NOT LIKE TO TALK
Interview Is Inadequate and
She Prefers to Write Her
Message, She Avers.
LECTURING DISLIKED, TOO
Coast Has Its Immigration Problem
as Well as East, Lecturer In
timates Admitting or Ori
entals Is Suggested.
BY DEAN COLLINS.
Mary Antln does not like to talk, so
Bhe avers, either from the lecture
platform or to an interview hunter
from a newspaper; and she talks with
an enthusiasm that is a delight to the
bouI in making it clear to the inter
view hunter that she does not like to
talk.
She was caught with a few hours
time between trains last night, on her
way to Tacoma, where she is to lecture
tonight, and at dinner at the Benson
Hotel with Mrs. Julius Loulsson, of the
committee from the Council of Jewish
"Women, explained her disinclination
to talking.
"It seems to me such an inadequate
medium, the interview." she insisted.
"Kven If I do my best and the re
porter does his best, how shall we in
15 minutes deliver to the public any
message I may have for it. And then
one is expected to have opinions on so
many, many things on which one can't
have an opinion on a minute's notice.
MThlrd I'eraon l'BDrcetK)arrn
"If I have something I really feel
that 1 must say, surely 1 could say it
much better without passing it through
a third person. What did the news
paper reporters do in the days when
they did not print so many interviews
or weren't there so many of them?
"Besides. I haven't been interviewed
on all this trip more than two or three
times. I wouldn't talk. I left behind
me a trail of downcast reporters.
Some of them even printed really mean
little paragraphs about me and took
pains to mail them to me, because I
wouldn't be interviewed; ami now what
will they think of me if I should be in
terviewed after all of that?"
"But why are you on the lecture plat
form?" one is instantly impelled to ask
when she expresses a disinclination to
lecturing as well as to being inter
viewed. She May "Sircar Off," She Say.
"Because I was weak-minded enough
to yield to the pressure from those who
wanted me to lecture," is the retort. "I
think I shall be swearing off after this
engagement is done, for I do not feel
that I have a call to lecture. I have
many invitations to lecture, but never
a call.
"I can express myself so much more
eatisfactorlly by writing. Of course,
when 1 come onto the platform at the
time appointed I say what 1 have to say
to the very best of my ability, but 1
would much prefer to write it."
All of which is entertaining in the
highest degree to the interviewer, espe
cially because the speaker talks with
so much greater lucidity than the aver
age person thinks; and in a lyric little
voice with just the tiniest tinrre of an
alien accent in it; such a voice as one
seldom finds in a person born on this
cide of the Atlantic.
Immigration Brought I' p.
"Of course, we are not confronted
with the immigrant problem in such an
acute form on this Coast as you are in
the East." you venture, trying to get
the train of conversation started on
that right of way.
"Has the problem of Chinese and
Japanese immigration ceased to be a
problem?"
"Come to think of it, it hasn't, but
the question of Oriental immigration is
not so prominent just now before the
people of the West as it once was. You
see. under present conditions, only cer
tain classes of Orientals are coming.
and our Oriental people on this Coast
do not present a problem of so great
seriousness Just now.
"Oh, in other words, the Pacific
i oast Is excused temporarily only fro
working out its solution of the prob
lem of immigration?" she concluded.
"You would then throw the United
Mates open to the Oriental immigrant
as well as to the immigrant from
ir.urope.' you asK.
"I believe when It says 'all men,' It
means all men. she replies.
Information la Sought.
mis 1.1 tne iirst time 1 have been
so far West, and I am anxious to know
all that I can about the conditions
here.
This by way of explaining an ani
mated conversation which was inter
polated in the interview, with Sig
Slehel, who is introduced in passing and
talks for a bit about the colonizing
work in Oregon for the Jewish immi
grants. -Mary Antin. the Russian immigrant,
for one can't get used to her real name
of the present day, which is Mrs.
Adameus W. Grabau, is coming back to
Portland Wednesday night to lecture at
the White Temple on "They That Knock
at Our Gates."
LINCOLN ASKS ONE SESSION
AYashington High Also Preparing
Petition for Earlier Hours.
A petition bearinp 1000 names of stu
dents at the Lincoln High School has
been presented to the Hoard of Educa
tion asking that hours be changed so
that there be one session instead of
two daily. It is desired that classes be
held from 8 A. M. to 1 P. M. without
intermission. Instead of from 9 to 12
and 1 to 2:30 as at present.
Students at the Washington High
School also are preparing a similar pe
tition, that will be presented to the
School Directors In a few days. Both
will go before the Board for decision.
"If the change asked is put into ef
fect." said Superintendent Alderman,
"we will be able to house double the
number of students in the same build
in p. By having an afternoon session
from 1 to 5 oclock. we can get double
the usefrom the present building and

Though Spring stirs up the
brooks and - riUa, I m con
demned to quinine pills; tbougn
swallows dart above the river.
Ira taking dope to stir my
liver; and soon I fear my feet
will slip and I will torn down
with the grippe.
I love the Springtime of the
year, the time of blossoms ana
Bock beer, I fain would frolio
'neath the trees, but I just
sneeze, and sneeze and sneeze,
and pack away beneath my vest
the contents of the medicine
chest, and hope to heaven I may
skip the annual visit of the
grippe. , ,
I'd rather have bubonic
plague, or chickenpox, or break
a leg, or have the gout, or e en
the pip. than catch the Spring
time cae of grippe.
Bo, though the Spring Is on
the lea, I keep the quinine close
to me, and eat It freely, till I
see the world go wobbling in a
spree; for 1 am following a tip
that tells me to look out for
grippe.-

