IT CERTAINLY is to laugh at "Glitter
ing Gloria' whenever seen; it is to
laugh without a chance to compose
your features for two hours, if you see
the Baker Stock Company do the comedy.
Whenever, at too infrequent intervals.
Manager Baker scars Maribel Seymour,
and that talented little lady gets an op
portunity to Interpolate some of her
musical compositions, the Baker audience
is due for a genuine treat. They get it
this week at the Bungaiow.
"Glittering Gloria" is the sort of thing
that was created with but one object iu
view to tickle the audience. As the
ludicrous situations follow each other In
quick succession, and the funny lines are
rattled off, the only escape from threa
tened hysteria is to read the advertise
ment of a tombstone-maker that appears
on the drop curtain between acta. And
even ' that lugubrious spectacle has but
temporary effect. The Baker people need
suffer nothing in comparison with the
big road shows that do farce-comedy, for
with Miss Kent. Miss Webster, the Glea
sons, father and son; Howard Russell.
Sydney Ayres. William Dills and Ronald
Bradbury supporting Maribel Seymour,
it would be difficult to get together a more
competent company of actors.
"Glittering Gloria" is the "pet name"
the London public gives to Gloria Grant,
a favorite actress, and the effort of one
of her most ardent admirers to present
her with a diamond necklace without the
knowledge of the donor's wife, bring more
different kinds of laughable situations
than usually fall to one play.
Jn the second act. Miss Seymour in
troduces a new song of her own. "It's the
Hat that Makes the Woman,'' with a
refrain that fits the personality of the
singer "Under the brim he finds an all
right girl." In doing the song Miss Sey
mour wears, to illustrate the verses, four
or five of probably the most ''stunning"
creations in feminine headgear 'ever seen
in Portland. There is a high school girl
hat, a chorus girl hat and then to cap
the climax a directolre "dream" that
brought audible "ahs" from the women
and girls in the audience and suppressed
"gees" from the male escorts. Miss
Seymour should command JI.OuO.OOO a week
as a designer of effective hats for "the
all right girls." Another hit by Miss
Seymour is the whistly song and chorus,
it s Nice to Be a Sweetheart." With
Miss Hazel Jewel to guide them, the girl
chorus does some really first-class work,
and it has added attractiveness in being
composed of pretty and young girls.
Donald Bowles is missed from the cast,
as is also Miss Jewel and Mlna Crolius
Gleason. Mr. Bowies and Mr. Dwire have
their hands full behind the drops, and
their efforts are seen in the promptness
of handling the stage settings and in the
admirable effects - produced. Gloria's
apartments, the jewelry store and the
railroad station are all good.
At tba conclusion of the run of the play
Saturday night, there will be a regretful
sentiment expressed "Sic transit -Gloria'
mundi."
A Millionaire Tramp
at the Star
AT THE Star Theater the return to
"straight" melodrama yesterday met
with the approval of packed houses at
both performances. On the playbill "A
Millionaire Tramp" is named a comedy
drama. There is quite a lot of comedy,
to be sure, by town character types, and
in the early scenes the tramp raises a
luugh now and then with droll comments
on life as he finds it. Duke Voile has
the title role, and as his character calls
for a down-and-out actor, he has an op
portunity to display his ability in the
last two acts, where he is presumed to
re-establish himself, after five years as a
tramp. His support is nothing to brag of,
or at least the book gives the others small
opportunity.
The one exception is Lorenzo Muzner,
who. as the villagG doctor, succeeds in
making of the character one of the
blood-and-thunder type of man, about as
far removed from the mild-mannered
country doctor as can be imagined, but
he has the stuff in him to make a
"bully" heavy villain in a drama that
calls for; "When Harry Kennedy ap
pears on yonder crag and waves the
lantern three times, 'tis the signal that
the girl is ours!"
The doctor thinks to marry the heiress,
a member of a traveling theatrical com
pany, by shewing her the supposed grave
of her lover who disappeared years be
fore, and who turns out to be the tramp.
The schemo fails, but the tramp comes
near not gaining Ills reward for reforma
tion, but through a bit of careful manipu
lation and forgetfulness of past events
he comes out on top, with the doctor man
buried under his load of infamy.
Misses (dramatic license) Gertrude
Steele. EJsa Minet an'd Theresa Belmont
are the women in the cast, the other men
taking characters of the city marshal,
hotel porter, leading man in the traveling
troup. the manager, the village wiseacre
and the parson.
The piece is quite creditably staged and
Is on for the week, with the customary
matinees. Next week "Bunco in Arizona"
is announced as the attraction.
IS NOT TOTAL SURPRISE
Friends of Tr. Wilson Had Inkling
He Would Marry.
Although the wedding last Saturday of
Mrs. Maud Akin T?fft and Dr. Clarence
Tru "Wilson, pastor of the Centenary
Methodist Church, who safely passed the
37th milestone of his life without a wife,
came as a surprise to many of their
friends, there had been persistent rumors
for months that Dr. Wilson was engaged.
Kven when he was the pastor of the
Grace Methodist Church, more than a
year asro, a rrmor was afloat as to his
matrimonial Intentions. Then the rumor
came to a few favored ones that the
date had been set in September, but the
time, passed, and Centenary's pastor re
mained a bachelor.
It was during his pastorate at the Grace
Methodist Church that Dr. Wilson was
called upon from time to time by Dr. J.
The Policyholders Company
Is Best for
Or-gonfifc
Whiteomb Brougher. of the White J
Temple, to engage with him in debates J
upon various phases of married life. Dr.
