1 TERELT MARY AXX," one of the
1V1 most delightful little stories of
stage literature. Is being- offered by the
Baker stock company in its farewell
week. Eleanor Robson created the role
of the wretched Mary Ann. household
drudge in an English boarding house,
whose serving- at the altar of duty
brines her a sad little romance.
After Miss Robson had played it
everywhere, lesser luminaries were sent
on tour in "Merely Mary Ann." and al
ways scored successfully because the
role of the little slavey is actress-proof.
It Is filled with sufficient pathos and
actual sordidness to make any audience
properly sympathetic, and every abuse
heaped on "Merely Mary's" devoted, lit
tle head only serves to add fuel to the
flame of her admiring- onlookers.
When Lancelot, temperamental and
impecunious musician, who boards in
the house where Mary slaves, would
add Joy to Mary's existence by teaehlng-
and helping her. we are tolerant and
kindly until we gauge the disinterested
quality of his interest. When poor
Mary quite loses her heart and be
fuddled little head and would fly, with
out a wedding- ring, to a haven in the
country with her Lancelot we are in
dignant with Lancelot and more than
ever sympathetic for Merely Mary. Then
when Mary falls heiress to so much
money that even Lancelot cannot pic
ture, and he decides to give up Mary

taking without marriage, we are again
properly elated.
When the last act shows us Mary,
new Marion, the finished drawing room
product of six years' intensive culture,
and we learn that she still sighs for
her Lancelot, we realise that we too
want the author to fetch that tempera
mental mus'ician hero quickly into the
action so that Mary and we may be
glad. He does. Jihe is and we are.
The story is simplicity Itself, but told
in charming lines and situations. It has
been given here in stock several times.

an exquisite accounting of the part one

NEW HOTEL STARTS BOOM
Six-Story Apartment House to Kise
at Taconia This Summer.
T A COM A, Wash., June 59. (Special.)
Pronosed construction on the 11,500,-
000 Hotel Alexander on Broadway has
started a trend of the shopping district
in that direction. The Olympic apart
ments. Inc. announced today that i
six-story apartment house with space
for exclusive shops on the Broadway
side would be built directly across the
street from the hotel at Sixth avenue
and Broadway. S. H. Anschell. Dana
Roberts. F. L. Hufeison and associates
are the projectors of the enterprise.
The building will have 80 apartment
and four stores, and its estimated cost
is $300,000. Plana of the building have
been completed and construction will
start in July, it was announced.
Oaks.
CAN the success of a musical comedy
production be revived?
That was the question answered at
the Oaks Amusement Park Sunday with
the presentation of "The Yankee Tar," a
musical opera by John r . Cordray, man
ager of the Oaks and for many years
one of Portland's foremost theatrical
producers.
"The Yankee Tar," was given at both
Sunday performances and was declared
to be the most beautifully costumed and
most interesting production yet pre
sented by the popular Armstrong Folly
company. Although the tabloid is dis
tinctly the work of Mr. Cordray, Its
production throughout the present
week will be directed by Ed Armstrong
and presented by tho notable cast of
the Armstrong company.
The scene of the production is in a
Japanese tea garden, where Pat Flan
nlgan and Mike Hogan, American sail
ors, get hopelessly mixed up with
Geisha girls and their predicament de
mands the attention of their respective
wives. Scenic beauty is a prominent
feature of "The Yankee Tar," and spec
tacular effects lend additional charm.
Throughout the tabloid there is a
patriotic tone that culminates In a very
thrilling grand finale, said to be a de
parture from anything ever attempted
in musical comedy. The original tab
loid has been changed by inserting new
humor and late music The work of
the chorus Is up to the minute.
Miss Perqueta Courtney, leading lady,
takes the part of Mrs. Captain Thomas,
and leads an especially delightful song
number. The Winter Garden runway
chorus comes in for its big share of
attention in several notable specialty
numbers that Mr. Cordray and Mr.
Armstrong have worked out together.
The beautiful opening scenes and the
thrilling finale, when all principals are
happily brought together and sail out
of sight in a Yankee man o' war are
features that deserve great credit.

