SHOW IS TRUE TO LIFE
Real Cowboys Will Appear With
Buffalo Bill's Exhibition.
The first claim to recognition as an in
stitution for educating the unlearned in
American hiKtory which the management
makes for Buffalo Bill's Wild West and
Congress of Rough Riders of the World
is the very genuineness of it all. Every
thing concerned in the entertainment is
as near authenticity as human Ingenuity
and the unrestricted expenditure of
money can make It. Historic in its ori
gin. Buffalo Bill's Wild West has always
maintained Its established record for gen
uineness In all things.
It will therefore be Interesting to lov
ers of horseflesh to learn that there will
be a display of broncho-busting during
the progress of the exhibition when Buf
falo Bill and his big organization appears
In this city. The art of broncho-busting
has engaged the most daring members of
the cowboy fraternity since the days
when cowboys were first an established
necessity In some features of Western
development. It is a most dangerous
calling, and many lives have been sacri
ficed in the conflict between the wild
horse of the plains and the master hand
which has attempted his subjection.
There need be no fear but what the
broncho-busting in Buffalo Bill's Wild
West will be an exact reproduction of
the original article, for it will be the
genuine thing, and every time a cowboy
mounts his horse he will take a great
risk of broken bones. The cowboys will
be real cowboys brought from the West
ern wilds, where they have plied their
avocation of herding cattle and busting
bronchos all their lives. The world is
seeing practically the last of this pictur
esque type of Americans for the fencing
of ths ranges Is fast doing away with
their occupation.

(ff HE DEVIL!" said I to myself, as
I I came away from the Bungalow
matinee yesterday. "A remarkable play!
Probably a great play! Possibly a good
play!" And then I said it all over to
myself again.
As a novelty in theatricals, it has many
things to recommend it. Nothing closely
resembling it has ever been seen before,
unless one finds a certain .similarity be
tween it and Goethe's "Faust." It is as
nearly what an ancient morality play
might be. If It were brought down to this
latest moment In modern garb and present-day
settings. That it has created a
furore Is the most natural of conse
quences. That 'It has been and will con
tinue to be much discussed both ways
from the center Is alao one of the surest
things you know. But whether It serves
any good purpose and. has any more seri
ous value than that of entertainment. I
question. I am only sure of two things.
I sat through every minute of It yester
day and the Baker company gave a su
perb performance. As a severe test of
ability, both in acting and production, it
goes beyond anything I have ever here-
i IV I'J C H i ll lu.i w ........
I To begin with, the manuscript, which
I the- play-brokers pirated from both the
Savage and Flske productions less tnan
three weeks ago in New York, only
reached here on September 2. It was a
bare manuscript without detail of inci
dental "business" or other elaboration
which might direct the producer. JuBt
the dialogue. Donald Bowles took hold
of it. without having seen a performance
of the play, of course, and improvised
all the details which are absolutely es
sential to the performance. The result
looks much like genius. The new stage
director has certainly to be credited
with an achievement.
' The drama Is preceded by a series of
allegorical tableaux, Bowles Idea, by the
way, which tends to prepare the audi
ence for the story that is to come. These
are quite well managed except that the
young woman who poses had entirely too
much rouge on at yesterday's session.
The first act occurs in the studio of
Frans Wslstedt. a successful young por
trait painter. Madame Kranz, a young
matron whom the artist has known as
Meta. a childhood playmate and a former
sweetheart, comes to the studio with her
husband to sit for her picture. Meta hsd
broken her engagement to Kranz six
years before to marry Josef Kranx. a
wealthy philanthropist, who had been
Franz benefactor and had enabled him
to get his art education. The two are
left alone, the husband apparently re
posing every confidence in their loyalty,
although knowing the story of their for
mer romance. The young people, after
an exchange of commonplaces, find them
selves drifting into dangerous waters,
and only the young wife's strength pre
vents mild indiscretion. Franz finds his
better self awakened and leaves Meta in
the outer room to prepare her costume
for the portrait while he arranges the
studio.
