BIO TO REPRESENT

ser Begins Rehearsals.
SAN FORD KAN GAS LEADER
fiupport of Business Men for Or
ganization of 60 Pieces Is
to Be Sought.
- The Oregon Marine band, incorpo
rated, is the name of the new musical
organization with which Brie V. Hau
ler and his business associates are
actively interested, and it had a large
ly attended rehearsal in the Arcadian
Garden, Multnomah hotel, yesterday
morning', under its newly-appointed
leader, Sanford Kansas.
It is proposed to enlarge the band
to 60 musicians, and to make it the
leading band in the Pacific northwest,
riot onlv to Dlay at concerts in this
city but other portions of Oregon.
The name "Oregon Marine band" is
probably taken from the famous
Washington, D. C, band, once direct
ed by Sousa. called the U. S. Marine
bend, and also because of the fact
That many men in the new band be
Img or did recently belong to the
Shipbuilding trade.
Leader Native of Klnland.
' The band leader, Sanford Kansas,
is a native of Finland and for 12
years he was a band leader at Aber
deen. Wash., where he came under
Mr. Hauser's notice. Mr. Kangas was
leader of the Grant Smith-Porter
company's band, in their shipbuilding
yard in Aberdeen, Wash. Mr. Kangas
is a natural band leader and possesses
marked talent in that direction. He
Is a cornet player.
Mr; Hauser was absent from this
oity yesterday on business and left
this letter to be read by the musi
cians: ty purpose In inviting you hre today
Is to form the basis of a his?h-e!ass mili
tary band organization in Portland that
will eventually comprise a membership of
from 40 to J0 musicians, and produce a
eriea of military band concerts of popular
character. Many of our local people fail
to realize that Portland is favored -with
u larger percentage of able and sifted
musicians than any similar city in the
IJnited States, and hence they are blind
to the possibilities of making our city a
Tnusical center second to none in the coun
try. Business Men's Snpport Bought.
After we have had one or two re
hearsals and mapped out -a concert pro
gramme. 1 will undertake to interest some
of tha business men of "Portland in the
matter of supporting a military band or
ganization of tills character, which I feel
ill be a source of pleasure and (gratifica
tion to tho members of tile band as well
as to the citizens who interest themselves
in the projeot.
I reRret thai. I cannot meet you at your
f'rst rehearsal, but trust that you will
feel Interested sufficiency to meet again
in this room Sunday, Xovember 0. at 11
-. M. for another rehearsal, at which time
J hope to have more definite plans out
lined for tho future of this organization.
JSanford Kangas will be the conductor.

of this was duty-free and nearly ail
Was brought from British Columbia.
The volume of lumber imports, ac

Artistic Interpreter of Liszt
and Chopin.
The soloist chosen for the concert
of the Portland Symphony orchestra,
November 12, in the Heilig theater, is
Rudolph Ganz, who is acclaimed as
one of the greatest of big concert
pianists of international fame. In
deed, there are some Ganz enthusiasts

rtistic living internreter of the
works of Liszt and Cbopin.
Ganz was born in Switzerland, and
served his term of army service in
that country where he was a ser
geant. November 12, Mr. Ganz will
play with the orchestra a Greig con

Francis of Assisi Preaching to the
Birds." and "Saint Francis of Assisi
Walking on the Waves."
Portlanders who hold reservations
for season seats for the concerts may
exchange their cards for season seats
tomorrow morning at the Heilig
theater box office. Patrons may make
reservations too.
Keen interest is being shown in
the season of the musical organiza

