"I think he is the most promising pitcher in the league, said Watelle last night at the WUlard Hotel. "He Is only a youngster. I signed him up in California last Summer." President Watellet and Manager Lynch say they will make no attempt to bold onto Ben Hunt if Ed Watkln succeeds in selling him to some East ern club. Watkins is now in the East and Hunt is with Victoria in the in tenm. This case Is peculiar. Hunt was sold to St. Louis for 1500. During the Win ter Watkins disposed of his Tacoma franchise to McGlnnlty and Hunt wa not in the bill of sale, St. Lou '.a turned him back to Watkins. who heads title, but owns no team. He could hardly force his right, but there will be light if he finds a customer. ECCI.KSIA ADDED TO LIST Cape EinUlerre Coming and Terrier Is Completing Cargo.

CAPACITY house greeted the first performance of "Cinderella" at the Lyric this week and attested to the popularity of the old-time ' story and the up-to-date manner of inter preting it. The musical extravaganza s full of bright, catchy tunes and songs, the rosebud chorus is more at tractive, more beautifully costumed than ever and the new members of tne cast all have good voices and dramatic ability. Fritzee Guy, as the despised daugh ter. Is clever, sings her way into every heart and is, besides, very pretty. Billy Onslow and Paul Stanhope as the two favorite daughters of Baron Pompalino, keep the audience in roars of laughter with their awkward at temDts to fascinate the Prince, xneir make-up is beyond description, making them 'appear the most unattractive of old maids.

The Sultan of Turkey, through his legal representa-rrv-e, was notified today that In an American law court his position is the same as that of his humblest subject. The question of the Sultan's rights as a litigant arose in the Supreme Court, which has before It the Turkish ruler's uit to get possession of 110,000 In surance money on the life of H. 3. Tavshanjlan, a wealthy Armenian mer chant, who was assassinated here in 1907. The policy in question was in favor f Mr. Tavshanjlan's mother, who until her death, three years ago, resided in Armenia. Justice Davis heard argu ments today on the demurrer to the Sultan's action interposed by the cus todians of the Tavshanjlan estate in New York. These defendants asked that the Sultan give the customary se curity for the payment of costs. Justice Davis said he had received a letter from the Turkish Consul-General here requesting that in view of the I plaintiffs distinguished rank he be re leased from this obligation. In denying the request Justice Davis said that it did not matter whether a plaintiff was a potentate or one of his subjects and that Kings, Sultans and Emperors should not Import their domestic affairs into American courts. ' ' Empress. FROM a bill of unusual variety ana quality at the Empress this week it is difficult to assign pride of place to any one act for in addition to the three which divide headline honors, there are two other acts which could easily share the position. There is any amount or space ana DDortunlty for "situations" in the sketch entitled "The Love Specialist," the vehicle for Hayden Stevenson, Lou ise Vallentine and Sylvia Starr. Briefly the Plot is this: Husband Bob Andrews grows cold and apathetic In tears and deBpalr his wife rings up a noted love specialist for advice. ttuDDy s anecuons must be reawakened at all costs, so hey decide to stage a drama at the Andrews home. In this the specialist plays up to Bob, flirts with him, thrills him with admiration, love and so forth very cleverly does she do It, too and then, because this Is but a business with her and only one of so many such situations, the specialist leaves. Bob falls into his wife's arms and they live happily ever afterward. Jere Sanford returns again as the rustic boy of chores and the audience could not have enough of him. His really good voice and yodellng capabili ties blend nicely with a gentle and whimsical humor and an excellent make-up. From a musical point of view tne mpress has offered nothing better of ate than the Waterbury brothers and Tenny, two white men and one coal black 'one. Between them they man age to Introduce an extraordinary number of instruments. They play se lections on wine glasses and the nigger man gets in more than his fair share of comedy, refreshingly new at times. Then there s Marguerite with a query for a surname, a shapely character comedienne, who sings two songs and does a quick change act, showing the difference between the real and the stage idea of a dairymaid, a seaside girl, a football player and a dancer. As ai finale she swings right out Into the audience, distributing flowers, and doing everything but fall off the swing. Joe Fanton and a couple more well proportioned atheltes give a series of entirely new and clever gymnastic feats on flying rings, while Lester Leigh and La Grace, who open the bill, rush the audience rapidly through an act of Juggling. Pictures of Champoeg and F. X. Matthieu complete the bill. his talk the applause was thunderous. The unusual aspect of a pardoned con vict telling of prison life and its inti mate details which could in no other way be known is attention-command' ing. "The Dollmakers" Dream," a sketch that Introduces two diminutive girl and (presumably) their parents is de llghtful entertainment. One of the little maidens is June Roberts dainty and pretty as the French