Would Relieve Congestion. The United East Side Push Club lias started a movement by which it is hoped to re lieve the congestion on the Bast Side car lines. A special committee has the mat ter In hand, it Is proposed to ask the electric car company to run trippers in the evening from the Intersections of Hawthorne and Grand avenues and Union avenue and East Burnslde streets, the trippers not to cross to the West Side. Frequently people living at Woodlawn wait half an hour before a car comes along that Is not over-crowded. In or der to get seats, people from the suburbs go south of Morrison street and get on the East Side cars, so that by the time the cars reach Alder street they are al ready filled. People from the suburbs be gin climbing on the cars as soon as they reach First street from across the bridge. Will Use Steam Excavator. Con tractors for the Brooklyn sewer are pre paring to use a steam excavator on that part of the work east of East Eleventh street. The machine has been set up at East Seventeenth street from which point It will work toward the west. The ground la of such a character that the excavator can be used to good advantage. Work on the tunnel Is progressing from the shaft at Bast Seventh street, at which point a great amount of dirt and SXavel has been taken out. No work at present is under way from the east end of the tunnel on account of the caving of a section about 50 feet long, which crushed the timbers and blocked the opening. Apprehension for BainaE. There is some apprehension over the condition of the Union-avenue bridge across Sullivan's (Sulch,- At present heavy gravel tra'ns are run over this structure by the Pa cific Bridge Company from Mount Tabor to Montgomery slough. In I..ower Albina. The trains consist of the motor and six dump-cars filled with gravel and sand. An ordinary streetcar, such as are oper ated on Union avenue, does not shake the bridge very much, but when one of these gravel trains dash over the Union-avenue bridge the whole structure trembles and shakes to an alarming extent.

C. Stone Queen Harriet Davis1 Helen v . Jenple M. Wilson Imogen ,.. Miss Drofnah CHARLES B. HANFORD S devotion to the classic drama deserves the high est commendation, for of all the stara of fixed position in public favor, he is practically the only one who in and out of season has remained true to Shakes peare. In these days of theatrical fads and sensations, of made-to-order plays and dramatized "best sellers." it is re freshing to find a man who is sincerely devoting his talents to the portrayal of those roles made immortal by the glori ous Bard of Avon. Up and down the length and breadth of the country the annual tour of Mr. Hanford is an event to which students of the Englfsh drama look forward as the one opportunity of the season to enjoy the acting of Shakespeare's plays. Al though still comparatively a young man, Mr. Hanford dates back to the Golden Age of Booth, Barrett and McOullough. It was from them that he learned the reading of blank verse, and through his association with them that he was deep ly grounded in his devotion to their methods. It must be a source of much satisfac tion to him, this knowledge that in spite of changed and changing conditions, and in spite of the fickleness of the public, he is always sure of a hearing wherever he goes. Mr. Hanford, supported by Miss Marie Drofnah. who is Mrs. Hanford in pri vate life, and his company of players, opened an engagement at the Heilig last night, appearing in "Cymbeline." A friendly audience was present and fol lowed the performance with the closest attention, never stinting its applause. Mr. Hartford, of course, appeared as Sachimo, the Roman nobleman adventur ing in early Britain, and his work was marked by the same care and attention to the effective reading of the lines that has always marked the efforts of this conscientious actor. Miss Drofnah, as Imogen, met with much favor in the eyes of the audience, proving just the foil for the robust star, as those who have fol lowed her career have come to expect. , The Queen is well played by Harriet Davis, a more than usually capable ac tress, and Andrew H. Tombes is an ex cellent Cloten. The remaining members of the company are equal to some of the requirements of their parts. Tonight the engagement will close with "Julius Caesar," with Mr. Hanford play ing Marc Antony. At the Theaters What the Press Agents Say. ' JULIUS CAESAR" TONIGHT. Eminent Tragedian Will Present the Great Shakespearean Tragedy. The eminent tragedian and actor. Charles B- Hanford will present Shakespeare's great tragedy, "Julius Caesar." at the Helllg Theater, Fourteenth 'and Washington streets, tonight at 8:15 o'clock. Mr. Hanford is Bap ported by Marie Drofnah and a capable company of players, giving the lovers of classic plays an excellent opportunity of seeing the immortal bard's great tragedy presented In a most finished manner. Seats are now selling at the box office of the theater. An Artistic Production at Baker. "Leah Kleshna," which the Baker Stock Company opened with yesterday afternoon, proved one of the most artistic productions of the entire season and was thoroughly enjoyed by two Immense Easter audiences. The work of the individual players was of a high order and elicited the approbation of the house at every turn. "Leah Kleshna" is pronounced a decided and unmistakable success. An Old Friend Back. "Ola Olson," which opened to a record-break. ng Easter audience yesterday af ternoon, was given the genuine welcome de served by au old and trusted friend.