lowed the announcement that Ru
dolph Ganz, Sophie Breslau, and
Albert Spaulding, noted concert stars,
are to appear at the first three con
certs.
CIVILIAN RESERVE GROWS
NEARLY 1800 MEN ALREADY'
ON ROLL IN PORTLAND.
Enrollment of 15,000 to 20,000 in
City Is Expected Crusade
Now Well Under Way.
With recruiting work just getting
under way, approximately 1800 men
already have signed up in the Civilian
Reserve now being organized by the
American Legion in Portland, it was
announced at Liberty temple head
quarters Saturday.
As this is but the commencement of
the campaign, those in charge are
pleased with the results and predict
that 15,000 to 20.000 will be enrolled
without difficulty.
In one business house, that of Olds,
Wortman & King, it was announced
that 150 recruits had been secured.
Plans for carrying the campaign to
other business houses of the city have
been outlined and the work will be
taken up in earnest this week. A. F.
Roth, legion representative, is in
charge of. this work and he reported
the big firms of the city co-operating
freely.
Recruits secured at Liberty temple
headquarters have doubled within the
past two days. This, with the large
number secured in the outside cam
paign, shows that the crusade is well
under way.
LUMBER ORDERS ADVANCE
MILLS SHOW NEW BUSINESS
OF 63,009,000 FEET.
Car Shortage Prevents Mills From
Taking on Heavier Trade
Building Operations Gain.
A distinct advance in the volume of
orders is reported by lumber manu
facturers in western Oregon and
western Washington in the last week,
according to the report of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association. . To
tal new business at 123 mills con
tributing to the report of the asso
elation last week was-63,609,000 feet,
a gain of more than 3,500,000 feet
over the previous week.
The mills are getting a steady run
of inquiries, tne report states, indi
eating that buying for the spring
trade will start much earlier this
year than usual. The prevailing car
shortage is preventing the manufac
turers from taking on a heavier run
of orders. It is expected that it will
be 30 days at least before the mills
will be getting their normal run of
cars, and meanwhile some plants may

western Washington as a whole still
is 30 per cent short of stock3 and
with a brisk buying movement open
ing up it is hardly expected that
stocks will get back to normal this
winter.
While the mills last week cut 87.
491.000 feet, shipments aggregated
67,809.248 feet an excess of cut over
shipments of 19,681.752 feet, the re
port goes on to say. At this rate it
will take the mills a. long time to
make up tho existing stock shortage,
but with a normal car supply the sur
plus production soon will be over
come entirely.
Rail shipments last week were 1643
cars, leaving an aggregate of 7168
cars of unfilled orders on the books
of the mills. Building operations in
Seattle and other cities in the north
west where strikes had been in prog
ress are getting back to normal, the
report states, and local orders are in
creasing accordingly. The total for
the week was 5.611.100 feet.
Kxpnrt orders were 5.510,822 feet
and domestic cargo orders 7.177,226
feet a total of 12,688,048 feet of
water-borne business.

NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
Orpheum.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
AN Italian John Mccormick is Cic
colini, pronounced Chick-o-leeny,
and mentioned in this review with a
fond prayer that it may reach the
eye and understanding of an acutoly-mtif-ical
woman who sat near mc at
the Orpheum yesterday and merrily
hummed alon.? with Clccolir.i, whom
she called Monsoor Sickolony. Three
of his solos she knew real well, be
cause they were tunes, (iPai o' Mine,"
"Mother Machree" and "Until." but
she wasn't even on spelling and pro
nouncing acquaintance with his aria
from "La Tosca'" and his "Klegie"
from Massenet, and so we heard them
through as only Ciccolinl can do
them, tenderly, sympathetically and
exquisite vocally.
His is a picturesque personality,
warm colored and magnetic and his
tenor voice is flexible, sweet and car
ries the quality of feeling In a marked
degree. Certainly it is a well-trained
voice, of operatic caliber. Coccolini
further enhances the pictures his
voice conjures by his own charm of
manner.
After a lengthy programme and
when he had responded with a dozen
bows to as many wistful calls for
more, he came out like a young erect
lad, smiling: as if he liked to sing for
us'and gave a beautiful, tender treat
ment of that always popular Mother
Machree.
Besides the grand opera recruit there
are two other headfiners on the Or
pheum bill. One of the others is Harry
(Jreen. who invented and brought to
our attention Mister George Wash
ington Cohen. This season G. W.
Cohen is a knocker at heaven's gate,
not knocking in the generally ac
cepted sense, but for admission as a
non-paying guest, St. Peter, looking
lUte the pictures we used to get on
our Sunday school cards, is an ob
durate office boy at the portals and
Mr. Cohen's overtures and blandish
ments are delightfully original and
humorous. Cohen is put through an
amazing examination in which his
sins of omission and sins of commis
sion are luridly featured with a huge
clock flashing out signals of white
or red as he tells the truth or does
not tell the truth. It is all highly
I diverting and naturally the greater
part of its fun is due to the clever
artistry of Harry Green, whose He-
aic dialect and tendencies were pre
sented to him on his birthda3'. His
comedy gift is positive and constantly
happy.
Lillian Shaw is the third headllner.
She is a vocal dialectician, original in
her methods and carrying out her in
terpretations with a fine show of
naturalness. Her "to be or not to be"
bride is a riot in fun. So is her
aftermath number, when she is a be
draggled mother, wheeling her child
in the park and wailing a matrimo
nial plaint.
Flo and Ollie Walters are a clever
pair a contrast in types, too. One
is a dainty, soft-spoken, charming
lass, who dances prettily and grace
fully." The other is a nparkling hoy
den, with a wide-mouthed smile and
a dance devil lives in her feet. Their
buzzy-buzz bee song is their best.
They became great fax-orites yester
day with nonsense and carryings-on.
Ben and Hazel Mann strike up a
flirtation on the stage. Hazel is un
used to city ways and Ben appoints
himself to teach her. In the process
they sing and step and have a great
deal of just plain foolishness which
provides laughter.
The two Eugene brothers are serio
comic gymnasts, who whirl and leap
along new aerial paths.
The Pickfords not Mary nor Lottie
nor Jack, but maybe some kin to 'em
are a pair of good comedy jugglers
with comedy acrobatic additions, who
open the bill.
P. S. There is no show on Wednes

