(N a curtain speech which he made last
night in response) to insistent calls.
Max Fisman promised to return to Fort
land often, which promise was received
with sincere applause by the Audience,
for Mr. Figrrjan is an odds-on favorite
here, and it is all settled in advance that
lie will be) greeted enthusiastically by lo
cal theatergoers whenever he comes
back.
He came to the HelHg last night, after
year's absence to repeat his former
success in the McGrath-Furness comedy,
"The iManlnn the Box." Last year the
play, and the performance of it, left a
lasting impression which will be accentu
ated by the present engagement.
Dramatized novels are as a rule un
satisfactory, particularly -when that novel
has been one of "the six best sellers,"
and everybody and his brother has read
It. Those who penused the story expect
impossibilities of the dramatist and the
actors. In the Instance of "The Man
en the Box," however, there Is .a marked
exception. As a play it is equal, if not
superior, to the novel.
Few stars possess Figman's many-sidedness
in interpreting: comedy roles. His
' breeziness, freedom from affectation,
sonse of humor and intelligence in in
terpretation stamp him an actor of merit.
He Is going to London in the Spring with
his present vehicle, and unless I miss my
calculation by a nautical mile he will win
bis British audiences as he has those on
this side. This is the second season he
has played the daredevil army man, who,
In a spirit of practical Joking, dons the
livery of a coachman, gets himself in a
fine mess, plays the lackey to the wom
an he has determined to marry, thwarts
an international conspiracy and- emerges
a smiling and debonnaire bridegroom
elect. The comedy romps along on sprightly
legs through three fascinating acts to a
not illogical denouement. And Flgman, as
Bob 'Worburton. is almost continuously
on the stage, dominating each of these
acts, not because he is the star, with
the star's prerogatives, but because he
Is the life of the performance. He has
a fashion of taking the audience into his
confidence, enjoys the Joke with them
and makes them feel like slapping him
on the back for a right-down good fel
low.. Another merit mark in his favor
Is that in his second season In the part
he shows no signs of going stale. His
work this year is as wholesome and re
freshing as last. He totes fair with the
public.
The supporting company is also equal
in all respects to last year's. There is no
attempt to trade on former successes. The
new leading woman, Fannie Martnoff, is
young, with all the charm of real in
geniousness. vivacity, enthusiasm, nat
uralness and sincerity. She hasn't been
on the stage long enough to learn the
tricks of the trade. There couldn't have
been a better selection for the part of
the dainty little madcap heroine.
The Russian diplomat, as played by
John Charles Brownell, establishes that
actor as a character artist par excel
lence. His poise, accent, makeup and
fidelity to the verities -cannot be too
highly commended. He remains in the
cast from last season. Bertha Krieghoff
and Cameron Clomens. who appear as the
society bud and the newspaper writer,
who are very much betrothed and quite
essential to the unravelling of the tangled
web of the story, do excellently well.
Marshall Franklin makes an exception
ally good Irish policeman and Bernice
Buck plays a housemaid most attractive
ly. There Is very little "deadwood," take
the cast as a whole.
John Cort, under whose auspices "The
Man on the Box" is presented, has lav
ished money on a production that is a
delight to the eye. There will bo per
formances tonight, Tuesday' night and
Christmas afternoon and night.
"Why Girls Leave Home
at The Empire
"W
FHY Girls Leave Home" opened
week's engagement at. the
Empire Theatre with two crowded per
formances yesterday. Contrary to the
idea given by reading the title, the
piece runs along smoothly and does not
verge- on the risque or offensive. It is
a simple, everyday tale of a girl who,
hampered by the anxiety of a some
what domineering brother. Is driven to
seek the very companions ho endeavors
to persuade her are unfit for her com
pany. In the plot of the pleco figures
an adventuress, who was formerly a
flame of the brother, and who meets
the sister In a cafe, and . in order to
secure vengeance on the man, plots the
girl's downfall.
The play itself comprises five acts,
during which the auditor Is taken
through varied and exciting seems.
The quarrel between brother and sister,
which results in the brother be ng
compelled by circumstances to believe
himself the murderer of his sister, is
one of the strongest scenes of the play.
Frank J. Regg, as Dan Sherwood,
the brother, is a capable actor and
enacts the trying role In the most ap
proved manner. Miss Pearl Laurent,
as Pearl Stusrwood, the sister and he
roine of the piece. Is an accomplished
actress, and her rendition of tlie role
of a Btrong-willed girl who believes
herself above reproach from her own
brother. Is excellent. She is espeiially
strong In her scene with Leslie Webb,
who eesays the role of the male villain,
Joreph White, at the roadhou.se, where
she pleads for her liberty In order that
she may secure her brother'3 releas3
from prison.
