SYNTHETIC CLUB
SCORES BIO SUCCESS
Miss Margaret Manora Hoy la 11
wins honors for herself, as well as
for the club in the directorship of
t'ounod's St. Cecilia Mass.
The auditorium of the Shawnee
High School was filled to overflow-
ing Tuesday night, February 2nd,
to hear the musical prepared by the
Synthetic club, a program of two
parts. Part one, a pleasing variety
of voice, violin and reading num-
bers. Part two, Gounod's St. Cecil-
la's Mass by three soloists, a
chorus of fifty voices and orchestral
accompaniment.
Miss Louise Cofer led the pro
gram in a very pretty song, "Roses
of my Heart," by Lohr. Miss €ofer
shows marked development through
her studies with Mr. Castle and it
is predicted that her work will be
a pronounced success.
Miss Zetah' Reed displayed one of
her many gifts in rendering De
Zeriot Concerto No. 1, in its en-
tirety. The difficulties in technique
were not apparent because of the
ease with which she overcame them,
her tone was appealing, and the
whole number showed conscientious
study and marked ability.
Mrs. Metcalf has much personal
charm, and magnetism, and before
she had uttered a word the audience
was hers. The tent scene between
Brutus and Cassius was splendid
and the lyric "Apple Blossoms,"
with which she responded to tho
enthusiastic applause of the auddi-
ence, was musical and artistic.
The St. Cecilia Mass occupied the
which she interpreted so well. Mr.
A. J. Flnke, altho not a professional
soloist, sang his work in a very
creditable manner and showed a
thorough understanding of this im-
portant tenor role. Mr. ,E. W. Hill,
the baratone, has a beautiful re-
sonant voice of remarkable quality
and range, which is alwayB a de-
light to his audience and never
more so than in his singing of the
mass.
Miss Fern Galloway's natural mu-
sical gifts, together with her artistic
temperament, reliable technique and
discretion in the playing of accom-
paniments, proved her to be inval-
uable at the piano.
The organ was very effective in
the hands of an experienced pipe
organist, Mr. Lester Hugo Castle.
Miss Zetah Reed proved herself
a capable concert meister, and
thanks are due Miss Ina Webster,
Master Geo. Fluke, Mr. E. Bstes and
Mr. A. Hamblin for effective work on
violin, flute, cornet and trombone.
'Shawnee is indeed proud of this
year's musical asset in the person of
Miss Boylan. As a director she is
not merely a time beater, but every
movement of her body seems to ex-
press her interpretation of the con-
tent of the score. We hope to have
another demonstration of her ability
in this line in the near future.

Reception For
Mr. and Mrs. DiiHaoicl.
Thursday evening the ladies of
the Episcopal church gave a fare-
well for Rev. and Mrs. Dullamel,
who leave shortly for Douglassville,
Pa. The reception Vas given in
the beautiful club rooms of the
Elk's new home, of which order
Mr. DuHamel was chaplain.
Short talks were made by Revs.
Wm DuHamel, J. Herron Miller and
Robert Thompson. A large number
of friends were present to express
whole of the second part of the pro-
gram. This composition gratifies the their appreciation of Mr. and Mrs.
love of the tuneful and harmonious DuHamel, and to enjoy the splendid
program, which was as follows:
common to all, while at the same
time it satisfies the critical requir-
ments of the most musicianly. The
singers seemed to feel the beauty of
the work and carried conviction of
this feeling by the appeal which
they made to the hearts of the
hearers. The chorus was equal to
the requirements both In pianissimo
and forte effects, and this variety
in tone volume produced a wonder-
ful result. They seemed to be at all
times in strict accord and sympathy
with the director's baton, and are,
to be commended for their faith-1
fulness in making this maanificenT
work possible.

RESOLUTION OF PROTEST

senators and representatives of this district of Oklahoma, Shawnee district) to use their Influence
and best effort to secure the nullification of said bill in the event of its passage before the presen-
tation of this petition. •
Whereas House Bill No. 161 has been passed by the lower house of the state legislature of
Oklahoma and is now awaiting the action of the state senate, and whereas said bill prohibit*
the exhibition of motion pictures of certain kinds as described therein, we, the undersigned, do
hereby testify that to our knowledge there are no motion pictures that are unworthy of exhibi-
tion We have been constant patrons of the motion picture theatres and have always found
the pictures shown to be of a high grade, strictly moral and refined and in every sense worthy of
exhibition in all theatres.
To our knowledge there are not any pictures of nude forms or suggestive poses, or any mo-
tion pictures that are obscene, indecent, licentious or Immoral. We are opposed to those adjec-
tives being applied to motion pictures as we consider it unwarranted and believe the application
of these adjectives casts a reflection upon this great, Industry upon which we so largely depend
for our pleasure, recreation, education and instruction.
We have absolute faith in the film makers and exhibitors to continue their development of
the motion picture industry according to the same high standard that has characterized their
past endeavors, of which we can not speak too highly.
We are opposed to having a political Influence or censorship exercised over motion pictures
as we regard such, influence or censorship as being entirely unnecessary and do not believe any
good could come from it.
To our knowledge the business of motion pictures is a great, grand industry of lofty ideals,
of Inestimable value to the people, providing as it does, the highest possible quality of entertain-
ment at a price that is within our dally reach. .
We are a\v*re that the Film Makers, Exchanges and Exhibitors have millions of dollars in-
vested and we are confident that the'future of the Industry will best be assured if left in their
hands- with ourselves, the people, acting as the board of censors. t
SIGMBD:
TO THE PEOPLE OF SHAWNEE:
We know, beyond any question of doubt that jurisdiction of any political influence over the
Motion Picture industry will result to the detriment of the Film Makers, Exchanges, Exhibitors
and the people. ALL WOULD SUFFER.
The Motion Picture industry Is essentially the People's Industry.
You are vitally interested. It behooves you to fceep the motion picture business clean and

pictures' are; you" know their past and present standard. As exhibitors we pledge ourselves
heroaf.er as in the past, to use our best ability and endeavor to raise the industry to a .till high-
er Time' and in this we know we are expressing the sentiment of the .Film Makers, the E.
changes and EVERY EXHIBITOR IS AMERICA.
Since the publication of House Bill No. 161 in the News-Herald Friday, Feb. 4th 1915, hundreds
of men and women have expressed to us their opposition to it and their desire to sign a petl-
