committee of the Executive Board this
week, when it will he decided what will
be done. It will also be decided whether
th- building will be of brick or frame
construction. For brick the cost ranges
between and ,16.000. and for a
frame building the cost will be $10,000.
which is about the amount I .'ft in the ap
propriation for this engine-house. Mount
Tabor pjple are anxious to have the
work go fniward on the frame structure
rather than have the erection of the
building delayed until n?xt year as ap
proved by the Mount Tabor Push Club.

South Portland Boosters Form. For
the purpose of securing a nil for the

was formed last night by 60 South Port
land residents, adopting "South Portland
Boosters" as Its name. The meeting was
held in th library of St. Lawrence
Church, at Third and Slr?rman streets.
Another meeting will be held at the same
place next Tuesday evening. An ordi
nance drafted for presentation to the City
Council bv Councilman Belding will be
prepared. John Hcitkemper was elected
president. C H. Feldman vice-president,
a Weber treasurer and B. C. Jones sec
retary. Boulevard Repairs Wanted. An effort
will be made to have Willamette. Port
land and Columbia boulevards repaired
and kept in better condition. The Willam
ette boulevard between North Albina and
St. John Is in good cqr.dttion. but on to
Morris street it is always in need of
repairs. The county will be asked to
put moro work on these roads and keep
them In as good condition as the Base
Line and Section roads. It Li not atall
likely that the City Council will make
streets of these boulevards in face of the
strong opposition by the property owners.
The Christian Brothers' Colleob
Bazaar will open Monday. October 23,

Mikado's Subject Private Secretary
of Ben Crockett Tells of
Court's Plans.
Mrs. Ben Crockett, wife of the ex-Stata
Treasurer of Washington, with her son
and Mr. Crockett's private secretary,
passed through Portland yesterday en
route to Los Angeles. The private sec
retary is an educated Japanese, Martin
M. Kamouchi. Mrs. Crockett called at
the Oregon Hotel to visit friends and
left last evening on the 7:45 train for
Los Angeles with her son and private
secretary.
Kamouchi said the party was en mute
to Los Angeles on business. He knew
the Japanese and his white bride who
were married In Seattle Saturday, and
seemed, to deplore the Incident.
"The Seattle man. Nakajama. Is a
tailor and was no credit to our people.
I do not think the woman is much
thought of by the Americans, either.
"I have been a concessionaire at the
Seattle Fair, but at the close of the ex
position I became the private secretary
for Mr. Crockett, who 1b in the show
business with John Cort. We will meet
Mr. Cort In Los Angeles. He is pre
paring to build a new theater in that
city. Mr. Cort Is now in Salt Lake and
Mr. Crockett is going to Denver. They
will return to Los 'Angeles together. We
will then go to Long Beach, where Mr.
Cort expects- to put In a 'Joy-wheel,' sim
ilar to the one he had at the Seattle
Exposition. "
' "Of course you have heard of the
woman from Denver who married a Jap
anese in Seattle early in the week. They
were both respected by the people and no
harm can come of this match."

