One of those Incidents we read of only in stage fiction, or that occur in only the minds of press agents, has taKen place at the Baker Theater. Along with Jewel robberies, unexpected legacies, relatives with noble blood and similar what-nots of imaginary pleas antries that befall actors whenever "news is scarce" probably the best be loved is the story of the tnesptan who Jumps in at 24 hours' notice to learn the hero's role, sits up all night and on the morrow gives a letter-perfect performance. Once in a million blue moons this actually oscurs. Mr. Lloyd Leaps to New Role. It happened Thursday at noon In the Baker Company, when Will E. Lloyd, an always dependable and most excel lent actor, willingly undertook to for get the 64 sides every side is a page of a role he had already learned, and step Into a role of 110 sides, and the lead in "Sherlock Holmes." From Las Angeles Howard Scott had been brought by Manager George L. Baker for a special engagement in two of William Gillette's plays. "Sherlock Holmes" and "Secret Service." Lloyd was cast as Larrabee, a crook part, and Clarke Sil vernail. another dependable, was al ready up in his part as an English cockney safecracker. Mr. Scott re hearsed with the company, everything was going swimmingly and all of a sudden an indisposition seized him. a nervous breakdown followed and the play was almost on the rocks. Into the breach a wise direction hurried Will E. Lloyd, Clarke Silvernail stepped into Mr. Lloyd's role, and Walter Seigfried was taken from a minor part and thrust Into the different one of the cockney safecracker. All of this on Thursday. First Rebearanl Good. On Friday the rehearsal was good, on Saturday it was excellent, and yester day's opening performance showed the trio of quick-change artists to be letter perfect in their roles. A most dignified and delightful king of sleuths is Mr. Lloyd. He makes the quiet, slow-moving Holmes the main spring of the action in this most in teresting melodrama. Detective plays are not a rarity, but this one holds all the elements of suspense, plenty of thrills and a wealth of interesting char acter. Mr. Lloyd's makeup, his panto mime of hands and expressive face, his excellent diction and smooth portrayal of the role complete an admirable char acterization, one that must be given every credit. The supporting cast is nicely balanced. Sadden Crook Is Good One. Clarke Silvernail, as a crook, takes precedence over some of the others in view of the fact that he unlearned one role and learned his present one well enough to give a capitally genuine piece of acting at short notice. Keenan Wal lace, as Moriarty, emperor of crime, presents a fine study: William F. Pow ell is the always wondering Doctor Watson: Walter Gilbert provides spots of comedy as Holmes' office lad, and John Adam comes up in importance as one of Holmes' aides. Cora Belle Bonnie plays with sym pathetic touches the heroine, whose pos session of certain vaiuaDie papers, ana the efforts of an organized gang of thieves to steal them, and Holmes' ef forts to prevent, makes the story. Mary Edgett Baker is a most convincing and good-looking "crookess." Eileen Wilson is a French maid, and Walter Siegfried must have a wreath all to himself for 0RCG0N CRILLC After Hearing Miss Anuta Osgood The Vital Spark and girls sing "Rag Time College Turkey Trot" youH be glad you came.

FLORISTSTOllEW CITY MEMBERS- OF NATIONAL SOCIETY ARRANGE VISIT TO PORTLAND. p. A. Vanklrk Urges Residents to Make Special Decorative Effort to Gain Approval of Critics. One of the important delegations that will visit Portland in the coming Sum mer will be the members of the Society of American Florists, who will route themselves by way of Portland for the 1915 convention of the organization which is to be held in San Francisco, and letters that have been received in Portland indicate that they are looking forward with especial pleasure to their visit in this city. A. Vankirk. president of the Port land Floral Society and vice-president of the Oregon branch of the National organization, has expressed a desire that in making preparations for flower planting in the coming Spring the citizens bear in mind that the city is to entertain within the next few months the best judges of flowers in the United States. "The Portland Floral Society will take up the duty of host, without any expense to the public," says Mr. Van kirk, "and endeavor to show these visitors something of our accomplish ments and possibilities. It is safe to say that Portland never has enter tained, and never may have the op portunity again to entertain, as critical a body of tourists as. the Society of American Florists. "Their verdict is final in their home communities. Therefore we ask the flower lovers of our city and the citizens generally to keep this ex pected visit in view while planning their 1915 decorative work. A word to the wise is sufficient, and benefits will follow." RENT CONDITIONS VITAL Scale In Portland Alleged Too High and Survey Report Is Due.
