Last Car Leaves For Oregon City at Midnight
COMING TO HElLiG
Robert Hickens' uncanny woman,
Bella Donna, has been vitalized and
put upon the stage by James Bernard
Fagan, who, out of the famous novel
of the same name, has made a four
act play which is said to have been
one of the great big successes of the
present season. New York reviewers
said that "Bella Dpnna," with Ma
dame Nazimova playing that charac
ter, was the greatest role this dis
tinguished Russian actress has play
ed since she became one 01 the lead
ing women of the English speaking
stage, and that her subtle art was
never seen to better advantage than
in this role which they described as
being repulsive, splendidly evil, fas
inatingly heartless, a serpent-like
creature who both fascinates and re
pels. While Bella Donna is above
the understood line of immorality,
there perhaps never was presented
in fiction or on the stage, a worse
woman, morally.
This breaker of men's hearts had
been a society woman, with a rich
brewer for a husband, but the brew
er had divorced her and the name of
Bella Donna had become a by-word
in the London clubs, and for that
matter everywhere where men of
money met, for Bella Donna was a
very material woman. In making
his dramatization, Mr. Fagan is said
to have followed the Hickens' story
with more fidelity than the average
dramatic adapter. The plot of novel
and play are identical, save that Mr.
Fagan has transposed certain of the
scenes in order to give the play more
dramatic continuity.
The dramatization falls into four
acts, the first of which is placed in
the consulting room of the celebrat
ed specialist, Doctor Meyer Isaacson,

in London. Here Mrs. Chepstow
(Bella Donna), of the nortorious past
comes for a consultation with the
doctor, who informs her that her only
malady is curiosity to" laarn what
manner of man he is, as he is the
best friend of Nigel Armine, whom
she proposes to make her future hus
band. Reclaiming desert land along
the banks of the Nile in Egypt is the
special diversion of this earnest
young man, and when he proposes
marriage to Bella Donna, there seems
to be some fitness in his project of
causinb lilies to bloom in the arid
and lust-baked heart of the woman.
The second act takes place in the
Villa Androud, near Luxor, on the
Nile, which has been leased for the
honeymoon and when it begins the
bride has already tired of her young,
earnest and loving husband and is
well advanced in an intrigue with
Mahmoud Baroudi a rich and fascin
ating Turco-Egyptian, who stirs har
vicious instincts out of their benum
bered sleep of boredom into a last in
sanity of sin, to that extent that she
readily accepts oriental hints in the
technique of poisoning.
The scene of the third act is the
deck of the dahabeeyah "Loulia."
Nigel Armine is a hopeles wrack
from the Borgian treatment of drug
ged coffee to which he has been sub
jected and had it not been for the
extremely timely arrival of his
friend, Doctor Isaacson, the sugar of
lead would have completed its dead
ly work. -
The last act is placed in the gar
dens of the Villa Androud. Armine
is almost restored to health, but
when the doctor tells him the true
cause of his illness he refuses to ba
lieve until told by Bella Donna her
self "you fool, you fool, I hate you, I
love Mahmoud Baroudi." Then she
goes to find Baroudi, but when he
learns that she has confessed every
thing, he casts her off and tells her
to go bick to her husband. She
comes back to the Villa and the doc.

THE WOLF AT THE BAKER
Thrilling Play of the Canadian Woods
tc be Seen at the Baker
Next Week
"They say that the wolves never
run in packs except when the wintsr
is long and the game is scarce. But
in Indian Summer they can scent the
death of man for miles before death
comes, and they form in pack and
howl at the cabin, and then before
'the moon rises and sets some man
wi'l die, and the wolves will come
back for a taste of his blood."
So runs the Canadian legend, and
when this wolf in human' form is to
meet his death, the faint howlings of
the timber wolves are heard in the
forest at night. This superb play by
Eugene Walter, one of America's
foremost playwrights, and author of
"Paid in Full," "The Easiest Way'
and others, will be presented by The
Baker Players all next week begin
ning Sunday matinee. The scenes
are laid in the great, lonely forests
of the north, and the play tells tha
story of Hilda MacTavish, who has
lived all her life with a half crazed
old father.
Of the coming of McDonald, and
his winning her confidence and T;hat
of the old man, the play also tells,
and of his plot to take her away with
the promise of a home with his moth
er and city advantages, and of how
he would has succeeded but for Jules
Beaubien her lover, a young French
Canadian trapper and his friend Bat'-
i iste. '
I The intense accord act inside the
1 cabin, in which Jules and Bat'iste
1 outwit McDonald and the old father
I ran away with Hilda. The trip down
the river, the deadly pursuit by Mc
Donald, the fight in the dark, and
'. final end of the wolf are all parts of
a gripping play full of action and
thrilling situations, mounted with
superb mountain scenery. It will be
played by The Baker Players in their
most artistic and finished manner.
The usual matinee will be given Wed
' nesday and Saturday and the always
popular bargain night Monday.
' The coming of either Robert Ede
son, Wilton Ickaye, Max Figman or
Rose-Coghlan to a theatre always
means one of the important event3
of the season, but with all these stars
in a single cast, together with Lolita
Robertson, Amelia Sumers and the
others who comprise the ' original
stellar array appearing in "Fine
Feather," the occasion becomes a
most notable one, and one that will
go down In local theatrical history.
"Fine- Feathers" is announced to
appear at the Heilig theatre, 11th and
Morrison, for four nights and Wed
nesday matinee, beginning next Sun
day evening, the play coming direct
from its long run at the Astor theatre
New York. "Fine Feathers" is a re
markable play of today by Eugene
Walter, author of "Paid in Full ' and
"The Easiest Way."
Presented by even an ordinary cast
it would be one of the most striking
presentations in years; but with the
entire original cast of stars, bring
ing out the full value of every part
in the play, the performance is such
that no one can afford to miss. It is
a liberal education in dramatic art to
watch these masters of the drama
playing together. No finer perform
ance has ever been given on the Am-!
erican stag's. Mail orders for the en
gagement are now accepted. Seats
go on sale Friday.

