"The Nigger." which camo to the Helllg; last evening for a week s stay. Is an Inter esting, rigorous bit of stern if, in artlstlc realism. For one thing, the problem of South ern lynchlngs Is set forth clearly and without prejudice. One might construe the audiences- vociferous applause as either dlsaprobatlon or approval of lynchlngs. or that It was a demonstra tion due sololy to the fine quality of the acting. The first act is of photographic ac curacy. In a beautiful moonlit garden young Phil Morrow, candidate for Gov ernor, la rounding out his courtship of Ueorgiana Byrd. and a mutual avowal has placed them In each other's arms. A sudden clatter of horse's hoofs, cries of men. tind the deep-tongued baying of dogs, the frensled entrance of old Mammy Jinny, Incoherently pleading for her son Joe. tells the audience that a black assailant of a white girl is being hunted to be burned at the stake. From the bushes, grovelling like a snake, Joe crawls, falling In a pitiable hetp at Morrow's feet. Though he has only an abhorrence for black monsters who destroy. Morrow thinks It his of ficial duty, as Sheriff of his county, to lodge the cowering Joe In jail. iris efforts are futile, for the band of lynch ers, led by the dead girl's father, seize the negro, and drag him struggling and screeching away. A flare of light, the hoarse growl of maddened men ap peased, the ahrleks of the burning wretch dying awa In a long drawn note of animal pain, leaves the audience shrinking and shivering. Then it Is that Morrow deplores his Inability to enforce tha law. "Don't feel so badly about It. dear," says Georgians, "it Is dreadful, but It Is right: and, after all, he's only a nigger." The play proceeds with Morrow as Governor of his state. His election has come about lnrgely through the efforts of his cmisln. Noycs, the owner of a dis tillery. The prohibition question la brought In. and Morrow signifies his Intention of signing the bill, as he be lieves that most of the outrages by ne groes come of drunkenness. This en rages Noyes. and precipitates the play's disaster, for Noyes hus proof that Mor row's grandmother was a quadroon. High bred, with a keenly Intellectual personality, the sudden knowledge par alyses Morrow, mentally and physically. He can parry matters by vetoing the anti-whisky measure. In which case Noyes will give ever all proof of his discovery. Noyes alone knows tha se cret. The terrible struggle ends by Morrow signing the .bill, removing his love dream and publicly declaring that he is a "nigger." and that he Intends devoting his life to the welfare of other "nig gers." The ultra-dramatic and ethnological factor of the play Is the love story of Morrow and Georgiuna. Before the disclosure of his necro blood. Morrow has said "A gill of black blood In any man makes him a negro:" that "a nig ger Is an animal, not a human being." When he learns of his own birth he tells her that, of course, they cannot marry, while the girl recoils from him with Instinctive aversion and disgust. There It Is that the small stream of black blood, the negro animalism, breaks out and turns tha polite lover Into a beast. The girl writhes and screams at his touch, and beats him in the face. To her he la only a dreadful black mon ster. Later she comes, supplicant, pleading for him to marry her; that naught else matters but their love. Which shows convincingly that the author's South Is evolved from his Inner consclouswws. His treatment of the all-absorbing question of a marriage between a white woman and a man touched ever so light ly with the tar brush. Is most fantastic In substance. No woman of Georglana Byrd'a birth and education, far leas a Southern woman, would dream of mating with a negro. And ahe would call him a negro or a darkey. No Southern lady. In conversing or In addressing negroes, calls them "nig gers." The csst Is remarkable for Its balance. Its Intelligence and Ita capability. A discussion onslhe acting resolves Itself Into a discussion of Thurlow Bergen as Morrow. Florence Roberts as Georglana and George Barbler as Noyes. Mr. Ber gen Is convincing, which Is better than being startling. H invests a most dif ficult and delicate role with nobility and sentiment and a wonderful reserve power as well. Miss Roberts, grown thinner than when last here, leaves the impression, as ever, of the conscious emotional ar tist. Her role of Georglana la given carefully, wisely, painstakingly and suc cessfully. As Noyes. George Barbier Is Impres sive and plays with such assurance and ardor that he made himself a great fa vorite with last night's audience Louise Rial as Mammy gives a highly creditable piece of emotional work. The play Is beautifully staged. "The Nigger" will be at the Helllg all week, with a Saturday matinee only. .eeeeaaesssseeeeeeeT j "THE HONOR OF THE FAMILY." !A Comedy Drama in Poor Acts From French of Balzac, Produced at the Baker Stock Company.

The riddle was solved at the Baker Theater yesterday afternoon. It waa solely to let the production get into stork and enable Donald Bowles to ap pear In It. They say, and "they" seemingly speak with authority, that this Is Mr. Bowles, farewell week with the com pany. Whether or not this Is true, a play better adapted to fix him firmly and faithfully in the memories of his admirers and their name Is legion could not have been selected than this romantic tale from the French of Bal xac. It affords Mr. Bowles far-reaching opportunities as- the devil-may-care swash-buckler Phlllippe. who appears at his doddering old uncle's home Just in time to take a hand In a game played on the aged man by a pretty vixen and her lover, the woman having won the old miser's affection and using It as a power to wrest from him all his prop erty. Phlllippe, debonair. happy-go-lucky, and quite )naster of all situations by previous arrai-gement with the play wrlRht, throws the plotters into conster nation when he .assumes management, not only of the servants, but of his weak-minded uncle and the two arch cotuipirators as well. Mr. Bowles plays the role with a good nature that makes ltseir felt across the footlights, treading In his comedy right on the heels of buf foonery, snd yet making always a nice discrimination. The glitter and fasci nation of real danger lurks ever behind the smiling countenance Mr. Bowles gives Phlllippe, and even the tones of his voice as he bandies gay repartee has hints of all the dire calamities he later visits upon the heads of the wicked. Mabel Cameron plays the role of Flora, the young adventuress with a naive dig nity and broad power that' Is tittle le6S than fascinating. Her Flora Is graceful, animated and especially pleasing to the eye. A genuine and appealing characterlxa tlon of a mentally Infirm old man, en tangled through his great affection for her In the machinations of the clever schemer, is given by John Burton as Rouget, the uncle of Bridau. Hugh Dillman. as GUet, the lover and co-consplrator of Flora, plays with com mendable vigor. Beatrice Nichols gives a very pretty Impersonation of a maid, quite out of keeping, too, with the ac cepted rules laid down for such roles. Notably good, too.

