THUESDAT, JUNE 1, 1916. ffMllllllllllllH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO&OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oooooooo oooooooooooooooo1 A talk, "her AT N auspicious event, one that re vived pleasant memories and served to bring- together friends of many years' standing', was the 12th anniversary luncheon given yesterday ty the Council of Jewish Women who assembled in the crystal room of the Hotel Benson. Golden Scotch broom was used in decoration. The tables were most at tractive in appearance, centered with flowers and surrounded bv smartly at tired, bright, happy women. At the president's table, at the head of the room, 20 candles, representing the score of years of the council's exist ence, were placed. At this table Mrs. Isaac Swett presided, and the past presidents were seated, and each in turn was called upon for a short talk. Following- the responses, Mrs. Henry "William Metzger, one of the younger members, led the assemblage in sing ing a toast to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." Mrs. Swett welcomed the members and introduced the speakers. Mrs. A. Bernstein gave an account of the early days of the council and Miss Ella Hirsch. read the minutes of the first meeting in 1896. and called the roll of the charter members. A large per centage of these answered "Present." A message from Mrs. Anna Newman, of Fresno. thA nnlv nresident absent. was read and the tribute given the T others was accorded her. V Mrs. Solomon Hirsch did not give a but Mrs. Swett announced that actions spoke louder than words," as Mrs. Hirsch had always been an in spiration and a great help to the or ganization. Mrs. L. Altman told of the founding of the Neighborhood House and the early work in manual training that had been the forerunner of the work in the public schools. Mrs. S. M. Blumauer spoke of the increase in membership from 125 to 300 when she was president. She was chairman of Neighborhood House work tor IS years. Mrs. Blumauer urged the -establishment of a home for girls. Mro. Ben Selling, another efficient ex-president, gave interesting reminis cences. Mrs. Max Hirsch and Mrs. Julius Lippitt both responded with clever verses. Mrs. Simon Selling told of the work of her administration, mentioning par ticularly the success of the cookbook. Mrs. Eva Gill sang "The Spirit Flow er" and "Du Bist die Ruhe." Through out the programme the talks were beaiKJfully interwoven by the singing led by the sweet voice of Mrs. Metzger. Among the hostesses at the various tables were Mrs. Sigmund Frank, Mrs. Julius Loulsson, Mrs. Marcus Fleisch ner, Mrs. F. Steinhardt, Mrs. M. Sichel. Miss De Fries, Mrs. S. V. Ottenheimer, Mrs. S. Swett, Mrs. Ella Eisenbach, Mrs. Ben Neustadter, Mrs. M. Goodman, Mrs. R. Abrahamson, Mrs. Mark Levy, Mrs. George Loewenson, Mrs. M. Baruh. Mrs. Ed. Ehrman. Mrs. Abe Cohn. Mrs. J. Friedenthal and Mrs. Leo Ricen. Miss Fannie Harley gave a short talk at the close of the luncheon. Her subject was "Follies of Fashions." She took exception to the actions of the dress reformists and urged individual ity. "It isn't a short skirt or a silk stocking that leads men astray," said Miss Harley. After a resume of styles, past and present, she said: "But, no matter what the styles are or have been we must all agree the neater the form the more beautiful they are. There is more grace in a fig-leaf frill than there is in a hoop-skirt and one is Just as practical as the other." Gifts were given, to clubwomen by Mrs. Kate Vaughn at yesterday's lec ture, as follows: Knife set. Mrs. J. M. MacDowell, 575 East Sixteenth street North: a cake to Mrs. B. Carroll. 119 East Forty-sixth street: another cake to Mrs. Mary F. Roe. 549 Hoyt street; another to Mrs. F. M. Fuller, 528 Mor rison, and the nut loaf to Mrs. J. T. Kent, 1019 Hancock.

