J ' LEFT TO RIGHT IDA ST. IEOS, BY LEONE CASS BAER. F a well-meaning praise agent brought In to me a. story to the ef fect that the four girls who play Metf, Jo, Beth and Amy In "Little Women" have well-developed Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy traits and live the roles as well as act them, I'd promptly put tnat story In the waste basket. But when I go, on interviewine: bent, and discover that it's uncannily true, that's a aiaerent story. And it's all because William Brady has a mania for types. For instance. Mrs. Flske could never play the role of Jo and get away with it, out jane Marbury, with one-tenth the experience of Mrs. Fiske, and a very young girl, can make dear old Jo real to us. Julia Marlowe can nlav Shakespeare all over the stage and write reams on the art of acting, but she'd be a flivver as eniDDV little Amv. May Irwin might play Meg, but she'd break up the show if she did. n.ach one of the four "little women" was selected because she looks the part. That each can faithfullv enact it is being proved at the Heilig "mati neely" and nightly. The interview was gathered at a cafeteria dinner. 1 saw Meg first because the others were on the Btage. Jo being the backbone and sinew of the plot, could only be grabbbed on the way to and from the scene of action. Beth couldn't be in terviewed until after her death scene and Amy was as busy as a little pot tea uecoraxing tne DacKground. Truth compels the assertion that Jo is another Jo In her reg'lar life. Her name Is Jane Marbury and she is tre mendously good looking and adorable in a big, colorful way. Her sense of comedy Is over-developed, but it is balanced by a Keen, satirical apprecia tion of things. Just things in treneral. She Is the untidiest of the four, unless it's Beth, whose dressing table looks Penny Fund of Neighborhood House Is Increasing Savings Plan Inaugurated Under Auapicea of Council of Jrnlah Women Attract Many Depositors. THE Neighborhood House, conducted by the Council of Jewish Women. is. the center of many activities.. In addition to the regular clubs, classes, gymnasium and social center work. Miss Ida Loewengart, the superintend ent, has opened the "Neighborhood penny fund," which is proving a most successful undertaking. Although the fund, or penny bank, has only been In operation a few days, there are already 62 depositors. On Monday afternoon and Wednesday night, when the bank is open, there Is a long line of young people of the neighborhood on hand, waiting to de posit their coppers and nickels. Reg ular banking slips are made out and In each depositor's book are put stamps to show the amount of the de posit. Miss 'Loewenberg was assisted in arranging for the bank by Mrs. F. J. Hutchings and Mrs. H. Thanhauser. The penny fund is on deposit in one of the Portland banks. The Mothers' Club of the Neighbor hood House will meet on February 7, when they will have a musical pro gramme and social hour. The topic of discussion will be the tubercular exhibit, which will be explained by a. representative of the Visiting Nurse Association. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin will also address the women. Tho visiting housekeepers' depart ment of the People's Institute, under the direction of Miss Mary Heilman, is making an appeal to those who would like to assist In their work among the poor of the city. The de partment has found a large number of families who are struggling to get along and are greatly In need of furni ture, bedding, carpets, dishes and all sorts of housekeeping necessities. Many of the families have but re cently arrived In Portland and the man of the house has had difficulty in getting work. The good visiting housekeeper, in making her friendly visits, finds that the women who are too, proud to ask for charity suffer Inconveniences and are absolutely in Jneed. la one family there Is -one bed AS AMY, JANE MAHBCRV, AS JO, AND JUAN BRAE AS MEG. as if the proverbial cyclone had .hit it. Jo has a natural-born antipathy to the needle, and goes into a panic at the sight of a mending basket. She reads omnivcrously. she brought along a set of Stevenson and she has read -one book over a dozen times because sho is too lazy to dig into the depths of her trunk for another volume. She says she loves the role of Jo, and whileshe got this particular part because she is the type for Jo (and we know she Is an ideal one), that to her "the theory of selection does not appeal. Any little girl earning a modest income behind a counter or some walk of life other than the stage appeals to some man ager as a 'type' for some role he has in mind. He engages her. The play fails, but for the two or three weeks she has played it the girl gets more money than in six months of the other kind of work. She is out of work, and maybe It will be ten years before any manager will find another role for which he needs her 'type.' "The girl considers herself a full fledged actress, and with hundreds of others waits around in New York, re fusing jobs where she can carry a spear, or walk on with a tray because for one or two too brief weeks some manager gave her a lot of real money for being a 'type.' And as for the work behind the counter for her never again! She'd rather starve being an unemployed, actress than eat three square meals at any other work." All of which is the opinion of the energetic Jo. And what do you think Jo is keen on? Designing. "But it has to be new, lovely cloth and lots of It, and I won't sew it," Meg is Jean Brae, away from the footlights. She has several things in common with Meg of the story. She. loves a home.' and is domestic. She sews, and mends, and adores babies. She was selected for the role first because tor six children. Miss Heilman win appreciate donations of any useful ar ticles. Any one wishing to co-operate with the People's Institute in this work may telephone Main 1871 or Marshall 4796. ' The Catholic Woman's League held a business meeting at their rooms, 129 Fourth street, yesterday. A large num ber attended. Mrs. Wilbur E. Coman and Mrs. B. Gildner poured tea during the social hour. Mrs. J. P.'Kavanaugh and Mrs. Felix Isherwood were host esses. Plans for the ball and card party to be given February 20 at Hotel Multnomah were completed. "Java, the Wonderland of the World," will be the Subject of the lecture to be given tonight by Dr. George B. Vos burgh, at Lincoln' High School. The Portland Grade Teachers' Association has planned , the lectures, which are attracting the attention of the general public. The first of the series, "Ram bles in Scotland and Wales," given on Tuesday, was a masterpiece. Colored slides and motion pictures are used to illustrates Dr. Vosburgh's travelogues. The Portland High School Teachers' Association organized formally on Tues day afternoon with Alfred Bittner as president and Miss Leone Larrabee as secretary. This organization will be to the high schools similar in function to the Portland Grade Teachers' Associa tion in the grammar schools, and both organizations will co-operate for the best interests of the schools of the city. . The teachers of Buckman School will give a tea this afternoon at the Port land Grade Teachers' headquarters, 441 Courthouse. Central W. C. T. U. held an enjoy able social yesterday in the headquar ters, Dekum building. Plans for the campaign were discussed and the union's share in districting the city was outlined. Mrs. C. A.

