I "The Dictator" is a classic in farce

Jim's reputation as a producer of stand
aid plays that have received the stamp
of national approval has grown since he
first put. on "Arizona," which was
followed by "Brown of Harvard," and
the "Fortune Hunter," each of which
was different and required a thorough
knowledge of stage directum to stage
properly. But, to the enjoyment of the
Salem theatre goers, each play has prov
en a surprise and more nearly approach
ing professional standards.
As an actor dim is clever, natural,
subtle, and polished. He is careful in
his staging of the play and exacting in
its acting, as the production showed
last night iu its smoothness, its Inch of
embarrassing moments so common to
Amateur work.
There CBli be no doubt about it fail
Gabrielson is an ideal ship's officer
and he makes as good an actor as he did
,a corporal on the .Mexican border. He
has a remarkable "sang froid"- what
ever that is that enables him to put
anything over. Carl was an asset to
(the show that could not have been ruiflS
! ed. As a "wise guy" self admitted
j he took the part with an ease and tint -
u i nines that was highly pleasing. His
j lines were as full of laugh us possible
j and he got alt there was out of them,
j One of the best performances of the
I play was that of Perry Reigleman as
j Simpson, alias "dim Dodd," the valet
of Travers. Perry got the audience go-
ling from the moment he appeared. The
part is a difficult one, and full of
I laughs, and this clever actor never miss
ed an opportunity to put over every
laugh the part contains. The scene in
the third Bel where the valet examines
a shot gun to find out whether it is
loaded, brought screams from the audi-1
ence that almost stopped the play,
"Duffy," the -secret service detcc
tive, was a scream and kept the audi
ence bubbling with laughter all tin
time he was on the scene. He was si
j bold about his secret it was impossible
to keep from outright laughter -and his
innoncence in the bands of travers waj
extremely funny. Duffy? Oh, yes,
Laurence Hofer, he who pin veil lin'de
teetive in "Tlie Fortune Hunter," and
made such a nit. tarry duplicated his
former su ss, with perhaps several
more laurels added to his crown.- lie!
W8a decidedly good.
Charles I.- Dick, formerly an officer
in the national guard, blossomed out as
' ' General Santos Campos," a real, live
I Central American revolutionist, who,
with (9,000 met and defeated his rival
ill a bloody battle iu which five priv
jates were wounded and generals. Anil
'Mr. Dick upheld faithfully the reputa-
ItioJl of the fierce and blood thirsty I
general, In fact he was ipiite a surprise I
ito his many friends, who were wcllj
pleased at his success.

j attractive personality and put over the
very difficult part in a thoroughly
j creditable manner. It was her lot to be
: demure, retiring, to be all that eveiy
!one else wus not, and it was a hard
thing to do. Hut Mis Thompson's abil
ity as au actress put the part over in
a satisfactory manner, in all the acts
she showed the repressing influence of
the north in contrast with the exuber
ant, exotic life of the tropics. She was
gowned tastefully and appropriately in
each of the three acts and made a pleas
ing oasis in the terror and intrigue of
the revolution, although she was swept
j into its clutches herself.
.Miss Margery Marvin as Mrs.
T. Bowie, the wife of the comiul,
