BY LEONE CASS BAER.
It is difficult to believe that among
11 the companies with which the Baker
Block managers have made us acquaint
ed as the years pass, any one of them
has had a more perfectly balanced and
amazingly promising: opening as the
one of yesterday.
Even the audience assisted in, the
production. Everybody in the theater
behaved as if it were his theater, his
May and his specially organized com
pany, sharing in the work with enthu
siasm that must have thrilled the
Mayers and warmed the cockles of the
box office's heart. Always, of course
JTovldinsf that box offices have hearts!
The play was Bayard Veiller's
famous drama. "Within the Law"
which turns out to be finely adapted
lor stock presentation.
It holds the qualities of suspense and
surprise, its action moves rapidlv and
the entire play has big body and sub
stance. Revenge of Victim Is Story.
It is the story or a shopgirl who is
made the innocent victim of a crime
and is sent to prison. While she is
there she plots revenge and to strike
directly at the man. her former em
Moyer. who has made her a jailbird
the studies law and evolves a plan
wherein she can pursue .the life of a
criminal and yet keep entirely within
the law's requirements.
Her machinations directed against
her employer form a great part of the
story, and her regeneration, through
love, is another story.
It doesn't lack for comedy either
there's a lot of it, delightful and sure
And there's thrills a-plenty, and never
flagging interest.
The new company saw to it that
"Within the Law" got over in excellent
style. Each player apparently had con
stituted himself, or herself, as a com
mittee of one to see that everything
Went off in fine shape. And it did.
Kroner McHenry f 'aplivntrs.
All the pretty adjectives in Mister
Noah Webster's big book fall flutter-'
Ing at the feet of Prances McHenry,
who made her bow as the new leading
woman.
Whether it was the inspiration of
the role, or the spirit infused by the
audience, or just a nice present from
the dramatic deities, it can't be decided
at the moment of going to press, but
Miss McHenry gave a performance of
brilliancy and dramatic reserve that
was highly noteworthy.
Her study of Mary Turner could
scarcely have been improved upon, and
there was no lack of facial expression
and exquisite shadings of voice to give
added point to her clever reading of
every line assigned her.
Curtain rails Frequent.
The audience quite went mad over
htrr big scenes and brought her before
the curtain a dozen tfmes to receive
their tribute. As for that dashing and
debonair young leading man, Edward
t Woodruff, the year he has been
away has only added to his vigor and
the brilliancy of his art.
As young Gilder, who is made a
cntspaw by Mary to reach his father.
Mr. Woodruff scored tremendouslv.
Mary Edgott Baker, as Aggie Lynch,
the confidence girl, triumphed over a
role that would have blown up or
proved a veritable boomerang in less
capable hands. Her performance was
a gorgeous and glittering Joy.
Joe Garson Also Made Real.
Another study that stood out in gem
like beauty was Will Lloyd's Joe Gar
on, the forger.
Nancy Duncan, as the pathetic little
thieving salesgirl; John. Sumner, as the
gullible detective; William Dills, as the
never - wrong - but-seldom-rlght police
inspector: waiter Gilbert, as a stool
igeon: Henry Hall, as Oilder, senior;
'Elizabeth Ross, as his plump secretary,
are the popular "favorites" who re
turned to give Joy. Each received an
Novation.
A dozen more players lengthened the
cast. The scenic equipment is beauti
ful and faithful in detail, and Miss Mc
Henry and Miss Baker wear lovely
f frocks, frills and furs.
"Within the Law" continues all
week. There's a matinee today, one on
I Wednesday and one on Saturday.

