THE 3IORNIXG OTIEGONIAN. 3IOXDAT. DECE3IBER SO. 1913. NEW BILLS OPEN AT PORTLAND THEATERS 14 S 11 , , , 5 . Alcazar. r.T LEON'E CASS BAER. THERE ia something: remarkably catchy about the atmosphere of rapid farce, especially when it Is put on In ji rapid-fire way. Certainly "The High Cost of Lovinp" is a highly humorous farce and it Is helped greatly by the Einprery playing accorded it at the hands of the Alcazar Players. . Yesterday's opening performance -was very much of a joyous occasion at that playhouse, with u capacity audience that swayed and rocked in its several eeats. completely doubled up with lau&htcr. This is the farce Kolb and Dill brousrht to us a season ago, and which has been a tremendous laugh ing: success wherever presented. The farce was written to fit the es pecial comedy gifts of this popular pair of funsters and it is to the everlasting credit of Edward Everett Horton and Louis Leon Hall that in one week's rehearsal they got up in parts that would tax the resources of the most expert comedian, roles that for road production invariably receive at least eight weeks of searchful etudy. Both Mr. Horton, in the tall, attenu ated Kolb's role, and Jlr. Hall, as the obese Dill's part, and for that matter, the other players in the company, have developed each character in all its finesse and the production is a rare enjoyable achievement. It is played in such high good spirits that the fun is all-pervading. The btory has been told before, but a brief catching up of the high points in its theme will call it to mind. Lud wig Klinke. once of Holland, a mustard merchant, safely wedded these past "0 years to Emma Klinke and blessed with one charming ewe lamb, Cora, suddenly finds an episode in his past confront ing him. For 25 years he has paid hush money to a one-time dancer called the "Lightning Bug," whom he had met when the black crook visited his home town a quarter of a century be fore. The Lightning Bug had sent him a photo of a baby boy, inscribed, "To Jopsy Wopey, from Xoel, his Christmas gift," or something similar. Poor old Ludwig is threatened with exposure when thereceipts he has been hoarding come into possession of Tucker, the chap who wants to wed Cora. Ludwig hates Tucker, and that young man proceeds to tame papa into a nice state for subjection. The whole thing is given another grotesque turn in that Ludwig: is the youngest member of the Anti-Vice League and his brother-in-law, Albert, is a fine crusader against sin, and Emma, too, is an earnest uncovcrer of fallings from trace. Bit by bit, piece hy piece, we find each pillar of the league is a double Btreaked villain, each is paying black mail to the Lightning Bug and each thinks Xoel is his own Christmas gift. A Noel turns up, and if anything else were needed to throw a bomb into the camp it is this Noel, who is in reality a dry-as-dust bug-hunting professor of something in a college, but who is, of course, regarded as the son of his four fathers. It is just one series of compli cations following another, with' a par cel of scared men, Ludwig and fat Al bert, important and self-satisfied Ed ward (Emma's brother), and poor old doddering white-haired L'ncle Tiede meyer, each protesting and proclaiming and perspiring. It's an all-in-the-family row, and capital fun. Of course, it gets untangled and everything is explained to everyone's satisfaction, but one of the delightful things about it all is that up to the very last minute there is no knowing how it's going to end and no letting down of the interest. Mr. Horton's auspicious Klinke is ad mirable and his pantomime adds de liciously to it. Mr. Hall's Albert is rollicking and unctuous of humor. Smith Davies is capable as the righteous sin Tier Edward, and a capital character ization is that of Jack Carter's white haired tottering old reprobate Tiede meyer. Vaughan Morgan, as Noel, looks like the nobility who come to visit Jiggs in the funny pictures and his every word and movement is a riot. James Guy-Usher is the reliant hero chap who outguesses Ludwig and cap tures Cora. That role is played pret tily by Alice Fleming. Her frocks are dreams of loveliness. A splendid cKar acter study is contributed by Jessie Brink, as the energetic, suspicious, bustling Emma, wife to Ludwig. Her playing is the acme of naturalness. Ann Winston is a colorful sprite, as Rose, who adores Noel, and gets him. Louise Dills adds a picturesque bit as a maid and Marie Curtis is decidedly attractive and interesting as Noel's mo ther, who is mistaken for the Lightning Bug with almost fatal results.

