At the meeting of the Sallwood Board of Trade. Tuesday night, at the rooms of the Sellwood 4'. M. C A., the mem bers went on record as opposed to a municipal garbage plant, but decided to ask the city to devise means to solve the problem, which was declared to be acute In Sellwood and In other suburbs. It was the sense of the club that If the city undertook to establish a garbapre plant and manufacture fer tilizers It would require more bonds and open opportunity for mismanage ment and graft, and hence the club favored disposal of garbage through a corporation. Opposition to the $1, 000.000 school bond issue was mani fested until it was shown that part of the money would be used for the establishment of an Industrial High School in the South East Side.

JVfA-DAME SARAH BERNHARDT. I I world famous actress, yesterday presented for the Grpheum audiences -a one-act drama, "A Christmas Night," the co-work of Maurice Bernhardt and Henri Cain. This is one of Madame Bernhardt's favorite plays It was written for her and she has presented It with great acclaim in Paris and London. The action of the story is in the year 1793, during the French revolu tion. The scene is the kitchen of a farmhouse on a Vendean farm. The Chouans, so-called because they used the hoot of an owl as their rallying signal, are waging bitter war with the Blues, or regular soldiers in the revo lutionary army. The Chouans, 'under Comte de Kersant, have been defeated and the Countess and her little daugh ter, disguised as peasants, have taken refuge In the farmhouse. Shortly after the reDublican army comes trooping In and makes this place part of its headquarters. With them is Marlon, the vivandlere, who is a former actress, who has been carried away by the Impetus of the revolution, and with her merry, witty way has come to be adored with the Dattauon. Bernhardt Is Marlon. She wears gayly-colored costume, with a saucy red cockade in her cap, and her little feet are clad in smart, blgh-neeiea boots. ' The role is so distinctly at variance with that of Lucrece, her opening bill, that comparisons can never be thought of. In this she is a saucy, pert vlvan dlere, tossing badinage with the sol diers, and chattering in friendly, house wifely fashion with the disguised Comtesse, who she believes to be the peasant she appears. Bernhardt, the divine, sits smilingly at a table and pares a potato in the most approved housewifely way. The Countess sitting near tries to pare a potato and makes a sorry mess or it. the lovely vivandlere laughs the golden laugh for -which Bernhardt is famous. Then quickly her merriment subsides, she snatches at the hands of the Countess remarks their fineness and denounces her. Then she sends for La Balafre, a veteran sergeant, but feel ing sorry for the unfortunate mother, who pleads wildly, Marlon dispatches the officer. Then the Countess di vulges her Identity. Suddenly the Count knocks at the door. He does not know the house is In possession of the Blues, and with a price upon his head has braved danger to see his little girl on Christ mas eve. Won by his heroism, Marion tildes htm just as he Is about to fall into La Balafre's hands. Then com mandant Renaud appears and at once suspects Marlon of concealing the Count, It is here that Bernhardt rises to tier great big dramatic height and by ca jolery, pleading, and finally denial,- resists the Commandant until tne count at length bursts from his hiding place. Then Bernhardt, as tne vivandier. turns on her companions, scores them, repudiates them, lashes them with her eyes and tongue, crying her shame for them, and imploring them not to stoop to the dishonorable office of the exe cutioner. The soldiers are carried away by Marlon's generous ardor just as the audience was carried Into enchantment by Bernhardt's wonderful artistry. Amid a scene of confusion, the Count is al lowed to escape, and Marion carries away the Countess and her little daugh ter. The play enos leaving a supero atmosphere of grandeur and heroism. Madame Bernhardt Is tne artist su preme throughout It. Her voice has the quality of wonderful music, her hands are poems of grace, and she makes the story a real and actual happening. Mons. Lou Tellegen is the Count and gives a very able perform SPECIAL MATINEE FRIDAY Extra Performance of 'Ben-Hur" to Be Given Tomorrow.
