O'Nell By LEONE CASS BAER. That prehistoric quantity audience which, before the advent of a lot of bad, or merely mediocre plays was in the habit of flocking generously to the theater, was revived, or re-discovered, last night at the Heilig. Like men and racehorses, when a play strikes Its right pace it will find its right place We went to see a good dramatic play and we saw a splendid dramatic play. The star, Margaret lllington, and the play, "Within the Law," combine unquestionably every element of theatrical appeal. It is a drama of virulent revenge and an admirable piece of playcraft. It Is a cry for pity ana justice for wom en and girls ground in the wheels of commerce. The sharp and overwhelm ing note of revejnge is struck at. the heart of her employer by an honest, sane salesgirl, who, unjustly accused of theft, is sentenced to three years in prison as an example of the stern oper ation of the law, and a warning to the other women employes. In an impassioned plea, not tor her self, but for the other employes, Mary Turner demanus a living wage. Rap Taken at Employers. "Do you know how we girls live?" she asks of the proprietor of the Em porium. "Of course .you don't. Three cf us in one room, doing our own cook ing over . a two-burner gas stove and our own washing and ironing evenings alter being on our feet for nine hours. And when .you're real sick and have to stop work what are you going to do then? Co you know that the first time a straight girl steals it's often because she had to have a doctor or some luxury like that. And some of them do worse than steal." The employer's answer to her argu ment is an order to the detective ser geant in charge to remove her from the office. Then, in a scene of superb ly brilliant emotionalism, Mary Turner looses a cyclonic sweep of vituperation, decrying the machinations of the law) the coldness of her employer and vow ing vengeance at the expiration of her term. Four years later we find Mary Tur ner ensconced in a luxurious apart ment directing the operations of a group of criminals who always keeD their work just within the law. She i guarded by the advice of a dependable lawyer, and the adorable ex-convict Tlans crime, commits it and makes safe escapes from its perils. Always ehe Is carefully militating for her avowed revenge, and in a tornado of furious hatred directed at the man she charges with the underlying responsi bility for her criminal mode of exist ence,, she strikes her telling blow and weds his only son. Shot Fired at Police. Tha rest of the story is directed egalnst the methods of the police. "A crook's got no rights," says In epector Burke, and that belief is ap parently tinctured with the convic tion that the only respectable mem bers of society ara those who wear their credentials on their sleeve. There is a keen entrasrement of th spirit of retaliation. In its choice of material "Within the Law" is the cer tified cream of crook melodramas. It portrays thieves with their- artistic Jargon, it exposes the ways and means or crook catching, it sounds an edu cational note of modern inventions in Its Maxim silencer for killing quietly. But the finest arrangement of clever devices to play on the moral sympa thies of the spectator, and at the same time gently and surely stimulate our taste for blackmail and downright thievery is the plain convincing proof that the lovely outlaw went into crimp because she was an innocent sufferer from the harsh injustice of capital and the constabulary. The police retire in confusion and the audience liked it Immensely. The vengeful little prison bird finds she really loves the man she has married as a means toward an end; the noble forjrer has the audi ence In tears and -wishing there could be another ending of the play for him otner than the prison, and the real thief Is sent, packed down with money, rejoicing on her way "out West." Illlnsrton Give Piny Tone. Margaret lllington gives to the role of Mary Turner variety and solidity. She plays it thlnklngly even in her delicious little moments of humor when she crinkles her eyes adorably and smiles. Her characterization Is vivid and a convincing character of crimin ology. As the' little shop girl she carries the audience off its feet by her fiery swirl of passion and she brings this wealth of dramatic intens ity to the subsequent rising scenes in t.ie development, perhaps in a quieter tone, but none the less eloquent and masterly. Miss lllington had the warm admir ation of all who saw her performance last night, and that big adoration went to both the splendid actress and the physical charm and beauty of the wo man. Her company In its entirety is' excellent, to the least consequential role. Hilda Keenan gives a delightfully rich picture of the little black mailing pal of Mary. Howard Gould offers a dig nified characterization stamped with dramatic reserve as the department store owner, and Frank Camp as a forger and gunman scores an artistic triumph. His "third degree" scene is ' one of the big convincing moments in tha play. Joseph. Slayter, as Inspector FAMOUS ACTRESS, WHO OPENED AT HEILIG THEATER LAST NIGHT IN POWERFUL DRAMA, "WITHIN THE LAW." AJV v MARGARET Burke, was true to the popular con ception of that type of police official. "Within the Law" is exceptionally lively, richly blessed with novelty, is keenly amusing and has the "punch." It will be at the Heilig all week with matinees Wednesday and Saturday and a special one on Thanksgiving day. THOUSANDS HEAR BOOTH Head of Salvation Army 'Welcomed in Xew York. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.

DANGER OF PLACE KNOWN But for Feather Pillow, Acting as Life Preserver, Drowning of at Least One Likely Snooting Current Long Condemned. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene. Nov. 23. (Special.) Three University of Oregon students narrowly escaped drowning- in the Willamette River to day in attempting to ahoot the rapids above this city in a canoe. They were Floyd South, of Albany; Joseph Mc carty, of Portland, and Elmer Martin, of Ardmore, Okla. The trio had already paddled through the rapids .twice without mishap and were attempting- the feat a third time, when treacherous waves overturned their canoe. South sank In the water twice, but in some inexplicable way a feather pillow from the canoe re mained under him and acted as a life preserver until help arrived. Martin saved himself by clinglns the over turned canoe. Their cues attracted Clarence Ash, another student, who rescued them in a second canoe. ' . McCarthy was the last man taken from the water, but not until the re port had . spread about the campus that he was drowned. He attempted to swim ashore and succeeded in clinging to some bushes until he was found and rescued. Shooting the rapids at this point has long been condemned as a dangerous pastime by the faculty. One student has been drowned and several had experienced narrow escapes at the place. The survivors of today's acci dent suffered from the shock and the coldness of the water, but were other wise uninjured. SNOW SCHEDULED IN WEST Continued Moderate 'Weather With .
