BY ARTHUR A. ORBENB
ON" ITS second -Coast tour came
"Coming Through the Rye to the
Heillg last night. It pleased local audi
ences last year and Is surprisingly well
maintained as regards performers, cos
tumes and scenery. It is a Baldwin
Sloane-George Hobart affair, called a
song play, which Is another way "round
of getting at musical comedy. It Is
reasonably funny -and decidedly tuneful,
some of the numbers grading well along
toward comic opera.
It is about nothing In particular ex
cept a rich widow, a modern Mrs. Mala
prop. who does violence to the King's
Knglish and Is In search of a titled hus
band. An unctuous tailor trying to collect
a bad bill from an Indigent artist Is the
Patsy Bolivar on whom most of the
comedy falls. There Is on elaborate fefe
st the widow's villa In the second act
during the progress of which Margaret
Taylor, who plays a French maid earlier
In the proceedings. Introduces the Salome
dance. It was this feature which drew a
majority of last night's audience.
This Salome fad is something which has
no good purpose to serve and the soones
the public tires of it the better. It appeals
to street-corner-loafer Intellect rather
than to people who keep their minds rea
sonably well fumigated. It Is not particu
larly graceful although Miss Taylor does
It with abandon and is a clever short skirt
dancer as she demonstrates In the first
act. The fondling of the gory head of
John the Baptist is of course a disgust
ing spectacle. As to the costume, not be
ing an authority on union underwear. I
cannot discuss It In detail. All that seems
certain is that It consists of at least a
pleased expression. The dance strikes me
as a two-step hootchy-kootchy.
To return to the show proper, from the
show Improper. Tom Waters is seen this
year as Xott and fills the requirements
well. His piano playing specialty received
at least half a dozen recalls and the
stunts he did on the keyboard were all
good. Ieona Thurber. a good-looking
woman, much Inclining to the statuesque.
hRs the most important feminine role, that
of Mrs. Kobb. She has several songs and
does them well enough until she comes to
the more or less well known "Brother
Pylvest." This dainty little Dago ditty
she sings with a rich Scandinavian accent,
the chorus as usual speaking plain chorus-girl.
Kveleen Dunmore has the best
voice in the troupe and appears to advan
tage as the model. The show will con-
ttnue four nights with a Wednesday mati
nee added.
"Niobe" and the Salome
Dance at Lyric
BT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
THEIU5 are so many Salomes In town
this week that the market on nice,
fresh, bewhlskered -heads Is likely to
look up. If I looked anything like the
much abused John- the Baptist Is sup
posed to have appeared I'd beware of all
dark women who walk with undulating
hips. At the Lyric, as at the Heillg. It is
being performed In the interest of science
and many of the picture shows have
added It to their Joys.
Nedra Lanscombe. the Lyric exponent,
is an attractive looking girl who quite
frankly allows her charms to be passed
upon by the edified spectators. Miss Lans
combe's Interpretation of the dance Is
more picturesque and more appropriately
Introduced than that of her rival. Miss
Taylor, who appears at the Helllg al
though the latter Is perhaps a shade the
better dancer. Neither has much the bet
ter of it in the matter of costume al
though Miss Ianscomue is barefooted
while, as definitely as an age-dimmed
eye could discover. Miss Taylor disports
in the flimsiest of silken hosiery. This
feature seemed to pack the Lyric to suf
focation both matinee and night and hun
dreds were turned away.
The Blunkall Company is giving a rat'
tllng good performance of that very enter
taining farce, "Xlohe." the story of a liar
and the statue which comes to life. Miss
Howard looks particularly stunning In the
latter role and acts eommendably well.
Charlea Conners makes bis first Appear
ance with the company as one of the con
spirators. In fact I rather think Charlie
Is 'doubling" this week and that they're
using his head In the Salome dance.
Charles King and Carl Berch are at their
very best which Is saying a good deal.
The show Is on lor the usual time.
Richard Mansfield's Hard-upDays
When the Great Actor Was So Poor in London That He Dined On
Smell of Cooking.
ONCE when at the meridian of his
fame, Richard Mansfield was asked
to lecture before the faculty and students
of the University of CWcago. For his
subject he chose "On Going on the
Stage." That he might exploit to those
before him the dread reality of the
actor's struggle, he lifted for the first
time a corner of that vajl of mystery
which hung between his public snd hla
past, and told of these early London
days.
"For years I went home to my little
room. If fortunately I had one." he said,
"and perhaps a tallow dip was stuck In
the neck of a bottle, and I was fortunate
If I had something to cook for myself
over a fire, if I had a Are. That was my
life. When night came I wandered about
the streets of London, and if I had a
penny I Invested it In a baked potato,
from the baked potato man on the cor
ner. - I would put these hot potatoes In
my pockets, and after I had warmed my
hands i would swallow the potato. That
Is the truth."