Hippodrome.
FIRST you hear an airy, fairy voice
singing in the distance and, as it
approaches the wings, and the spot
light Is turned on the stage you antic
ipate a dainty little singer. Then the
voice is upon you and you discover
that it belongs to a burly "rube."
This is just one of the stunts that
makes the Halley and Howard act at
the Hippodrome the first half of the
week, so popular. The pair of singers
have a clever encore, one of the
youths coming down into the audi
ence to finish up his farewell with
the proper effect.

is rather inclined to regret that the

as the two vocalists who make up

grand opera. Alice Nelson, who styles
herself "the advertiser," furnishes
song selections. She has a modest
partner, apparently plucked from the
audience, who creates a sensation with

Campaign In Portland to Be Com
menced Wednesday Night.
A campaign to increase the mem
bership of the Portland Y. M. C. A. to
5000 will be inaugurated at a com
plimentary dinner to "boosters" to be
given at 6:15 o'clock Wednesday night
in the auditorium of the "Y," when
the plans of the special committee
in charge will be unfolded. The as
sociation here Is now one of the larg
est in the country, but H. W. Stone,
general secretary, his staff of assist
ants and the active members are de
termined to make it even larger.
Leslie Cranbourne, secretary in
charge of the membership work, an
nounces that complimentary tickets
to the dinner may be had by "boost
ers" who desire to be present and get
into the game early, if they will but
make themselves known to him at
once. The campaign, he declared, will
last six weeks and its slogan will be
"Watch the Portland Y. M. C. A. mem
bership go to 5000." The service de
partment is to have special direction
of the work to be undertaken.