Jean is a Philadelphian, and this Is her first dra matic work. She is a recruit from the musical comedy world, and, some day, she says, she's going back. She has a voice, a lovely one, too. It is she who sings Meg's lullaby to the babies off the stage. She is a dear, cuddly sort of girl, with brown curls, a saucy tip tilted nose and a mouth chuck full of smiles. Amy is Little Ida St. Leon, of "Polly of the Circus" memory, who cried real tears and was so young it seemed like robbing the nursery to let her go a traveling on the stage. She is very aged now almost 19. And she's the same little blonde maid with the serious mind and the adorably friendly eyes that came with the circus. She likes the role of Amy because it gives her a season of experience in. one per formance. "I'm snippy, pert little Amy, then I'm older then old enough to wed. I've a variety of acting to do. And I'm very happy." But Little St. Leon is invariably sunshiny. Mother travels with her and together they walk or ride every morning. Between whiles she studies.

But just the same she is "crazy to play little boy roles," and hopes next year to get one. She was featured last season in the Castle Square stock company play ing child roles and Just missed being "Wendy" with Maude Adams this sea son because she signed for this role half an hour earlier.

Action taken at the recent meeting of the Teachers' Retirement Fund Asso ciation makes it impossible for further additions to be made to the list of charter members without the payment of initiation fees. Originally it was provided that those becoming members between January 1, 1912 and 1913, should pay Initiation fees of $25, those joining between January 1, 1913, and January 1, 1914, pay Initiation fees of $60, and that each succeeding year the Initiation fees be increased by J25. A measure was brought up providing that the initiation fee be temporarily suspended and all who might desire should come in Without Initiation fees. A canvass of 400 teachers showed, how ever, that only 14 desired to take mem bership and there also developed among the members of the association a strong opposition to letting the bars down by removal of the initiation fees. It was decided, therefore, at the meeting held this week that the fees should be re stored, 1 . Promoter of Proposed Highway De clares Injury to Water Supply Unlikely and Chief Forester la Asked to Proceed. Believing that the objections of members of the City Commission of Portland against the proposed Hood River road being extended through the Bull Run water reserve are not well founded, Wilson Ross Winans, of Hood River, has begun the circulation of petitions in Portland and other parts of the Willamette Valley and in Hood River asking Chief Forester Graves to proceed with the construction of the road. Petitions were placed in the leading hotels of Portland yesterday and last night Mr. Winans went to Salem with copies of the petition. He says the road when built will be a great asset to Portland by forming a complete circle for traffic between Portland and Hood River, one way over the Columbia tiver Highway and the other over the proposed new road through the Bull Run reserve. He says there is no danger of the proposed road damaging x ortiana a water supply in any way, notwithstanding the contention of City Commissioner Daly of the Portland Water Department who says the road would increase the fire danger in the reserve. A petition circulated in Hood River has been signed by 280 names. This has been sent to the Oregon delega tion in Congress as will also the other petitions as soon as they are signed up. One of the Congressmen will take the proposition up with the Chief Forester. The petitions which are being circulated read as follows: To the Honorable Henry S. Graves. Chief Forester, "Washington, I. C. : You are respectfully petitioned by the undersigne dcitizens of the State of Oregon, and others immediately to complete and open to the public that certain trail sur veyed and crraded on a G per cent grade leading from Hood River Valley, in Hood River County.

