THAT Jovial, laughing farce, "Seven Days." presented last evening at the HeHlg, more than sustained its reputa tion as being one of the best comedies sent out from New Torlc In many sea sons. "Being a combination of curious cir cumstances, related by Mary Roberts Klnehart and Avery Hopwood." auys the programme, but It might more aptly be called a cataclysm of concentrated cach Innattons. with folk holding their sides with laugh-pains before the end of the first day of the seven. Ths swing is substantially the same as In the book. All the ludicrous situations snd the es sence of merriment have been extracted from It. and tied together with an ex cellent company and handsome settings, snd It Is a prolonged scream. A few members of New York's smart set meet for a dinner and are quaran tined along with a policeman, a burglar, and the host's ex-wife. Like unto bhermsn's characterisation of war are the vicissitudes the trapped burglar un dergoes, what with changing constantly his hiding plsces. starving In the chim ney, roasting behind the stove snd elsi lug up and down the wood elevator. While perhaps the Idea of a quaran tine that bands the characters of a play for oomedy and dramatic purposes. Is neither new nor original, the subject Is. given such a strikingly new and unique treatment lu "Seven Daya" that the re sult Is vastly satisfying and tremend ously funny. Given "Bubbles" Brown, celebrating his divorce anniversary; his former wife, who "haa Just dropped In to see the cook." ostensibly, but in truth to see her desr "Bubbles" sgaln; given, too. sn sg gre4ve aunt. Sellna. who Is "Bubbles' " pocketbook, whose attitude toward Ufa Is summed up in her words. "Divorced people, whisky and low-neck gowns are whst hell Is made of," add to these a policeman who haa come to call on the cook, a burglar who has called, the first guest In fsct to help himself to whatso ever may be lying around; add. too. a nice, accommodating damsel. Kit. who consents to pose ss "Bubbles' " wife for a brief two hours during the visit of the aunt, and put In three other characters, an awfully nice man who la fond of Kit. but can't tell her so. for he thinks she's Mrs. "Bubbles." and two kindly souls. Mr. and Mrs.. Dallas Brown given all these (oik. all the elementa of fun de veloped by the unusual situations, there Is a fat laugh In every word and Interest from curtain to curtain. There Is little to choose In the cast. Scsrcely If ever has a better balanced one appeared at a local theater. To Aubrey Boattle la given the respon sibilities) of the role of the sdlpose Bub bles. In which hs Is genuinely funny: Edward Lor.gman Is easily one of the funniest comedians, working along In a quiet, smooth way that Is In Itself the seme of dellghtfulness. as Dallas Brown. Jessie McAllister Is a fascinating Kit McNalr. who substitutes for "Bubbles' " wife, and Madeline Wlnthrop makes a mighty fetching . ex-wlfe. Margaret Bourne gathers In a lot of garlands for her psychla movements and spiritual chatter as Anne Brown. Florence Robinson Is the aggressive Aunt Sellna. William Wadsworth Is a quiet and long-drawn-out mirth-producer as the prowling burglar; P. 8. Bar rett la the aqueaky-ahod policeman and Ben F. Wilson Is Tom. the good-looking man whom Kit prefers. As an antidote for blue devils. "Seven Days." at the Helllg all week. Is an ex cellent prescription. WHERE JO DINE. An the delicacies of ths season at tha Portland Restaurant.

In fKe oreheatra ware evidently touched at the unusual warmth accoroea tneir piayina. play almost as well every night when . . . . . . -.-.-W .ti to nnn. tne inwirr - - - musical audiences. Yesterday's audi ence was a musical one. The only orcnestrai soioisi was n. fins effect Popp's "Hungarian Csardaa." air. aliuara sep mat vv . w i ihal 1 f lnalrait aa If tie were playing from memory, and trie musical enact was neigmvu.u cv-w-Ingly. The two principal voesl soloists, Mrs. Elfreda Heller Welnsteln. dra matic soprano, and B. Edward Reea. lyrle tenor, sang with an ability that won hearty recalls. Mrs, Welnsteln Is one of the very best among Portland's light dramatic sopranos, and her sing ing of the "Aids" aria. "Rltorna Vlncl tor." and the "Rattle Cry" from Wag ner' "Valkyrie'' showed tbe remark able musical progress1 she has made in the paat few months. There Is a new repression In her singing until the proper moment for vocal dynamlo effect arrives, and a beautiful finish in her vocalisation that Is a real pleasure to hear. Her voice, too. Is gslnlng In volume without losing any of Its tonal beauty, and she deserves all the more credit for the artistry she displayed, when It Is re membered that the solos she sang hsve recently been Interpreted In this city by eminent visiting artists. MYs. Welnsteln also sang from mem ory, a vocal feat that can be com mended. Mr. Reea, wbo Is a "stranger In our midst." haa an unusually high-set tenor voice ef natural beauty and clarity, and hla singing wss kindly received. His roles Is a rare one and he deserves credit for the difficult music he sang and the good appearance he made. Quartets Are Effective. Mrs. Welnsteln. Miss Brown. Mr. Rees and H. Q. Whlpp sang two quar tets In effective atyle, the "Robin Hood" one being notable for Its nov elty aa part of a concsrt programme. The other quartet, from Verdi's "Rlgo letto." Is more familiar and haa a weloome sound. The contralto In these quarteta was Miss Grace Brown, formerly of Med ford. Or., who sang at very ebort no tice. In place of Mrs. Del phi ne Marx. who