HOWARD RUSSELL was called be fore the curtain twice yesterday afternoon and compelled to make a speech, before the audience would be satisfied to permit him to watch the first performance of his first play In what degree of peace and quiet a new author may feel on such an occasion. Yesterday was a field day for Mr. Rus sell at the Baker, and he -should feel very well satisfied with himself and the world this morning. It is some thing worth all it costs to achieve to accomplish some one ambition in life. For a considerable time, the. versatile young actor has been known to cherish aspirations to write for the stage. He has worked hard, with obstacles to overcome and disappointments to be met; but at last he is rewarded, for he seems to have struck the right note to have done something which has the genuine ring of merit. "The Swindler" Is a four-act comedy of contemporaneous life In New York. The theme Is not new, but it is handled In an original manner, and sorne of the situations are absolutely unique. The finale of the last act is so daringly different that the audience first sat still in amazement and then fairly lifted the roof with applause. It is one of the cleverest conceits in stagecraft I've seen in a long time. I decline to take the edge off by telling further about it. The plot concerns the operations of a certain gentleman adventurer, who engages In shady stock deals and other Irregularities until he finally stoops to forgery in collusion with a ( worthless son of a capitalist, who has welcomed him into his home and introduced him into Boclety. There is the inevitable love affair between him and the niece of the man he is engaged in swin dling. There is a secondary romance between a hard-headed bachelor banker and the willful and perverse daughter of the mechant-eapitalist. A number of well-drawn characters figure in the scheme of the play, and the dialogue is at times decidedly sprightly and ef fective, and at others impressive. There is a tendency to drag and there is en tirely too much talk, but these faults are common to all first performances. Some of the greatest modern successes have been practically rewritten after their try-out. It will not be necessary to go so far as that with "The Swin dler," by any means, but some changes will be found advisable. - For instance, there should be more comedy, and there are a few incon gruities that can be eliminated, to the betterment of the play. With some pruning and some additions, "The Swindler" should prove a success of no small proportions, and from all present appearances, Mr. Russell has given us a play which should yield him the fruits of his consistently honest efforts. The leading roles were capitally sus tained by Mr. Alison and Miss Jewel. The former's easy insouciance makes him the actor among hundreds to cre ate the role of Starlinger. Maribel Seymour gives a touching interpreta tion of the part of the slum waif; James Gleason has the most thankless and difficult task of any member of the cast in Billy, the scapegrace, but he does remarkably well. I would suggest that he might be more effective if he is the net amount drained out for life insurance premiums and sent to enrich Wisconsin, New York and other states by making their home companies the custodians of these trust funds from Oregon. Does anyone doubt that the commercial supremacy of New York was due to the centralization of the insurance assets in that market, more than to any other one factor? More money is handled by the insur ance companies than all the transportation companies " in the country, and it is the centralization of these immense accumula tions in one locality that makes that locality the seat of the financial empire. It is the personal interest of every citizen of Oregon to use his influence that Life Insurance be bought of OREGON LIFE and the money kept In Oregon for Oregon's development. OregOnlifC s a conservative and prosperous life insurance com pany, conducted on the same safe lines that have stood the test of time elsewhere. It has the additional advantage of being the only company confining its operations exclusively to Oregon, which has the lowest death rate of any state in the Union. Our home office is located here. All supplies are manufactured here. All officers and their families reside here. All our investments are in "Purely Oregon" securities. The premiums collected, as well as the interest on loans made, remain in Oregon. The premium rates are lower, the security to Oregon policy holders better than if the funds were invested in any other state. The dividends now being paid to Policyholders are universally satisfactory. Home Offlcet Cortett Bldg.. Corner Fifth and SIorrUoB Streets. Portland, Oregon A.

It Is hard to conceive of such a wholesome looking young man as Jimmie Gleason in his own proper person stooping to the things Billy is required to do. Louise Kent makes much of the rlleaslng part of Billy's sister. Donald Bowles is not at his happiest in the role of Stanley, the banker, and Alex ander Dale's voice seriously handicaps his performance as Elliot. He pos sesses considerable acting ability, but he pitches his voice on a monotonous dead level, which becomes tiresome. William Gleason shines as Altman, the broker, although he has little to do, and Lucile Webster does a bit so well that she is remembered as one of the distinctive features of the performance. The play has been produced under the eye of Mr. Russell, and is as fine as could be desired, the moonlight ef feot of the third act being rarely beau tiful. General Mixup" at The Star VESTERDAYS matinee Inaugurated another successful week of the en gagement of the Armstrong Comedy Company at the Star. This company has settled down to enjoy the fruits of its hard work earlier in the season be fore it was as well established as now. There is a distinct following for it her6 and the enthusiasm which greeted its latest effort yesterday afternoon was the best evidence of how it stands with the local public. "General Mixup" is a farce with music. It opens with a dashing medley by the chorus and runs the gamut of all sorts of tomfoolery, calculated to produce laughter. It has a military atmosphere and the scene is a campground. The plot Is trivial, so much so in fact that It is really im aginary. The principals carry their re spective roles with a considerable de gree of cleverness, While the chorus dis tinguishes itself with Its danses and song numbers. Will H. Armstrong appears advan tageously in the name part, Edward Armstrong as a flighty lieutenant arouses his share of the hilarity, Nicho las Cogley again scores as the crazy colonel, Magdaline Holly as the daugh ter of the regiment sustains her repu tation, while Ethel Davis in the sou brette role adds to the enjoyment of the performance. The costumes are new and attractive and the song numbers first-rate. Among the latter are: "Gee, It's Great to Be a Soldier Man," "She Reads the New York Papers Every Day," "Camp Fire Dreams" and others. Grease paints and professionals supplies at Woodard.