New York the other day taking
in the movie houses in Portland.
He is with the well-known Na

best motion picture theaters.
Bonds Kemembered.
People of our city were re
minded that a bond issue had
been voted some time ago, when
the Supreme court decided last
week that they could build an
auditorium on the Market block.
Someone, it appears, had
thought different and consider
able litigation arose, during
which time the auditorium was
not built.
There are still, however,
many of our citizens who can
remember distinctly the time
when the bonds were voted.
The auditorium will not be
completed in time for the Elks'
convention In 1912, as was orig
inally hoped.
Doc Koberg Named.
Dave Roberg, a w. k. doc and
bacteriologist, has been appoint
ed to be secretary of the State
Board of Health. He will suc
ceed Doc. Cal. S. White.
Doc. Roberg is now in China
studying conditions there and
the Health Board will have to
worry along without him unless
Doc. White stays by the helm
until he gets back.
The Crawfish believes that
he should hurry home, for we
have a touch of the grippe and
know several others. Including
Lloyd McDowell, who have one
too, and we feel that the State
Board of Health should look
into the situation.
Members Are dot.
Several of our prominent busi
ness men were seen on the sta.
the past week' getting members
for the new Chamber, of Com
merce. We are infoftned that
they were successful and that
they got about 4207 in four days.
The new Chamber of Com
merce Is going to start operat
ing next Tues. night. Among
the boys who were out helping
the memberships along last wk.
were Fred Larson, Mr. Wood
ward. Bill Hofmann, K. C. Craw
ford, E. L. Thompson, Charley
Berg. Charley Moore and 300 or
400 others.
We understand that the
Chamber Is now bigger than any
other in the world, apd expect
that the boys in New York and
Boston are feeling pretty jealous
about now.

"She never says a dull thing," and
English newspapers repeatedly have
described her as "fluent, epigrammatic,
logical, humorous and exceedingly in

CASTLK DANCES ARE FILMED
Majestic Also orfers Return En
gagements of Favorites.
Graceful, light, young and handsome,
the Vernon Castles are making a gen
uine hit with their dancing at the
Majestic Theater. They appear in one
reel of dances, which they have exe
cuted in vaudeville and in their own
"Castle" house, and trip the light fan
tastic with the case of nymphs of the
woodland. They give demonstrations
of the tango, the maxixe, the hesita
tion, the one-step and the Justly fa
mous Caftle walk. The film will be
shown a'l week.
The extra attraction is the return of
the "Kreutzer Sonata." Because there
were thousands who did not see it, the
management has returned it for three
days. It is a picturlzation of the book
written by Count Leo Tolstoi, the fa
mous Russian author and philosopher.
This picture will be succeeded on
Wednesday by "A Fool There Was,"
another marital tragedy which was
once before at the Majestic Theater.
SUXSET FEATURE FILM GREAT
"The Quest" Shows Ship Afire at
Sea and Battle With Savages.
The Sunset Theater scored a dlstlnc
tive hit when it obtained the right to
show the new Mutual Master pictures
in Portland. This was warmly attested
bv the biz crowds at the Sunset yester
day to see "The Quest," first of the
Mutual Master picture releases, which
will run until Wednesday night.
"The Quest" is a really remarkable
photo-play. Its five acts are crowded
with action. A ship afire and blown up
at sea, a combat with savages for the
rescue of a beautiful woman, and a
yacht cruise through some of the most
wonderful South Sea scenery one can
Imagine are a few of its compelling
features. As for the acting, with Mar
garita Fischer and Harry Pollard in the
lead roles, it couldn t be bettered.
One of the funniest of comedies is
"Fatty" Arbuckle and his pet bulldog
in "Fatty's Faithful Fido." The Mutual
Weekly shows some exceptionally inter
esting news pictures.

FILM IS 90-MIXUTE LAUGH
Peoples Has John Barrjmore In
"Are Yon a Mason "
John Barrymore convulsed everyone
who wafhed his imaginary Masonic
experiences yesterday ln the "Are You
a Mason?" film production, which
opened a four-day run at the Peoples
Theater.
He attained much popularity as a
film star, in addition to his legitimate
successes, and was irresistible In 'The
Man From Mexico" and "An American
Citizen," but he surpassed them both
ln his latest film farce.
Memories of 90 minutes of uproari
ous mirth will follow anyone who sees
"Are Tou a Mason?" Nearly everyone
saw the original play and its history
was that of a highly diverting suc
cess. In matt of its scenes the film
presentation seems more hilarious than
the original play and at times gales of
laughter swept through the house.
"Are You a Mason's?" laugh cyclone
will last till Wednesday night, "The

don't advise anyone to have a CaMIe
Clip. No one can deny that a woman's
crowning glory Is her hair and, even
if Mrs. Castle does wear the clipped
style, she is a dancer and all women
aren't professional dancers. Also, short
hair isn't becoming to many styles of
beauty.
"Smart society women and sensible
women, I think, will unite against the
mania for clipped locks," concluded the