dolly sh represents. Roberts pere is a German doll-maker. Roberts Tnere Is wonder fully clever in a characterization of the tongue-wagging wife of the doll maker, and little Miss June is the dolly who comes to life and dances beautl fully. A still smaller Miss Roberts adds Joy with a few gay steps of her own. Reeves and Werner, big, happy chaps. make great friends with the audience by their songs. Their voices blend musically and their selections are of the sort the audience would order If allowed. An act that sets the kiddies shout lng with mirth is Shaw's comedy cir cus. There are monkeys, ponies an dogs, each with some specialty to of fer. As a final delight they bring on a lazy-looking white mule and offer inducements for riders. Three appear, and the merriment increases as the mule throws each aspirant. The Sere nada Trio is composed of a comedian In a dress suit and two women in flow ing Greek draneries. The man and one of the women play on harps and they all sing. The act was encored several times. Carl and Lillian Mueller open the bill with an exhibition in balancing, throw ing. Juggling and general manipula tions of discs and hoops, which is ex ceedingly good and goes with pleasing rapidity. The Pantagescope completes the bllL Not the least In the entertain lng features is .the overture "Pique Dame," from Suppe, by the orchestra. with H. K. Evenson .directing. 0 Pantages. NCE again the praise agent at Pantages has told the truth the bill is a succession of excellencies. Not one act that isn't good, and many that are of unusual merit. The headllner is novel to the polntj of distinction as a vaudeville act. Prison reformers are often heard on the lecture platform, the pulpit and the press, but they speak in the abstract. Ed Morrell, who spent 16 years of his life in San Quentln and Folsom prisons, and who was the youngest member of the notorious Evans and Sontag gang of California outlaws, is on the bill this week, and what he has to say enthralls and interests. He has per sonality, and is decidedly more effective than anr mere lecturer on prison re form could be. He describes his life In the prisons, gives demonstrations of the punishments meted out to prison ers and makes a tremendously dramatic recital. His audience listened with closest attention, and at the close of Orpbenm. F the Orpheum offered nothing but Gus Edwards and his song revue of 1913 the entertainment would still take on tremendous value. For Mr. Ed wards' offering is a miniature musical comedy with no long waits, no tire some and irrelevant dialogue and no vocal pyrotechnics by some would-be prima donna. The revue is called "The Fountain of Youth, and beats all hoi low the one Ponce de Leon grew old hunting for. It is divided into six spouts, and everybody effervesces, bub bles like champagne and intoxicates With delight. Mr. Edwards makes -his Initial appearance In Portland, and he has brought a memorable musical melange. As the author of popular melodies bis name is a household one. and these songs, happy combinations of clever words and bright, tuneful music he has woven into an act. In pout one he sings "If I Were a Mil llonaire" with a chorus of seven news boys, each of whom has a fine voice. Spout two is an Italian setting for the song "Italian Romeo, ' with Mr. .Ed wards as Romeo and Lillian Boardman, who has a splendid soprano, singing Juliet. There are lots of little Romeos and Juliets, too, and two cunning tykes, "Cuddles," a black-haired adorable baby girl, and Georgie, an impish lad, travesty everything in the act. Spout three is a vocal burlesque cf "Alias Jimmy Valentine with a hair dozen little people let out of the safe when It Is opened.. They group them selves on the piano while Mr. Edwards plays and sings. In this specialty lit tle hold-up girls run through the the ater aisles with flash lights and "Georgie" Imitates Joe Welsh, David Warfleld, George M. Cohan and some of the others. In spout four Mr. Edwards sings bits of melody that serve to link together a series of living song pictures illus trating the good, old favorites he has composed. Of these a few are, "By the Light ot the Silvery Moon"; Anna Held's "I Want Something New to Play Wlz," "See Saw," "My Cousin Caruso," "He's Me Pal," "Sunbonnet Sue" and a dozen others. Then in spout five Mr. Edwards sings his newest composition, "I'll Get You," with cunning little Cuddles flirt ing and singing from one of the boxes. Spout six is a scene of Central Park Lake and they all sing "On a Beauti ful Night." The voices are beautifully blended the specialties go with breath-catching rapidity and the danc ing is delightful. Mr. Edwards' voice is big and beautiful, he aims to please and makes everybody happy. The chorus of boys voices Is truly remark able in its musical value. The rest of the bill is good too. Kramer and Morton, two black dots, are comedians, who sing and dance into favoritism. Les Alvarese, a girl and man, open the bill in a wonderful Eu ropean gymnastic novelty, of the hair- raising variety. , General Plsano, a sharp-shooter, amazes and interests with his target shooting. William H. Lytell is a repeater, bringing the com edy sketch, "An All Night Session," with Shirley De Me in the cast. It is humorous and makes for entertain ment. Ben Linn, a plump comedian. sings some new, some old melodies. with "gestures." The talking pictures complete one of the best all-round bills of the year.