Devil Makes Appearance.
Left alone. Meta is suddenly confront
ed by the most fascinating of all devils,
who appears as if from nowhere, but ac
tually from the depths of a mammoth
armchair In which he pretends to have
fallen asleep while the two were engaged
in a dialogue. He professes to put a
wrong construction on the meeting, and
by his heartlessly cynical Insinuations
succeeds in frightening Meta until she
screams for Frans. The latter, mystlfiod
at the presence of the suave, debonnalr
stranger, finally recognizes him as an un
known friend who had loaned him money
at a Monte Carlo roulette table when all
his own money had been lost, which
money had beon almost miraculously
lucky In winning back his losses and a
considerable sum besides.
The Intruder introduces himself as a
man from nowhere who went everywhere
and for convenience traveled under the
Incognito of Dr. Kelmar. He proceeds in
a good-humored way to tempt the young
people with his vicious philosophy of life
and finally succeeds In getting them into
each other's arms for their first illicit
kiss. This ends the first set.
The second act occurs in the Krans
villa during the progress of a fashionable
ball on the night following the afternoon
of the opening. The smiling. Immaculate
ly groomed and exquisitely tailored Devil
Is there a self-invited guest. For the
furtherance of his designs, not touching
the principal motif but merely as a part
of the day's work, he proceeds to corrupt
an Innocent young debutante and her un
spoiled boy sweetheart. He Induces the
boy to drink wine and Introduces him to
a woman of hectlo garb and record who
disappears with him In the mazy whirl
of a waits. He then appropriates the
CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND IN PARK
BLOCK CLOSES FOR THE SEASON
Final Saturday Before Opening of Schools Made Occasion for Celebration.
Samples of Handicraft Shown.
BY NANCY LEE.
ABOUT 100 little children, embracing
all nationalities, gathered together
Saturday afternoon at the Chil
dren's Playground, on the Park
Mocks bounded by Davis and Everett
streets, to celebrate the closing for the
Bummer months of that delightful rec
reation ground, where so many happy
hours have passed. In honor of ths
event the various Chinese, Japanese, In
dian. American, Syrian and colored chil
dren were attired in their brightest col
ors, their faces radiating with smiles, all
eagerly awaiting -the presentation, of
prizes which were given for the beet ef
forts in needlework and basket-making.
As is commonly known, two of the Park
blocks are under the direction of the
People's Institute, where every manner
of playground paraphernalia dear to the
heart of the child has been installed. In
cluding all types of swings and see-saws,
baseball grounds for boys, sand piles,
etc. The mothers, too. are as much In
terested as the little tots and spend many
hours under the shady trees, fashioning
garments for their small charges and
watching the little ones at play.
Mrs. Bertha Davis, who Is loved by
both the girls and boys, has been In at
tendance each afternoon, offering sym
pathy. If it Is so desired, entering Into
the spirit of the games and Instructing
the children in needlework. In this. Mrs.
Davie Is assisted by Mrs. J. W. Vogan,
who also Instructs both boys and girls
In the art of basket-making. Mrs. E. B.
Coman has volunteered her assistance and
is frequently seen instructing basketry
work, assisted by many of ths prominent
society girls.
Too much cannot be said of the excel
lent work accomplished by the People'
Institute and the splendid influence
offered for both boys and girls. Different
afternoons are devoted to teaching needle
work, embroidering, and basket-making.
A large awning stretched on poles offers
a shady place for ths little workers and
also enables them to have the advantage
of fresh air. This same canopy was yes
terday artistically decorated by the chil
dren with fragrant boughs and wild
flowers, and on a neatly-arranged table
were the samples of needle . craft for
which attractive prizes were offered by
the judges, which Included Mrs. Helen
Ladd Corbett. Mies Valentine Prichard.
the superintendent of the People's In
stitute, Mrs. James Failing. Mrs. L. Allen
Lewis. Miss Mae Falling. Mrs. B. B.
