CAST: Lady Isabel Alloa Fleming Madame Vine Alice Fleming Archibald Carlyla Robert Wayne Barbara Hare Mary Edgett Cornelia Carlyla Elizabeth Rosa Lord Mount Severn. . .William Lloyd Justice Hare John Sumner Richard Hare Walter Gilbert Joyce Alice patek Wilson Wan Ramsey Policeman Walter Kelly Willie Carlyle Nondaa Wayna BT LEONE CASS BAER. VITH the Spring.-theatrical mana- W gerlal fancy turns to thoughts of revivals, to misquote an .old line. Revivals of old plays, that Is. In New Tork. every occasionally some big magnate, grown Aweary of the mod era plays he produces, or disgusted with their failure, or maybe realizing that the old productions are in some essentials just what the fickle public needs, becomes a benefactor and re vlves some old half-forgotten favorite of an earlier day. William Brady is our foremost revivalist. e nan sample of it in four of the well-beloved old comic operas he sent last Fall. Right at home we have a revivalist. He is Manager George L Baker of the Baker Players. He considered lengthy line of old plays for modern consumption before he decided finally on the famous old emotional drama. "East Lynne." And the choice was most happy one. Proof positive of the drawing power of the old drama lay In the fact that the theater was packed at the opening matinee and the night performance yesterday. A preponder ance of women attested to the sympa' thetic quality of the story. To the older generation of theater goers the name of East Lynne is i household one. The story of the un happy Lady Isabel was published first In 1S61 in England. It was dramatized and first produced In London in 1873 and since that time has been continu ally befope the public It has been translated into a dozen languages, and has proved the means of bringing many a leading woman into stardom. Despite its years of presentation, there are hundreds of Portland show shoppers who have never witnessed one performance of It. Heard of it- yea, and read the book, and perhaps viewed travesties of the fine old lines, but in some way or other have missed seeing the real and original play. , It has beerv ten years since Portland has been given opportunity to witness good production of "East Lynne. Now that it is here it will go down in Bakeronlaa history as one of the most elaborate and finely staged pieces in that theaters annals. The roles have been perfectly cast The staging is of itself a work of art There are so many scenes too three in each of the last acts and they all dovetail so nicely and with such amaz ing finish and time saving. All the splendid and sterling characters are there. Alice Fleming In the dual role of Lady Isabel, and Madame Vine plays with all the dignity and charm and dramatic strength we are led to sup pose that miserable heroine displayed. Robert Wayne is Archibald Carlyle, playing a leading man's role with fine attention to all the delicate bits of art ng this role calls for. Mary Edgett is Barbara Hare and a lovely sympa thetic role she makes of it. In fact the audience divided Its sympathy in most impartial way. It 'sighed and wept 'for Lady Isabel, even while blaming her a bit. It was loyal and sorry for Archibald because it 'was "in" on his apparent neglect of Lady Isabel. It was truly sorry for Barbara Hare. and yet its sorrow was tempered a bit by allegiance to the poor unhappy Isa bel. An excellent bit of character act ing is given by William Lloyd as Lord Mount Severn. Isabels uncle. Eliza beth Ross kept folk in fine fettle and hilarity with her M!ss Carneylsms. Her make-up was a prolonged riot. The villain. Sir Francis Levlson, was safo in the keeping of William Ber nard, who played the role with splashes of comedy. Alice Patek was charming as Joyce, the kindly servant, and Nan Ramsey gave a dashing saucy minx like characterization of Wilson. The sinned against Richard Hare Is capably played by Walter Gilbert, Claude Archer Is Justice Hare, and John Sum ner is Mr. Dill. Little Nondas Wayne, the daughter of Robert Wayne. Is wiiiie, the child. Her scenes with Miss Fleming were truly affecting. Throughout, the production Is marked by care and thought. Those who have no memories of "East Lynne" should see it and those who have, can with profit revive them with its revival. It win piay all week at the Baker with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. BLOOD? RAZOR GIVES CLEW Detectives Believe AVeapon, Used by Highwaymen, Found. A blood-stained razor, left on the seat in a Fulton car. la a clew to the assault upon Charles Waltle, who was held up and slashed while resisting robbers ear the end of the car line. Saturday night. The razor is in the possession of Detectives Hellyer and Howell, who are seeking the owner. -Waltle, who grappled with one ban dit who was armed with two revolvers and was cut In five places by the sec ond man, was discharged from the hos pital yesterday, all of his wounds be ing superficial. From the cuts In his clo thine- and the fact that the assailant slashed rather than stabbed him, the detectives believe that the razor was the weapon used, and that Its wielder returned to the city on a car. starting from the cemetery soon after the affray.