la ill. Miss Brown, whose parents sang in the Andrews Opera Company, made a fine appearance and aang ao well that she ought to be heard again at these concerts. Mr. Whlpp's voice Is one of both depth and good quality and he Is a "find." The vocal chorus won new laurels In the "St. Cecilia." Tannhaeuser" and "Creation" exerpta and in the latter a trio was effectively given by Mra. Rose Bloch Bauer, B. Edward Rees and Fred erick T. Crowther. D. C Rosebrook directed at the orchestral concert aad XV. H. Poyer at the vocaL a j.iaa rtiia wuirn . Mag Annla G Irani I HALL CAINE never wrote a stronger play than "The Christian," which opened at the Baker Theater yesterday afternoon. While the atory In both book and dramatised form has been received by some with Intense bitterness and fierce denunciation and others have ac corded to it the most glowing eulogies, everyone is resdy to admit that neither book nor play Is ordinary. Whstever Its merits or demerits. "The Christian" induces serious thought on the problems which Its author Intended to aet before us. While It attracts greatly through Its deep religious atmos phere and powerful dramatic construc tion. It Is on the face a love-story In which tragical complications Is Intro duced by the passion Inspired for one another by two natures radically op posed. One might go so far as to con jecture that the author'u doctrine Is that of hereditary Innuence, inasmuch as al most every scene and Incident in the story turns on the apparently hopeless relation existing between two natures so fundamentally dissimilar, yet powerfully drawn to each other by a mutual love; Glory Quayle. the granddaughter of a French actress and a daughter of a fanatical devotee: John Storm, the son of a saintly mother and of a father de voted to worldly schemes. In the hands of the Baker players the tempestuous lives of these two fiction favorites again ecome delightful reali ties. Thurston Hall, departing widely from his former dramatic Impersona tions, opened a new field of endeavor for himself, and scored a triumph with his fervid and Intensely sincere work as John Storm, an unusual and difficult type. Mr. Hall delivers his big speeches with ringing and Impassioned eloquence, and the applause often drowns his utter ances at times. An excellent piece of characterisation la afforded In the smoothly-polished villain, clean-cut as a cameo. In Its delineation by J. Frank Burke aa Lord Robert Ure. Frank Denlthorne In the role of Horatio Drakik plays sympa thetically and straight Into the good graces of his audience. He is one of the most finished and thoroughly com mendable artists In the entire company, and his recent addition to the local or ganisation Is a matter of rejoicing amongst patrons. Ida Adair makea a distinct appeal with her Glory, which she plays with an evanescent charm and depth of sincerity that Is electrical In Its effect. To Brenda Fowler Is given one of the best of character roles, that of poor, pretty Polly Love. Miss Fowler gets everything out of the part that Is in It. and does It particularly" well, too, looking like a plump edition of Una Cavalllerl the while. Clever character portraits are etched In Lillian Andrews' Mrs. Callendar with a Scotch bur-r so natural that Harry Lauder would sit up and take notice. John Burton as the Archdeacon Wealthy, which gives lis a new and serious view of the comedian: Marshall Farnum as Father Lomplugh: Ronald Bradbury, most austere ss John's father: Henry Stockbrldge. as a faro king In mus tsches. and an exceptionally meritorious bit of acting by Walter Gilbert as Brother Paul. Polly's brother. Scenery, in every sense artistic and fitting, graces the presentation. J DRKAM CTTT," I A Musical Comedy, Book by Edgar Smith. Muale by Victor Herbert, Presented by Mag Dill at the !

Maria Laura Oakley Amanda Boggs Edith Whlteley Maude Rose Bronson Mabel Myrtle Alsora we VX DILL, formerly of Kolb A Dill, I two of the best-known funmakers on the Pacific Coast; greeted his old friends In Portland at the Bungalow yesterday afternoon In "Dream City," a laughable musical comedy. Yet there was something missing. It was Kolb. These two comedians were together so long that one Is associated with the other and it is difficult for the theater going publld to realize that differences have separated tbe pair. Dill was greeted with loud applause and the au dience Instinctively looked for Kolb. There Is a tone of pathos when Dill falls to sleep and dreams that he has sold his farm to an enterprising real es tate shark for the purpose of building a city, and after his dream Is depicted In scenes of revelry with himself as Msyor of Dream City, he awakens and rejoices that It was only a dream after all and be la still a farmer. The sup port given Dill Is not what It should be. or his superiority over his com pany makes the difference glaring. Roger Gray, as Seth Hobbs. and Dill. In the role of August Dinglebender, a Long Island truck farmer, are respon sible for all the laughs, although the angular Laura Oakley, aa Dingleben der s wife, makes a hit with her per sonal appearance and keeps the audi ence guessing as to her gender on ac count of her masculine voice and de meanor. Percy V. Bronson Is a typical real estate boomer and handles his part to good advantage. The remainder of the cast are clearly fillers. The chorus "puts up a good front." but Is not trained to that fine finish that gives grace and ease and. uniform ity of action that delights an audience appreciative of chorus technique.