The tragedy of those days was not
without Its humorous relief. "I can re
member one evening; in London," Mans
field recounted afterward at supper amid
the luxury of his Riverside Drive home,
"when I had reached the pleasant condi
tion of having had nothing to eat all
day. I had Just one shilling, my last. In
my pocket. I was walking along, looking
somewhat covetously into the pastry
shops I passed, wondering how on my
pittance I could dissipate the carklng
hunger to the best advantage. Suddenly
I came upon a friend of mine, a vaga
bond like myself, but apparently then in
much better luck. He was gorgeously
arrayed in all the black and white splen
dor of evening clothes. He had a din
r.er Invitation, he explained, at Lord Cav
endish's or some such great house; we'd
go In somewhere and have something on
the strength of It.

THE Baker Stock Company has never
heretofore attempted anything quite
s'o elaborate as "The Qlrl of the Golden
West" whUh is the attraction at the Bun
galow this week. It is essentially a
very big drama, requiring a production
that might well stagger the producer and
taxing the actors to the utmost. Manager
Baker and Director Bowles are to be
thanked for giving the public one of the
biggest things in .the stock line that has
ever been offered anywhere.
The history of the play is a story of
unparalleled success. It ran continuously
in New York with Blanche Bates as star
for two years and was also seen on an
Eastern Toad tour. If Belasco had been
able to secure theators in the West It Is
unlikely that it would have been released
for the stock companies for a number of
years to come.
The rart of The Girl. Miss Bates' role,
ler far and away the most difficult thing
Izetta Jewel has done and she succeeds
remarkably well. It Is very long, Involv
ing her presence on the staee almost con
tinimniv. and the lines and situations
Xare such that an actress of much mora
experience than thi talented young wom
an might have fled from them in terror.
Her conception of the role seems accur
ate and she plays her strong scenes as
effectively as could be desired. Strangely
enough, in the lighter and seemingly most
elementary tcenea she does not command
the Interest as she might. For instance.
In the scene in which she denounces her
lover and that of the marvelous poker
game whereby she cheats the Sheriff of
her afflanoed's life, she is nothing short
of splendid, which in her treatment of the
coquettish Interview In the first act and
her schoolteaehlng in the third she is dis
appointing. By and large, however, she
arouses the sincerest admiration of her
auditors.
There are Just four parts that stand
out distinctly, although the cast is a long
one. Sidney Ayres leaves little to be de
sired In his playing of the dashing road
agent, who reforms for the girl's sake.
Donald Bowles is admirable as the gambler-Sheriff,
and Mina Crolius Gleason
gives us one of her best character crea
tions as the Indian squaw. Almost with
out exception, the other parts are well
handled, but they are only incidentally
Important.
No detail Is missing to make the pro
duction memorable in local theatrical an
nals. The blizzard effect is especially well
managed. This Is probably, next to "Ari
aona," the Western drama at its very
apex. 'The ordinary play treating of
frontier conditions pales Into insignifi
cance. David Belasco's genius Is stamped
all over it, and it is enthralling in its in
terest. Yesterday s audiences established
a new record for stock performances here
and It is probable that the demand for
seats will make it necessary to run tho
piece two weeks.
Uncle Josh Perkins,
at The Star
ggU XCLB JOSH PERKINS," a com
W edy-drama In four, acts, opened
yesterday afternoon at the Star and was
warmly received by the large audience.
The comedy element is strong, though the
opportunities for melodrr.ma have not
been overlooked and patrons to whom
that class of entertainment appeals will
not be disappointed.
Uncle Josh is a keen Vermont farmer,
who goes to New York to search for his
long-lost daughter. Uncle Josh is not the
usual Rube, and his method of outwitting
the sharks and confidence men is as en
tertaining to the audience as it U discon
certing to the men in question. The long
arm of coincidence makes the young wo
man he rescues the daughter he is search
ing for, but this does not Interfere with
the excellent comedy work.
In the later farm scenes, Fred La Rue,
as Hiram Green, the farm band, gives one
of the best impersonations seen In Port
land for' a long time. The other char
acters are well-sustained. The Star la

I was mentally gloating over the shill

feast on, when my friend, shuffling his
hands nervously from pocket to pocket,'
turned to me and said:
" 'I say, old man, I'm awfully sorry,

he was never to see her again.