The said road to connect Portland, Salem and all Willamette Valley points with Estern Oregon points by the shortest and most practical route and easiest grades. Your petitioners feel that this road has become a positive necessity to the entire State of Oregon, as well as an essential part of the Pacific Highway, and means more to the Pacific Coast public than any other good roads development now under consideration. It -will be of great practical use to the traveling public of Oregon, as well as a connecting link of a long-distance highway between California and Washing ton, and will open up a superlatively strange and beautiful scenic rojte seen nowhere else In the world. DEPUTY'S CASE ENDED TAKING OF EVIDENCE IX TRIAL OK CURTIS COMPLETED. Governor In Called to Testify, but Does Tiot Remain Long, Return ing to State Capital. Though no report has been made by the grand Jury and none is expected before the end of the week, the taking of evidence on the extortion charge against Dputy Sheriff Frank Curtis, made by William Irvin, an ex-convict, and P. J. Hayden, proprietor of a Second-street lodging-house, was com pleted yesterday. Yesterday Gover nor -West, Sheriff Word and Deputies Lumsden and Curtis and A. B. Gilson were before the board. Governor West was called to testify regarding his knowledge of conditions in the North End, but while in the Jury-room was questioned by one of the Jurymen as to the reputation Cur tis bore while he was a warden at the Penitentiary. Governor West testified, it is said, that Curtis had been a duti ful officer and dependent in financial affairs, but could not testify that he had been temperate at all times. The testimony given by Governor West regarding conditions in the North End involved his reasons for pardon ing Sam Krasner, Tlval of Harry Har ris, and the recommendations on which he issued the pardon. He was before the Jury not more than 15 minute3 and hurried from the Courthouse to return to Salem. Krasner was convicted and sentenced to the rockpile on a' vagrancy charge and was pardoned last January by Governor West. Confidences ex changed between North End characters are said to have involved several coun ty officials. The North End investigation results from the testimony given by Harry Harris, rival of Krasner, at his trial last month before Circuit Judge Gatens on a vagrancy charge. Harris testi fied that a plan had beeen perfected to raise $150,000 a year, which would be used to protect the North End re sorts. Krasner was a rival of Harris at the time of the alleged graft and both were arrested about the same time on vagrancy charges.

Washington Street CLUB WOMEN HEARD Members of Local Organiza tion Appear in Programme. POEMS ARE INTERPRETED 'The Dream of Fair Women" and "Evangeline" Are Features of En- tertalnment at Lincoln High School and Are Well Given. The members of the Portland Wo man's Club who appeared in "The Dream of Fair Women" and "Evan geline" at the Lincoln High School last night presented an artistic interpreta tion of the two famous poems. The characters were appropriately cos tumed and each part was well taken. The reading by Mrs. C. O. Young was the crowning event of the succes ful evening. Mrs. Young has given her art much study and has arranged the lines and incidental explanatory lecture-recital to bring before the au dience the historical and artistic sig nificance of the characters. The mus ical aocompaniment of Charles Swen son added to the effect. In "Evangeline," Mrs. Fred Olson had several beautiful solos depicted In tab leaux. "The Rosary" was sung with feeling. The chants and songs were well sung. Several pretty girls -assisted as Ar cadian maidens. Mrs. Anton Giebisch as Father Felician had a manner that made her part a triumph. Mrs. G. J. Frankel was Benedict and Mrs. P. L. Thompson as Basil, the blacksmith, did splendid character work. Mrs. Her bert Carr Reed was an ideal Gabriel, the lover of the fair Evangeline. In the group of Arcadian peasants were Mrs. Margaret Redding Koon, Misses Elizabeth Johnson. Maori Egbert, Anna Matson, Margaret --Thompson, Bessie Walton, Bertha Van Per Meer, Alvita Bowman, Alice Johnson and Lillian Swenson. Stanley and Roy Young and Baby Elmgren were in the group of peasant children. The scenery, palms and furnishings were loaned by prominent merchants, friends of the Portland Woman's Club. Between the two productions Mr. Swen son played a brilliant piano solo. Tennyson's lines: "In every land I saw, where ever light illumineth, beauty and anguish walking hand in hand, the downward slope to death" told the histories of most of the char acters that appeared In the "Dream of Fair Women." The pathos and the tragedies of these women's lives was Get MUSTERQLE Today for Lumbago! It's an amazingly quick relief. And it's so easy to use.
