"Alias Jimmy Valentine." with Its thrills and moments of suspense. Its big thread of sentiment, and. worst of all. Its depictment of life on the "in side." as the crooks In the story call the prison life, has come again to the Baker Theater, and was given a splen did opening yesterday afternoon. Stock acting surely is a training school and makes exacting demands on its memoers. in "Alias Jimmy Valen tine," the actors have been fitted to the roles Paul Armstrong dramatized from O. Henry's book, and quite as truthfully the roles have been adjusted to fit the Baker players. It did not require much adjusting, cutting off of edges, .or adding on, however. The Baker players are an excellent all- round aggregation, and by reason ot natural ability each is qualified to play almost any role that stock might call for. Robert Conness Is given a great bia fling at acting this week. He is Jimmy Valentine, and the original of the role. Henry B. Warner, would surely be glad to see this easy, sincere and faultless rendition Mr. Conness gives the part. He plays Jimmy so forcefully and so In earnest that all through the first act his audience be lieves that with Blinky Davis and Dick the Rat. he is more sinned against than sinning. Sympathy with ' the under dog and a great fellow feeling for con victs In general Is evinced in the ap plause of certain lines. Criminals are applauded when they outwit detectives. and the officers Ir. the prison are cor dially hated. When Dick the Rat opens with a hairpin a lock, the life work of an old mechanic, the audience smiles and Is elated with the crook. For the poor old locksmith, cheated by minutes work out of great honors. there is maybe a bit of sympathy, but tne understanding is with the prisoner. So It is with Bill Avery, an offender grown old In crime, with Red Joclyn, pal of Valentine's, with Blinky Davis, who turns a neat trick of forgery but. most or all, with big Jimmy Valentine, who opens safes for gold before the story begins, and who opens one safe for lovo and a life when the story Is nearly told. The climax Is new and so thrilling that the proverbial pin could have been heard If it had dropped. From the beginning. In the warden a otrice at Sing Sing Prison, until Jimmy sandpapers his fingers tu release the little sister of the girl he loves, from a vault, the play la a hot breath, forceful and wholly novel one and grips with intensity. Robert Con ness has never played a character role so convincingly. His makeup is mar velously done. William Bernard plays an exquisite gem as Doyle, the never- leeplng detective. It was a joy, keen and refreshing, to watch Bernard's methods. The two scenes between him nd Conness first when Doyle tries to get Jimmy for a stoolpigeon and later when Jimmy foils Doyle's attempts to take him are veritable classics In tagecrafL One could feel the cat-like watching and catch the pitting of wits of the two actors. Walter Gilbert gave one of his In variably fine portrayals as Red Joclyn, nd Robert ayne was convincingly old and steeped in crime as Bill Avery. A splendid bit of character drawing was that of Dick the Rat by William Lloyd. Sidney Trego was Blinky Davis, play- ng it well, too. Claude Archer was the German Inventor of tlto lock, and red W llson played capably the Lieu- enant-Governor of New York, who sees that Jimmy gets a pardon. One the best contributions to the force the production was the growling mportance and bulldog ferociousness given the role of Handler, the prison arden, as played by John R. Sumner. Alice Fleming was Rose Lane, for ove of whom Jimmy goes "straight," once he Is out of prison. Helen Strick- nn ns Mrs. Webster and Alice Patek aa Mrs. Moore, of the Gate of Hope So-1 ciety, were the other women, only I three being in the cast. It is essen tially a masculine role play, with Just enough feminity to relieve the thrilling Intensity of the plot. Mayo Methot, always dependable, comes this time as the boy, Bobby Lane, and plays with a discrimination and understanding far beyond her baby years. Her sturdy little body and voice are a delight. Lu cille Treglio Is Kitty, who gets locked in the safe, and plays the role with sweet charm. Completing the cast is Walter Keely as the warden's clerk and Fred Wilson as a trusty, with William Lloyd "doubling" In the role of William Lane, father of Rose and the children. One of the bright spots, and a much applauded one. was the scene between the two children when they play at running the office. It all goes with rapid action, not an awkward moment arrives, and there's a reality about it that leaves a memory. "Alias Jimmy Valentine" will play all week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. RELIEF WORK CONTINUES XEW PLANS TO CHAMBER BE MADE TODAY. BY If Help Is Needed In Kentucky and Southern Illinois It Will Be Forthcoming. Relief fund subscriptions will be con tinued by the Portland Chamber of Commerce so long as there Is evidence of need for assistance on the part of the people In the flooded districts in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The special committee of the Cham ber will hold a meeting this morning to lay plans for further relief work, in case the latest reports from the flooded districts seem to warrant such action. Advices from the newly flooded dls. trtcts in Kentucky and Southern Illi nois are awaited. Messages were sent there asking what help could be ren dered. If any, and the Portland Cham- ter will take up the relief work for these sections, if necessary, in the same manner as for the Ohio and Indiana sufferers, while subscriptions for the relief work in Ohio and Indiana will be continued. NOTABLES ON COMMITTEE Oregon Citizens Being Organized for Christian Conference. The Governor of Oregon, the State Treasurer, three Judges of the Supreme Court, the Chaplain of the State Prison, the Mayor of Salem, four ministers and an editor of that city are among the men named on a -local committee at a meeting held at Salesn Friday by Dr. James S. McGaw, National field sec retary of the second World's Christian Citizenship Conference, to be held in Portland June 29 to July 6. Rev. P. F. Schrock, of the M. E. Church, was made temporary chairman and Paul Wallace temporary secretary of the committee, which, when, completed, will 'Include 75 or 100 of leading citizens of Salem, who will promote the Interests of the con ference. Governor West also accepted a place on the state committee and is heartily supporting the world gath ering, at which he will make an ad dress on "Prison Reform." While on this same trip Dr. McGaw organized the towns of Ashland, Med- ford and Grants Pass, all of- which wll! co-operate in preparations for the con ference. At Medford, April 20 will be made World's Christian Citizenship day, when a union meeting of all the churches will be held In the morning and evening and a mass meeting of churches and citizens in the afternoon. I Other towns throughout the state will be similarly organized, each having a committee for local work and delegates to represent the town at the conference. If Thompson Can't Satisfy You Nobody Can!