The sale of an occasional picture or the
acceptance of a story or poem by a mag
azine gave him barely sufficient to eke
along. It was with difficulty he was able
to put tip a respectable appearance when
he was so fortunate as to have an invi
tation to fashionable houses. But non
nutritive as were the unsubstantials that
were exploited there in the form of cold
collations, the truth Is that had he de

HAPPY, the tramp, is the central fig
ure In "The Cat and the Fiddle,"
but surrounding the underscored comed
ian, and owner of the show, Charles A.
Sellon, is grouped a company of shapely
girls, character people and a tall, very
tall, "bad 'un" who is the sort of Me
phistopheles seen in "Faust," only he
has a compact with a "fairy eye" In
stead of being the evil one.
Every once in so often theater-goers
take kindly to a spectacular show, with
attendant good and bad spirits, demons,
fairies, gnomes and all the rest. The
town .appears to lee ready for another
week of that class of entertainment, for
at both the afternoon and night appear
ances of Happy and his company the
Bnker was crowded to the doors. ,
There Is a fairly well sustained story
running through the three acts enough
on which to bang quite a lot of good
specialty work and. while the mechani
cal effects' are not all new Ideas, and all
the songs are not catchy. It is fair to
say that most of both are of the sort
to please young and old. and that-the
whole Is well worth seeing.
Sellon has gathered a pretty good
chorus, and the twins of the Apiece are
hit. These young women do a "grand
opera" stunt that is different from such
numbers usually seen and they keep busy
all the time they are In sight. Hans' and
Mike help Happy out In the fun-making.
It requiring no great perspicacity to
guess at their supposed nationality. The
bad fairy Is by odds the most striking
figure of the cast; though the good one
fills requirements quite satisfactorily.
Summing up what is to be expected
from a visit to the Baker this week a
few words suffice. There Is any amount
of fun, choruses, surprises and the cat
must not be overlooked. This cat Is a
marvel, for whenever it Is In evidence
those "on to the game" may have their
every wish gratified.
Prediction Is here made th.at the Baker
will not have vacant seats during the
week.
a charming group of girl friends In Bos
ton, and of his old friends, Mrs. Howe
and her daughter Maud, were bright
spots in this cheerless period. The din
ners to which these ladies Invited him
were often providential interpositions
between him and starvation.
At length his wardrobe became so re
duced that attendance at any but the
most informal entertainments became out
of the question, and finally Ue had to
give up these. Soon he was Inking the
seams of his coat and wandered about
shunning friends for fear they would
learn to what a condition he was reduced.
"Often." he admitted, "I stayed in bed
and slept because when I was awake I
was hungry. Footsore, I would gaze into
the windows of restaurants, bakeries and
fruit shops, thinking the food displayed
In them the most tempting and beautiful
sight in the world. There were times
when I literally dined on sights and
smells."
Ho did every species of dramatic and
musical hack work in drawing-rooms, in
clubs, and in special performances In the
aters. Sometimes he got Into an obscure
provincial company, but he said that hl3
very cleverness was a kind of curse, since
the harder he worked and the better the
audiences liked him the quicker he was
discharged. The established favorites of
these little companies always struck
when a newcomer made a hit.
His humor did not forsake htm; but it
became somewhat cynical. The equal
helplessness of success or failure begot a
kind of audacity which broke out in the
most unexpected caprices.
In one Instance when he foresaw Imme
diate dismissal he executed a sweet re
venge on a jealous comedian who, with
Mansfield and one other, sang a trio. As
each came forward for his verso the other
two sat back on either side of the stage,
then rose, joined In the chorus, danced a
few steps, and fell back again into the
chairs. While the comedian was work
ing hard down front, Mansfield ostenta
tiously took a large pin from the lapel
of his coat, with great pains bent It as
every schoolboy knows how, and, getting
his cue, suddenly to Join in the chorus,
quickly put the bent pin in his own chair.
At the conclusion of the dance he swung
round before the chair and assumed to
sit down with violence. As he was just
about to touch the chair he reached for
the pin, and the audience which had all
this time paid no attention to the
comedian now roared with laughter.

POINTS IN TYPEWRITING
Why In Some Work Periods and
Commas Show So Black' and Deep.
"When In anything typewritten you see
the periods and commas punched black
and deep," said an experienced type
writer, "you may know that the work was
done by a beginner or by one who had
not yet done sufficient work to have ac
quired a perfect touch.
"The reason for the deep punching of
the punctuation points is very simple.
Naturally enough the beginner at type
writing plays upon all the keys with equal
force, but as the types attached to the
keys present unequal amounts of printing
surface It follows that equal force ap
plied to all the keys results In more or
less unequal printing. on the paper.
