"The Battle of Life
at the Empire
Wf ITH one scene in the shadSw of
v Mount Shasta and another in the
Yosemite Valley; with sturdy miners and
civil engineers; the daughter of a Mexi
can who is brought up in the mining
country without knowledge of her
parentage; a smooth scamp who person
ates her father in a scheme to gain the
fortune belonging to that Individual; a
discarded wife who foils the plans of the
schemer and the material for "The Bat
tle of Life" is furnished. The company
presenting this exciting drama at the
Empire this week Is of a mixed charac
ter, containing both mediocre and good
members.
Miss Ethel Tucker, well and favorably
known in stock in the Sound cities, does
by far the best work, and in the difficult
role of the wife, cruelly abandoned to
make her own way in the world, rises to
the occasion in some strong- scenes with
the man who endeavors to keep her quiet
oy tnreats and actual brutality. She
reads her lines intelligently and at times
forcefully.
The Mexican girl as done by Miss Ann
Phillips has too little suggestion of her
alien blood, but she plays the part of the
pet of the mountaineers prettily at times,
only she should know that girls in the
Yosemite, even at the hotels, seldom
wear white canvas Oxfords.. She does
her best work after her scheming suitor
is unmasked. .
Pearl Lee McCowcll can probably do
better In other parts than she does as
the old maid with matrimonial inclina
tions. Victor J. Donald is far from being con
vincing as the schemer his duplicity is
much too appanrnt. He makes a good
appearance and has a good stage voice.
L. G. Tynell drops Into the old miner
character whenever he can think of it,
and looks the part according to book
traditions.
R. L. Butler makes a new type of Irish
man out of Paddy McCarey, but succeeds
in raising an occasional laugh, and that
is probably all that was intended In cre
ating the part.
Coe G. Butler is sufficiently austere as
the captain, but lacks the softness and
tenderness supposed to belong to the
chap who finally "wins the girl."
Finally, now that the "grouch" is satis
fied, it must be admitted that "The Battle
of Life" has some mighty good material
in it and, so far as Joseph Barnett, the
author. Is concerned, he is to be congrat
ulated on having put together an inter
esting and exciting play which will
doubtless draw well this week.
Wireless Police Signals.
Scientific American.
An ingenious use for wireless telegra
phy Is projected in Berkeley, Cal. A pole
has been erected on the site of the new
town hall, and experiments are being
made to test the feasibility of summon
ing policemen from their beats in the
event of any emergency call. The receiv
ing station will be placed in the helmets
of the men. When a message Is wnt out
a bell is rung in the patrolman's' pocket
and the message itself recorded in dots
and dashes.

NOT to have seen Clay Clement in one
of his most finished creations,
"Baron Hohenstauffen," is not to have
seen one of the great actors of the day
in one of the most charming plays of
this or any other day. In "The New
Dominiott," of which the eminent actor
is author, and in which he opened a
week's engagement at the Marquam yes
terday," there is presented a study in
characters that are lovable and altogether
human. The charm of the play lies in
its ever-present simplicity, in that not
one strained effort for mere effect mars
the beautiful unfolding of the story. The
comedy Is of that high order one finds
in the classics. There is an absence of
coarseness and grossness. Mr. Clement's
Hohenstauffen suggests intimate associa
tion with cultured Germans, an intimacy
Mr. Clement enjoyed when a student at
Heidelberg, for the Baron in the play is
of noble birth and is gentle as an old
gardener. , ,
After Colonel ' R. G. Ingersoll saw
Mr. Clement for the first time in this
part, he, wrote the actor a letter in
which he said: "The Hohenstauffen of
your creation has the culture of the uni
versity, the high breeding of the court,
the courage of the army and the
courtesy and tenderness of the perfect
gentleman." Those words describe beyond
the ability of writers of lesser attain
ments an estimate of Clay Clement's
creation and of his exemplification of that
character as strong as it is deserved.
Goodwin has his Maxine; Clement his
Kathleen. Miss Kerrigan, as the South
ern girl, who so completely captivates
the German philosopher, that the poor
man almost loses his mind in his frantic
efforts to make her understand his
broken sentences and comprehend his
love, is one of the striking beauties of
the American stage, and also possesses
true dramatic talent. In her love scenes
she is Irresistibly winning and when she
tells her father her heart belongs to the
absent Baron she fairly scintillates with
dramatic fire.
"The New Dominion" was presented
yesterday for the first time in Portland
by the present company; In fact, except
the one performance "in the provinces"
meaning Astoria Saturday night, it was
the company's first public appearance as
an organization. Mr. Clement compli
mented Portland by assembling his new
company in this city, and from their ad
mirable work last night land yesterday
afternoon he is to be congratulated on
the support he has gathered around him.
Of course, the Baron is the chief char
acter; in great comedies Interest usually
centers In the star part, and, usually too,
stars are rarely surrounded by other than
mediocre people. Not so with Mr.
Clement's company. There is not a
weak spot in his support.
