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