William Weston, as Johnny Hobblns,
Is a clever comedian of no little merit.
Miss Morrison, as his foil, is tqually
good. As Dolly Fletcher, the adven
turess, she succeeded in gaining a
large number of hisses whl.;h is the
usual . method adopted In displaying
ones' approval of the enactment of a
villainous role. The balance of the
cast Is capable. The show will continue
all week.

CONGRATULATIONS, honest and sin
cere, are due Manager Healy and the
merry band of singers constituting the
San Francisco Opera Company. These
congratulations also; go , to Director
Buerchner and his orchestra. All this
because of the excellence of the Christ
mas week - attraction, at the Marcftiam,
"The Toymaker," than 'which no. bet
ter show has been given in Portland
this season. There are two or three
good reasons why the rendition calls
for somewhat extravagant praise, the
first and most Important being perfect
rehearsals; another the painstaking
work of the company.
Christmas week is regarded by theat
rical managers are the most difficult
one of the whole season, and in making
a selection for that week many hours
are devoted to studying conditions and
"feeling the pulse" of a community be
fore a choice Is settled - upon. It is
extremely doubtful If the San Fran
ciscans could have made a wiser choice
than that of Manager Healy.
Besides containing some really high
class music, "The Toymaker," as Mr.
Healy has put it on, is full of good
fun, and the show as a spectacle is
surely what is known in the vernacular
as a "winner." Nothing approaching
the piece from a spectacular point of
view has been seen in Portland in many
a day. The toyshop, with mechanical
figures in motion, and "transformation"
effects, brought "ohs" and "ahs" from
all parts of the packed house yester
day. The story is what young women call
"cute," and while no modern comic
opera has yet been written absolutely
free from blemish, Healy's "Toymaker"
comes as near the mark as any.
Opening in a monastery, the big,
rich Cunningham voice, ably backed
up with the male chorus, furnished a
start in the musical numbers that had
no disappointments all through the
four scenes of the two-act comicality.
Arthur Cunningham's most satisfactory
number, "A Contented Mind," together
with his splendid acting, were enough
to well repay an evening at the thea
ter, and the male, chorus brought out
fully the requirements of the score.
Eugene Wiener, too, was excellent
both vocally and historically. George
Kunkel kept his audience screaming
with .laughter all the evening. His
dialect in the character of Johannus
Guggenhelmer, "the most vondervul in
wentioner in the vorld." is simply de
licious and his topical songs with, local
hits caught the house.
Miss.Hemmi makes a stunning boy as
Peter; Miss Beatty has a fine companion
part ' to Kunkel. and the young women'
who take the animated doll parts are be
yond criticism.
- "The Toymaker" brought to Daphne
Pollard-the opportunity of her young life
and it was a real pleasure to see how the
little lady rose to the occasion. Those
of the audience who had seen Annie
Meyers as the doll In San Francisco went
to the Marquam with the Idea that Miss
Meyers' personation would never ' be
equaled. We came away with that im
pression revised. Daphne Pollard made
a disttnet hit in the part yesterday, .and
when "the time has added a tit-to the
youngster's upper voice register she will
be as nearly perfect in such parts as the
doll as is ever given to girls who choose
light opera for their calling.
A genuine surprise was a feature of the
return of the company, in the person of
William Harris, who moved up from the
Baker to take a part in the fun. The
surprise was in the discovery that Harris,
as well as being a good actor, can sing
that is. some.
This is the last week in Portland for
the company,
ARRANGE TO REOPEN BANK
Officers of the Merchants National
Work for Reorganization.
President J. Frank Watson, of the Mer
chants' ' National Bank, will begin today
to arrange for the reopening of that bank.
On his return from Washington late Sat
urday night he announced that the bank
would reopen as soon as the preliminaries
could be arranged, and he will set to
work at ouce upon the details. It Is not
expected that these matters will require
more than a few weeks, sd within 60 days
all should be ready for the doors of the
institution to swing open again.
President Watson had not had an op
portunity to confer with other officers
of the bank yesterday, but will begin this
work today, and it Is probable that with
in a few days a definite announcement
of his plan can be made. In a general
way this will consist of enlarging the
capital stock of the bank and in collect
ing outstanding accounts so as to pro.
vide a larger cash reserve. By this means
it is believed the bank will reopen short
ly without any difficulty.