For a short time it is'likely that the novelty of a Japanese prima donna caught the public curi osity, but as time has gone on and she still has succeeded in winning her audiences, there is no longer doubt that it is her artistic charm that holds the appeal. Mme. Miura expects to return to Japan and reform musical and artistic conditions at the conclusion of her en gagement in Madame Butterfly. The great mass of people know little of real music -and Japan boasts of few singers of genuine merit. Because of the misconception of music in her native country, performances of opera have frequently been stopped by the authorities. It is scarcely worth while to endeavor to give a serious musi cal entertainment there. This condi tion Mme. Miura will endeavor to re lieve, although she will work against conditions so firmly founded that it may take- years before any noticeable change is brought about. Mme. Miura made her first appear ance in public while a student in the Academy or Music in tokio, at a pri vate performance. Her assistant actors were the German and Russian teach ers under whom she studied. From a student in the academy she became teacher and later appeared in two productions at the Imperial Theater which were countenanced by the au thorities. Mme. Miura went to Singa pore after her marriage, but was ob liged to give up her public work be cause of the objections of her hus band's family. In Berlin she was permitted to ap pear. She remained mere unui me outbreak of the war, and then went to London, where she sang with Patti at the London Opera-House and at a number of Red Cross benefits. She met with a warm welcome wherever she went, and at length made her way to America, the mecca of her ambi tions. She will make America her home, returning to the Orient only to teach her countrymen to view art as she has learned It la her travels. FOLK DANCES ENTERTAIN HIPPODROME NEW BILL HAS SEV ERAL GOOD FEATURES. Primrose from a dashing Irish lassie to a. "dude" and again to an Italian mother. In the latter role she pleads for her soldier son. A Dutchman, fat and funny, is George Freedo, a musical, dancing, joking fel low: who gives a pleasing act. Mable Darragh and Bell Williams sing and chatter. "The Girl That Didn't Matter," a big Balboa feature picture, with Margaret Landis and Andrew Arbuckle in stellar roles, and a funny comic complete the programme. ybiMENVHoiw&y By Marie Dille.' Tnmakl Miura Japanese Prima Donna. TEVEE since Soda Tocca was at i.N the height of her dramatic tri umph has the public heard so remark able a product of Japan in the theaters as Mme. Tamaki Miura, who has been playing for the past season in "Madame Butterfly." All doubt of the ability of an Oriental to portray the character vanished with her first appearance. Tamaki Miura fills the title role of the Japanese opera as no Occidental could possibly do. She has a fascinat ing thin little voice that adds to the delusion of childhood that she plays. She is tiny in stature, light and gay. In every respect she is quite typical of the Japanese maiden, of 15 which mHo plays. The actress has an unusually ex pressive face and from gay laughter it changes readily to the sad countenance of the disappointed maiden who anx iously awaits her lover's return. Quite as readily it changes to an expres sion of tragic dignity with which she meets his American wife. Tamaki Miura sings without apparent effort, and with seemingly no volition. She Kings as a bird does, because it is her nature, and her voice soars up and up with unusual volume and warmth In the more mature part of the char acter that she plays. The success of Tamaki Miura in Madam Butterfly is by no means due to the fact that she is at home in the Oriental character, for it was neces sary for her 'to divest herself of most of the artistic traditions of her peo ple before she could conceive the char- CORNER WOODPILE BARRED New Ordinance Prohibits It 25 Feet From Crossing. Traffic dangers in the form of cord wood piles extending along parking strips up to intersections are now un der tho ban. The City Council yester day passed an emergency ordinance, ef fective at once, prohibiting the piling of wood any nearer than 25 feet from an intersection. The ordinance was promoted by the Public Safety Commission. The wood piles, standing high in the air, ob struct the view of drivers of machines approaching the intersections, it was said, ana thereoy constitute a danger to traffic which is increasing each year as the number of automobiles increase. r Gresliam to See Students' Exhibition. GRESHAM. Or., May 31. (Special.) A public exhibition will be given in the gymnasium of Union High School No. 2 by the physical culture students tomorrow afternoon, at which time the present year's school work will be com pleted. After the exercises in the gym nasium the Union High School base ball team will play the Concordia Col lege baseball team on the borne dia mond. Acrobatic Act. Fun and Patter and Rapid Costume Cbanglng Stunt Are Pleasing; to Audience. Large audiences welcomed the open ing of the new Hippodrome bill yester day. Six good acts, a fine motion pic ture drama and film comedy make a large and popular programme. A band of young Russians, the Neffesky troupe give clever peasant dances, appearing in colorful attire. Three Northern youths and three attractive Russian maidens amuse the audience with the folk dances. "They will surprise you," reads the programme, and the six of the Yoscary troupe surely do. Their unusual acro batic act is one of skill and science. Learning to fly proves a diversion for Eva Fox and Ed Kersko and the audi ence, too. For Kersko and Fox have a lot of new jokes that seem to take. Rapid changes of costume in full view of the audience transform Anita What Does Your Food Cost?