The Southern planter, as portrayed by
Martin Rutledge. is second only to Mr.
Clement's Baron as a perfect type, and
the old-time Southern atmosphere is
sustained from the darkeys' singing be
fore the first curtain rises until every
body takes a Christmas mug of nog at
the finale.
Little Miss Lucy Blake weeps and
sobs through her trials and tribulations
until she has her auditors about over
como in their sympathy for her wrongs.
Miss Viva and Miss Darling are valuable
additions to the company. J. J. Sambrook
makes the old darky house' servant one
of the sort rapidly disappearing in the
South, but who were highly esteemed In
the' olden days. Mr. Clement, who can
Je relied upon to always do the grace
ful thing, appeared hand in hand with
Napoleon In response to a recall.
H. G. Lonsdale, fresh from his suc
cesses In the East, got into the spirit of
the play remarkably well, considering
that he knows the South, only as knowl
edge of its home life has wandered to
England through books and travelers'
letters. His American young lawyer was
satisfactorily done. William Conklin Is
cast in the only character In the play
that calls for disapproval. As the scion
of a "carpetbagger's family," he makes
the hard drinker a chap more to be pitied
than despised, and keeps away from over
doing the "relaxation."
It is doubtful " If Portland will soon
have the opportunity to see again a
theatrical production carrying so many
finished actors.

Yetive Izetta Jewel
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
THE very first performance of
"Graustark" ever given here oc
curred at the Baker yesterday after
noon and met with the approval of a
large audience. It served to inaugu
rate the second week of Izetta Jewel's
engagement as leading woman, in- the
role of Princess Yetive, who reigns
over one of those imaginary pocket
edition, trouble-in-the-Balkans princi
palities which completely surround
Anthony Hope and George Barr Mc
Cutcheon. Miss Jewell had already
made a very favorable impression
through her work as Nance Olden,
which impression is strengthened de
cidedly by her delightful, personation
of Yetive. .
The princess is girlish, whimsical and
impulsive, as Miss Jewel plays her, and
therefore .the popular impression of
very young and very fascinating novel
heroines with a side line of family a,nd
temporal power, Is justified. The viva
cious young actress is fitted in every
particular to make much of the part
and gives a most agreeable perform
ance. The McCutcheon novel, from which
the play is made, has been a popular
book for several years. In fact, at
one time it got into the "best six"
class. It is told In breezy newspaper
style, and while the story Is not at all
novel, it is one of the kind people
stay awake to read. It deals with the
love affair of a certain Grenfell Lorry
and this Fluffy Ruffles princess, which
affair commences in this country while
the lady Is entour incog. In fact the
young people begin to act a trifle dopey
on a Union Pacific train, No. 9 I be
lieve, on the way East from Denver.
Lorry and his friend, Anguish, after
ward go to Graustark in search of ad
ventures and the girl of the train In
cident, without knowing her to be such
a toppy person.
They have adventures a-plenty, with
rapiers and pistols, dungeons, under
ground passages, thrones, treasons,
stratagems and spoils. Lorry finally
wins the princess and the last curtain
falls upon a deliriously happy inter
national episode.
Adapted to the stage "Graustark" Is
a very pretty romance, although not a
cohesive or striking drama. The five
acts are interesting, but their relation
towards each other do not form a con
nected narrative.
Next to Miss Jewel the most credit
able individual performance Is given by
Denton Vane, a new member of the
company who made his first appearance-
yesterday. Mr. Vane is on for
only a. few minutes, but he reads his
lines so well, carries himself with such
an air and Is so sure of his work,
that he looms up as very important to
the success of the play.
A tolerably well acted role Is Gren
fell Lorry, the adventurous young
American, as done by Robert Homans,
who seems to have settled into leading
parts quite naturally. I,orry is far
from Homan's best work, however, and
does not nearly measure up to his
performance of Latimer in "In the
Bishop's Carriage." Donald Bowles is
quite satisfactory as Anguish, the
hero's lieutenant, although he does not
seem to exert himself sufficiently to
be conscientious. Howard Russell is
decidedly funny as the American bell
boy. James Gleason is effective as the
villainous Prince Gabriel, while Jklari
bel Seymour maintains her excellent
standard, although she has but a bit.
Scenically "Graustark" is all that
could be desired. It will continue all
wce'k as usual.
"Adrift In the World"
at the Star
STAR patrons have an opportunity
again this week to see the designing
villain foiled at every stage of the game
and to finally meet his just fate and to
see the "heerow" come off triumphant in
the end with a bullet wound In one arm
and the heiress hanging onto the other.
'"Adrift In the World" starts in New
York where some first-class character
work Is introduced by several members of
the company, and then jumps to the
Rocky Mountains, where the serious work
of the plot is worked out.