Coman and Mrs. C. E. Curry.
Great Interest was manifested among
the ' children in the awarding of tha
prizes for the best specimens and for the
best form, workmanship and designing In
basketry. Among the samples were .re-,
markably good examples of lingerie hats,
made of eyelet and French embroidery,
shirtwaists and some Ingenious doll
clothes. One small colored girl was
given a priie for the most artistically
dressed doll, which was uniquely attired
.as an Indian In an elaborate brown
leather costume. Other types of foreign
doll clothes were cleverly represented,
among them Chinese, Scotch lassies and
Esquimaux types.
Many generous donations have been
given the Institute this past year by
private Individuals and more are prom
ised the coming year. Here let me add.
there is great room for volunteer work
ers among the Portland women. There
Is no other society In Portland today
where a local philanthropist could better
turn his attention for the charming sur
roundings and healthful environment Is
building better citizens for ths rising
generation.
little girl to himself and poisons her mind
with thinly veiled suggestions.
He's a busy operator for a few moments
later he has the fiancee of Frans wild
with Jealousy over a supposed liason
with Meta and this is no sooner done than
he Is hard at It devising an imaginary
scandal between himself and Meta which
brings Franz to the verge of insanity; the
husband, Josef Kranz. being in the mean
time perfectly oblivious, as husbands are
wont to be, reposing especial confidence
in Dr. Kalmar. whom he believes to be
engaged in philanthropic work.
In the third and last act. the Devil
brings Franz and Meta together In the
studio again by means of an amorous
letter which he influences Meta to write
and, after a scene of some considerable
effectiveness between the two with a sub
scene between Sophia, the fiancee, and
Bertha, the favorite model of Franz, he
brings the trusting husband Into the room
to see his wife in the arms of the artist.
This entrance is unobserved by the couple
who have succumbed to the Satanic ma
chinations. The Devil gives a dagger into
the hand of the husband and by panto
mime directs him to kill Franz. As the
husband raises the knife to strike down
the unsuspecting artist from behind, the
Devil restrains him and leads him to an
adjoining room wU-re a groan and a fall
give the spectator to understand that the
husband has taken bis own life. The cur
tain descends with the Devil laughing a
few gloats over his work as his silk-hatted
elegance disappears from the scene while
the erring young lovers sit embracing.
Xorgetful of all the world.
The play Is by Ferenc Molnax, a young
Bohemian writer, and abounds in cynical
epigram. Some of it is reminiscent and
the Influence of the Omar Khayyam philo
sophy is through it all. It is a melo
drama in ths more technical sense of the
word and possesses a peculiar fascination.
It is never offensive, although quite frank
In Its treatment of delicate themes.
It was produced very successfully at
both the Bungalow and Lyric yesterday
and both the Baker and Blunkall com
panies acquitted themselves with great
credit. It was presented In dozens of
cities and It is probable that never in
the history of the country has a play
been given so many simultaneous per
formances. The Impersonation of the title character
by Sidney Ayres of the Baker Company
was amazingly good. I did not particu
larly care for the new leading man In
last's week's bill but I was disarmed yes
terday by his consummate acting of a
very elusive part which offers every pos
sible temptation to the actbr who acts
too much. Ayres was always in the part,
always the self possessed, smirking devil
whose capacity for inducing general
cussedness Is infinitely greater than the
traditional one with the oyster fork. It
was a most artistic piece of work and
he need not fear comparislon with any of
the stars who are likely to play it here
some time en tour. Miss Jewel waa un
usually effective and attractive as ths
frail young wife and Donald Bowles did
the Dart of Franz admirably, his work at
the end of the first act being strictly
class A. Misses ' Kent and Seymour in
unimportant parts were sufficient unto the
needs. Little Aliss itnet uiicneu
Owen Blazler sprang into instant favor
with their audience and were delightfully
fresh and unstilted in their first parts or
importance.

