies, bleeding hearts, roses,
and tulips. About the rooms were
several potted small cactuses, in
formal arrangements of ivy, for
" get-me-nots, and prim roses in low
bowls, the whole effect being one
of unusual lines in flower group
ings which was both smart and ap
pealingly artistic.
Covers were laid for Mrs. W.
E. Kirk, Mrs. W. E. Anderson,
Miss Mattie Beatty, Miss Edith
Hazard, Mrs. John McNary, Mrs.
Ray Farmer, Mrs. A. N. Bush,
Mrs. John Albert. Mrs. Sam Ko
zer, Mrs. E. C. Richards, Mrs. R.
J. Hendricks, Mrs. W. M. Hamil
ton, and Mrs. William H. Burg
hardt. The birthday cake was cut and
a wish was expressed from each
member, and toasts were given In
honor of the past and in anticipa
tion of the future.
Following luncheon Mrs. Kirk
and Mrs. Anderson appeared in
old fashioned dress In honor of
the early days of the drama class
history. . iMuch discussion follow
ed and much reminising was done
concerning the past accomplish
ments of the club. It was de
termined that a very incomplete
list of plays studies, which began
with Ibsen, would be well over
200. That does not Include all of
the extra studies which have been
made of various phases of the dra
na . .
V; Dr. Kawacaki, who was a dis
tinguished guest of Salem Tues
day, appeared before the drama
class late in the afternoon and
spoke on the .works of Murasaki,
"The Tale of Genji" in particular.
His discussion was greatly enjoy
ed, i
Mrs. Burghardt served tea late
in the afternoon at which time
Mrs-. Fred Thielsen, Mrs. Clifford
Brown, Mrs. Otto Paulus. and
Mrs. L. H. Tarpley were special
guests.
Plans were made before the af
ternoon was finished to have an
elaborate celebration for th drama
class in October at which time the
history would have been gotten
together, especially the number
and name of the plays studied in
printed form to be presented to
each member.

Amarillans Not "Hicks"
Won't Pay for Cut Opera
Guarantors of Deficit
Dare Operatic Com
pany to Sue Them
THE citizens of Amarillo,
Texas, are up in arms
against the Chicago Civic
Opera Company since the per
formance there of "Thais" a
short while ago. Mary Gar
den, as prima donna of the
Dpera, came in for her share
Df it.
It seems the Texans offered the
Chicago company a guarantee of
$12,500 before it consented to play
in the tiny town of Amarillo. Two
checks were duly presented to the
manager at the close of- the per.
formance one for $10,000 and
another post-dated for $2,500 to
cover the deficit.
Today, however, the guarantors
refuse to honor the check for the
lesser amount, for very definite
reasons, and they don't care who
knows it. Col. Ernest O. Thomp
son, mayor of Amarillo, acting as
spokesman for the guarantors,
said: "Amarillo Is not a 'Tooner.
ville,' and we do not intend to be
taken for a ride by a big company
from a big city. The performance
was hurried and sloppy, and the
performers were evidently saving
their voices for what they consid
ered more sophlticated audiences."
The claim that the piece was
cut for Amarillan delectation gave
further rise to the defense that
"we are not hicks; we know our
opera as well as metropolitan au
diences and we won't stand for
any deletions."
The unkindest cut of all, how
ever, was that aimed at the fam
ous prima donna. The caustic edi

Noted Visitor
Pleases Salem
Salem folk have been, enjoying
the presence of Dr. and Mrs. Ka
wasaki who came to Salem Tues
day In the course of a "good will"
tour which they are making of the
United States in behalf of the Ja
panese government. The appear
ance in Salem was a direct result
of the efforts of members of the
Willamette University faculty and
the cooperation of the Japanese
consul in Portland.
Dr. Kawasaki is an American ed
ucated student as well as a Ja
panese educated student and
therefore his visit was particular
ly sympathetic and his remarks
were particularly well received by
his various audiences during the
day.
In the afternoon Dr. Kawasaki
spoke before an afternoon Eng
lish class of Dr. Henry Kohler
and a few additional guests. Here
his topic was Japanese art and
poetry, and he especially stressed
the simplicity and the symbolism
to be found in the Japanese flow
er arrangement, as the grouping
of flowers In numbers of threes
and fours, and the form of a tri
angle which Is a symbol of heaven,
humanity, and earth. He also
mentioned what is so impressive
to the American visitor the spir
it of quiet and contemplation al
ways to be found In Japanese cul
ture. KQiJBjf
Tuesday evening a dinner was
given In honor of Dr. and Mrs.

Franklin. Much reminiscing was
done by Dr. Franklin and Dr. Ka
wasaka when It was discovered at
this dinner meeting that they had
met before in the Empror's palace
last summer.
Following the dinner at the
Spa. Dr. Kawasaka spoke at Wal
ler Hall, Willamette University,
before an open meeting on the
subject of "Nek and Old Japan."
In this lecture he pointed out in
a most' interesting manner the
changing of Japanese civilization,
and indicated the weighty influ
ence of American civilization. He
expressed the fear that Western
commercialism might supplant the
finer things to be gotten from the
Western modern life. This Dr.
Kawasaki feels would be most un
fortunate and he made it clear
that he trusted the best of the
East and West wonld be consoli
dated to make up the new civiliza
tion which is sure to be a product
of the near future.
The marriage of Miss Ruth
White and John Beck was quietly