There will be meetings today between
President Watson and the directors of
the bank, when he will tell of his re
cent conferences with the Controller of
the Currency. That the bank is solvent
and can reopen has been generally be
lieved since the day It was forced to
suspend. That Controller Rldgely and
Bank Examiner Wilson found It so after
an exhaustive Inquiry is disclosed by the
results of President Watson's trip East.

MILAN, Dec. 21 Enrico Toselli, " the
music master, who married former Crown
Princess Iouise, of Saxony, gave his first
concert here tonight since his marriage.
The hall was crowded and interest
reached a climax when Signora Toselli,
the Countess Montlgnoso, elegantly
costumed, entered taking a conspicuous
place among the audience. Slgnor Toselli
at first was coldly received, but soon the
audience began to show appreciation and
applauded him liberally, the Countess
looking immensely pleased each time he
waS recalled.
A noticeable feature of the concert was
the entire absence of the Milsnese aristocracy.

' BT ARTHUR A. GPENE.
THERE is a suggestion of Christmas
in the atmosphere of "A Midnight
Bell," the pastoral comnrty-drama, into
which the late Charles Hoyt wrote the
best of himself, which is irresistible
to those of us whose memories go wan
dering back to Yuletlde seasons in the
country "away -back yonder." It brings
the bracing breath of real, old-fashioned
Winter with it and makes a fel
low almost believe - in Santa Claus
again to see the old-fashioned red mit
tens and " "comforters" and the kids
coasting "belly-buster.""
Hoyt Is perhaps best known as a
farceur because of the fact that almost
all the work he left Is of that order,
but that he could also write legitimate
comedy is well demonstrated In this
piece. -There is a distinct plot, which,
if not novel, is distinctively human;
the story of a wayward youth who
assumes the responsibility of a bank
robbery to shield his old uncle who
has been his benefactor, from the false
accusations of a genuine villain in the
person of his trusted employe, who is
the real culprit. : There are three
normal and refreshing: romances in
volved and & stagefull of village types,
not greatly exaggerated, the whole
garnished with typical Hoyt witticisms
and a few specialties which come
about naturally instead of being
dragged in by the hair as Is too often
the case In ther Hoyt pieces.
If my recollection serves me right,
this is the third time the Baker com
panies have performed the play since
the original company held forth at
George Baker's playhouse, some five
years ago. Three of the original mem
bers of that company are- in the pres
ent cast, Mlna Crollus Gleason, William
Dills and Howard Russell, each playing
the role in which they had appeared
in two previous seasons.
The characterization which Mr. Dl'ls
gives of Deacon Lemuel Tldd has be
come a local elassic. It is positively
the best comedy work he has ever
done here, and without hlra the per
formance would be another case of
"Hamlet" without the Melancholy Dane.
The homely humor with which he in
vests the part is as grateful to Jaded
city theatergoers as would be a glass
of the rare old New England cider
which the deacon loved so well. Mr.
Dills enjoyed a double triumph yester
day, for his acting of the favorite part
was the feature of the show which will
prove the strongest Inducement to the
public during the week, and the pro
duction,, the first to be credited to him
since he assumed the directorship of
the Baker stage, is one of the most
complete and realistically correct that
lias-been our good fortune to see in a
very lone; time.- This ts undeniably
"Billy" Dills' week at the Baker.
The leading people, Miss Barney and
Mr. Webb,, yield the center of the
etage very gracefully and give their
best efforts to roles that are almost
minor ones, the' former as the school
ma'am, and the latter as the village
parsorfv Howard Russell and Maribel
Seymour make themselves Indispensa
ble as the verdant choreboy and the
soubrcttish minister's sister, respect
ively. A good portion of the laughter
elicited is to be credited to them, al
though Mr. Russell is entirely too gro
tesque and Miss Seymour is much too
soubrettisli to be legitimate. An ex
cellent interpretation of the character
of Labarse. the crooked bank cashier,
is given by Robert Homans, who care
fully avoids the temptation to be melo
dramatic. Mlna Gleason makes the husband
hurting old maid deliclously funny,
and Louise Kent, who is seen as the
Widow Grey, proves again that she is
a comedienne of merit. James Gleason
does himself credit for the quiet dig
nity and reserve with which he plays
the Boston Lawyer, and Donald Bowles,
as the self-sacrificing scapegoat, is in
fine form. The Squire Olcott of Earl
rwlre, and the flirtatious ctioir singer,
as played by Fay Balnter, are cleverly
done, while Elsie Garrett appears ad
vantageously as the winsome daughter
of the positive widow.