THE Lyrio has grown ambitious, and
this week offers something Infinitely
batter than even the most meritorious of
past efforts on the part of the excellent
Blunkall Company.
In Franz Molnar's play, "The Devil." as
presented by the Lyric Stock Company,
sex frailty is handled blandly and can
didly. Briefly told, the story deals with a
reincarnate Satan, and his hold upon two
people at a crisis in their lives. Frans
Walstiedt and Meta had been lovers, the
boy a struggling artist, and the girl de
pendent on a relative. Later Franz is
enabled to complete his art career
through the beneficence of a friend, and
when he returns years later be finds Meta
married to his benefactor.
The two are brought together alter six
years of respectable living, through the
Instrumentality of Meta's husband. Joseph
Kranz, who commissions his wife's for
mer lover to paint her picture. At her
first sitting In Franz' studto. . Satan ap
pears, and throughout the three acts that
follow he glorifies vice, makes a mockery
of faithfulness and clean living, and
sneers at the lawfulness and sacredness
of the marriage relation.
Credit for splendid acting belongs to
Ervln Blunkall, who, as the Devil, enters
keenly Into the temperament of his part
and his clever delineation of the tempter
incarnate bespeaks careful study as well
as the art of a well-schooled actor.
Miss Warda Howard gives a fascinating
portrayal of Meta, the wife. Her inter
pretation is given understanding, and
she constantly forces the struggle the
woman Is making in behalf of her better
self, without losing the weakness of char
acter so cleverly shown. Miss Howard's
stage presence is most charming and she
wears some exceedingly handsome gowns.
Charles King, as the artist and lover,
gives a sympathetic and closely-llmned
portrayal. His work shows assiduous at
tention to detail and Is well finished. Miss
Florence Jewel, who by the way, is the
young sister of Mies Isetta Jewel, receives
much favorable comment for her sweetly
demure and charmingly slnoere delineation
of the cast-off little model. Bertha.
Carl Berch as Meta's husband plays a
conventional part In the ascribed conven
tional manner. Distinctions are invidious,
however, for all the characters are ad
mirably interpreted.
There are two settings, the handsome
well-appointed studio and a much-glided
reception hall.
Captain Lawrence Cusanl - Vlsconte,
master of the Italian warship Puglla,
now in the harbor, who is a well-known
critique, was a gut of the management,
at the Lyric for the first performance of
"The Devil." and announced himself as
most pleased and entertainea.

interest of Star patrons. There Is any
amount of clean comedy to lighten it up.
while the pathos and sentiment of the
lines tend to make it a most interesting
story.
There Is a moving love story thread
ing its way through the four acts of the
play. To the main love story there is
also the secondary one of the "wlddy"
and the Sheriff.
A fortune is at stake in the "Chuck
Luck" mine, and this supplies the motive
for such wicked plotting as develops in
the drama.
Miss Perkins, as Kitty Col well, in the
title role is a very clever little actress
who fives a clean and charming delinea
tion of a wholesome independent West
ern girl. She renders a finished portrayal
of a rather difficult part and is at all
times enthusiastically received.
Mattie Perkins, as Bridget O'Dowd. is
essentially a widow with her country's
wit. She, with Jim Baugh as Sheriff
Owens, furnish the comedy element of ths
play.
Dale Devereaux, in the part of Harry
Mevers the young collegian, lumped im
mediately Into public favor and made him
self liked by his audience as tne neroic
young lover. Luella Goodrl, as the hand
some adventuress, and Walfred W. Wil

villain, both appear advantageously. The
character types peculiar to a mining town
are introduced. Edward Willis, as Doo

is good; Frank G. King, who portrays tne
character of Hank Tregresser; the man
with the yellow stripe, gives an especially
clever piece of acting, and Walter
Douglas, as the Judge, Is most amusing.