Young OWING to a delayed train, the "Bro ken Idol" did not open at the Bunga low with a matinee yesterday afternoon, as had been announced, but gave the first performance last night. Not for some time hus there been such a good show on at the Bungalow as this musical' of fering. The music and songs are bright and catchy, the chorus targe, the girls pretty and winsome and the stage set tings attractive. The story deals with Jack Mason, a newspaper man in love with Marlon P-ugaley. whose auntie Insists she shall marry an English Lord. Much of tha comedy of the play is served by "Doc Whatt?" who passes himself aa a friend of the "I-ord." to assist the Lord In winning the girl, whose father Is a wealthy merchant. When the party la visiting Chinatown, the "Doc" finds the demure Chinese maiden whom he mar ried and deserted, and It ts she who helps the young reporter when a plot ts laid for hia ruin. J. Ely Muddleford. interested In "bug ology." snd the husband of the scheming aunt: Silas Pugsley. the girl's father, and "Doc." the pretended Lord, spend a "night out" In Chinatown. When the trio are nursing their sore heads the following morning, word comes that they killed a Chinese merchant In their an tics of the night before. The fun reaches the high water mark when theae three attempt to eccape Justice. At the cru cial moment It Is discovered that It was the head of a Chinese Idol broken off In stead of a Chinaman killed. News is also received that the father of the girl haa become penniless. The lord with draws hia suit. "Doc" acknowledges du plicity and makes up with his Chinese wife, and all ends well. Don A. McMillan, as the "Doc." brings a laugh wtth every appearance. Perle Bartl. as Marlon Pugsley. and Earle Dewey, as Jack, the lovelorn reporter, have good voices and carry their parts well, as can also be aaid of the entire cast. The hit in songs was "Love Makes the World Go Around." sung by. Jack I I - L I I !

Glee Club Audience Calls Repeatedly lor More l nlversttT of Oregon Men Make Merry With Sew Sougs and Skits at the Helllg. iy )RE! more: more! 1 I That was what the audience at the Helllg Theater demanded of the Universitj- of Oregon Glee and Mando lin Club Saturday night. Repeated encores of each number told the success of the university men, who are now in the middle of their annual tour. Theatrical stars have ap peared at the Heiiig this season; drama musical comedy and opera have Bcored their successes; but r.o greater hit has been made than that of Saturday night. Every seat in the theater waa occupied. It was a mixed audience of critical ap pearance and was swept away by col lege talent. "The performance and concert was not the average university "rah! rah!" and merriment of college life that car ries with It recollections of youth and Inspiration to the juvenile. It was a programme of musical numbers, sketches and specialties that would give any audience Its money's worth. The feature of the entertainment was the presentation of William Lai. a Chi nese, tenor soloist. The audience looked for a comedy act. but when Lai' appeared and sang It sat up and tooK notice. Lat not only has a fine voice, but knows how to use it. In "I'll Sing Three Songs of Araby." Lai surprised the audience and received repeated en cores. His nationality was not forgot ten; it added to the enthusiasm. The Suffragette Trio, written and sung by Rafael Geisler and Francis Curtis, both of Portland, and Jerry Martin, of Klamath Falls, was a sketch the audience appreciated with several encores. Attired tn bloomers and perox ldlzed wigs, the trio appeared, and the plaintive wail, "Oh, why don't Oregon let us vote?" at the end of each stanza, caused a loud demonstration In the audience. Their appearance In hobbles In response to one of the encores made a big hit. In the closing sketch, "At Dope Cen ter," the German band, a good bur lesque on "The Hungry Seven." minus one. was highly appreciated, and In re sponse to the encore. Burns, Powell played a trombone solo beyond the amateur class, and the audience was not satisfied until it heard more. The sketch showed the Glee and Mandolin Club marooned at a country tavern, the manager taking the best room In the house while "the boys" re mained in the office, waiting for a train that was six hours late. To pass the time, the village constable waa called, and as a Joke he was introduced to the crowd as a congregation of Ger man students. William Lai brought the house down when he answered the in troduction in a palaver of Chinese. I. M. Glen, the faculty member, who trained "the club, also came in for his share of encores by singing In Italian, and each time the chorus and mando lin club appeared, they were required to sing and play more. If the University of Oregon, Glee and Mandolin Club should appear again. It is safe to say that there would not be standing room. BRINK'S SONG IS SUCCESS People's Amusement Company Pre sent Many Pleasing Films. The picture shows presented yester day by the People's Amusement Com pany were of unusual excellence.

It represents a miniature steamer on the ocean under the rays of the searchlight from the towering lighthouse. The pictures, four In num ber, were varied and well blended. For Wednesday's change the manage ment will feature "The Millionaire Cowboy." the most-talked-of picture ever exhibited.
