Stephen Ghent Edwin Mordant Phillip Jordan. .Frederick Forrester WInthrop Newbury. .William H. Boyd ' Dr. Newbury Frank Wlllexd Polly Jordan Delia Knight Ruth Jordan Mabel Brownell Burt Williams G. K. Schllllnger An Architect Daniel Pannall A Contractor Charles Bunpaon IW Anderson J. U Clarks Dutch .....George Mason Pedro George Kingston A Boy Frederick Gilbert Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Charles W. Brooks IT seems to be a case of a fool woman who .whines through three acts something about having been "bought with a baUble" and a man full of red corpuscles and undeveloped decency that makes "The Great Divide" a tan gible barrier between Stephen Ghent and his wife. Since Henry Miller and his wife, Margaret Anglln. set the country talk ing about this play, some two years ago, we have heard great reports of It and the privilege of seeing it per formed .by a commendably efficient company came to Portland last night after the city's interest had been piqued to a point seldom aroused by a recent stage presentation. Unquestionably tne vaugnn moouj drama has merit, particularly that portion of it comprehended in the third act, but It is In a measure disappoint ing. There- are three acts, tho first and second transpiring In a remote section of Arizona, presumably in the region adjacent to the Grand Canyon. A girl left alone at night on the ranch which a cad of a brother and his two sisters had maintained, finds the premises, of which she is for the time being the sole occupant, invaded by three drunken ruffians. The dom inant character among, the three, Ghent, a big, masterful, primordial man. takes the matter into his own hands and by bluffing and purchase induces the others to leave the girl to him. She accepts the alternative of going to the nearest JuBtice of the Peace and becoming his wife, thereby surrendering the hope she has of mar rying a colorless young physician to whom her affections .have strayed. The second act shows the exterior of an adobe house some months later where Ghent and his wife are making their home. The husband's mine has turned out well and the man, who had gone down into the depths has been drawn back to stalwart, honest, well behaved manhood through the awak ening of his better nature. His re demption has brought a realization of higher things and he apparently makes every effort to win and merit the love of his wife. She. however, with morbid perversity, feeds herself upon maudlin self-pity a"nd seems ready to mope out the miserable existence she has planned for herself. At a Juncture when one has lost all patience with Ruth Ghent, her pusillanimous brother and a party of her former friends seek her out and persuade her -to abandon her husband and go back to New England notwithstanding the fact that a certain interesting event in her life is plainly forecasted. The curtain falls on the second act with her returning to the land wnere mey worshlD Emerson, and have annual heart throbs at tax-paying time, while Ghent Is left with no better prospect man a paying gold mine on the edge of the bad lands. n, firm I net oocurs In the old Massa chusetts home. Mrs. Ghent has returned to her mother's nouse ana na ourun k, I,. nhir.s she hates as only one with ingrowing Puritanism might hate her off spring. Her husband follows her there and through the good offices of the woman's mother and sister, meets his "wife for a final reckoning. Stephen Ghent's lines in the last act make the play biff in human Interest and on his great speech the play must rely for its right to literary permanence. The author more or less happily reumi.es uu nnri wife, although tt requires a Strain upon the imagination to conceive of happiness growing out oi sucn a raiser o t, miamntina-. The wife could not pos sibly understand such e man as Stephen Ghent, although many Stephen Ghents have made the same mistakes and the same weak surrenders that one charges b ' innii With. vAvrtn Mordant, a capital actor, who fcnj. heretofore established a vogue here, does the role of Stephen Ghent so well that I couldn't for a moment regret the h of Henry Miller. It Is doubtful if the orlsrlnal made a more likable human animal, moulded in a coarse-fibered pro spector. The unsympathetic character of Ruth, Ghent s wire, rails to jiaoci urau ell, who does as well as could reasonably bo expected, until her melodramatic out burst at the denounement, when her crass methods destroy much of the effectiveness of the play's big scene. Miss Brownell has much to learn and even more to uniearn. 1 us rr.v for her. A well-plaved small part is that of Polly Jordan, which is intrusted to Delia Knight a winsome ingenue. Mrs. jnariea w. Brooks rings splendidly trfle as the New England mother. "The Great Divide" engagement termi nates Wednesday night. There will be a matinee on that day. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheom. BT ARTHUR A GRBSXNBV DEMORALIZED railway schedules have no terrors for Manager Curtis Sutton, of the Orpheum, and In spite of the fact that one of his star acts was snowbound until too late to reach the city , in time for yesterday's per formance, tlse opening matinee of the Orpheum's latest week was one of the best within the memory of blase vaude ville patrons. The crowning feature of the show is a dramatic sketch called "The Van Dyck," which ends farcically but con tains a dozen surprises and keeps the audiences guessing as to whether it Is to be a genuine tragedy or not. It Is presented by Harrison Hunter and his little company In an admirable manner. Mr. .Hunter recalls memories of Kyrle Bellew at his best. He is an actor of exceptional merit, and his role as the gentleman thief is sustained In a most artlstio manner from the moment he appears on the stage until the curtain falls. The sketch contains so many clever lines and situations that one is held in a spell of conflicting specula tions until the startling denouement. The Orpheum sketch has never been more artistically presented than for this delightful sketch. The whole per formance of Mr. Hunter and his com pany in "The Van Dyck" raises the tone of vaudeville sketches. Of next importance on the interesting and varied programme la the turn pre- sented by Johnny McVeigh and his "College Girls." In their singing and dancing specialty, which they call "An Incident in a College Dormitory." The songs and dances which they introduce are calculated to hold the