' " Victor Moore, Starring in "Talk of New York;' Springs New Jokes Actor Is' as Entertaining Off Stage as When Before Footlights Wears Smile Like Billiien, but Insists He Wants to Play Serious tarts in Heavy Drama. BY LEONE CASS BAER "At the close of the third act and in re sponse to repeated curtain calls and tu multous applause. Mr. Moore advanced to the footlights and spoke as follows: " At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Moore bowed and retired to his dressing room." . IT WAS in the above orglnal and some what "different" manner that Victor Moore introduced himself in response to a most insistent and enthusiastic cur tain call on his opening night at the Bungalow Theater, where he is starring as "Kid" Burns in "The Talk of New York." Victor Moore's humor is of the sort you don't read in the almanacs, and he oc casionally pays things in a quiet un obtrusive way that are startling in their difference from the prescribed and tradi tional brand of jokes and neaT wit the interviewee springe on the interviewer. Mr. Moore when loafing, is just as in teresting and radiates as much wholesale sunshine as he does when he treads the boards, and we pay so much per to ahsorb a bit of his jokes and song. If possible, he is more spontaneous and responsive when he isn't working, and might in truth be likened to that grin ning god of optimism the Billiken. Mr. Moore Just smiles and talks and smiles again. Its a nice sunshiny smile too makes you feel good all over. It's Im possible to imagine he ever had a blue devil tagging at his heels or even had a temperamental grouch. He is too sana and fat and Jolly to even lay a claim to a tcmierament. "I haven't had time to be about Port land much." said Mr. Moore, "but It cer tainly touches the right spot in my heart does your city and its people. Why. do you know. I actually feel the warmth and gladsomeness of the audiences, here. They reach right out and make me feel as if the welcome on the mat was sincere. It was different in Seattle coldest mob I ever saw. really It was discouraging to plav for them." Mr. Moore's voice is full and deep and quiet and its cadence lingers pleasantly. The character of ."Kid" Burns was orig inally invented by that wixard of musical productions, one George M. Cohan, and was featured in his "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway." Sine? then the slang and sayings of this ingratiating racetrack devotee have been quoted as classics in American expres sion. As a connoisseur in scrambled English "Kid" Burns is an epicure, and Mr. Moore interprets the Broadway slang in a manner delectable. He does not carry any volley of it outside his dressing room, however, does not order his meals in Bowerv ir.g. nor pepper his off hours conv?rsation with slang, any more than lie would wear his wig and grease paint on the street. He is just an unassuming gentleman, and has one big ambition burning a hole in his waist coat. He wants to play In a "drammer." "I used to be a heavy, and have played over a"i roles in stock work. Someday I'm going to do something really serious, and worth while." He smiled whimsical ly. "Oh. yes, I know all comedians have CLERKS' DAY SHORTER HAXF-HOCR TO BE CUT OFF J TASK NEXT YEAR. Change Is Result of Conference of Merchants With Labor Com missioner HOff. ' As the result of. a conference between O. P. Hoff. State Labor Commissioner, and the prominent merchants of Portland, it has been agreed by the latter that be ginning January 1, next, the hours of employment for clerks in department and other stores will be reduced one-half hour daily. It has not been decided yet whether the stores in effecting a shorter workday will close 30 minutes earlier at night or open for business half an hour later in the morning. Mr. Hoff reports that he explained at the conference that the schedule of hours followed by many of the stores, particularly so far as women were concerned, amounted to a technical violation of the state law which prohibits the employment of a woman for more than 10 hours a day or 0 hours each week. The effect of the agreement reached will be to insure for this class of em ployes a uniform workday of nine and one-half hours. This action was taken Independent of the movement which has been inaugurated by the Consumers' League, which is seeking to bring about the closing of all stores at 6 P. M. Sat urday, the same as on other weekdays. FISH HATCHERIES EXPAND Permanent Spawning Place in Co qaille River Promised. Master Fish Warden McAllister and the members of the State Board of Fish Com missioners have issued invitations to the formal opening of the Central Fish Hatchery at Bonneville next Monday. Those desiring to attend the ceremonies will find it convenient to leave on the train from Portland at 8 o'clock Monday morning. Returning, the party will reach the city at 6 P. M. Reports from the Coast .stream hatch eries are to the effect that few salmon as yet have reached the hatcheries or spawning grounds. This is due to the extremely low stage of water in all the streams, a condition not unusual at this season of the year. Even with this unfa vorable condition the catch at the various hatcheries has been an average one, while the quality of the salmon has been better than in years. Warden McAllister has made arrange ments to build a permanent hatchery on the Coquille River, where large numbers of both Chino)k and Silverside eggs have been taken in the past. Next year sim ilar stations will be established on t.ie Alsea and tho Nehalem. THROUGH SERVICE PORT LANDJ00MAHA. Through standard sleeper Portland to Omaha via Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railroad.

Mr. Moore is a most enthusiastic sports man' and has a reputation of being one of the best wing shots in the United States. "I'm going hunting tomorrow. I guess," he warmed up perceptibly. "I- could hunt every day of my life, if I had a chance. I went gunning twice while in Seattle, and I've been told there is tine sport about Portland, so I'm eagerly looking forward to my trip." In the room three Pomeranian canines, of the watch charm variety, played mer rily. Mrs. Moore, who is also in the cast, as Belle MeFadden is a dainty denure edition of feminine charms, and sits calmly around on trunks or steps in her big husband's dressing-room, and embroiders yards and yards of linen. 'For our boy child." she whispered. "We've a dear little fellow, t years old, back home." she says. "This will be a long, long trip away from him and I'm going to have him with me next year stire." she stoutly asserts. A picture of Victor Moore, Jr., stands on the star's dressing table, a study of a dear little mannie with big eyes and cheery smile, a small edition of his sire. "We've looked forward to this trip," said yr. Moore. "I was here once, over a doxen years ago. In the "Romance of Corn Hollow." and the changes are startling, more than a'dozen years would accomplish elsewhere. Why, some of the Eastern places. I've played in, haven't grown in two dozen years, and Portland is a wenderful place. I wish we could stay longer here."