Mina Crolius Gteason Claire Ethel Grey Terry A Sergeant de Ville. .Lynton Athey Charlotte Louise Kent Frelda Lucille Webster Hilda .". Ethel Jones Anton PfaBT Lynton Athey Johann Leo Lindhard Linden William Dills Reichmann William Harris WHEN it is taken into considera tion that the Baker company has had less than a week's time for re hearsals of "Leah Kleshna," without exaggeration one of the most difficult plays ever undertaken by stock com panies, the sustained excellence of tho performance given yesterday afternoon was quite remarkable. Recollections of Mrs. Fiske and the wonderful company which Supported her two years ago in the piece are still fresh in the public mind, and it is a courageous, almost a daring thing for the Baker people to undertake to stand up under the comparison which will naturally be made. Mrs. Fiske's sup port when she appeared at tho Empire in "Leah Kleshna" was probably the best acting organization which has ever toured the country. The Baker players do not undertake to improve upon the work of the great artists who were engaged expressly for the parts they played, and then spent months in rehearsing them, but they do set ouf to give a fine" performance of a very difficult play, and in this they succeed. I was impressed yesterday with the earnestness that everyone in the cast manifested. Apparently they were each on their mettle to see just what could be done when all hands were on tiptoe. Miss Lawrence tells me she has never seen Mrs. Fiske in this or any other piece, so her conception of the girl thief is original. This, in it self, is a recommendation, for there have been so many imitations of the great Fiske, who imitated her so ad mirably, that we have lost interest in them. Miss Lawrence strikes out for herself on original lines in playing Leah, and the result is altogether com mendable. It Is almost impossible to avoid su perlatives in referring to Donald Bowies' work as Raoul, the absinthe fiend. As a sample of what that ver satile young man can do in the way of character acting, it is a poser. Even those of us who raved over George Arliss in the part were reconciled to Mr. Bowles as a successor. Arthur Mackley, as Kleshna, lacks that degree of repression which the character seems to demand. He is in clined to overact, and should keep a firmer grip on himself. Mr. Mackley, however, deserves so much credit for the excellent direction of the piece that some individual sinning may be excused on the ground of overwork. Edgar Baume is eminently satisfac tory most of the time as Sylvaine, but occasionally he becomes "sing-songy." Schram, the sneak thief. Is well played by James Gleason so well, in fact, that, having William B. Mack in mind, I was agreeably surprised to see such a good performance. Maribel .Seymour is a delightful Sophie. Wil liam Gleason is all that the part of General Berton will allow him to be. The other parts are not especially im portant. The production is a very fine one. "Ole Olson" at the Empire. Few popular-priced theatrical attrac tions visiting Portland have more friends than "Ole Olson," headed by Ben Hend ricks, which opened a week's engagement at the Empire with a matinee yesterday afternoon. By reason or his splendid in terpretation of the character of the big hearted, whole-souled Swede Mr. Hend ricks is a favorite with patrons of the Empire and the announcement of this bill is always the signal "to get your seats early." Age does not seem to de tract from the popular interest in this production. Although Ole had been in this country only "ten mont and sax weeks," his conception of right as op posed to wrong was so well defined that he was not to be influenced into doing anything questionable. Hendricks meets all requirements and is the biggest part of the company, which is a fairly good one. Gertrude Gilbert makes a good Genie Dimple, who is the faithful friend of the widow, imperson ated by Bell Francis, to whom Ole Olson succeeds in restoring her abducted daugh ter. Gertrude Gilbert also does a clever song act and in the fortunes "of the story becomes "enyaged" to Ole before the curtain falls. Lizzie Conway as Bridget O'Flannigan, in search of hus band No. 2, made as good an Irishwoman as she was persistent In her quest for another man. Charles F. Hart who plays the part of the widow's first hus band, is lacking in steam and fails to inject the resolution and determination Into his lines that one would expect of the villain.