Frank Rich Company Captures
Audience at National.
APPLAUSE SELDOM BROKEN
'Two Married Mien' Opening Bill
of Two Weeks' Encasement.
Singing, Klcctvieal Effects and
Costumes Add to Success.
Playing with a finish and a dash that
made three large audiences yesterday
literally "Bit up and take notice," the
Frank Rich Company, in an opening of
two weeks of musical shows at the Na
tional Theater, made a hit from the
rise of the curtain.
Every one of the 10 musical numbers,
several of which were made effective
by striking electrical effects, went like
clockwork, and applause was almost
continuous.
Most effective of all were Miss
Dorothy Davenport's "Roses Bring
Dreams of You, in which the whole
stage became a bower of electric roses
and the chorus bombarded the audience
with flowers, and George Burton's
Portland" number, with an illuminated
Portland sign and a parade of girls
representing beauties of every clime,
with the "Portland girl' as a lovely
climax.
Two Married Men" Involved.
"Two Married Men" was the title of
the opening number, and despite the
prevailing habits of musical comedies
having intangible plots, "Two Married
Men" had one that was clear and well
defined.
Tom Jones is detained all night aloft
in a Kerris wheel car, his partner in
misery being a strange woman. Jones,
well played by Cash Knight, tells his
wife the truth, but as ehe fails to be
lieve him he prevails on his friend,
Kerry Klint (George Burton), to invent
n explanatory story, in which the truth
is handled carelessly. The mysterious
woman in the car turns out to be Mrs.
Klint, and when she turns up, as also
does the supposed mythical person
Hint was representing, one complica
tion .succeeds another. Both married
men have a busy time explaining the
truth. The manner in which the story
is told gives ail kinds of opportunity
for fun and amusement.
Frank Confer has a rattlinjr role as
Dobson. an English butler, and his
songs, "Father Came Home With the
Milkman in the Morning," and "I'll
Take You Back to Panama," were well
received.
Prima Donna "Win Favor.
Miss Honorah Hamilton, the new
prima donna of the Rich Company, won
her way into instant favor. ihe has
commanding staere presence, with
added good looks. Her principal num
ber. "Bubbles," from "High .links," was
received with warm applause. Madge
chuler's "Dixie Band," in which the
vivaciousness of the little soubrette
was well shown, was another popular
song number, while Cash Knight's
Parodies" and M iller Evans' roundly
Hibernian. "It's a Rocky Road to Dub
lin." proved hits.
Miss Schuler supervised the dancing
numbers, the 20th century maid chorus
of 12 adding finish to the performance.
The costumes were all new. There was

BROTHERS PLAY PRANK
Warden's Duties Performed by Ia--

WOODBURY. N. J.. Sept. 1. Al
though they are not twins, Harry
Magrer. warden of the County Jail here,
and his brother. Edward, an attorney
in Washington, look so much alike that
they sometimes ask each other which
is which.
This resemblance gave Warden
Mager a chance for a Joke at the ex
pense of the county officials, and he
put it into execution. Soon after he
started on his vacation his brother
came up from Washington, went to
the Jail and took up the duties of the
post. As he appeared Sheriff Madden
looked aghast and inquired: "I thought
you had gone for your vacation?"
Edward smiled and made some excuse
that worked for the time.
The situation was easy after that.
Edward made the rounds of the Jail
and none of the prisoners- penetrated
the duplicity. He went out to the
stores to make purchases of supplies.
ana me snopKeepers were as readily
deceived, although they had waited
upon Harry for months. The joke was
carried along for three days. Then it
leaked, and Sheriff Madden found it
difficult to believe even then.

The Rev. D. L. Berry, pastor of the

complete the ceremony, in the presence
of several witnesses, when the daugh

her arms around her mother, became
hysterical, and slapped the groom when
he attempted to pull her away.
There was consternation among the
guests. The minister, after a talk with
the daughter, in which she failed to re
lent, declined to perform the ceremony.
The daughter says her mother, who is
wealthy, met Fay through answering a
Chicago matrimonial advertisement.
All three were friendly later, Mrs.

