-There is Utile of France that I did

night, "and everywhere I went I saw
Oregon men. After the old 3d Ore

"It rained a great deal in France,
but the beet place for good climate was
at Nice, the rest area. In January it
was just aa balmy as one would care

Portland certainly is the place to live.
Over there the Frenchmen don't know

Alcazar.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
T7IRECKLKS." Mrs. Gene Strattton
Porter's story of the Limberlost
region, has been made into a play, and
the Alcazar players are presenting it
this week.
I Neil Twomey made the stage adapta
tion from Mrs. Porter's story and has
kept intact the salient features and
much of the oicturesque woodsy atmos
phere which has served to make a fol
lowing for Mrs. Porter's books. The
story tells of the courageous adven
tures and fortunes of a lad who is
physically handicapped and nameless.
His high courage wins for him a -place
as a guard In the forests of the Lim
berlost mountains, and it is the same
fine fortitude which carries him
through encounters with timber
thieves, and a big romance, in botn or.
which he emerges victorious. There's
a nice adjustment of the laws of com
pensation in the last of the three acts
and Freckles finds out all about his
parentage and his right to a name
other than Just Freckles. The Alcasar
players give individual worth while
accountings of the roles.
Edward Everett Horton Is Freckles,
a role wholly dissimilar in type to
anything he has given bis audiences
heretofore. Freckles Is, a lad, a young
untutored boy from an orphanage, and
bv some clever wand of the make-up
box Mr. Horton makes of Freckles a
consistent portrait- It is a role com
mtndinr svmDathV. too.
Alice Fleming is Angel, so named oy
Freckles, to whom she is an inspiration
and goal. Miss Fleming plays the role
prettily and with an undercurrent of
sympathy for Freckles, which is felt
by the audience.
There's two villains, timber thieves,
and thev are made very real and des
perate in tm keeping of James Guy
I'sher and Rodney Hlldebrand. A pair
of fond old Scotch folk, married sweet
hearts, are made sincerely real by
Smith Davles and Marie Curtis, both
of whom maintain constantly an ex
cellent accent. '
Vaughan Morgan is natural as the
timber boss, whose kindness to
Freckles is the first step upward for
the lad. Katherine Graham is con
spicuous for her womanly charm and
naturalness of method in the role of a
girl who is a friend to the birds in
the forest. In the last act. when there s
a party given for Freckles, Miss Flem
ing is charming in a love of a blue
taffeta frock, and Miss Graham is
startlingly lovely in a black gown.
The scenes, especially the two wood
land pictures, are picturesque. The
first act has a waterfall which is de
lightfully realistic. "Freckles'" will
continue all week wltn matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday.

Lyric.
JTH elaborate and tasteful stage
settings as a background, and
with the famous Rosebud beauty
chorus dancing in and out of the plot.
Clarence Wurdick and Al Franks romp
through a lot of fun at the Lyric -this
week in "Hot Old Sports," the offering
Keating and Flood are staging at their
popular house. The two comedians,
with the familiar, yet ever-laughable
roles of Mike and Ike. get into the
usual humorous difficulties, and in the
end get out again, with everybody hap.
py and the tangles of the plot solved
to the satisfaction of the audience.
Most of the action takes place in i
cabaret of the most lively kind, fur
nishing ample opportunity for specia
offerings by members of the augmented
cast. Pretty costumes and well-man
aged lighting effects round out the
show. . which seemed to thoroughly
please Sunday's audiences.
Among the musical numbers, the
opening chorus and dance, "Girls Are
Tretty Things." was quite pretentious
and well executed. "Give Me a Yan
kee," won the house with its patriotic
theme; and "Egyptland, sung by
Clarence Wurdick and chorus, was a
distinct hit. Dorothy Raymond won
ample applause with "Poor Dixie I.and
Wants HcrCaroline;" and the Lyric
trio, composed of Jewell LaVellc, Ben
Broderick and Clarence Wurdiek, reap
ed repeated encores. Billy Bingham's
singing of "Rosebud" also goes well
with the house.
The Lyric show is rounded out with
a screaming Mack Sennett comedy that
keeps the audience in an uproar from
first flicker to its finale. The show
will run throughout the week, with the
ususl feature nights "country store"
Monday, and the chorus Girls' contest
on Friday. i
which opened at the Heilig theater
yesterday. Is one of the best-balanced
and highly entertaining Jhat has been
at the popular show house for' some
time. There wasn't a "tragedy" in any
act. and although the sparkling musical
comedy. "The Reckless Eve," was billed
as the beadliner, it was difficult to tell
between two or three other acts which
was the feature.
Girls, and plenty of them, as sprin
kled throughout the show: in fact,
there are 2t altogether, 14 of them
making their appearance in "The Reck
less Eve." The skit is built around
lobby in a New Tork hotel, and a mil
lionaire's son trades places with the
night clerk. Just for the night. It is
New Tear's eve and the gayety is at
its height. The janitor, with his hard
luck story about the boiler and his '1
don't want to worry yuh or nothlnV
was a scream every time he interrupted
the show.
Earl Dewey as Steve Wilson, the
original night clerk, had a few ideas
of his own fo.- the yob and the audi
ence had a wonderful time while he
was teaching the tricks of the trade
to Larry Richardson as Jarvls Hunt
ington. It developed that a million
airess was coming to visit the hotel
and Huntington was her unknown
fiance, but in order to get a "line" on
her without her knowledge he traded
positions with Steve Wilson.
Lester Crawford and Helen Broder
ick had their act titled "A Little of
Thia and a Little of That" and that
was all there was to it. Helen's height
Is better than six feet, or it looks that
way, and she is not corpulent. With
the aid of Crawford she explains the
reason why. The act was a scream from
start to finish, and Miss Broderick ap
peared to be uninterested In the talk
of her 'partner and answered him in
just that manner.
"A Child of Childs" Is a mystery
farce featuring Bessie Rempel, and it
is all the name implies. The chairs on
the stage rock, the curtains move and
they dash around as though there were
real ghosts among them. There are
five members in the cast and it deals
with the attemr: of Miss Rempel to
become a "crook." She weakens.
eta Johnson terms herself as a
different comedienne" and the audience
is led to believe such. She sings, plays
the piano and has a violin and bow
which she maneuvers, but she does not
disclose her rrsthod of using the bow
until the end of the number.
The opening act is the Clinton sisters
in "Interpretative Costume Dances.
They are as nimble and lithe as fairies
and each number is well received. The
two 'close their appearance in "The
Fisher Lads" and It is "different."
Specially written and popular songs
are featured by Florence Merritt and
Gaby Bridewell. "Good-by, Alexander1
and I Want a Man" were next to "I've
Got the Railroad Blues" when it came
to causing the audience to sit up and
take notice. One of the misses was at
the piano, and she made it a duet now
and then. A letter from "Tho Sweet
heart in France was sung.
A novelty and "sterling" offering
was presented by the Sterlings, who
danced and jigged on roller skates.
They danced with as much ease on
skates as the ordinary person would on
a maple floor. The Orphcum Travel
Weekly related a trip around Java. The
bill closes Wednesday matinee.

