Mrs. Samuel Semple Addresses Mem

Special Correspondence.
Mechanicsburg, Feb. 9. —Last even- |
ing Mrs. Samuel Semple, president of j
the State Federation of Pennsylvania j
W omen, spoke before the local Worn
ar.'» Club aud a few guests at the home ' 1
of Miss Catharine H. Keefer. Mrs.
Semple haß been for years identified 11
with many of the movements in which
the women's clubs of Pennsylvania are I
interested and is thoroughly'conversant :
with the subjects upon" which she i
touched last night: What .the immi
grant brings to us and what we owe to 1
him; matters of legislative interest for 1
this year, including woman suffrage and
anti-alcohol legislation and protection
of the woman's labor law of last ses
sion from tampering, and woman's
part in constructive peace work. Mrs I
Semple was one of the first members
appointed on the State Industrial Com
mission and is very familiar with
economic conditions in Pennsylvania.
While she was careful in speaking on
the enfranchisement of women, to sep
arate what she said as an individual
from what she said officially as presi
dent of the State Federation of Penn
sylvania Women, her statement as au
individual was a clear pro-suffrage
presentation in few words. Mrs. S. E.
Basehore, president of the local club,
introduced Mrs. Semple, and at the
close of her address presented to her,
in the name-of the club, a corsage bou
quet of narcissus. Miss Mae Singiser
rendered two vocal solos very pleasing
ly, with Mrs N. \\. Hershner as ac
companist. Light refreshments were
served in the dining room under the .
direction of the hospitality committee.
Mrs. Semple was the guest of Mrs.

Ambition is a email word, but it cer
tainly does mean much. Many people
think they have the ambition to do cer
tain things, but when it comes to the
point they seem to ftill by the wayside,
j Not so with Charley Champlin. He
always has had the ambition to be a
j shining light in the theatrical firma
ment and by dint of hard study and
( work he has gradually mounted the lad
der of fame, step by step, until <>e
has reached the topmost ranks, and
has succeeded in grasping the goal of
his ambition, and that was to De the
foremost star in his profession to-day.
is now making his fourteenth an
nual tour of the East, where he has met
with renowned success on each visit.
Mr. Champlin has sifrrounded him
self with a stronger east than ever,
and the latest New York dramatic and
comedy offerings, each play being
mounted and staged correctly with a
lavish display of scenery and electrical
effects, on a par with any of the higher
class plays given at $1.50 and $2
prices. And, let us remind you, gentle
f reader, that all the plays presented by
his company are given at popular prices.
' Many of the skeptical ones say, "How
can they do it for the money?'' That
question is easily answered. Mr.
Champlin and his company of associate
players play to the masses. Mr. Cham
, plin and his company will open an en
gagement at the Majestic, wth a Mon
day matinee. Such Broadway suc
cesses as -'The Man From Home,"
"The Littlest Rebel." "The Stran
ger." "The Heart of Maryland," "He
Fell in Love With His Wife" and
"TheHrhost Breaker" will be present
ed. Mr. Champlin's motto is ''The
best plays at papular prices for the ap
proval of persons of refinement and
good taste." Adv.*
At the Orpheum
It would take a whole page to tell
about, all the good things at the Or
pheum this week. Half a page at least
would be required to tell about sun
shiny Emma Car us and her nimble part
ner, Carl Randall, who serve up the
brightest comedy with songs and
dances that the Orpheum ever hnd.
Emma Carus is so strikingly different
from any woman we have ever seen
here that it took almost the first part
of her act for the audience to become
j familiar with her style. But when she
advanced this far Miss Carus won them
I rock-solid. She has a eare-free, origi
i nal and pleasing personality that puts
her quite in a class bv hersolf. Her
expressions are the wittiest ever, her
songs new and catohy, and her danc
ing, well for a young womag of her
avordupois, it is simply marvelous. Mr.
Randall is a natty and trimble dancer,
a pleasing artist as well, and helps Miss
j Carus considerably in making their bit i
|of musical comedy an attraction of !
i class." Admirers of exquisite har- <
; mony will not want to overlook The i
Volunteers, a rattling male vocal turn; 1
the Welling Levering Troupe, with ]
i their comedy evele act, injecting all <
. sorts of sensational comedy surprises, t
scored a lauphinc hit. Bert Fitzgibbon,
the original "nobody home" comedian,
jis another positive favorite. Mack
! and Vincent present a nifty singing
j act: the Kramers are original and clev
jer in a fast gymnastic act. and (Mr.
' nnd Mrs. Esmonde are entertaining in
