A large and appreciative audience welcomed Mr. Olcott last night at the Heilig Theater. There was no disap pointment in the whole performance. The ever-popular star possesses the same charm, the tame wonderfully sweet voice, the same irresistible man ner and genius that have made him famous in the plays in which he has appeared her before. Intermingled with the comedy are, of course, several of the new Olcott songs "A Little Bit of Heaven," "A Broth of a Boy," "Irish Eyes of Love" and a few others while some old fa vorites were given as good measure. Little Speech la Made. After the second act, Mr. Olcott, who had responded to half a dozen eurtain calls, made a little speech and sang by request "My Wild Irish Rose" and "Mother Maehree." "The Heart of Paddy Whack" Is elab orately staged with fine artistic ef fect and with faithful regard to de tail. The period is about the year 1830. Dennis O'Malley, Mr. Olcott, is a whim sical, witty bachelor, with the typical big heart and ail the fine sentiments that should be possessed by a true son of Erin. There is much of tender senti ment, of romance, both grave and gay, and of sparkling dialogue in the play, which is all capably interpreted by a well-balanced company. Henry Miller, under whose direction the company is appearing, has shown good judgmeht in the selection of the cast. Dennis In Love With Ward. Mr. Olcott. in the role of the bachelor-guardian to the lovely Mona Cairn, arives an ideal interpretation to the character. Dennis falls in love with his young ward, Mona, but he doesn't tell her as long as there is a chance tor her to love the younger man, Larry Llmmerlng, the decorative and. good looking son of the Squire. The love story is the heart and soul of the plot and as all Irish plays should ao. it all ends well; but meanwhile there are introduced some fine features. The first act and the last are laid in the living-room of Dennis' home and lito muuxiu ia in nis DeauLiiui oia-xasn-ioned garden, where hollyhocks grow and the Ivy climbs over the old walls and a goose waddles in to add to the realism. spirit of nomanre Reigns. When Mr. Olcott sings ono of his heart songs the garden becomes fairy land and the spirit of romance reigns. No small amount of credit is due to Stephen Davis, who plays the part of the picturesque peasant lad. Michael. With his piping and his native wit. He brings to Dennis a vision of his lady love. He sets about to make that vision a reality. Clever, indeed, is Mr. Olcott in the scene in which, as' the village lawyer, he settles the dispute of the Maginnisses and the O'Dowds, who are wrangling oyer the horse that was bought and had subsequently died. Dennis gives a wise and impressive decision that sat isfies both parties. Excellent character work is shown in this seen in which the star. Richard Quilter, Bessie Lea Lestina, Mabel Blake and Walter Coll igan participate. Charles Verner is the crusty, blustery Bquire Limmering and Fleming Ward Is his ornamental son, Larry. Miss Lamont Is Bridget O'Riley. Jennie Lamont is the energetic Brid get O'Riley, the serving woman de voted to the interests of her master, full of admiration for his attainments and sympathy for his troubles and with a full belief that she knows how to keep house. Miss Maud Hosford is cast as Mar garet Flinn, the rich spinster who tries with all her might and main to be. come M-. O'Malley. Edith juckett, as Mona, was a nat ural, sweet girl, who gave a touch" of decided charm to her part and shared in the honors accorded all the players. Nina Saviile is the "granny" whose age varies from 96 to 110. . "The Heart of Paddy Whack" will continue all this week with a bargain matinee Wednesday and another mat inee Saturday. It is one of the big treats of the Rose Festival week. Mr. Olcott will sing some of his delightful songs and the orchestra: will play airs that Mr. Olcott has made famous.

Scudder, of the Agri cultural College, and J. J. Finzer, of Portland. The law requires that one member must be connected with the experiment station, one must be an active farmer and one must be a dealer in seeds. Request for Congressional Appropri ations Sent to Committee for Consideration More Coast De fenses Thousbt Necessary. Following the address of Dr. James B. Bullitt, field secretary of the Navy League, on "Peaoe and Armaments" be fore the Members' Council at the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday, a resolu tion was submitted to the council urg ing upon " the Government the im portance of providing adequate arma ment for the United States for defense against possible foreign aggression. The resolution was in line with the view expressed by Dr. Bullitt in bis address, and A. H. Devers and others spoke in favor of its adoption. It was deemed of such importance, however. that the council decided to appoint a special committee to study the resolu tion more closely and report back to the council for future and more def inite action. The resolution recom mends adoption of a broad policy of preparedness in armaments against possible foreign aggression. J. 11. Apple, advertising manager ot the Wanamaker stores, also spoke on the importance of armed preparation, and W. J. Pennell, of Hawaii, gave per sonal observations of the military needs of the islands. China Mentioned as Example Dr. Bullitt, in his address, pointed out China as an example, that non preparation for war will not serve as a preventive. "Many events of Jh present war. especially the melancholy fate of Bel gium, have demonstrated the world- old truth that treaties and agreements between nations are only binding so long as the interests of the contract ing parties are served," he said. "Bearing all this in mind the Amer ican people will be slow to embark on a policy which would entrust itself en tirely to the abstract sense of Justice of the other nations. "The expansion of trade, the acquisi tion of island possessions In the Pa cific, the building of the Panama Canal and the necessity for its defense, and the potential entities Of the open door in China, and the Monroe Doc trine, have brought about world con tacts from which the United States cannot escape and whose results must be looked squarely in the face and pre pared for. Navy Supports Diplomacy, He Says. "The Navy is the arm and measure of strength of our foreign policy, and