OREGONIA.V NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington. April 10. Conferences held here
during; the last few days by represen
tatives of the United States League of
Building and Loan as50ciatlons have
resulted In a tentative draft of tht bill
for federal home loan banks. The bill
will be presented to the next congress.
The first draft of the proposed bill
provides that there thall be established
in the treasury department a bureau
charged with the execution and ad
ministration of the act. which shall be
known as the federal home loan bu
reau, under the general supervision of
the federal home loan board. This
board is to consist of five members
appointed by the president at a salary
of $10,000 a year. The bill would estab
lish 11 home loan districts in the United
States.
Whenever ten or more building: asso
ciations, located within a district, with
segregate assets of not less than
$3,000,000. shall associate themselves
together for the purpose, they may
organise the federal home loan bank of
the district. Every such bank shall
begin business with a paid-up cash
capital of not less than $100,000 in
shares of $1000 each.
Only building associations may pur
chase or hold the stock of the bank
These banks shall be government de.
posltories for such funds as are deslg.
nated by the secretary of the treasury.
Q:RATCH the skin of civilized man
Uand underneath you'll find the
savage, tha creature of primordial In
stincts and passions," is the dictum
which provides the theme for "Her
Man," a dramatic and spectacular pho
toplay of the Kentucky feudists which
opened at the Strand theater yester
day.
Elaine Hammerstein, noted stage and
screen beauty and granddaughter of
Oscar Hammerstein, the famous oper
atic impresario, is the star at this film
feature. Histrionic pyrotechnics, dra
matic incidents galore, night battles
between the feudists, and some scenery
which departs from the usual California-flavored
backgrounds, lend attrac
tiveness to production rather away
rrom the beaten path of Strand photo
play offerings.
The heroine Is a lass several genera
tions removed from the Cumberland
hills the product of New York social
life. She obeys the dying behest of
her grandfather and returns to her an
cestral home, carrying with her the
gospel of the law. But this doctrine
of hers has a boomerang effect, and
when "her man" is threatened with
death the girl suddenly throws off the
generations of civilization, and with
blood-lust in eyea and her fingers on
the trigger, calls to her enemies, in the
dramatic high-light of the picture.
'Come and get him. damn you!"
The Basset t children, the 4 and 6-
year-old kiddies who amazed and con
vulsed audiences last week with their
clever dancing, are back in a holdover
engagement, with a new dance reper
toire. Russian, ballet, Spanish all
steps look alike to these precocious
youngsters, and they scored a hit with
opening-day crowds.
Gene Fowler, in head and hand bal
ancing: Hazel Devere, who sings pop
ular songs and dances a sailor's horn
pipe, and Dreano and Goodwin, a noisy
and "nutty" pair with a woman who
holds the long-distance talking record
are other pleasing vaudeville numbers.