Some unusual characters are introduced
in the opening of the play, one being a
young "journalist," whatever that may
mean probably .a newspaper man out of
a job. The action and dialogue of this
play are of the rapid-fire order, giing
the listener hardly time to catch his
breath bet-ween thrillers. Comedy is giv
en much prominence, and in such capable
hands as Charles Conners, Frank Sea
ward, Frank Howe, Charles Burnlson,
Leah LaForce and Kathleen Taylor, there
Is plenty of laughter to sandwich in be
tween the heart throbs and breath-stopping
situations.
St. George Daglenn has done much bet
ter work in other things than he does as
the lover In this drama probably he is
handicapped by the printed programme
entitling him a "journalist.'" that's enough
to queer any impersonation, especially
when the programme is the only, clew to
the character supposed to be represented.
As Mother O'Marrah, Eva Earle French
has but little to do, but of course does
that little with carefulness to detail and
situations. In the part of her brute of a
husband. George Berry makes the charac
ter as strong as required and weakens at
the end, as all cowardly ruffians do In
real life.
Miss Davis, in the lead again, is ex
cellent. It is a positive pleasure to see
this actress In any part she essays, for
she is always letter perfect and is one of
the most conscientious people on the stage
today.
The recent acquisition to the company,
Miss Jessie Stuart, is a' success. She is
not unknown to audiences in this part of
the country, having recently been doing
good work at Vancouver and has been seen
occasionally In this city. Kathleen Taylor
is, as usual, doing her work prettily, but
it is a pity she has such difficulty 1n drop-

AMBITIOUS PLAN FAVORED
ADVERTISING MEX URGED TO
ENLARGE ASSOCIATION.
Member of Coast Organization
Thinks It Should Be Made a
Benevolent Society.
At the Oakland convention of the Pa
cific Coast Advertising Men's Association
R. M. Hall, the retiring president, on
leaving the chair urged that the plan of
holding a semi-annual convention be
abolished, and that annual sessions be
held, asking the members to consider this
question so that some action could be
taken at the Portland gathering In June.
Already Mr. Hall has received a number
of letters from a number of the leading
advertising men of the coast indorsing
his idea. A letter received yesterday
from Fred H. Drake, of Sacramento,
urges that such action be taken at Port
land and among other things he adds:
Great organizations have grown from
smaller associations than the P. C. A.
M. A. We are as great in numbers as
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
America, and we are a much older as
sociation. Why should we affiliate and
send 25 cents a member to this East
ern club, which has never thought of
us other than as easy money? Why
not ask them to affiliate with us? We
are the father lodge or association.
At Portland the P. C. A. M. A. should
be placed on the same footing as, for
instance, the Elks. The P. C. A. M. A.
should have both executive and legis
lative power over the local clubs; it
should bfe the father club, with power
to Issue a charter to every city that can
get seven or more men together who
are. either buyers, sellers or writers of
advertising; It should have a member
ship card and pin synonymous with
tile craft; its secretary should have a
record of the experience and ability of
every member and should help him to
ohlain a position when out of employ
ment. A monthly bulletin 'should he
published for the benefit of its mem
bers and a hospital fund would be a
splendid idea.
The secretary of the P. C. A. M. A.
should have power to put an organizer
in the field to organize new clubs and
grant charters. Each local club should
co-operate In methods of entertainment
and raising of funds. Every club
should, by come means, raise money
and send delegates to each annual con
vention (which should be in the Sum
mer) and in this way every club will
have its proper representation.
T. M. R. Keane. president of the Spo
kane Ad Club, Indorses the annual con
vention idea and adds:
"At our last meeting we took in more
than a dozen new members, and we are
going to have a jgood club. We are all
coming to Portland in June, 15 of the
members having already pledged them
selves to come."
Percey Goldenrath, of Vancouver, B.
C, writes:
"The advertising men of this city and
Victoria will unite with Seattle for the
Portland trip and we will make a fine
showing. We expect the Portland qon
ventlon will be the best ever held on the
coast, and our hearty support will be
given to make It such."
URGE M'MILLAN TO RUN
Friends Insist That He Become Can
didate for Legislature.
Friends of George W. McMillan are
more Insistent than ever that he should
become a candidate for the Legislature.
Particularly active in proposing McMil
lan's legislative candidacy are his friends
in the Multnomah Athletic Club who are
urging him to come out. For years Mr.
McMillan has been a resident of this city
and is prominent in business, social and
athletic circles. His high standing in
amateur athletics is shown by the fact
that at the recent election of officers of
the Multnomah Club he was re-elected
president. This was the first time in the
history of the organisation that a presi
dent of the club has been- elected to suc
ceed himself.
Ever since Mr. McMillan announced that
he would not enter the race for Sheriff,
because he could not spare the time from
his -business, his friends have busied
themselves in an effort to bring him out
for the Legislature, holding that he un
doubtedly would prove one of the strong
est candidates that could be named. Sat
isfied of his strength as a candidate, Mr.
McMillan's friends will renew their de
mands that he enter the race.
Should Mr. McMillan decide to become
a candidate, it is said he will not sub
scribe to Statement No. 1, but he has
made no definite announcement.