CLUB EXCURSION
IDEA IS POPULAR
The last call for reservations on
the Commercial club's excursion to
Portland on June 9, is being sounded.
In spite of the fact that additional ac
comodations have been allowed upon
the vessels that will carry Oregon
City's boosters to the metropolis, 24:5
out of the 280 tickets have already
been disposed of, and it is . believed
that the entire list will be taken up
by Monday.
A change has been made in " the
time ef departure of the two charter
ed steamers. They will leave Oregon
City at nine o'clock, instead of at
eight a week from Monday morning.
It has also been determined to have
them suitably decorated, and every
passnger will be expected to bring a
bouquet of roses to the dock. These
roses will be used in gracing the ves
sels, and in welcoming Rex Oregonus
and his court to Portland for the Rose
Festival.
W7hile coffee and sandwiches will
be provided by the Live Wires as re
freshments for those who go on the
trip, it has been suggested that in
view of the length of the voyage that
basket lunches might be acceptable.
No objection will be made to such re
freshment, and any who desire to
bring more than they can themselves
eat will probably find hungry fellow
passengers who will be glad to share
the good things with them.
mountain water for the. patrons of
the Chautauqua.
For genuine picturesqueness, Glad
stone park cannot be excelled. It is
situated near the scenic banks of the
Clackamas river, in the townsite of
Gladstone. There are 75 acres in the
tract, with thousands of tall straight
pine and fir trees, that furnish ample
shade for ideal camp life. Usually
there are about three hundred tents
on the grounds, which loom up like
the camp of an army a few days be
fore the sessions begin. There is a
quaint little lake in the north part of
the park, where the Chautauqua fam
ilies gathert between sessions to rest
on its shady banks. The banks of
the Clackamas, too, are each evening
lined with Chautauqua patrons, who
run down from the park to enjoy an
evening picnic supper, or to try their
luck in catching the gamy trout.
These -features, however, are all
aside from the intellectual side of
Chautauqua life.
" - The directors charge a price for
the season tickets that is based ab
solutely on cost. For an expenditure
of ?2.0() the patron is entitled to ev
erything on the 13day program, twenty-four
big programs m the main aud
itorium, and at least 50 lectures in
the various classes and lectures along
thought and activities of the present
day. On can readily see that this
sum is the absolute minimum. The
people behind the Chautauqua move
ment, however, are all big, broad
minded men and women of the com
munity, who are willing to give their
time and efforts with absolutely no
hpe of remuneration. Had the Wil
lamette valley Chautauqua -been a
commercialized Chautauqua, it never
would have reached its healthy time
tried proportions. The history of the
movement in this country clearly
shows that the Chautauqua graveyard
is filled with the tombstones of the
"commercialized". Chautauquas,
where directors, in their anxiety to
"come out ahead," thereby administ
ered the fatal blow to the institution
they were attempting to build up.
For exactly 20 years the Willamette
Valley Chautauqua directors have not
permitted the commercial side of
their assembly to influence their ac
tions. That largely accounts -..for
their success. '
Double Launching Ceremony
BALTIMORE, Md., May 31. Two
magnificent passenger steamers built
by the Chesapeake Steamship com
pany for service between Baltimore

For Alabama Senatorship
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 31
The coming week will see the begin
ning of Congressman Richmond P.
Hobson's active campaign for the
seat of United States Sentor Joseph
F. Johnston, whose successor is to be
selected at the next primary election
in Alabama. Mr. Hobson plans a
speech-making tour lasting several
weeks and covering the entire state.
Outward and visible signs are already
abundant that the senatorship fight
will be one of the most spirited Ala
bama has seen in years. Senator
Johnston will be a candidate for re
election, though . the state " of his
health may limit his campaign activ
ities. Formal announcement of the
candidacy of Congressman Clayton or
Congressman Underwood, and possi
bly both of them, is expected at an
early date. -
STRATEGY IS GOOD
Warning Constable Jack Frost that
he had better arm himself heavily
and be on his guard, Augusta Baun,
of Ardenwald, appeared in Justice
Sievers' court Saturday and demand
ed the arrest of Minnie Stewart, of
the same place, following an alterca
tion in which the two women engag
ed. The complainant was quite sure
hat the woman she wanted arrested
was "dangerous," and told the officer
to "watch out or she'll get ahead of
you."
Constable Frost took the advice
and went to Ardenwald. Somewhat
later he came back with Minnie Stew
art, and there were no signs of
trouble, nor was the constable carry
ing any noticeable amount of artil
lery. The two women will tell the
court their troubles next week, when
Justice Sievers will decide wno was
to blame and how much.
Asked if he had found his prisoner
"dangerous," Constable Frost smiled,
and said there had been no desperate
encounter. "I just talk to the wom
en, and they come along," he said, re
vealing the secret of his success.
FORD REFUSES
FURTHER ORDERS
The Ford Motor Co., of Detriot,
MSch., on May 5, stopped taking .ord
ers for cars, and will accept no addi
tional orders until October 1, which
marks the commencement of the com
mencement of the company's next
manufacturing year. With the com
pletion of this year's business, the
company will have made approximate
ly 193,000 machine, or very close to
the 200,000 mark that had been set.
The company is now buying lots for
25,000 machines a time, and is plan
ning extensive additions to the al
ready immense plant. These addi
tions, while extensive, are less for
the purpose of increasing the fac
tory's output of cars than for sup
plying an adequate replacement serv
ice frothe enormous number of Ford
cars in use.