THE old saying, "There's nothing new under the sun," was refuted yesterday when Ike Mayerfield, Jewish comedian of the Keating and Flood Musical Company, in "Hoop-La," the new bill at the Lyric Theater this week, appeared wearing a vivid red mustache. As in all things, there was a reason and in this case the red mustache served as part of Ike's "disgust of a rletuctive." In the role of a detective, Ike playing as usual opposite his Irish friend, Mike Dooley, assumed the part ot a waiter that he might discover grounds for divorce by watching his rich grass widow, also living at the Seaside Hotel. The scheme works just as all Ike's and Mike's schemes always work. Several bits of comedy are in troduced into the plot by the strike of the waiters' union, of which Madeline Mathews as "a tough waitress" is the spokesman. Lavish new costumes are worn by chorus girls in this week's prodtiction. Among the most effective are yellow and black dresses worn in the first act in the song, "Hello. People," given by the chorus and Ben Broderick, bari tone. Dot Raymond as Mrs. Myerfield, Ike's wife, who spends Ike's beloved coin, appears in the musical setting. "Forever is a Long, Long Time." Two . 6olo dances, by Miss Lund and Miss Marie Celestinc. are included in the programme as is a Russian dance by six of the chorus girls and a number of elhcr novel musical productions.

FULL of merry laughter, melo-dra-matic love scenes and underhanded plotting, "Blue Jeans," a rural comedy playlet of the Sis Hopkins variety, opened the week at the Baker Theater yesterday. Capacity houses, at both afternoon and evening performances, testified to the success of the play. The curttin rises to disclose a scene in the back yard of the couitry home or Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Tutewiler (Irving Kennedy and Laura Rogers), with a grain field background. Perry Bascom (Albert McGovern), i from the city, is the first intruder upon I the peacefulness of the scene. He has : come to the country town under the influence of Colonel Henry Clay Risener (George P. Webster), a would-be poli tician, but has not been there long when the whole population bursts in and proceeds to stage an old-fashioned barn dance. Perry, though a strong orator, is an easy victim, to the wiles of women, and falls in love at first sight with the only girl in the town who wore high- ton), who up to this time was widely J known as the sweetheart of Ben Boone (Lee Millar), the biggest and most viliainous character around. I'erry loses this love, however, when a prettier girl, June (Olive Templeton), a resident of a near-by poorhouse. in vites herself to become the adopted daughter of the Tutewilers. The second scene is laid in the or chard of Perry's new home, in the early Springtime with the trees in full blos som. A barbecue is the event of the day, and in this act, too, the whole town population is present most of the time. June and Perry meet under an apple tree, tell each other their troubles and decide to get married that very day. but. alas, the scheming Sue, who was rejected by Perry, overhears their plans and" resolves to interfere. fie is un succersful at the time, however, and the next act shows Perry and June happily married. Sue's plans proceed healthily and stealthily with the aid of the villain Ben. and after a series of incidents succeed in bringing herself and Perry together alone in Perry's sawmill. June surprises them first, and while Sue is trying to ruin Perry in the eyes of his wife, Ben breaks through the ,door, throws himself upon Perry, chokes him, puts him on the aw table and turns on the power. Meanwhile his wife had been locked in an upstairs room, and, realizing the danger to her husband, breaks down the door with a chair and turns off the power Just as the teeth of the saw begin to tear into Perry's clothing. Everything is cleared up in the Tute wiler home on Christmas eve five yeaj-s later, and the curtain is lowered with everyone happy and married. CHARACTERS.

KELLY, black as the ace of spades, short and slender, the very per sonification of agility, with his partner, Lilliard, huge, pompous and just as dusky, are the headllners in the new vaudeville show which opened the pro gramme at the Strant Theater yester day afternoon. Their act includes repartee which Mrs. Malaprop, herself, could not ex ceed in as far as big words used in the wrong conception and uniquely mispronounced, are concerned. Clog dancing, such as well might have orig inted down South, on the partbf Kelly and manipulation of ilie " ugle by Lil liard, with singing from both, round out an exceptionally good vaudeville act. "When the Boys Come Home," the words of which were written by John Hay during another great American war, was sung with great effect by Lilliard and received merited apprecia tion. Fox terriers never fail to win appre ciation from the kiddies, nor from their more stoical elders. The two terriers and a wee shaggy black pup exhibited by Schick to the great amusement of Strand patrons were no exceptions. Perhaps the cleverest trick demonstrat ed during the act was the ability of one of the terriers to balance on one foot, after being tossed into the air and landing on the outstretched palm of his owner. Acrobatic stunts of Schick lengthened the act. An original description of a circus was part of the comedy put on by Richards and Stedman. The descrip tion was carried on by the repetition method to the partner with a propensity towards a red nose and bad hearing. Whether the two were cause and effect the audience did not know, but it did chortle considerably over the repeated and juggled circus description. Black and White, another piece of the ridicu lous, won warm applause. Of special interest was the motion picture which followed the usual war pictures, for the girl who played op posite Bert Lytell, hero of "Unexpected Places," is Rhea Mitchell, formerly of Portkind. She appears as the beautiful cousin of the newspaper man who sud denly finds himself of the English nobility. Hippodrome. IT remained for two trained seals to draw the most applause In the new show at the Hippodrome yesterday. One of the wonderful pair of Beals, not con tent with the applause of the audience, clapped his hands at the end of each of his and his companion's stunts. Balancing balls, throwing them in the air and catching them was tame stuff to these tish from the Arctic Ocean. !

