THE MORXIXQ OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY, .VPRIL 14, 1914. KLAW 8 EBIiHGEB DEFY GONSIDIHE 'New Orpheum' Building Tangle Assumes Significant Phase From Fresh Quarter. OLDER LEASE IS ALLEGED Representative of Big Eastern Syndi cate Declares He Is Prepared to Furnish All Expert ATjility Called for In Contract. "Mr. Considine will have to figure with Mr. Noonan and me before he (?ets control of that theater," declared George J. McKenzie, general represen tative of the Klaw & Erlanger the atrical syndicate. Sunday regarding the final disposition of the building now being erected at the southwest corner of Broadway and Stark streets, which, within the past week has come to be locally known as the "new Or pheum Theater." Announcement was made last week by representatives of the John W, Con sidine Company that the building had been secured under a ten-year lease for its Orpheum attractions. Follow ing closely on -this announcement a suit was filed by Robert J. Noonan against the Blodgett Company, of Grand Rapids, llich., the proprietors and owners, alleging that Noonan was the assignee of the late Thomas J. Noonan, contracting builder of the the ater, and demanding damages totaling $120,314 as a result of alleged viola tion of the building contract. The late Thomas J. Xoonan is also Baid to have held not only a builder's contract, but a contract for ten years as lessee as well. In. this suit Robert Xoonan sets up the fact that the Blod gett Company attempted to terminate this contract with his brother, Thomas J. Noonan, by suspending all dealings with him. Contract With Thomas J., He Says. j According to Mr. McKenzie, however, before the death of Thomas J. Noonan and before the alleged violation of his contract through the assignee, Rob ert Noonan, the Klaw & Erlanger Com. pany had entered into an agreement with Thomas Noonan, as contractor j and lessee, by the terms of which all their attractions were to be staged at the now so-called "new Orpheum The ater?" It was the intention of the Klaw & Erlanger Company, Mr. Mc Kenzie declared last night, to make a ' first announcement that the big Eastern syndicate expected to have a Portland theater under its own man agement "This agreement was made on Janu ary 31," eaid Mr. McKenzie, at the Oregon Hotel last night, "and we still purpose to carry out its terms. The Blodgett Company complains it bar gained for the expert personal services of the late Thomas Noonan and that his younger brother, Robert F. Noonan, is I not competent enough, theatrically speaking, to fill his brother's shoes. "I am here to take the place of the late Mr. Noonan and I will donate as much as half of my time on the ground here in Portland,' if necessary, to ren der personal services equal to those which Thomas Noonan would have ren dered had he lived." Robert K. Noonan. in his suit Satur day, did not ask that the lease negoti ated last Thursday between the Blod gett Company and Mr. Considine be set reide. In order to nullify the present lease held by Mr. Considine, It will therefore be necessary for Mr. Noonan and the Klaw & lirlanger syndicate to institute a suit, puccessf ully challeng ing the right of Mr. Considine to hold the lease granted by the Blodgett Com pany, through its vice-chairman and attorney, Mark Norrls, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and P. S. Brumby, the Portland agent of the company. Robert K. Noonan said last night that a second suit would be filed, probably the latter part of this week. While Mr. McKenzie would not admit it last nrpht. it is understood that Bailsman Jfc Kellier, the Klaw & Erlanger attor neys in Seattle, will aid in the prose cution of this suit. Stott & Collier and Fulton & Bowerman, Portland attor neys, are the legal representatives of Robert F. Noonan In his suit already (iled. while James B. Kerr will repre sent the Blodgett Company, according to Mark Xorrie before his departure for Grand Rapids, Saturday night. ; New Phase la Significant. XThis latest Klaw & Erlanger phase is regarded as significant, in view of tho increased hold they have been ac quiring on the theatrical situation of tfce Pacific Coast. ; "Klaw & Erlanger now control the "theaters of Seattle, - Vancouver, Vic toria and Bellinghain." said Mr. Mc Kenzie last night. "They also have Htnisea In Ban Francisco, Lou Angeles and control tl:e road patronage in the smaller cities in California. Only last Friday we took the Seattle Theater away from John Cort. We will use It during the remainder of his lease and have an .option- for three years' re newal. This gives us the Metropolitan aftd Seattle theaters in Seattle while tho opposition has the Moore." '-At present the Klaw & Erlanger at tractions .along with other "legitimate rlnys." are staged at the Heiligr Thea ter, now located at Eleventh and Mor rison streets, hut will on July H be moved to the rresent location of the Orphoum Theater, at Broadway and Taylor street, according to an agree ment made last week with the Or jiheum management. Calvin S. Heilig, of the Heilig Thea ter Company, has said repeatedly that the Klaw & Erlanger attractions are booked for his theater and that it would not be possible for any other theater to house them. STATES RIGHTS URGED CA DIDATK OI'POSRg NATION WIDE PROHIBITION. Nrlson It. Jacobson Declares for Lib- eral Appropriations ror Columbia " River Improvements. Opposition to Nation-wide prohibi tion is one of the main points in the platform of Nelson R. Jacobson. candi date for tha Republican nomination for Congress from tha Third district, comprising Multnomah County. "I shall oppose Nation-wide prohibi tion in the form now advocated," says Mr. Jacobson In his formal platform declaration, "in the belief that it is impracticable and that it would violate the principles of our Constitution guar, anteeing 'home rule' to the states. Ths liquor traffic can bo regulated so as to insure temperance, and I shall favor such regulations and the strictest en forcement thereof. Nation-wide pro hibition will create a nation of law. breakers. While abstinence from ths use of liquor is to be desired for tbs ff good of the people, it must come from a conviction within and not from dic tation without, nor by force of legis lation." Mr. Jacobson declares for liberal ap propriations for Columbia River im provements and legislation calculated to promote the interests of Oregon and its people; efforts to pat politics on. an intellectual rather than an emotional basis; maintaining- of ths balance be tween central and state government; limiting the National Government to things clearly of common concern, and reserving to the states the right to work out their own destinies in mat ters of local interest.

