The table was centered with fall Salem's Little Theatre Folk rlan 1 rv-outs This Week f or Through the persistent and consistent efforts of mem bers of the Salem Drama league the day for a "little theatre" for Salem seems to be miich closer this year, than last. Al ready its members have picked the first play for this season, its name being "Wappin' Wharf." There is added inspiration of the wonderful work which is being done in Portland with its Civic theatre. This year after many years of struggling the little theatre folk of x vi uauu ulB17tu i brisk chapters. nave mrea a turecior mu manager- This director is Russel Spindler. These in dustrious folk have found them selves an old barn and have changed it Into a studio and work shop for the production of Civic theatre offerings this year. Recently Gilmor Brown, di rector of the Pasadena. Califor nia, Community playhouse, paid a visit to Portland, and of course hunted out the Civic theatre stu dio. In an interview with Dean Collins. Mr. Brown opened up a beautiful Tista for the little thea tre enthusiast, and the realization of his remarks will be of such far-reaching effect as to be worth every small center, such as Salem is now, to start working with the goal in mind which he pictured. He pictured the day when all little theatre movements will be come organised, just as Portland is now, into the "Civic theatres of the Pacific coast' or perhaps of the United States and through the cooperation of this organiza tion give a repertory of plays which will equal if not excel any stage period which the United States has ever witnessed. In ad dition to this excellent presenta tion which it would be possible to offer the public, there would be the added advantage that the actors were "of the people" for the civic organization is open to anyone and everyone who has tal ent, and as such offers untold op portunities to those folk who find their greatest expression in acting and yet who do not want to give up a home for the beaten path of the stage actor. Therein lies the greatest value of the little theatre movement. It opens up vast fields of expression to folk who otherwise would nev er find a satisfactory outlook for the desire to "express themselves as the Moroni Olsen players dem onstrated was necessary in "Ex pressing Willie." In speaking of this "Civic The atre league" Mr. Brown said that "The advantage of developing a league of Civic theatres, would lie partly in the facilities it would provide for co-operative buying not only of properties, costumes and equipment, but also of plays for use in the civic (theatres. The advantages that would emerge in this rtspect alone are incalculable One would surmise the play has to do with pirates and sea faring folk. By name the eight folk are Patch Eye, the Duke, the Cap tain, Red Joe, Darlin' Betsy, Old Meg. Sailor Captain, and a group of folk who will act as the sailors. Patch has one eye and la the typical lazy, amart-tongued Fal staf of the play whom one can pictnre rather successfully by this remark "I loved Flint like a brother. It was him knocked this. out (pointing to his eye). But it was Just in the way o' business. We differed a leetle in the loot. He was very persuasive, was ol' Flint." And of him It could be said there was nothing he hated worse than the sight of an empty bottle. The Duke is the Don Juan of the wharf. Prond of his whis kers, and his way with women. His "timber leg" by which he is always swearing gets plenty of action. He has a flare for sing ing, and of himself he remarks once "I'm the artist o' that there masterpiece. The Splttln' Devil! I done it on a rainy mornin'. Genius is queer." Darlin is hard to suggest. She is the sharp-tongued boarding house lady of a wharf resort who brings out many a witty situation. Betsey is pretty, slender, and holds sway quite unintentionally over the hearts of all the sailors. LThere is an interesting mystery about her presence, as well as that of Red Joe. Joe is rather a poetical sailor. He never fails to suggest the beauty as well as the horror of the situation. A few lines of his "What do you know of scuttled ships, and rascals ripped in fight? Of the last bubbles that grin upon the surface where a dozen men have drowned " " The captains are excellent por trayals of the pirate captains which we have been led to pic tnre through Captain Kidd and his kin. Meg is the witch woman who leads the events of the three acts by ga30? into her "glass".

This meeting was marked by the large number in attendance and the enthusiastic plans that were made for the coming winter season. Initiation work was put on for Mrs. Ethel Hiday. Mrs. C. N. Needham, president, pre lided. Mrs. George A. White and Miss Henrietta White left for San Francisco Saturday night, where they will be the guests of MaJorJ lieneral and Mrs. Hunter Liggett. They plan to be gone two weeks. conceded to be leading in the civic theatre movement and who can say how soon the beginnings of a League of Civic theatres may be made?" The work on "The Piper," the play given last year by the "Salem Drama league, developed some extraordinary, results in the way of "finding" ability in local folk. It had an excellent community re sult. The play this year will be of an altogether different character. "Wappin Wharf" is the humor ous sort of play which starts folk chuckling and keeps them com fortably amused to the very end. It is the first play ever written by Charles S. Brooks. Every lover of philosophical writings has read his "Chimney-Pot Papers" and there are several more books to his credit but "Wappin" Wharf was the first play and was writ ten as a result of a request from a producer. In the try-outs which will take place Wednesday and Thursday in the chamber of commerce audi torium, there will be eight main characters to be placed. These eight characters carry on the ac tion of the " play through these 47 Years' Practice Taught Dr. Caldwell Many things about Men andWomen DR. CALDWELL loved people. He studied the habits ef Ms patients and tried to improve their ways of living. His obser vations over a long period of time convinced him many people were ruining- their health by a careless choice of laxatives. Then he determined to write a pre scription which would get at the cause of constipation and correct it quickly and safely. How successful his efforts were is best shown by the fact that the prescription he. wrote back in 1885 has become the world's most popular laxative! He prescribed a mixture of herbs and other pure ingredients now known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, in thousands of cases where bad breath, coated tongue, gas, headaches, biliousness, and lack , Of appetite,' or energy grjowed him . that .the bowels Miss Marian McCleneh, na tional president of Business and Professional Woman's clubs. Professional Women's clubs, has been invited to attend the meet ing of the Oregon Federation, B. P. W. C, which will meet In Med ford sometime in May. Members of the Oregon federa tion who have heard Miss Mc Cleneh address the national group aver that she is a most interest ing speaker. She is past presi dent of the Detroit, Mich., club and for two years served as presi dent of the Michigan federation. In 1928-29 she was executive sec retary of the national federation and was general chairman of the national convention which met in Mackinac this summer. Miss McCleneh has made a con spicuous record in her work with the Massachusetts Mutual Life In surance company. Her father, the late W. W. McCleneh was at one time president of the company but upon her graduation from Smith college. Miss McCleneh refused to go into the .headquarters office at Springfield, where the way would have been made easy for her, but went instead to the De troit office where she was com paratively unknown. Here her work was such that she soon be came one of the leading insurance women of the middle west. A strong advocate of college education for women, Miss Mc Cleneh, in her work as national president of the B. P. W. C, em phasizes the fact that education should be directed toward a defi nite end daring college yean. Tie cultivation of one talent as a means of livelihood, whether used for that purpose er not, she holds to be the most valuable as set any girl may have. Miss McCleneh Is a woman of unusual personal charm with a background of fine old New Eng land tradition. Members of the Oregon federation of B. P. W. C. are very anxious that she accept the invitation to visit the Oregon meeting.