AFTER the salaciousnesB of the aver
age musical comedies, the little Irish
play, "Ragged Robin," in which debonair j
Chauncey Olcott opened a four-night en-
gagement last evening at the Bungalow,
is like unto a window opened to admit
a breath of fresh air into an illy venti
lated room.
Whether or not one has Irish bloofl tn
his veins, matters only a little. There is
something so irresistible about this
simple story of peasant life in Ireland,
with its quaint folk, and their belief In
the fairies that somehow it gots fast
hold on your hearts loose strings and
draws them well into tune.
In the name of Chauncey Olcott there
is a certain magic, which theatergoers,
who have once seen him. never attempt
to resist. "Ragged Robin" is the very
best thing he has done in yvars, and is
essentially an Olcott play. Rida 'John
son Young, and Rita Olcott. who collab
orated on the story in the early '30s, laid
its scenes at Innishanr.on and it is here,
in a country rich In picturesque and de
lightful fairy folk lore, of mischievous
will o'the-'.virps dancing over the bog, of
the Jeprahaun or shoemaker who can be
heard always in'the wooded nooks tap
ping the slippers of Ills queen, of whirl
ing praver-laden leaves, of bonshee croon,
of elves and little people of the forests
that the beautiful story is unfolded.
Needless to say that Chauncey Olcott
Is Ragged' Robin. Ae a lovable wanderer
a happy-go-lucky singing minstrel, wel
come everywhere for his gift of song he
sings his way along life's highways and by
waja, the blue dome his roof, the birdB
and flowers his friends and his faithful
old dog companion. Mr. Olcott imbues
the role of the happy, cheerful fellow,
who believes in fairies, with a personal
ity that could emanate only from himself.
He is the leading exponent of the tradi
tional Irish drama, and puts Into his in
terpretation a gay comradery and atmos
phere that needs must be his own.
The play furnishes an opportunity for
Mr. Olcott to again sing a group of Irish
songs. His voice has lost none of its
sweet and vibrant charm, and is as strong
as ever. Like De Wolf Hopper, who al
ways recites Casey. Mr. Olcott always is
importuned to sing "My Wild Irish
Rose." This rule held good last night
In an Inimitable manner, after a capital
little curtain speech.
Of the beautiful scenic effects too much
praise cannot be given. They are educa
tional. From an artistic basis they are
revelations. The opening of the golden
dawn, the glories of the new born day,
the peat bog. the Interior of the quaint
home, are faithfully shown-.
It is a play that children will appre
ciate. Like Maude Adams in her always
to be remembered Peter Pan, the fairy
belief Is a keynote that will appeal and
leave a memory of something good and
different.
As Mr. Olcott himself Is all there can
be In an Olcott play, one hardly remem
bers the rest of the company. However,
the present cast is decidedly satisfactory.
Praise must go to Rose Curry, who aa
Margaret Grattan is both capable and
charming.

THERE are some plays which have en
Joyed many years of popularity and
each succeeding year seems to become
mors popular, and among these is "In
Old Kentucky." which, with its typical
blue grass atmosphere. Its race hersea
and Its charming heroine, opened a week's
engagement before two packed houses at
the Baker Theater yesterday.
For 17 years "In Old Kentucky" has
been on the road and It is pretty well
understood by all theatergoers. The
company which produces the play at the
Baker is up to the average. Several
memberajjf the cast are highly capable
actors and the Pickaninny band is a de
cided hit, for it is compoeed of 16 darkle6
of the genuine TMxle type, and Southern
melodies, as well as the plantation pranks
please all.
The part of the heroine. Madge Brierly,
who rides Queen Be6s to victory. Is por
trayed by a highly capable, pretty young
actress bearing the unpretentious name
of Mildred Johnson. Decola Delaro
(nothing spaghetti about her) who enacts
the part of Alathea Layson, the Colonel's
ideal, is exceptionally good, especially in
the tree-climbing scene. Frank Dayton,
as the hero, reads his lines well, and
Burt G. Clark, as the Colonel, is a Ken
tucklan of the old school. Joseph Slaytor,
as the vlllian. and Duncan Penwarden
as the mountaineer are very good. Unele
Neb's make-up could be improved. "In
Old Kentucky" at the Baker until Wed
nesday night.

