Audience Pleased
By Mystery Play
Larger Attendance Likely
at Second Showing of
"Yellow Shadow"
Less than 400 persons appeared
last night for the opening show
ing of "The Yellow Shadow," pre
sented by the Salem Civic players
under auspices of the Salem Lions
club, but actually what the audi
ence lacked in number it made up
in appreciation for the play, char
acterized by some of the attend
ants as "the best home talent play
yet".
The comedy drama will be pre
sented again tonight at 8:15
o'clock at the high school auditor
ium, with the Lions' share of the
proceeds Jio go to this civic club's
Christmas cheer work.
All members of "The Yellow
Shadow" cast, directed by Miss
Beulah Graham, did pleasing
work, but outstanding was that of
Lawrence Brown as Jed Travis,
the lunatic who's "jut as harm
less as a keg of dynamite". Ruth
Versteeg, as Nell Travis, his wife,
added suspense with her forebod
ing aspect, dependent far more
upon the role of an eye than upon
speech. Roy Cole as the exagger
ated county sheriff brought plen
ty of laughs, and Betty Hamilton's
work as the city girl who had
looked too much into future was
freely commended.
Frank Doolittle carries one of
the major roles of the play. Norma
Berg as the heir to the old ranch
house where excitement and mys
tery reign and Nathalie Panek,
another city girl, add rest to the
drama.
Other members of the cast are
Fred LaDue as the disinherited
brother, who carries his role well,
and Edith Glaisyer as the coroner
and Darlow Johnson as the
"dumb" Chinaman.

Aldermah H, H. Ollnger said. "My
objection1 Is i not to getting water
but to the kind I get. Let's get
some clean i water. Yon have a
two-fifth interest in the Santiam
river that has been flowing past
Salem, for $0 years (in Mill
creek). I contend the water com
mission can! go up to the Santiam
and bring enough water down
that ditch.":
dinger declared "you might as
well build a barn and start a
dairy without any cows", as to
spend 1700,000 without getting a
good waiter supply.
It's not np to the water com
mission to recommend the supply.
Alderman Walter Fuhrer put him
self record as saying. He added
that he would "like to see some
work started" and was "willing
to furnish some money provided
it does not interfere with the ulti
mate supply."
O'Hara Would Hold
Funds for Santiam
Since; the $2,500,000 in bonds
voted by the people was "a max
imum for bringing water in from
the little North Fork," the whole
fund should not be nsed unless
this is done, O'Hara contended. As
a means of creating employment
this winter he suggested a max
imum expenditure of 1 150,0 00
supplemented by wage-paying as
sistance from the WPA. Hewas
the only councilman present who
declared himself as decided on a
source Of water.
Alderman Merrill D. Ohling re
served j his opinion as to the
amount of ! money to be spent on
the distribution system but was
"in favor of going ahead with this
program'' for larger water mains.
.Water Manager Cuyler Van Pat
ten said the Mill creek supply idea
had been hatched only last week,
in answer to a question by Alder
man Wieder. The latter also fa
vored a restricted improvement of
the distributing layout.
Members of the water commis
sion adhered to their previous
stands in favor of immediately un
dertaking a major build-up pro
gram for the distribution system,
including 'the reservoir and in
holding that it was not their duty
to recommend a source of supply.
Practically! Assured
No Well Supply
-'Chairman Edward Rostein ad
mitted I the commission "never ex
pected I the I council to vote the en
tire atnount asked ($733,490)'
and said his board was "pretty
nearly j satisfied a well supply is
not available."
The I report of Geologist Frank
Knowles on the commission's test
drillings was not finished in time
for the meeting last night. $
Costs of a Santiam and of Ha
Willamette river supply compared
as follows in a tabulation prepared
at the water offices:
Willamette river Bupply, with