"For instance, a certain . amount of
force applied to the B key might produce
of that type a fair impression on the
paper, but the same force applied to a
period mignt drive that, a mere point,
clean through the paper. In fact. It is
not unusual for beginners on the type
writer to punch holes in the paper with
their periods.
"But as the learner progresses in her
art she comes to realize that some types
must be touched more lightly than others
and gradually her periods become less
Lmck and deep, and with further practice
she comes instinctively, automatically
to grade her touch on all the letters and
signs until at last she is able to produce
typewriting that is nothing less than
artistic in effect, true and uniform and
beautiful.
"It Is something fine to see, the good
work of the Intelligent, sensitive and
truly competent typewriter."

. THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the wak and the
convalescent. To those who need strength need a food and
a tonic. If it is good for them, isn't it good for you?
The virtue of beer does not lie in the alcohol. There
is only 31 per cent, of that.
It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in
the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep.
It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes
the system of waste. So would water, of. course, if one
drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer.
When beer is pure there is nothing more healthful. And
Schlitz beer is pure. It brings no after-effects, no biliousness.
But better go without beer than to drink the wrong beer.
That is why the Doctor generally says "Drink Schlitz."
JOB TDD BID FDR JOHNSON
CAXXOT CARRY MINNESOTA Oil
DAKOTAS FOR BRTAX.
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Will Have His Hands Full to
Get Himself Re-elected.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 27. "Tou want to heavily
discount all this talk about Governor
Johnson carrying Minnesota and th. two
Dakota for Bryan," said a well-known
North Dakota politician, who was In
Washington recently on Government
business. "Johnson is not going to carry
any one of those states for Bryan, and
he wilt have his hands full carrying
Minnesota for himself. People generally
do not understand the Minnesota situa
tion. They have an Idea that because
Johnson is a Swede, and there Is a large
Scandinavian population in Minnesota,
therefore the Scandinavian vote will be
cast as Johnson desires. That is not the
case.
"Under some circumstances Johnson
might be able to help materially In land
ing Minnesota In the Democratic column,
so far as the Presidential ticket Is con
cerned, but those conditions do not pre
vail this year. Johnson, as every one
knows, is a Swede, but he has running
against him one Jacobsen. a Norwegian,
nominated by the Republicans. Now
there are about as many Norwegians as
Swedes up In that country, and on elec
tion day the Norwegians are going to
cast their votes for Jacobsen, and not
for Johnson.
Conflict of Nations.
"The Swedes and Norwegians will vote
together if there is but one Scandinavian
in the field, but when each nationality
Is repressed, the Scandinavian vote
will divide. There Is no love lost between
the Swedes and the Norwegians, con
trary to general belief, and that will be
amply demonstrated this Fall.
"But there is one other thing to be
taken Into consideration In speculating
on the Minnesota election. Senator Knute
Nelson, a Norwegian, Is far and away
the strongest Republican In Minnesota,
and he is loyal to his party. With "Un
cle Knute" on the stump, whooping It up
for Taft as well as for Jacobsen. you
can count on a solid Norwegian vote for
the Republican state as well .as National
ticket. Minnesota ia normally a Repub
lican state and It only went Democratic
before, on the state ticket, because
Johnson had practically the entire Scan
dinavian vote. This he will not have
this year, and while I do not go so far
as to say Johnson will" be defeated. I do
say he will not get nearly the vote he
bad on his previous elections.
"While Johnson is mightily admired in
the Northwest, In the Dakotas as well
as In his own state, his own popularity
Is not such as to enable him to carry
any of those states for Bryan. The
Dakotas are just as safely Republican
as any state you can name, and so Is
Minnesota."
Explains Bede's Defeat.
Asked how he accounted for the failure
of Adam Bede. the wit of the House, to
secure renomination at the recent pri
maries, this gentleman confirmed the
general report that Bede had been too
much of a professional humorist, and not
enough of a Congressman. . In other
words, he spent too much time trotting
The BeerThat Made Milwaukee Famous
about . the country making funny
speeches, all at the expense of his Con
gressional work. Ills people admire his
humor, all right, but they sent him to
Congress to do things and not to make a
monkey of himself.
Then, too. Bede, In his campaign,
slung considerable nasty mud at his an
tagonist, and the low character of his
campaign was nauseating. No particu
lar significance attaches to the defeat of
Bede, he said, other than the moral
taught that it don't pay to be too funny.
