FELICE LYNE,
PATTI,
Young Opera Singer, Visiting in Portland, Has Refused Tempting Offers
to Appear in Vaudeville Modesty Among Her .Charms.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
w
HEN she first opened her big
dark -brown eys an this old
world all the adoring kinfolk
on both" sides, the English Lynes on
daddy's side and the fine old Southern
Purdom family on mother's side ran
sacked family trees for names. But
the baby's mother would have none
of them. i-
"She has brought happiness she
shall be called Felice," was' her word.
So Felice the little Iyne girl' was
named, even though some of the neigh
bors couldn't pronounce it. and the
others considered it a personal reflec-.
tion on their plain Annies and Myrtles.
And though all London, where she Is
idolized, calls her "Fay-less," and Paris,
where she has sung time and again,
hails her as "Feleese." all the little
prima .donna's folk cling, to theorig
inal and quaint Fellysy, And, like
the geometrical definition, this little
Lyne (line) is "the -shortest distance
between any two points. She is just
five feet tall and weighs an exact 102
pounds. .She Is adorably pretty, with
rare olive skin, a color that flares or
fades as she speaks rapidly, bird-like
movements to match the bird voice im
prisoned in her slim young throat and
Lina Cavallieri eyes and hair. She is
a contradictory expression of inipish-
ness and the spirituelle. Koguisn
words and world-wise saws cross her
lips, while she regards yod" with the
eyes of a nun. . ,
Felice Lyne has the distinction or
being the only girl of the stage who
has been presented to. Queen Mary,
and when I tried to get her to talk
about it she told me, instead, of some
lttle old man in La Grande or some
where who had sent her a lovely let
ter, which strikes me as exceedingly
democratic, not to say genuinely Amer
ican. So many little girls have their
heads turned by even a Cook's tourist
trip abroad, but Felice Lyne, wno has
lived in European centers for years,
and has met kings and queen and
dukes and whatnots of nobility, and
whose debut in grand opera at tne
London Opera-House three years ago
startled the entire musfc world, is un
spoiled and unassuming. -
Miss Lyne is on her way to Honolulu
under the management of Henry Rus
sell, director of the Boston, Opera Com
pany. En route she sung at Salt Lake'
City and at La Grande. Or., and is
stopping long enough in Portland to
catch her breath and allow her auntie,
Mrs. F. E. -Moore, to pack her trunk
to go with the party. And Grandma

Is her constant companion and the two

Nine years ago right -here in Port

her books and other belongings at St.

to "go on the stage." She returned
to Portland Monday as the girl star

Peggy is Mignon Crook. She. has the
role of a demure school teacher in the
rural playlet, "When We Grow Up." at
the Empress Theater.
When Peggy left Portland to hie
for Broadway's firing line she ran
counter to the advice of her relatives,
but she was determined and in a
short while her name was in pro
grammes even if she did not immedir
ately attain prominence sufficient to
place "Peggy Coudray'" in big type on
the billboard-; and in the electric lights.
Three years ago she came Unheralded
to Portland as a minor member of the

Roberts and Thurlow Bergen were co

Nine years ago, immediately after
leaving Portland. Miss Coudray was
assigned to her first speaking role in
"Babes in Toyland."
"I looked down upon poor St.
Helen's Hall." said Miss Coudray.
"and. wfiile I felt lonesome, I did not
feel one regret for throwing away my
geography and grammar for a mask.
Love for the stage was horn in me and
as far back as I can remember the
'three Rs' meant "role, role, role' to
me. I have tilled many roles since
putting school behind m. but I have
not reached my goal yet. I want to

can hear Felice Lyne's voice soon . on

some of her best notes canned in
New York. And if you iike the song,
"I Hear Tou Calling Me." it may in

Charles Marshall, is a great friend of

She speaks half a dozen languages

Sir Thomas Lipton Says Fire
Only Can Wipe Out Typhus
and Other Disease.
HOSPITALS. ARE JAMMED
Scarcely Enough People Remain to
Dig Graves American Doctors
heroically Give Iives' In
Fighting Pestilence.
LONDON, March 23. "Just as it took
fire to stop the great plague in Lon
don, so fires are needed to clear Ser
bia of typhus. Infected houses and
the clothing of the people must be
burntd, as the disease is carried by
vermin, which is omnipresent," said
Sir Thomas Lipton tonight in a state
ment to the Associated Press, in winch
he recounted the appalling conditions
in Serbia, where he spent a consider
able time in personal investigations.
"I met on the country roads the
sick, too weak to crawl to a hospital.
Bullock carts were gathering them up.
Often a woman and children were lead
ing bullocks, the husband and father
in the cart raving with fever. Scarce
ly enough people remain unstricken
to dig graves for the dead, which lie
exposed in the cemeteries.
Situation Beyond Control.
The situation is entirely beyond the
control of the present force, which im
peratively needs all the help it can
get, tents, hospitals, doctors, nurses,
modern appliances and clothing to re
place the garments full ot typnus
bearipg vermin."
Describing the hospital at Ghevgheli
where occurred the death of Dr. James
F.' Donnelly, of the American Red
Cross, whom Sir Thomas calla one of
the greatest heroes of the war, he
said:
The place in a village in a barren.
uncultivated country, the hospital an
old tobacco factory, formerly belong
ing, to Abdul Hamid. In it were
crowded 1400 persons, without blankets
or mattresses or even straw men
lying in the clothes in which they lived
in the trenches for months, swarming
with vermin. All diseases typhus,
typhoid, dysentery and smallpox
were herded together. In such a state.
Dr. Donnelly . founded the hospital,
where he had a force of six American
doctors, 12 American nurses and three
Serbian doctors.
American Doctors III.
When I visited the hospital three
American doctors and three Serbian
doctors and nine nurses were them
selves sick.
The patients were waited on by
Austrian prisnoers. The fumes of reek

forced to break the panes.
"The first thing Dr. Donnelly did on
his arrival was to - test tne water.
which he found infected. He then im
provised boilers of oil idrums. in which
to boil water for use. The boilers
saved 500 lives said Dr. Donnelly. He
also built ovens in which to bake the
clothes of the patients, but he was
not provided with proper sterilizing
apparatus.
No braver people exist man tne
Serbians; they have never a word of
complaint. In one ward I saw a fever
patient, his magnificent voice boom
ing songs to cheer his comrades. Some
were in a delirium, calling for 'mother.'
Army Bread Carrie Infection.
One source of infection is the army
black bread, which is the only ration
of the troops. The patients in the hos
pital receive daily a loaf, wnicn tney

Later the unused loaves are bought by
peddlers and are resold, spreading dis

of a uniform, but otherwise he ioors

the Balkans is at Belgrade under ly.

Portland, Oregon, says:
"Bonding as we do thousands
of men, our experience shows
that the man who owns his

a recommendation of charac
ter and stability.1
Portland's population increased from 1900 to 1910
129.2 per cent. Ah equal gain from 1910 to 1920 will give
. this city 500,000 population. This is not theory, but highly
probable. It illustrates most emphatically that your op-
portunity is at hand. It is the ground floor for you now.
Don't wait a few years and then pass out the time-worn
excuse of "I could have done thus and so." Be sure you
are right, then go ahead and do it now. The Oregon
Home Builders will probably share what the future is
bringing forth to a greater extent than any other insti
tution in this city. Tens of thousands of homes will be
built and this organization, owing to its better operating
facilities, will have the first call. Share in our profits.
