DAILY CAM! At JOUHXAL, SALEM, OREGOX, MOXDAT, OCTOBER 21, 1912. Pago Three New Play by .Strong Company (What PreBs Agontg Say.) "Officer GGG," Cohan and Harris' lateBt biicccsb, will be offered at tho Grand opera house, on Tuesday even ing, October 22, for but one perform ance. There la no doubt concerning the success f Augustln Mucllugh's play, for In spite of the fact that It contains one or two criminal characters, It abounds neither In pathetic grew Bome nor dramatic passages. It Is pure fun from beginning to end, with a laugh In almost every speech and situation. The characters are not caricatures, but cleverly drawn types, an array of ludlcroiiBly comical ones drawn from both high and low clasBos. The author's knowledge of criminal virtuosity, gained In earlier days as a police court reporter, lias stood him In good stead In the creat ing of the aristocratic rogue, Wilson. It gave him the faculty of Imparting an aspect of truth to impossible ad ventures In the limning of this adroit and accomplished stage rascal. The succession, of adventures takes place In a Fifth Avenue drawing room during the lapse of only a few hours. Travers Cladwln, a rich young ama teur art colloctor, who has travoled the earth with his friend, Whitney Barnes, In search of a new sensation, returns unexpectedly to find it await ing him, ready-made, at home. With the help of a dishonest valet, a notor ious picture thief, Alfred Wilson, has assumed Gladwin's name, taken pos session of the premises and Is getting ready to despoil the art collection of Its treasures. The bogus Gladwin has also won the affectloiiB of a too-truthful young girl, Helen nurton, and Is preparing to elope with her on that vory night. Earlier in the afternoon, the real Gladwin has seen Helen In a restaur ant, and her pretty face has mnde an Impression on his susceptible heart Ho comes face to face with hor a few hours later In the drawing room of Wb own house, where she has gone, to arrange the final details of her elopement.

AMOTHER HARRIS' COHAV'" success AUt Of TME ,1 ALL OF TMt MYSTERY OF ! - FUN OF Sherlock holmes ( Charley' s aunt" becomes the-problem that confronts Gladwin. With his rriond, names, who Is quite too thick-witted to be of much assistance, he sets about the task, uppermost In his mind being the deslro to protect the girl from un seemly notoriety. Gladwin bribes a convenient police man to lend him Ills uniform and other insignia of authority, and re turns to his hnJme to surprise Wilson in the act of cutting the most valu able pictures from their frames. As j Helen has not yet arrived, there 1b nothing to do but wait and warn her 'of her peril. Meanwhile, Gladwin gots some astounding Information J from Wilson, who Is an art connois seur as well as thief, regarding the ( worth! cssness of several of the can vasses for which he has paid extrava gant amounts; and to keep up the deception, he finds himself compelled to aid the thief In pilfering the col lection. At the appointed hour Helen arrives to keep hor engagement, and the real Gladwin glveB the alarm to the police man who has been hiding in the house. This minion, Orficor 6GG, of the title, has, meanwhile, grown re sentful against Gladwin for having kept his uniform bo long and sub jecting him to the risk of discipline, The cool picture thief proves equal to the emergency and succeeds in convincing the policeman that the Gladwin !s the Impostor, and that he, Wilson, is the actual owner or tne property. Even Helen, who has at first heeded the warning of Gladwin, begins to grow dubious, and presently the society knight errant finds him self arrested as a thief. Opportunely, however, Gladwin's Japanese servant has called In the other policemen. The tangle of iden tles is about to be straightened out when Whitney Barnes turns up, and by his blundering identifies the real Gladwin as the Imposter. The cul prit Is on the point of making off with his plunder when a detective arrives with a warrant for Gladwin's arrest on the charge of abduction Helen's aunt had gotten wind of the elopement. This plain clothes officer recognizes Wilson the bogus Glad win as an old offender, and prompt ly puts him under arrest Gladwin's effort is now to aid Wil son to escapo, In order to shield the reputation of Helen. The lights are suddenly put out; the prisoner bolts, nnd there 1b a lively chase all over the house, which ends in Officer CGO again being brought Into service. Wilson dodges his pursuers, chloro forms the luckless policeman, dumps him Into a chest, puts on his uniform and nonchalantly walks out of the front door to make a successful get away in the automobile he Intended to use of the elopement. After Gladwin's exciting adventures for Helen's sake, it Is of course In evltuble that the young lady should reward the rescuer by giving him her heart. "My, I feel as If It couldn't happen except In a play," exclaims the ecstat ic Helen, at the last moment To which Glndwln rejoins, "It couldn't!" Its "The Old Homestead" at the Grand For a quarter of a century Den- mnn Thompson's ''The Old Home stead" has been seen In the various cities throughout the country nnd the desire to witness it does not seem to show any abatement. It may well be called a problem play, the problem being how to account for tho really phenomenal success which It has en joyed through all the theatrical sea sons that have Intervened since Mr. Thompson first presented It to the public at the Boston theatre In tho spring of 188G. In speaking of the success of his play, Mr. Thompson once said he had never doubted what the ultimate result would be if only he could succeed in convincing the theatre going public that he was pre senting on the mimic stage real live people and not the venerable pictures which our fathers knew In the days of John Owen's "Solon Shingle" with his "bar'l of apple sass."

