Mary Boland Tad John. Warren Josh I.Paul Dickey Denton Clay Boyd Buckley Ira A. Hards Farley David Swim Butler F. A. Turner Black Eagle Ira A. Hards THE rebellious baritone of savagery in the larger part restrained by the strong leash of convention at times breaking the trammels and asserting its primordial right to a hearjng and being heard. That is tho dominant note of "Strongheart," a significant American drama which Robert Edeson and his com pany gave Portland to see last night at the Heilig. The savagery that will not down and be mute is not all Indian It Is Caucasian as well the ancient barbarism of racial prejudice which civilization has not yet become strong enough to master. Young William De Mille is a worthy son of his sire if lie has not in fact done a greater work while still In his twenties than his father accomplished in a lifetime. The young author haa the true dramatic Instinct and he has philos ophy, for his play deals boldly and hon estly with a problem that we brother Americans, red and white and black, have travailed vainly in bloody suffering to solve. College football Is the frame upon which the drama Is hung, but it really matters very little. The football game which fills the second act is the weak est of the four, but it is necessary purely in an "episodic way. The vexing question may an Indian who is a gentleman marry one of our white gentlewomen? Here is the gist of the thing and the thoughtful treatment 'of this problem is what lifts the play into a place of large importance in our dra matic literature. Robert Edeson has done something for which our actors have tried time out of mind without suoess. Ho has given us an educated Indian who rings true. He has created a part that must In com mon fairness place him in a particular niche when the history of our stage is written. To a considerable extent tho play in this instance is the thuig.'hut Its chief character entrusted lo a weakling: would be ruinous. Mr. Edeson has achieved so well that the carping fault finder is disarmed. Hs is identified and definitely placed. If he should never do anything else in his career he will be remembered as the man who held an unclouded mirror up to nature and gave the .stage a sincere portrayal of the modern American aborigine. Never once does he cheapen his work or sound out of tune and to do that is the highest art. In a distinct line of acting he surpasses and it is enough. Ho is still a young man, but whether he will do anything else better or so well is a, matter of speculative Inter est. For some years he has been known s a good actor. . Ho may have struck 12 and he may not. It is only of present importance to us that he gave h masterly performance in Port land last night. The company with which he has sur rounded himself, while not u brilliant one. squares up well with tha requirement. EXPANSION JUSTIFIED The expansion which the OREGON TRUST & SAV INGS BANK, of Portland, has lately indulged in is evi dently justified by the totals which it has now attained. IT HAS OVER A MILLION OF DEPOSITS. Two years ajro they were forty thou sand. The bank has shown a preat deal of taste in the tit ting up of its new banking room, which occupies one of the most central locations of Portland. IT MOVED INTO TIIE LOCALITY WHERE THE BUSINESS IS. AND, BY FITTING UP SUPERB BANKING QUARTERS, DI RECTED BUSINESS TO ITSELF. Their publicity matter is always of the first class. The total resources of the bank are a million and a quarter. W. II. Moore is president; E. E. Lytle, vice president ; W. Cooper Morris, cashier, and H. A. Graves as sistant cashier. Chicago Banker, Nov. 10, 1906. FRANK L SMITH Pft 226-228 ALDER ST. lULil 1 XjXJ.

That the refreshing comedy of the piece is brought well to the fore is largely to be credited to Frank J. Mcliitlre as the fat senior and center of the Columbia football team. Mr. Mclntire's manner of playing telling humor is delightful. As Nelson, the girl's brother, Francis Bann made a favorable impression, as did Sidney Ainsworth in the part of Thorne, a gentlemanly crook of the type all too familiar to college life. Mary Boland. sometime since a member of the Baker Company, is a pretty, win some actress; who was satisfactory as the girl whose heart would lead her across the social dead line to marry the red man whom she loved. The women In the play are not given much to do. Miss boland's part is a rather colorless one and the others arc merely trimmings. They look well, dress well and don't get in the way. That is all they are expected to do. The other men "in .the support pass muster. The second act, whicli occurs in the dressing room of the football team during the progress of a game is a disappoint ment. It lacks dramatic force. The author would have done better had he made it a bit more melodramatic, re gardless of the danger of being stereo typed. He should have disabled another Columbia player in the last half and made It necessary for "Strongheart" to go in and make the winning touchdown, in stead of giving him a descriptive mono logue as an onlooker from the dressing room door. The act doesn't thrill one as it should it lacks "go." The intense situation of the third act. when the inherent feeling against color overcomes the feelings of friendship in which "Strongheart," "Nelson," "Living ston" and the "Dorothy" skirmish with their emotions when the love of the In dian for the girl is made known to the others, the beautiful wooing of the two, as they huddle about the gratefire as they once before had sat by a campfire. the parting in the last act when the young chief decides to do his duly by his peo ple and give up his love and the finale with Strongheart, as he says it, "stand lng In the midst of a desert all alone"- are the incidents which make the play a dramatic triumph. We should be grateful to De Mille for giving his play a logical ending rather than a conventional one. It proves him honest and faithful to the tenets of art. The company's scenery did not arrive and last night's production was a make shift one but the house scenery made little difference, a bare stage would have made little difference. "Strongheart" will be repeated tonight, tomorrow night and at a Saturday mat inee. The regular production is expected today and will be used in the subsequent performance. Don't miss a rare treat.
