recommended to you for genuine dra

morrow afternoon and tomorrow night.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
One must bo as sophisticated aa one
Is mentally alert to appreciate the
pathological analysis, the fine philoso
phies and the splendidly-human quali
ties in Max Marcin's drama, "The House
of Glass," which opened at the Heilig
last night . .- .
The characterizations In detail draw
ing in "The House of Glass" are as
nearly perfect &a it is the lot of mere
mortals in a Portland audience ever
to see. Each actor, and there are a
round dozen and two, makes 'his or her
role a subtle conception, a portrait
touched with the brush of an artist
who understands moods and the
whimsies of human nature.
Author Shows Understanding.
The author. Max Marcln, understands
numan nature, too, as few of his fel
lows in playwriting. His peculiar
cubtletly of analysis renders the char
acters in the story elusive creations
which only artist such aa have been
blessed upon us by Cohan and Harris,
artists with adroit genius for coloring:,
can translate for our enjoyment.
The play is a study in crimonology
only as it touches the life of one
woman, an innocent victim of another's
wrongdoing. The story is told in
four acts, it develops rapidly to an
Intensely human culmination, and the
commanding Interest is not all' cen
tered in the woman, nor in her hus
band, another powerful figure, but di
vided in interest, and an amazingly in
exhaustible interest it is, too.
Each Plays Role Well.
It would not do to destroy the an
ticipation of those who are yet to see
"The House of Glass" for the first
time by relating in detail its story,
nor even outlining it in a review.
T'would be like turning over to the
last page in a fascinating end absorb
ing story to see "how it comes out."
This much may be told, however. The
theme of the play Is a barkening back
to that old adage about stone-throwing
by those of us who live is glass houses.
In this particular Instance it con
cerns the husband of a woman who
turns out to have been a paroled con
vict. The husband has been an indi
vidual stone-thrower, though an hon
orable one, following out the courage
ef his convictions.
Thrill Come With Revelation, a
How the revelation of his wife's past
and her subsequent battle affect him,
and the brilliant coup he pulls on the
law's several arms, is thrillingly told.
Tbe subject is splendidly dramatic,
but it is not .without its delightful
high lights of comedy and is at all
times intensely interesting.
Adelina O'Connor plays the varying
moods of the wife's role with an in
stinctive dramatic lighting and shade
that amounts to positive genius. She
makes the role a mental one, and the
audience has the rare Joy of watching
the process of thought.
Her performance, particularly In the
confessional to her husband is one of
repressed fire and as good as anything
of its variety ever witnessed on the
Heilig stage.
Clyde Fogel Gets Ovation.
- Robert Middlemass plays the hus
band, the thrower of stones, with a
manliness and dignity and an earnest
ness of purpose that are truly distinc
tive. To Clyde Fogel. Oregon son, was
given an ovation on his entrance. He
has a delightful role, that of a fine
friend to the husband and wife, and
a role that he makes gracious and
lovable and smart in Its dry humor, a
thoroughly likable role.
Hal Mordaunt was the embodiment
of an audience's conception of all police
commissioners. B-wight Meade con
tributed a rare, fine study as the wife's
former pal for whose crime she suf
fered.
Charles Reigel as a railroad power,
and a half dozen others, give notable
characterizations.

"APRON DAY" AID IS GIVEN
Washington Woman Sends Contri
bution to Junior League.
The Junior League's Apron day, now
an annual institution in the interest of
social service and philanthropic work
in Portland, has attracted attention
outside the city. Miss Rose Goodman1,
who is in charge of the factory, which
is on the top floor of the Worcester
building, yesterday received a letter
from Patterson, Wash., inclosing $2 for
aprons. The aprons have been madeTay
needy Portland women who are pro
vided with work by the Junior League
girls, and next Monday the aprons will
be placed on sale in the various down
town department stores, where mem
bers of the League will act as sales
girls.
A number of the members of various
business clubs will take an active part
in Apron day this year. It is proposed
to have the members gather and go in
squads to the various stores, each -man
buying an apron to tal& homo to some
member of his family.
The advertisements of the stores on
Sunday and Monday will be particularly
interesting, as some of them will de
vote considerable space to the aprons,
giving a history of the apron from the
organization of the Junior League to
the finished product, touching on the
social service work and investigation
conducted by the league members.
MANUFACTURERS TO DINE
Action of Alaskan Commission to
Be Taken Cp.
Lumber manufacturers of Portland,
the Willamette Valley and the Colum
bia River Basin will eat dinner to
gether at. the Portland Hotel tonight.
Subjects of mutual interest will be
discussed,' principal among them be
ing the recent action x of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission in depriving
Dant & Russell, a local firm, of an
order for 12,000,000 feet of lumber
for the new Alaskan railroad. It is
probable that the local lumber men
will outline some sort of vigorous ac
tion to combat the attitude of the com
mission. G. B. Hegardt, engineer for the Pub
lic Docks Commission, W. D. B. Dod
son, executive secretary for the Cham
ber of Commerce, and others will speak.
RIB0T DEMANDS EVOLUTION
French Premier Gives Hint of Con
ditions Requisite to Peace.
PARIS, March 22. Premier Ribot, In
replying to inquiries and comments
upon the new ministerial declaration
made -in the Chamber of Deputies yes
terday, said in alluding to peace that
"it la too early to say what this peace
should be.
"When the United States makes a
generous appeal for the constitution of
a society of nations we say that this
is a great idea; that this is an idea
which has a future," he added, "but to
realize it all nations called to entor
into this society must have attained
some degree of liberal and democratic
evolution.""