TO TURN a slice of life into a fine, fascinating vaudeville playlet the dramatist must either evolve a virile plot, beat the credulity of the audience into insensibility with humorous situa tions, engage the audience's entire and complete sympathy and a flickering of understanding, or as a last resort. possess a clear sense of the dramatic Particularly is this true wheh the slice of life represented touches on the psy chology of patriotism. Tom Barry, who has written for Sarah Padden, the Bernhardt of vaude ville, who headlines the Orpheum bill which opened yesterday, the supreme novelty playlet of the season, has over looked none of the main impulses in turning one particular slice of life into a human, gripping playlet. Sarah Pad den goes further than its author. He lias written with a lofty purpose, a high aim, a fine feeling for the ro mantic and a genuine impetus to write significantly. Sarah Padden gives an impassioned and Jmpressiv, playing of the role -the ?"Ly rl 1,1 Jh5, short play It is called "The Eternal Barrier," and is the epi sode in the life of a young widow wiio comes to make friends with the aria tocratic family of her late husband and to give to them the cross of honor he had won. The girl Is shown into the drawing room and sits waiting, a tense, tragic figure whispering: "I wonder if they'll see me, and if they do, what shall I say If they won't see me. what shall I do?" The enactment from this point, on until the jangle of a telephone cuts the last silence, is the dream the girl has. In' it she addresses by turns the visions she sees of her boy huband's mother, his father and his mother, tell ing his story; telling of herself and pleading, not for her own acceptance Into the family, but for forgiveness of the son who had been cast off for marrying out of his caste. The passionate appeal to the boy's sister is an exquisite bit, the appeal to the mother is a deep vibrant call of woman heart to woman heart, and the appeal to the boy's father is a stupendous arraignment of his crime toward his son in forsaking him, and a fiery denunciation of caste and bar riers of class. The admirabl: way in which Sarah Padden loses her identity in this realistic modern role, and her many shadings of the part, the splendid outpouring of vitality and dramatic re sourcefulness, and. beneath it all, the repressed emotional artistry, occa sionally loosened in a flood of tears, is a substantial tribute to the actress' versatility. There is no bid for sensationalism in Miss Padden's sketch, its theme and moral purpose are good and its enact ment is beautiful. Grace Nelson, a golden voiced girl, sings with allurement and great charm. Her selections all show off the unusual flute-like quality of her high soprano, a voice radiant with melody and color. Her "Pal o' Mine" is a beautiful mo ment, unforgettably sweet. With all due appreciation of the mas culine and weaker sex, it is the fem inine or chocolate and tea sex that predominates in actual talent on the new Orpheum bill. Besides Miss Padden and Miss Nelson, there are the four Buttercups, all excellent soloists, who contrive to combine their vocalings so adroitly that the harmony reaches clear to our hearts. One girl has a "big bass viol" voice, and comes in on the runs with fine effect. Their programme varies from grave to gay, and every moment of it is delightful. The Buttercup singers are Virginia Daly, Mayme La Rue. Helen Hammond and Gertrude Moody. The staging of their act is novel, inasmuch as they appear as feminine stage hands and then butterfly Into buttercups. George Le Malre, one of the cleverest blackface funsters in captivity, returns with a new partner. Clay Crouch, who is just as funny as Conroy ever dared be, and. a good foil for the ebon eccen tricities of Le Maire. They discuss "Nigger Insurance" as of yore, and then drift into an episode in a surgical operating room with one dinge as a doctor and 'tother as a prcspectlve cus tomer. The fun is positively convuls ing in effect and the audience hasn't recovered yet. Leo Beers, invariably a favorite, saunters up to a piano and fairly makes it talk for him. Beers' pleasing per sonality, his excellent voice and his unusual playing and interesting songs make the offering a fine one. A big ten-man "Rubeville" act, fea turing the village band and the town cut-up. with Harry Watson as the storekeeper and Jim Carney as the city swell, offers plenty of good comedy, excellent music and dancing.