FUTURE COAST METROPOLIS
Portland to Be Chief City, Says Gov.
ernment Official.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 27. "Portland Is the coming
metropolis of the Pacific Coast," said
Frank B. McMIIlin, Chief Inspector of the
Postofflce Department, on his return
from a tour of the West. During his
trip Mr. MeMillin stopped in most of the
leading cities of the Coast and Rocky
Mountain states, a region with which he
has long been familiar, but nowhere was
he impressed with growth and develop
ment as in Portland. But it is his
opinion that Portland's future develop
ment will far surpass Us growth in
times past.
"There are many reasons why Port
land is destined to forge to the front,"
said Mr. McMIIlin. "In the first place
it has a -magnificent fresh water harbor,
and shipping masters all over the world
are beginning: to appreciate the advant
ages of such a harbor. Vessels that have
become fouled n long voyages, go up
the river to Portland, and their bottoms
are cleaned by nature, at no cost, but
just as effectively as If they were dry
docked and scraped at the cost of $600
or $700. A saving of this amount Is not
to be overlooked.
"But the fresh water harbor is not all
that will attract commerce to Portland.
That new North Bank road, draining the
great Inland Empire, Is going to divert
to Portland much of the wheat and other
farm products that have been shipped to
Puget Sound. It is the most natural
thing In the world that freight should
seek the cheapest route, and there is no
comparison between the down-grade haul
over the North Bank road to Portland,
and the very expensive haul over the
Cascade Mountains to Puget Sound.
Where trains of ten cars are now car
ried over the mountains to Seattle, the
same motive power will carry 30 or AO
cars down grade to Portland.. The value
of this new road to Portland, In my
opinion, 'cannot be over-estimated. It is
bound to make Portland thfreaport for
the whole Falouse country, which for
merly sought an outlet through Puget
Sound. ,
"And there Is another thing that is
helping Portland, and will continue to
help It, If the people continue to exercise
sound judgment. I will cite an Instance
to Illustrate what I mean. Not long
ago a big packing concern decided to
establish a plant on the North Pacific
Coast. Its representatives went to Seat
tle, picked out a site, and asked the
price. If I remember correctly, $300,000
was asked for the property. That figure
was considered exorbitant, so the rep
resentatives went to Portland, found a
site in every way as desirable as that
at Seattle, and the price Just one-third
as great. . The plant was accordingly
located in Portland.
"Now the Portland price was all the
property was worth; the price asked in
Seattle was boosted out of all reason.
This packing coscern felt that it would
be treated fairly in Portland, where it
wouM have every advantage offered in
Seattle, and It refused to be helJ-up
merely for the purpose of locating on the
Sound. If Portland continues along this
line, holding Its property at reasonable

prices. It will Invite, rather than repel
business Interests that are anxious to
locate on the Pacific Coast. And what
applies to business property, applies with
equal force to residence property.
"Portland, in late years, has certainly
developed marvelously. Nowhere that I
have ever been are there more attractive
residence sites or more attractive homes.
On the heights overlooking the city are
some of the most charming residences
imaginable.
"And I want to say, further, that Port
land has a street railway system sur
passed by none. There are cars every
where. Every part of town is covered,
and the lines extend well Into the sub
urbs. The good car service has made It
possible to- expand the city at a rapid
rate and has made It possible for the
citizens to get out into the suburbs and
yet be within easy reach of their places
of business.
"Ever since the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition. Portland has been going forward
at an amazing rate, and the growth. In
stead of being spasmodic, is steady and
permanent. I am confident that Porl
land in time will be the city of the
Coast."
THE REFORMED BRONCHO
May Be Seen Any Day In the Bridle
Paths of Central Park.
To the general public the word broncho
suggests everything wiW and vicious In
horseflesh. One associates the useful
ness of the broncho almost entirely with
the rugged West. That this w ry little
animal could ever develop the points of a
good park horse would be received with
much reservation by most persons.
Tet some 10 years or more of cross
breeding, says Country Life In America,
has accomplished this somewhat amazing
result. Today one can see on the bridle
paths of Central Park the well-groomed
broncho fraternizing as an equal with the
Blue Grass thoroughbred, and his number
Is constantly growing.
To be sure, he is no longer the hammer
head with a pronounced ewe neck, almost
as devoid of flesh as a skeleton. He has
developed a fine crest in this upbreedlng
and can show as fine a neck as any Ken
tucky bred horse.
His mlddleplece Is no longer distended
from much eating of grass food, nor is he
so loosely joined to his quarters as his
prototype. Higher living has rounded
him Into a strikingly well, proportioned
saddle horse. In his new estate he sub
sists less on the fresh. Juicy grasses, and
the new order grows quite a different
animal.
But through all this transformation he
still retains the leg characteristics of
his broncho ancestry, perfect In symmetry,
rather light in muscle and slender in bone,