HONOLULU IS EAGER
TO SEE
Island Bodies Work Enthusias
tically to Induce Portland
Organization to Visit.
OTHERS ARE INVITED, TOO
Many Members Give Assurance of
Joining in Excursion to Mid-Pacific
Island and Governor
Will Go Also, if Possible.
Government officials, civic bodies,
outing clubs and various other organi
zations in Honolulu are boiling over
with enthusiasm about the projected
excursion, of the Royal Hosarians from
Portland to the Islands next February,
ard Dean Vincent, Prime Minister of
the Rosarians, has received hundreds
of letters within the past month from
them, urging that the trip be definitely
settled and promising the Rosarians
such an entertainment as they have
never encountered before.
Clippings from the Honolulu papers
weVe also sent Mr. Vincent in which
the proposed excursion is given wide
notice.
Many Decide to' Go.
"We are already receiving continual
assurances from our members that they
wil i participate in the excursion to
Honolulu," said Mr. Vincent, "but if
they could see just a little of the mail
that has been sent me in the past few
weeks pledging us the hospitality of
the Islands, we wouldn't have room on
the steamer to accommodate the crowd."
The personnel of the party will be
passed on by a special committee of the
Rosarians, and many persons who are
not members of the organization but
who are prominent ir Portland and
Portland's interests and activities, will
accompany the crowd.
Governor Withyeombe will arrange
to make the trip if possible.
Governor Pinkham, of Hawaii, has
supplemented the invitation of other
organizations in. Honolulu with an offi
cial invitation.
t
Honolulu Committee Named.
The following extracts from a letter
from the Hawaii promotion committee
director, A. P. Taylor, indicates the
plans that are already considered for
the entertainment of the Portland
Rosarians.
"We want you over here: we want
you to see what a modern paradise
really is; we want you to come down
here and see our Gibraltar of the Pa
cific; we want you to come down here
to the lazy latitudes and see for your
self what Mark Twain and Robert
Louis Stevenson and Stoddard and
scores of other writers saw and wrote
about.
"Come on oveY. the water's fine. The
Hawaii promotion committee is taking
a deep interest in the proposed trip,
and at a meeting Riley Allen, editor
of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, ap
peared and gave us a live-wire talk
about your trip. It was so lively that
our chairman immediately appointed
him, chairman of a special Oregonian-Rosarian-Hawal
ian committee."
EMPRESS BILL COMICAL
EPi3RIEX(KS OP INOIJLE FORTUNE.
HUNTER AMITSIXG.
Portland Imperial Quartet Shares Hon
or. With Hcadltnrr, and Other
Aeta Are Meritorious.
Senile idiocies of an English Earl and
the vim and capers of a red-wigged
Irish girl are but a part of the funny
factors that help to make this week's
Empress bill a hummer. For, besides
several fine local personalities, Uiere
are a number of other artists of humor
who are a credit to a thoroughly en
tertaining show.
"Honora," by Francisca Redding and
her company of clever actors, is a com
edy playlet, in which Lord Percy Fitz
Maurice, in search of an heiress, be
comes the victim of the brother of the
girl he wishes to marry. - Honora, the
fat. red-headed cook, is "dolled up" and
passed off on the poor old Karl.
The servant's policeman admirer
comes in and the nobleman adds a
ridiculous climax. Five persons are in
the cast.
The Imperial Quartet, local Portland
singers, vie with the headline act for
applause. Their happy, melodious airs,
songs with fun and ideas, sung with
ability, are winners of meritorious ap
preciation. "Original Descendants of the P.
Nuts." the Alvias are billed, and they
are the funniest and most unique acro
batic dancers that have recently taken
the Empress audienee by storm. The
little gold-slippered girl in her cun
ning, sparkley costume has as nimble
toes as her partner.
Billy Roder, with his bevy of popular
songs, is an unusual "vaudevillain,"
with a captivating personality and a
good voice. Davis and Uerrier are two
Portland musicians who are clever with
their banjos, and drum out a series of
fascinatipg melodies. Mae Cahill, writh
her scores of gorgeous and stunning
gowns, and Le Roy, with his variety of
jokes and mirth-stirring songs, are ex
cellent. Two real artists are the Potts,
whose feats on the trapeze are daring,
pretty and fascinating.