And I could be practiced on till I'm dead an never a lady it is ye'U make out o' me." But J. Hartley Manners came mighty near it. At least he developed the in nate charms and graces of sweet Peg. and then he left her alone. No amount of hothouse transplanting could make Peg anything but a fresh, unspoiled little Irish girl, with a flash of spirit and a 'heart of gold.

PesTgy aa Adorable Mliltont. This is the sweet, connecting link that binds us close to Peg. It is not a question of fighting her battles, or of shouldering her burdens. We do none of these for the capable Peg. She Is an adorable militant, waging war on general conventional ities and personal hostilities. It Is a long train of legal circum stances that sets Peg. bag and bag gage, in the drawing-room of her aunt's English home. And it Is her own snnny disposition and glorious optimism that keeps her there when her heart is breaking to return to her father, who, she says. Is "grander than any King, but not able to make money, or keep it when he does make it" Father, it seems, is an .Irish patriot, and. when Peg was a little girl, be fore the aforementioned train of clr. eumstances left a fortune at her hearth, she used to travel about Ireland on a lecturing tour in a cart with her father. "He spoke from the (ail of it and we lived in the middle of it." says Peg. The English aunt and her cousin, Aleric, whom Peg wishes she could "t:ike home to show to Father," and Kthel. another cousin, who snubs and wounds the girl unmercifully, make up the family with which Peg's fortunes are cast Her life with them out-Cin-d. relliH Cinderella, save that her tor tures are confined to the drawing room, the music-room and the school room.

The role Is splendidly enacted by Peggy O'Nell. who is herself a daughter of Erin, from South Ireland, and a saucy, starry-eyed beauty. Her brogue is exquisite, and her Interpre tation of the role is full of dramatic tire and delicious comedy flashes.

The rest of the support is splendid. Alartin-Kablne. as Jerry, holds heart Interest; Jane Meredith, with Mrs. Fiske manner and a marvclously clear enunciation, plays the nnllkable Kthel convincingly. Roland Hague, as Alarlc. is not a caricature and puts a laugh in every line of the Kngllsh ass he portrays. But it Is Peggy O'Nell, refreshing, charming, carrying her big moments with a simplicity that 'grips, and her small moments, with a dellghtfulneos that is irresistibly attractive, who Is the Peg o' the Play's Heart.