No better bill for the holiday season
could have been chosen. There will be
a special Christmas matinee on
Wednesday.
"Queen. of the White
Slaves" at The Star
SANTA CLAUS, in the person of Man
ager R. E.- French, presented the
people of Portland yesterday, at least
that large contingent who are patrons
of the Star Theater, with the first in
stallment, of their Christmas present.
The holiday week offering is one of Al
Woods' successes, "Queen of the White
Slaves," and while it. I not considered
"nice" to refer to the price of holiday
presents, it is nevertheless true that
Mr. French's offering is the most ex
pensive ever secured for Star friends.
Royalty Is higher, costumes more ex
pensive and settings more elaborate
than anything seen at the attraction
corner in years.
Starting with a realistic set showing
a music hall in San Francisco in the
days before the fire, the Barbary Coast
types are seen in all their roughness
as to men and all their cheap finery as
to women. It is in this dance hall
where the abduction of a white trirl is
plotted, and after drugging the frill's
brother, the white man makes a tool
of the rich Chinaman, who carries the
whole party concerned to sea on his
yacht, and in mid ocean some of the
best "business" is Introduced, and a
life raft on which the drugged 'brother
and his friend, the man in love with
the abducted girl, are set adrift is the
sort of spectacle that causes a shiver
to run. through the house. The set
showing the Chinese Prince's palace is
extremely well done, and the action
here is also of the hair-raising sort,
especially the dungeon where the
"Terrible Nine" meet to torture their
prisoners. '
All the strength of the Fren ;h Com
pany Is called into the cast, and In ad
dition about a' dozen extra people are
employed in this production.
George Berry, as the Chinese Prince,
is magnificent as to costume and
smooth and oily as necessary to ".he
part of. the abductor; Frank Seaward
does an excellent piece of work In the
character of the scoundrel who is re

gence in the poor devil of a brother
who falls victim to the wiles of the
designing Grimes; St. George Daglenn,
as the girl's fiance,' does his customary
good work; Charles Conners does the
best darky work yet seen by that fa
vorite comedian; Frank Hoye and the
other men are satisfactory.
Elizabeth Hale, as the abducted girl,
never looked better than in the white
gowns she wears, and her acting met
the requirements of a most difficult
role: Eva Earle French, as Mustang
Mattie, brought out cheers when she
rose superior to the temptations of

SEATTLE MURDERER IS AR
RESTED IN PORTL-AXD.
Colored Pastor Dies in Hospital &i
His Assailant Is Placed .Under
Arrest " In Another City.
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 22. As Mar
shall Combs, a colored porter, was
breathing his last in the Wayside Hos
pital late this afternoon, word was re
ceived from- the Portland police that
Horace Bailey, alias Harris Brown, was
arrested for the crime of murder.
Bailey has been the object of search
by the Seattle police ever since last
Tuesday, when Combs, covered with
blood, was found almost insensible In
a chair car at the Union Depot. Only
once did Combs regain consciousness,
and then he feebly whispered that
Brown had made the assault upon him
which caused his death today. Brown
was the last one seen with Combs, al
though the arrested man denies he was
ever in Seattle.
Combs intended taking a trip to
Kansa--City, and at the time of the
assault he had $130 in gold and a valu
able watch. The watch was taken, but
no cash, as the money was secreted in
a belt about Combs' body. A heavy
peavey handle covered with blood near
Combs' body told the story, of the
weapon used by his assailant.
City Detective Adams will go to
Portland tomorrow to bring Bailey or
Brown to Seattle to stand trial.
PASTOR GETS THE MONEY
Tells Congregation He Must Have
x$50,000 and They Give It.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Addressing
his wealthy congregation at the close
of the sermon yesterday, Dr. C. A.
Acked, who recently came from Liver
pool to become pastor of the Fifth
avenue Baptist Church here, declared
that he would not contemplate a per
manent ministry in the church if the
system of finance which made possible
a deficiency at the end of the year
was continued.
"I want," said Mr. Acked, "$50,000
from you before you leave this church
this morning."
He got it.
He said the fact that some members
of the congregation were wealthy had
led others to put the burden of the
support of the church on them.
. "It is not fair; it is a mean spirit,"
exclaimed Dr. Acked. "It has raised
up a crowd of stingy souls, who won't
support the church. It Is not fair to
me. I am tired of hearing this church
called Mr. Smith's,. Mr. Brown's, or Mr.
Robinson's church. The finances must
be reorganized so that nothing of this
kind can ever happen again."