Columbia Beach.
HAT with the Maccabees of Port
land and thousands of others at
the resort, a warm day and the river
back in bounds, Columbia Beach came
into its own yesterday. From the time
that the sun first banished the clouds
from the sky until long after It had
set cars hauled all they could carry to
the big river resort.
There were many things happening
besides the affairs of the Maccabees.
On the beach was an Oregon version of
Waikiki with music and dancing and
merry little parties on the warm sand.
In the groves were hundreds of ma
chines and their occupants making
day of it, with bundles and lunches and
packages.
Bathing claimed many devotees. Lit
tle tots that could barely toddle
splashed in the shallow waters, while
more intrepid swimmers tried the new
swings and floats put there for their
benefit. Terwilliger and Douglas gave
an exhibition of water acrobatics in
the way of surfboard riding, present
ing their new "stunt" the "Ben Hura
of the Water." It consists of riding or
attempting to ride, two shingles in
stead of one.
Miller, the aeronaut, made a pretty
trip. When about 1500 feet over the
island he struck a wind, which carried
him back towards the starting point,
so that when he dropped the bag and
parachute came down within 200 feet
of each other.
The programme of the Maccabees in
cluded races on the beach and numer

sented with everything from furniture

the order were out.

By maintaining a clear accident rec
ord last week during observance of
"No-Accident Week" in the northwest
region, the Oregon-Washington rail
road company takes first place among
roads of the United States in efficiency
on this point. Reports received yes
terday morning by J. F. Grodzki of the
safety bureau showed no reportable ac
cidents for the entire week and in the
same period not a passenger was even
bruised and not a grade-crossing acci
dent took place. This is a record un
precedented in railroad annals among
roads of similar size and importance.
During the corresponding week of
1918 there were 476 injuries In the
northwest region, while 76 injuries were
reported on all lines during no-acci

on the 62 railroads represented. A re

CHURCH MERGER FAVORED
Pasco Would Unite Religious Organ-
' izatlons Into One Body.
PASCO. Wash., June 29. (Special.)
There is a growing sentiment in Pasco
for a uniting of the church forces of
the city. A number of small churches
are struggling for an existence, all of
them unable to pay salaries which a
minister should receive. It is believed
that if a union of forces can be effected
it will result in greater efficiency and
at the same time lighten the Individual
burdens. Stronger men can be secured
in the pulpit, better salaries can be
paid, larger congregations will result
and greater interest be maintained.

Message la Sent East.
Mr. Grodzki, upon receiving reports
from division superintendents yester
day, sent the following message to H. J.
Bell, regional supervisor of safety, with
headquarters in Chicago:
"Accident report June 28 There were
no deaths, no injuries on any of these
properties. Would appreciate wire on
any information as :o region; wish to
use same at large meeting in Albany,
Or., tomorrow." V-
The following summary of the rec
ord established by properties under con
trol of Federal Manager O'Brien was
prepared yesterday by Mr. Grodzki:
"Oregon-Washington No deaths or
injuries entire no-accident week, a
clear record, and on basis of reports al
ready received from Mr. Bell this un
questionably is the only large rail
road in the entire region west of Chi
cago that has a perfectly clear record.
The no-accident week campaign al
ready has been staged in all other rail
road regions and I have been informed
by Mr. Bell that up to the present time
no other railroad the size of the Ore-gan-Washington
has made a clear rec
ord. This unquestionably places the
Oregon-Washington road at the head of
the list for safety of all roads under
federal control.
"Southern Pacific north of Ashland
The two minor and unavoidable injur
ies early in the week still leave It five
clear days for the week and reports
received from Chicago indicate that no
other road in this contest the size of
the Southern Pacific has had more than
five clear no-accident days. This rec
ord, therefore, places the Southern Pa
cific lines second to the Oregon-Wash
ington in tho region In the contest.
"Northern Pacific Terminal, Pacific
coast railroad and San Francisco &
Portland Steamship lines All of these
properties under Federal Manager