Wilson invariably gave ms vien
... l e ..-Kile. TW 1
the standpoint. 01 a uae.oe.oi.
Brougher told of the happiness Incident
to the conjugal state. But with his
transfer to the Centenary Methodist
Church Dr. Wilson lost the opportunity
for these debates, into which he entered
with much spirit. Neither Is it likely that
he now desires to exploit the advantages
of being a bachelor.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilson are now in Hood
River, where they went for a ten days
visit with friends. Dr. Wilson arranged
to have Rev. M. C. Reed, a local preaches,
fill his pulpit-yesterday. Pleading that
his health would not permit him to preach
next Sundav. Dr. Wilson, before the wed
ding, persuaded Rev. J. W. MacDotlgall,
of the Mount Tabor Methodist Church, to
preach for him next Sunday. ,
DK. BltOVGHER SAYS FEW ARE
GUILTLESS.
I
Iii Business and Society. He Finds
Commandment Is Generally
Violated.
"Modern Stealing a Fine Art' was
Dr. J. Whiteomb Brougiier's subject at
the White Temple last night. His- text
was the eight commandment of the
decalogue, "Thou shalt not steal." He
also quoted Matt. vii:12 and Kph. lv:JS.
The pastor said:
Under the present competitive system in
the commercial world, the temptation to
dishonesty tn eome form or other Is exceed
ingly difricult to resist. Adulterations of
various kinds, whether in cloth or frro
ceries or other thtnRs, is simply a form of
stealing. To seek to get the prices or a
genuine article for that which i efmply
a pretense 1b absolutely dishonest. Brad
Ftreet reported once that SO per cent of the
failures during two years were due to am
honest v.
Misrepresentation on the part of the buyer
and a pretense of selling at a cut price when
full value for the article is being received
la stealing. Commercial thefts are also
committed by defrauding the laborer of
his wa;es. Every person born into this
world is entitled to the opportunity of
making an honeot Jiving. Honest work de
mands honest wages. To take advantage
of the misfortunes of men and women or
their necessities and thus compel them to
work on starvation wages is to be both
dishonest and oppressive.
Living beyond one's means and contract
ing debti beyond any reasonable possibillty
of paying them are exceedingly prominent
forms of stealing. Ordering things for
which you have no money to pay and for
which you know you will not
have the money to pay !s to be
Just as much of a thief as If you had
stolen outright. Those who continue to bo
in debt when- they know they cannot pay
their obligations, )ot only injure the seller,
but they have robbed the entire commu
nity. A nored business man told me once
that by running a "spot-each" store h
could reduce his prices one-half. By the
credit system he was compelled to charge
those who did pay their debts enough to
make up for those who did not.
There is but one honest rule for any
honest man: Live within your income, pay
as you go and deny yourself the luxuries
that you cannot afford.
There seems to be something In the na
ture of an organization that tends to make
the Individual forget his responsibility.
Many a man will consent for the company
of which he is a member to do things
which he would not do as a private Indi
vidual. For this reason it is said that cor
porations have no consciences. It is too
frequently true that when a great trust is
formed and gets absolute con-trol of a. cer
tain arilcle, that corporation becomes an
organized band of robbers. They seek to
corner the market upon articles of necessity
and by so doing force the people to pay
exorbitant prices for the absolute necessities
of life. Now this Is downright stealing
Just as much so as if a man had a dozen
other men In the corner of a room and at
the point of a revolver threatened their
lives unless they bought their way out at
his own price, "Bearing the market."
"bulling the market," "cornering the mar
ket." "watering stocks" and several other
Wall-street expressions are only synonyms
for the term "stealing." To buy things in
the cheapest market and sell in the dearest
Is simply a form of high-way robbery. I
find a bakery with an over-stock of bread.
I buy at the lowest possible price. I find a
miner who is just coming from the mines,
but has lost his way and is nearly starving
to death. I sell him my bread but I make
him pa y the h ighest possible price. This
is what the world calls business, but It Is
highway robbery and Is an absolute contra
diction of the spirit of Jesus Christ.
The modern expression, "graft," is an
effort to cover with a new name ertain
forms of fittftalfng. It is a sad fact that
recent revelations and exposures of offi
cials have presented to the world a start
ling condition of affairs. And yet. the ex
posure and conviction of recreant officials,
both in the Government, In banks and in
surance and trust companies, are excellent
signs of a return to a better day. Men can
no longer hope to misappropriate trust
funds, accept bribes and rob the Govern
ment without being publicly disgraced and
punished. There has been a great lack of
conscience in this matter of official posi
tion. Streetcar companies put a metal
conscience on conductors and make them
"rirg tip" the faree. , Cash registers are
placed In stores in order to make the con
scle'nce of the clerks work correctly. We
may have to put a metal conscience on our
city officials so as to make them "ring up"
when temptations to graft and bribery are
presented.
All gambling and betting are stealing.
It is simply an effort to receive something
for nothing. It Ls remarkable how prevalent
the gambling spirit is. Children play mar
tiles or match pennies for "keeps." Young
men and women risk their money on the
outcome or a race or games of baseball or
football. Women's card clubs lose their
zest if prizes are not at stake. Men gam
ble In stocks and In a thousand other ways.
Jerry McAuley, the great rescue mission
worker, said he had seen many a drunkard
saved, many a libertine purified, many a
common thief made honest, but of ail the
gamblers he had known he could count on
his fingers the number that had been
saved. This form of stealing seems to
harden the feelings and sear the conscience
and damn- the soul. Gambling Is Just as