attention, the girls being by far the most impor tant adjunct. The show opens with the diverting bat-Juggling act of Paul La Croix, who does some amusing stunts with top hats. This humorous manipulator of has comes from Hammersteln's, in New Tork, and fully Justifies the expense of bringing; blm so far from Broadway to juggle. The KInsons do a novelty musical turn. In which one of the brothers imi tates a wide range of mnslcal instru ments, which strikes one as being en tirely pleasing, although not the sort of an act that might be expected to set the frozen Columbia on fire. The Har vey family, consisting of five people, who insist on being Identified by the programmer as "three ladles and two gentlemen." Why it Is necessary to go into these harrowing details is not clear, but It is evident that the girls and boys and "Mommer" are on the spot with the merchandise. The two young women who disport upon the tight wire are good enough without mater and the boys. In fact, they are the whole thing, so far as the act Is concerned. They are exceptionally clever wire dancers. A pretty man with bovine eyes and brigandish mustaches, both of which he seems to consider important to the fem inine members of the audience, plays the violin uncommonly well. He is down on the bill as the "Filipino Vir tuoso," and isn't at all bad, if some one would tell blm not to fascinate the women and make himself otherwise obnoxious. One of the big acts on tha list unfor tunately could not appear yesterday afternoon Seldom's "Venus," a series of statuary poses by living models, which has created a sensation else where. The act was on band for the night performance, and will be the most .discussed item In local vaudeville dur ing the week. The motion pictures were customarily good. In looking about for entertainment, you cannot afford to miss the Orpheum's offering. Grand. THE Grand this week Is so far ahead of Its bill last "week that the two bills are not even to be compared. It is an all-star programme, whereby it makes amends for last week's short age. "Buster Brown and his dog, Tige," is the feature act, but there are others on the bill equally pleasing. This playlet, which Is simply an animated comic supplement cartoon set to music, was received with great appreciation by the small fry constituting the major part of the audience, to whom this preco cious pen-and-ink creation and his partner in crime, Tige. more's the pity, are as familiar as the one-time monopoly of Mother Goose rhymes. The boy Buster is played by Master George Phelps, and Philip Dwyer may truthfully be said to lead a dog's life in his faithful portrayal of Tige. Did you ever try for two consecutive hours to drive a pig through a hole in the fence, or down a lane? And if you've noted the perfectly devilish Ingenuity and the high. Intellectual foreheads of the average porker, .you must have known some of them would break into vaudeville some day. One of the best acts, "The Farmer and His Pigs," as presented by Lll Kerslake and his trained porkers, was only on the boards yesterday, as Kerslake's leader pig died last night, and he can celed all tho rest of his circuit, leav ing this morning for the East. A couple of gymnasts are the Car sons, who dress In white and perform with a black background. There are gymnasts and then some more, but these fellows are headllners and worth the admission price by themselves. PeltchinK Brothers present a novelty musical act that is really a novelty. Their scene depicts a rose-covered Summer home, with great pots of flowers scattered carelessly about the lawn, which, somehow, seems a satire on this beautiful snow time we're en Joying. Anyway, these Peltchlngs, one of whom Is a German comedian, pro ceed to get muslo really tuneful, nice melodies out of the p'ots of flowers, the roses on the cottage, the garden rakes and themselves. Phil Stoats is a genuine comedian, who says he weighs 800 pounds, and looks 1L He is an advocate of the system of laughing, and appears to practice what he preaches. His planologue is good and a bit different from any one else. Emllle Benner, who by the way Is Mr. Staat's wife, and who sings a song of his composition, "Some Day When Dreams Come True." is one of the few female baritones In the whole world. She has retained her own in dividuality and personality, and Is not an Impersonator In any sense of the word. She's Just a good-looking woman, who dresses well and sings nice songs In a rich, clear baritone. Fred Bauer this week is singing, with new and picturesque slides, a favorite, Tn the Valley of Yester- 1 day." Pantages. ATJDEYILLE of the up-to-the-min ute scratch is being given at Pan tages this week. A picturesque bur lesque "The Matador," is laugh-producing, and is a take off on the modern bullfight. The cast consists of the pro verbial senorlta, her father, squat and Mexican, the brave, brave cowboy, and a maiden lady with a mission. W. A. Clayton is the cowboy, W. L. VIsscher Is the ugly dad, a promoter of bull fights, Chlquita, (with a fan In this June-like weather), is played by Kath ryn Glenn, and the maiden of uncertain years, who refers to the "he-cow's fight," is taken by Nellie Carpenter. Jasper, a moth-eaten donkey, with horns attached, plays the leading: roll of a ferocious bulL The musical feature of the bill Is the Southern Quartet, dusky singers and comedians and plantation' melodies. Rentfrew and Jansen offer a farce, entitled "The Second Mr. Fiddle," dealing with a stage-struck damsel, who gets a dummy so that she may rehearse her roles with more realism. A critic chances along, notes his re semblance to the dummy, and substi tutes himself for It, with an interest- Ing denouement, as Improbable as It Is ridiculous. Jean Wilson is in par ticularly good voice in his song "When the Old Mill Wheel Turns," and re ceives much applause. An act of importance Is given by the De Koch Brothers, who ars head to head, hand to hand, and heart to heart balancers. Their cast consists of two men. a stripling lad, ana an overgrown black French poodle. Their finish act is a column three high, with dogle forming the second pedestal. Leonard Kane, Is a lady-like chap, who dresses a la Colonial, and danoes quietly and gracefully. An additional numDer, not on me bill is given by Miss Majorle Clarke, who possesses a dramatlo soprano voice. G00DS0N , OPENS SEASON Portland Symphony Orchestra to Start Concerts Auspiciously.