IT WAS entirely the same old Eddie Fty
a little -older and not so loose of
Joints, perhaps yet the same Eddie, who
opened at the new Portland Theater last
night for a sojourn of seven performances
iu "Mr. Hamlet of Broadway." While
time has done several notable things to
him physically since he was last here the
same grotesque makeups are with him
and the same subtle methods, rendering
him a paradox as to methods, yet irre
sistibly funny as to results.
It isn't a burlesque on Hamlet. It Is
a lively, tuneful splendidly-staged and
finely appointed musical extravaganza, in
which there isn't a homely broiler or a
tuneless voice. Foy basks for a few
brief moments in the spotlight as the
mirthless Dane but he promptly trans
figures that doleful character into a per
sonage of hilarious fun. By a quick suc
cession of antl climaxes he brings on a
spontaneous and continuous upheaval of
mirth. Not that his lines are clever.
They're not. being mainly trite and
strained. But they afford a play for the
Foy personality and the Foy mannerisms;
which is altogether sufficient. He denies
at the outset that Hamlet was the great
Dane and suggests that anyone not agree
ing with him ask Joe Gans.
For the most part, "Mr. Hamlet, of
Broadway," deals with the troubles and
frivolity of a party of Summer boarders
in the Adirondacks. Foy, as Joey
Wheeze, develops in the form of a derelict
circus performer, who' is engaged by a
desperate innkeeper to play Hamlet in
an amateur production given by the
boarders.
Foy isn't worked very hard doubtless
out of consideration for the cares he
must have in conjunction with that fam
ily of 19 children his press agent vouches
for but the Intervals between his inter
mittent appearances are delightfully
filled in. There is no end of catchy music
and striking ensemble effects. A typical
Broadway chorus was kept working to
the point of exhaustion, especially on the
"Hornpipe Roe," which is Just a bit
risque, by the way.
The principals are all capable people
and the chorus is one of the very best
that has chanced along In years. Among
the song hits are "Goodby Molly Brown"
in which much cleverness and a good
voice are displayed by Miss Belle Gold;
"Everything1 on Gold." in which Foy gives
his musical education an airing, and the
"Hornpipe Rag," already referred to.
.Everyone that could possibly be crowded
into the house made up the first night
audience. All the seats were sold out in
the advance sale. It was an energetic
assemblage, too, as the hard-working star
and chorus had ample reason to learn
during the' course of the evening. "Mr.
Hamlet of Broadway" will continue
through Friday night, with a matinee
Wednesday.

WO men there were, and both
named Bill,
And each did work the other 111."
A medley of "tun is "Hello Bill," as
presented by the Athon Stock Company
this week at the Lorlc playhouse. In toe
form of a musical comedy, the produc
tion is a continuous round of laughs, j
long and hearty. Robert Athon, as Wll
Ilan Fuller, is, easily first money. He ra
diates good wholesome humor. On the
eve of his prospective wedding day,
"Bill" is arrested in a raid on a gamb-
ling den. To keep his bride-to-be from
learning that he must go to Jail, Bill
employe the aid of a friend who has a ma
nia for "fixing matters." The latter sees
in the paper that a Colonel William
Fuller has been appointed a General and
ordered to the front. Bill tells his wife
that he is the William Fuller ordered to
report for service to his country, and
leaves for the front, in reality to spend
the three months in Jail.
About this trouble-breeding plot, the
story revolves in rapid fire order. Bill
does nothing but extricate himself from
one falsehood only to step into another
one. Mr. Athon makes the character a
wholesome good natured one, and re
ceives much applause. As the wife, who
has a little fibbing to attend to, is ex
cellent In the hands of Prisrilla Knowles.
She has also an opportunity to display
some extremely handsome gowns. Miss
Knowles is as irresistible In comedy roles
as she is in her well-known dramatic
work.
The genuine General William Fuller li
portrayed by Jack Bennett, who gives a
faithful type of the outraged old gen
tleman. The chap who fixes things is
most ably handled by Will D. Howard.
An Innovation of decided Interest is the
Interpolation of musical numbers, spe
cialties and an ensemble finale, in which
all the members of the cast appear.

A New Departure
The cost of Interments have been
greatly reduced by the Holman
Undertaking Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for
all Incidentals connected with a fu
neral. The Edward Holman Undertak
ing Company, the leading funeral di
rectors of Portland, have departed from
that custom. When casket is furnished
by us we make no extra charges for
embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside
box or any services that may be re
quired of us, except clothing, cemetery
and carriages, thus effecting a saving
of $25 to J75 on each funeral.