The "cutting back" process, recently practiced by some growers, has proven to bo a bucccss', so that now a second crop of this delicious fruit Is counted In crates, where formerly a box or two at tracted attention. From a patch of several acres on the Illlhee tracts, west of Dallas, Messers. Stewart & Fisher this month marketed more than $100 worth of second crop straw berries. This firm was also success ful In producing for the market an abundance of fine first-crop berries from the same pntch. Encouraged by their success, they this week planted 17,000 new plants and the coming sea son will find them devoting more time to the cultivation of tho big, red berry. It has long been known that the soil on the hills around Dallas Is the kind where the strawberry will thrive, but it remained for those young bachelors to prove it. The tract lies near tho city reservoir, and other growers have been equally successful this year. Miss Eileen O'.Hulloy, In "The Old Homestead," at the (irand Monday October 21. people began to realize after a while that way back In boyhood days they had known characters like Uncle John, Cy Prime, Scth Perkins, Aunt Matilda and the rest, they were not slow to come to the conclusion that at last the real Yankee farmer had been transplanted from the New Eng land farm to the stage. "The Old Homestead" became a success from the start, and the reason It Is so suc cessful In this, its twenty-seventh season, is due to a great extent to the fact that the same attention Is paid to detnll as at the beginning, and that Mr, Frank Thompson, son of Denman Thompson, Is, and has had for years, tho personal direction and manage ment. ALHASY HAS A DECIDED MYSTERY Sage Tea Will . Darken the Hair Restores Faded and firay llulr to jit ural Color Dandruff Quickly Removed. There s nothing new about tho Idea of using Sage for restoring tho color of the hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by tho use of a simple "sage tea." Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear ance, they made a brew of sage leaves nnd applied It to their hair with won derfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time tiresome method of gath ering tho herbs and making tho tea. This is dono by skillful chemists bet ter than we could do It ourselves; and all we have to do Is to call for the ready-made product, Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing sane In the proper strength, with tho addi tion of sulphur, another old-time sculp remedy. This preparation gives youthful col or and beauty to the hair, and Is one of the best remedies you can use for dandruff, dry, feverish, Itching scalp, and falling hair. -Get a fifty-cent bot tle from your druggist today and you will be surprised at the quick results.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A Wednesday morning an elderly look ing man, heavy-set, wearing a mus tache, a dun-colored suit and a derby hat, drove Into town on Washington Plreet, unhitched his horse nt tho edge of town nnd so far as is known has not been seen since. Tho horse wan dered down town nnd Into tho Albany stables, where it took a drink and went out again. The stable men then caught it and the constable has adver tised that It will be sold next week at public auction if the owner does not appear. Sheriff Smith nnd Deputy Del Smith were notified nnd took charge of the buggy, which contained a number of ni tides, including an overcyat, a pair of shoes, some oats and a number of shotgun shells. The children In the neighborhood where tho buggy was left, say they Baw a shotgun In the buggy nt first, but it was not there when tho officers arrived. Tho place where tho buggy was found Is on Washington street near the Southern Pacific railroad so It Is possible that some one may have tak en the shotgun yesterday or last night. No clue has yet been discovered that would seem to lead to a solution of the mystery. The city police have been notified and are on the lookout for any one that would answer the description giv en by Mrs. Rulter, who first reported the case. Albany Herald.
