STAGE DIRECTOR
I'niler lho bonding, "Our First nnd
Only Municipal Theater," a recent
number of "Vnjruc" contains an in
teresting article from Hie pen of Hie
well-known dramatic critic, C'lnytim
Hamilton, relating to the work of Mr.
'I Iioiiuih Sworn, son of T. M. Kwem of
Medford, who has been visiting with
his pim-ntH in our city this summer.
Mr. Kwcin is shiRo manngor of the
N'ortlimiiptoii Municipal thenter, of
which Mr. Ilninilloii's article says in
pail as follows;
file only municipal theater in the
United States is situulert in North
ampton, Mass. It has recently com
pleted its fourth nnd most successful
season; and it is (tow firmly estab
lished, with ii comfortable balance on
the right side of the ledger. The work
that is being done by Ihe Xorllinmp
lon 1'layers is not imly interesting: in
itself; it is micro-dim- also as tin in-
licalion nf what might be done, nnd
oirghl to he dune, in many other cit
ies of this country.
"Norllinmplon is a manufacturing
town of some 20,0(10 inhabitants, hot
ter known, however, as Ihe scat of
Smith college. The Northampton
theater itself was a legaoci to his
homo town, bequeathed by one of its
most public spirited citizens, the Into
.dwaid I!. It. Lvinan, tho property,
known as 'The Academy of Music,'
beinp left to the iiianagemcnt of a
board of trustees, of which the mayor
of Nortlinnipton nnd the president of
Smith college are cx-ol'ficio perma
nent members. A stock company was
installed, with Mr. Swcm as stage
manager, nnd experienced actors for
its principal members, with tho sub
ordinate parts taken by beginners in
the profession, whose training for
their nit is in the hands of Mr.
Swcm,
"One play a week for a season of
thirty weeks is produced, most of the
plays delected being from the lend
ing New York successes, preference
being given to pieces whose success
was based upon nrlistic merit. ..Ad
mission juices ruiigo from 25 td 7f
cents.
"A special development of tho work
of the Northampton l'lnyor.s has been
inane tinner me patronage or a public-spirited
citizen, Ocorgo Miss Me-
Cnllum, whose residence contains 'a
little theater' that, seals about 200
people, livery third or fourth week
throughout the season a hill of throe
or four brief plays of the more lit
erary sort is presented ill tins theater;
by members of tho municipal com
pany. The expenses for scenery and
oslimics are paid by Mr, McC'ulluni.
and Micro is no charge for admission.
Ihoso special performances arc di
rected by Mr. Swcm, who designs
and pn mts the scenery himself. He
is an admirable artist and has mas
tered I III! essentiul principles of what
is commonly called 'the new staire-
.' The beaut v of his work has
li'awn many visitors to these per-
'ormauees from Boston nnd New-
York; and these visitors have gone
away front Ins productions with a
vivid sense of something that is lack
ing in their larger cities. . One of .Mr
Sttem's most notable successes was
The Li IV of a Marionette,' a panto-
inline devised by him troin sonic
verses of Stephen l,cncck's; olliei
product ions including Muclcrlinck's
I'he Intruder, Stiindhcrg's 'The
Slianger,' 'The Marriage Proposal'
by Teheckol'l', 'The School for Molh-
crs-in-l,av' by Hrieux and other plays
not commonly afforded lo theater-
,'oers in Ibis country.
"It is an axiom that whatever has
been done can bo done. Is it logical
that Ibis liny and unpretentious town
should longer he allowed to excel such
civic centers as New York and I'hi-
ago, Philadelphia and Huston, in in-
sisliug on the public importance of
(lie thenter us a civic institution?"
.Mr. Swein expects to revisit Med
ford next summer, and it is hoped
tliel advantage rail be taken of bis
presence here, utilizing our local tal
ent for the purpose, under his direc
tion, to put on one or more short
plays of marked literary and artistic
merit, illustrating the "new stage
craft," of which he is becoming wide
ly known as one of the foremost
American exponents. It is to he re
gretted that our local organizations
devoted to literary and diainntic art
did not avail themselves of Mr.
Sweni's luteals in this connection
during the occasion of his present
visit.

'(Portland Spectator Aug. 20.)
A very colorful and altogether
pleasing portrait of a very pretty
woman; Mrs. O. E. Johnson, of Med
ford, Ore., which Is hung in the Hotel
Portland, has attracted much atten
tion' from local artist's and art lov
ers. The splendid technique In paint

position are notable, and have been
commented upon by many who do not
know the naturaly gifted young ar
tist, Mls Heglna norland Robinson,
of Jacksonville.
Although she Is very young. Miss
Robinson has accomplished a great
deal with her art, even In the quaint
town of Jacksonville, the old mining
centor of Oregon. Miss Robinson
works in pastels, oils and water color
and her outdoor scenes have won
quite as much recognition as her por
traits with the few artists who have
seen them.
One could write a very pretty true
Btory of this young artist, who has
worked almost alone in the little
town that Is, more like a village to
day 'than it was thirty or more years
ago. She has painted everything
poetic that Jacksonville offers, from

TO STORE FRUIT
Curtis Darby and Dunne' Goodman
left today for a trip to Crater Lake.
Fruit growers of Jhe Rogue River
valley were concerned over the ef
fects of the Impending railroad
strike. In a statement Issued last
night upon receipt of the ward that
the Southern Pacific would receive
no more perishable freight, Manager
Beckwith of the Rogue River Fruit
and Produce association issued the
following statement, embracing a
plan for the encompassing of the sit
uation: "The announcement, of the South
ern Pacific made late last evening
that it will receive no more perish
able freight ponding settlement ot
the trainmen's controversy with the
railroads is a severe blow to the fruit
growers of this district. The Rogue
Ulver Fruit and Produce association
takes this occasion to announce to
its shippers, not that it refuses to
receive any more fruit, but that It
will continue to receive and pack
fruit up to the limit of Its own cold
storage capacity of 4 0 cars, plus any
further efficient cold storage space
that It can procure here. This fruit
will be received and packed and
stored, however, entirely at the own
er's risk, with the understanding that
every effort will he made to move the
fruit at the earliest opportunity, and
with the hope that thtt railroad strike
if it occurs, will he so speedily settled
as to produce the minimum of damage.
"Very few Bartlotts remain to be
shipped. 'and those can he held here
if necessary for two or three weeks,
The Howells can be held for a longer
time, and the storage period for
Cornice, Bosc, Aniou and 'Winter
Nells may be extended frqm two to
four months. What cold storage
space we have will be apportioned
among all our growers, and tho ex
pense will be pooled. We will not
permit undue haste in the picking of
the varieties that are' not ready to
come off, and we believe that by real
co-operation, and a sincere endeavor
by each to work for the good of all,
the association can prove as never
before in its history that it is a vital
necessity to the fr.uit growers of this
valley." ?