deficient Navy will weaken both this diplomacy and policy. "Specific necessities for the need of a Navy at any particular time do not have to he demonstrated. The poten tialities of necessity are always pres ent and can easily be found by the student of the history of nations. "We should have a National policy broader than and including our naval policy and embracing all the elements of National defense. This points to a council of National defense, which would embrace the highest executive and legislative authority of the land. with the President at Its. head, and would be capable of enunciating a policy which would be the last word in the co-ordinating of all the ele ments of National defense. Army. Navy. coast defense and supply. Central Body- Considered Need. "Without such provision we may never hope to reach real efficiency in National defense, no matter what per fection the individual units may be able to attain. "This improved efficiency would not necessarily mean greatly increased ap propriations by Congress. We have ex pended enormous sums for Army and Navy, much of which has not been rep resented by anything military or naval. A real efficiency in expenditure can be effected only by a reformation of legislative methods, which are almost as old as the Republic. This can only be brought about by the sovereign ef fect of an overwhelming public opinion which will abolish the legislative log rolling which has been responsible for the "pork barrel,' for the pensions scandal and for the political bias of the Army and Navy appropriations. "Public opinion, to be effective, must be long sustained, which has always rendered it a most unwieldy weapon. With the termination of this year it is easy to conceive that the people generally will lose sight of those neces sities which eo prominently engage their attention now. Each will go about his personal affairs, and matters of National defense may drift along aimlessly as they have in the past." PAVLOWA'S DANCING THRILLS AT BAKER Capacity Houses Enthralled by Grace and Charm of Her Description of Art. 'SWAN' MOST APPRECIATED Indescribable Beanty oi Presenta tion Captivates and. Hearty Applause Kxpresses Delight of Host of Admirers. BI LEONE CASS BAER. Anna Pavlowa's dancing leaves a memory of wonderful rhythm, a rhythm as definite as some1 delicately embroi dered pattern on fine tapestry. Her dancing is a series of lovely ani mated patterns recorded In a world oi beautiful experiences. Pavlowa has caught the rhythm that goes through all things that are lovely, and expresses it within the conditions of her own personality. Pavlowa is rhythm itself. , None of her dances is separated from the universal dance of life. She inter prets the high carnival of dance which nature holds for all of us if we could but see It. Pavlowa makes her contribution to the world's harmony and joy under no rules and regulations. Genee. for in stance, strictly follows rules and her dancing is like other ballets save that it is better and more fully realised. Dancer Abandons Tradition. Pavlowa is more intensely rhyth mical, and under the promptings of a wide impulse she makes a. departure from the traditional ballet and is not subjected to a complex technical art. Which is not decrying technical art, for as a matter of truth it is a remark-, able fact that Pavlowa's audiences love the touch of the acrobatic in her dance at times and show this appreciation of technical excellence. But it is true that Pavlowa understands and inter prets the deeper sincere law of the dancing art rather than its mere rules and regulations. Pavlowa is an exquisite sexless crea ture, adorably spirituelle, whose dan cing is a mental process quite as much as physical exposition. Rules Kali to Hold. She seems outside of, or above, all rules, guided only by the simple and eternal law of grace and rhythm, which becomes the highest poetry of expres sion. Pavlowa's programme last night at the Baker Theater delighted a capacity audience with its dances, pantomimic art, exquisite music and its scenic beauty. "Puppen Fee" (the Doll Fairy) showing two scenes in a Paris toy shop in the early '30s, was ne of the smartest, quaintest ballets, with dozens of dolls ' coming to life in animated dance, and the lovely Pavlowa ai a slender, frilly, fluffy fairy doll in a gold wig and her wonderful toes twinkling. In the beautiful "Walpurgis Night," taken from Gounod's .opera, "Faust," Mile. Pavlowa appears aa Helena, a role that calls for not merely dancing, but dramatio knowledge. Companion Also Graceful. In these she has a fellow artist in M. Alexandre Volinine. who appears as a prince charming in the fairy doll en semble and later as Cleopatra's slave in "Walpurgis Night." He is heavier than Yordkin, and not physically as handsome, but M. Volinine is a marvel ously graceful dancer and electrifies with the sheer beauty and daring of his leaping dances. In the part of the programme devoted to divertissements a dozen clecer folk contributed character dances. M. Vol inine as a Pierrot; Mile. Kuhn and M. Pavley in a Holland dance. Mile. Plaskowieszka, first solo dan seuse, whose personal charm and ability made her a prime favorite, appeared often, once in a minuet, once as a baby doll, again In a polka comique, and as Frlna, a dancer in "Walpurgis night." A beautiful ballet was given with the Blue Danube Waltz, and Mme. Pavlowa and M. Ivan Clustine, recog nised as Europe's most finished ball room dancer, gave the gavotte Pavlowa, an unusually spirited and lovely dance. Possibly Pavlowa's "Swan." from Saint-Saens, brought the most demon stration. On a semi-darkened stage, Pavlowa. in silvery white, with fluttering swans' wings spreading above her skirts, swaying with every heartbeat of the muaio. gave an unutterably lovely in terpretation. The programme for this afternoon is entirely different from last night's, and tonight's offering differs from both. Not the least of the beauties in the entertainment is the complete sym phony orchestra under the musical di rection of Theodore Stier, conductor of the London Classic Symphony Orchestra. MISS BARE1MSTECHER ILL Popular Musician and Society Girl Is in Critical Condition. Miss Viola Barenstecher, daughter of Mrs. Charles Barenstecher. of Laurel hurst, is ill at St. Vincent's Sanitarium with a severe case of diphtheria.