BATHXOSTS $2000 IN GEMS
Ba?r Containing Jewels disappears
While More Valuable One Is Left.
LONG BEACH, N. Y., Aug. 30. A mys
terious disappearance, involving jewels
valued at $2000, is engaging the atten
tion of the police authorities of Nas
sau County.
The victim is given as Mrs. J. Tre
ple, of 2108 Dorchester road, Flatbueh.
The jewels disappeared from a bathing
pavilion while Sirs. Treple was enjoy
ing a dip in the surf. Strangely enough,
a chamois bag, which, it is said, con
tained jewelry valued at $8000. belong
ing to Miss Treple, a sister-in-law, was
untouched
According to the description, which
Mrs. Treple gave to the Nassau County
authorities, the missing jewelry con
sists of several diamonds, a pearl
necklace and a diamond lavalier.
The Treples say that when they en
tered the Deauville Pavilion they
checked their valuables at the office
with H. Petti t, who is the clerk in
charge. They remained in the water
for some time before they returned to
their dressing rooms.
When they presented their checks at
the office for the return of the jewelry
Pettit could only find the chamois bag
containing the $8000 in jewelry, which
belonged to Miss Treple. The other
chamoi hag. containing the $2000 in
jewelry of Mrs. J. Treple. was missing.
A thorough search was instituted.
Every noofc and corner of the office
was examined, but no trace of the miss
ing chamois bag could be found. The
bathing pavilion people immediately
notified the Nassau County authorities.
Detective Seaman and Constable
Thorne also made a thorough examina
tion of the office, but their efforts were
just as unsuccessful.
The Treples were enjoined to secrecy,
but the facts of the robbery became
public today. While Seaman and Thorne
since yesterday have been making a
search and had been furnished with an
accurate description of the missing jew
elry, the sleuths have been unable to
get the slightest trace.
Barber Sicers Presscr to Cuomer
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1 Joseph
Noar. a diamond merchant, hereafter
probably will go to a mercantile agency
when he wants a financial rating of a
prospective customer, instead of a bar
ber. It was on the reference of a
barber that Noar sold on memorandum
$2148 in diamonds, watches and other
jewelry to Harris Allweil.
Both men aptronized the sanle bar
ber. Noar accepted the assurance of
the man that shaved him that AW we 11
was responsible for anythin he
bought. He turned the jewelry over
to Allweil, and all he has been able
to get back has been $14 worth.
Noar has brought suit against the
supposed man of wealth, who, he has
learned, is a clothing presser. Allweil,
who was arrested, is in Ludlow-street
jail, being unable to give a bond for
$2000.

PACKED STAND FALLS
Hundreds Seatetl in- Structure
Hurled by Crasli and Score Hurt.
KEANSBURG, N. J., Sept. 1. Eleven
persons were injured dangerously and
double that number badly bruised and
cut when a section of the grandstand
on the boardwalk of the New Point
Comfort Beach Association collapsed.
Several hundred men and women were
in the section and many fell 25 feet
amid broken timbers.
It was Grangers' day at the annual
carnival of the Keansburg Association,
and the athletic contests attracted an
unsually large crowd. The stands were
filled to their seating ca pa-city when
one section collapsed. Its occupants
were thrown together among broken
planks and nail-studded timbers.
Panic started in the adjoining sec
tions, and in the rush to get out of
the stands many more persons were
hurt.
Women whose chiliren were in the
broken section added to the excite
ment with their screams, and the spe
cial police were handicapped badly in
their efforts to aid the victims. Kully
half an hour passed before sufficient
order was restored to enable the police
to get all the injured out of the wreck
age. Four physicians were called to the
carnival grounds and they were busy
for an hour with the men and women
most badly hurt.