PEACE WITH FRANCE
IS SUSPECTED PLAN
Destruction of Villages Re
garded as Threat Against
Occupied Territory.
ABANDONED LAND DESERT
Lack of Reports on German Prison
ers May Be Doe to Officers Be
ins Too Bnsy for Details,
Says. General Maurice.
LONDON, March 22. Germany In her
work of devastation wnlch is turning
the abandoned territory in Northern
France into a desert may have a politi
cal motive in the direction of a threat
thus to treat all occupied territory
unless France enters into peace negotia
tions, was the theory advocated by
Major-General F. B. Maurice, chief
director of military operations at the
War Office, in his weekly. talk to the
Associated Press today.
"The extent of the German retire
ment was' no surprise' to us," he said,
"and you may feel sure that I pre
pared for it. Just where the new line
will be formed. It is impossible to say."
It is by no means certain that the
Germans will again offer battle on the
Cambrai-Laon linev
"Theories as to an ultimate withdrawal-
are putely 'speculative as, for
Instance, pivoting on Lille the Ger
mans may extend their defense from
Cambrai. On the other hand, while
using the same pivot, they may form
a line" along the lower slopes of the
Ardennes."
Destruction Is Wantou.
General Maurice then showed a num
ber of photographs of ruined and burn
ing villages- taken before they were
actually abandoned by the Germans,
showing- an almost total destruction.
With reference to these vilages, he
said: "
"Some were never under our artillery
fire. Of course, destruction dictated by
military necessity is permissible, but
the Germans have turned the abandoned
country into a desert. Every cross
road is marked by a brown mtne crater.
Other measures of this sort were
adopted as a military necessity to
retard our advance, but the wanton
destruction of buildings, - homes and
splendid chateaus cannot be defended
on this ground.
When a military motive ' Is lacking
we must look for a political motive un
less the Germans are animated by a
pure love of savagery. This political
motive may be a threat to France that
unless peace negotiations are entered
into the remainder of the occupied ter
ritory will be turned into the same
sort of desert now marking the Ger
man retreat.
Evacuation of Arras Likely.
"Of course the primary object of the
destruction is a desire to avoid battle
at any cost until the enemy Is securely
fixed in another line, where he can
resume the initiative after compelling
us to make new preparations in the
devastated terrain.
"Unofficial reports of fires and ex
plosions north of Arras have been veri
fied and may mean a retirement in that
direction, as similar actions marked
the preliminaries of the present re
treat. "Stronger resistance on both flanks
of the German withdrawals is quite
natural. At these points the Germans
have the support of their guns and do
not show the same disposition to avoid
battle.
"The lack of reports of prisoners
taken or of the capture of material is
not surprising in view of the fact that
our advanced troops are too busy with
more important operations to send back
detailed reports covering anything ex
cept the most vital movements.
Haste continues to be made through
out the country in order to bring it
Into a stable of preparedness to meet
aggressions by Germany on American
lives and commerce. Nothing new has
been vouchsafed regarding the report
that the expectation in Berlin Wednes
day was that Germany would declare
war against the United States in 48
hours. It is said, however, that the
German Imperial Chancellor ' left Ber
lin that day for general headquarters
to confer with Emperor William and
Field Marshal von Hindenburg on im
portant questions concerning foreign
politics.
The Germans apparently are ending
their retreat along the front in France
and are preparing to give battle every
where to' their oncoming foes. Paris
reports that between the Sbmme and
the Oise the Germans made successive
violent attacks against the French
troops holding the east bank of the St.
Quentin . Canal, but that the French
machine guns stopped them. Attacks
also were delivered by the Germans
near La Fere and between tbe Laon
road and -the River Aisne, but the
French barrage broke them up.
London reports that from the south
of Arras to the west of St. Quentin,
along the entire British front, the Ger
mans are stiffening their resistance in
creasingly. The only advance by the
entente along the French front is
claimed by the French, who crossed
the Allettn River at several points.
Berlin asserts that On both sides of
the Somme and Oise rlverB engage
ments between Germans and entente
advanced detachments have resulted
favorably for the Germans.
There has been a renewal of activity
on the Russian front In the Vllna re
gion. Here the Germans advanced
over a front of two and a half miles
east of Llda and captured 225 Russians
and several guns. Petrograd admits the
advance, but says that later tbe terri
tory was retaken. In Galicia, near
Brody, German attacks have been re
pulsed.
The Turks In Persia are still tn
retreat before the Russians, says Pe
trograd. Nothing new has come
through Concerning the operations of
the British against the Ottomans north
and northeast of Bagdad.
CLUB IS TO OUST KAISER
American Yachtsmen to Publish No
tice of Intent, to Meet .Rules.
NEW YORK, March 722. The Atlan
tic Yacht Club, after much discussion,

liam of Germany and Prince Henry of

"Death to our enemies, the old Min

Minister Kerensky mounted the plat
form amid great acclamations. He drew
a red handkerchief from his -pocket and
waved for silence. As soon as ha could
be heard, he said:
"Have I your confidence, yes or no?"