IF YOU have a liking for English
comedy you will like "Hobson's
Choice," which is an English treat
ment of the idea expressed in the
Scotch play "Bunty Pulls the Strings."
Bunty, in this instance, is not the
Scotch lass who so cleverly pulled
her strings that she brought chaos
out of confusion, a husband for her
eelf and peace to the household, but
Maggie, an English spinster, is quite
as resourceful and pulls some strings
herself, arriving at matrimonial con
tentment, with peace and prosperity
in her wake. "Hobson's Choice" has
long come to mean that all choice
has been made and Hobson can take
what is left. Hobson has no choice. He
has only the alternative of doing as
he is bid. Hobson in the instance of
the Baker play does Just that. He is
an old Lancashire boot shop keeper,
with three daughters and a thirst.
His favorite indoor amusement is
arguing with his progeny and- rush
ing out In a tantrum to look upon
the ale when it foameth, at a nearby
tavern. His oldest daughter is a
spinster, and she has managed the
shop ably for years. Hobson in a
temper at the vanities and idleness
of his two younger daughters, threat
ens to find husbands for them. Mag
gie wants to be in on the husband
apportioning. Her father disposes of
her case by telling her he needs her
in the shop and that no man wants
her for a wife. i
Maggie casts about in self-justif i-'
cation and proposes to Willie Mossop,
head shoemaker in her father's estab
lishment, a lout whose only claim to
attention is that he can make excel
lent boots. Against his will. Maggie
drags him to the altar and then sets
him up as master of his own boot
shop in a cellar. At nights Maggie
teaches her husbnd and soon she out
wits her faWier and makes it possible
for her sisters to marry. Finally when
her father is ill and needs her, Mag
gie and her husband return home and
Willie Mossop. now a man of affairs,
takes old man Hobson in as his
partner.
Not a heavyweight play by any
means, and all of it in Cockney Eng
lish. But it is amusing and the por
trayal of the various types is good.
Verna Felton in a typically small
town English girl outward semblance,
goes even deeper and makes the very
bouI of the matter-of-fact business
like Maggie slay in Jthe role.
Miss Felton's costuming of Maggie
is a joy. I adored her earrings and
bangs and her flat, toneless voice,
and the way she folded her arms and
looked into space when everybody
talked at her. Her wedding dress
was a riot, and, mind you, it wasn't
a caricature. It was exactly the
white embroidery monstrosity that
Maggie would have worn.
David Herblin's Willie Mossop was
Maggie's companion piece in comedy.
His air of complete detachment at
times and his shrinking attitude when
suddenly spoken to. his acute stu
pidity about everything but shoes and
his very real 'alarm tempered with
fear of giving Maggie offense when
Maggie insisted on marrying him,
were so splendidly simulated as to set
everybody laughing at his every word
or bit of business. Willie's costum
ing, too, was a thing of beauty, al
ways with a hat too small and a coat
too large, quite as Willie Mossop him
self would have purchased.
Those two unusually lovely young
actresses. Geraldlne Dare and Mayo
Met hot, were Maggie's spoiled, chat
tering sisteru. George R. Taylor
gave a quaint, whimsical flavor to
old Hobson's role, keeping always in
the part even to fine moments of pan
tomime. A good comedy bit was Irving Ken
nedy's old shoe cobbler, and a half
dozen other odds and ends of types
were contributed nicely.

Lyric.
A WAR that
languishing
that- in stopped by the
g glances of the senor-
itas rather than by bullets holds the
boards at the Lyric this week. In
"Sherman Was Right" the Lyric cast
not only proves the famous saying
of the famous general, but goes fur
ther and proves the superior bene
fits of peace.
Manuel Garcia (Will Rader) has
just about established himself as die
tator of an island republic when two
American gun-runners (Ben T. Dillon
and Al Franks) disturb his calm by
smuggling arms into the country
The Americans are due for an execu
tion when the commander or an
American warship (Carlton Chase)
and an American drummer (Clarence
Wurdig) save the day. The attrac
lions of the American consul's daugh
ter (Bille Bingham) and Juanita Gar
cia (Olive Finney) play a big part in
the excitement.
Virginia Kennedy, revealed in
rose-wreathed phonograph, sings
surprising song in duet with Carlton
Chase in his number "My Gramo
phone Girl." T Love You Just the
Same, Sweet Adeline," is sung by
Olive Finney in her usual fine voice,
and Billie Bingham sings "Every
body's Happy Now," a timely cheer
ful ditty. Will Rader has an ex
cellent song. "Lily of Laguna," and
Clarence Wurdig sings "I've Got My
Captain Working for Me Now."
New costumes enhance the charms
of the chorus in "Sherman Was
Right." In the opening song, "By the
Rio Grande," their splendid chora
work makes a decided hit. Two mem
bers of the chorus, Joan Maidment
and Lillie Lytell, have comedy bits
which they handle wen.
Some of the best comedy of the
season is to be found in the scene
which greets the entrance of the
prisoners. The contrasting charac
ters of the belligerent Irishman and
the pacific Jew are alike strange to
the nature of the revolutionist gen
eral. PEACE DAY TO BE JOYOUS
