NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
I
Heilig. j
BY LEONE CASS BAKU.
T SEEMS, If memory is to be re
lied upon, that years and ve&rs
ago there was a school of drama of
a nature similar to "The Master
Thief," which opened last night at the
Heilig. It is interesting, therefore, for
present-day theater-goers to have an
opportunity to see frank melodrama,
the type of play our ancestors en
joyed. Regarded from this historical view
point there is quite a bit to be said
for the production. The question re
mains, however, is the theater-going
public particularly interested in his
tory as such? "The Master Thief" is
a fairly entertaining melodrama and
it was well received by an audience
made up for the most part of motion
picture fans who wanted to see beau
tiful Beverly Bayne and Francis X:
Bushman in person. The undeniable
beauty of Miss Bayne and the good
looks of her husband, Mr. Bushman,
and their acting interest, does not
mitigate the fact that their play is
totally without esthetic value, lack
ing in ingenuous touches and highly
illogical. Whatever popularity it may
be destined to command is in' the final
analysis due to the personal eqfuation
entered in the appearance of Miss
Bayne and Mr. Bushman.
. Primarily the story has to do with
a deep-laid and .far-reaching scheme
of vengeance wreaked on a dozen men
By the son or one man who was
ruined financially and killed himself
IS years before the play opens. The
audience knows that the son Is "Pay
master." who has taken his toll of
the other men and now is trailing

Hippodrome.
ORE than usual interest centers
the appearance of Margaret
Fallenius, headliner on the current
bill at the Hippodrome, Inasmuch as
Miss Fallenius Is a Portland girl. She
is the only daughter of Mrs. Edith
Fallenius, who is recognized as one of
the finest pipe organists on the Pa
cific coast and is particularly well
known in Portland. For nine years
Mrs. Fallenius was organist at the
Christian Science church and for 13
years was organist at the Unitarian
church and also played at Trinity.
She and her daughter Margaret left
three years ago for Palo Alto, where
Mrs. Fallenius is still active in mu
sical circles as organist and. choir
director and teacher.
Martraret attended private schools
In Portland and Miss Markers school
in California, specializing In music.
She studied with Henry L. Bettman
and later went east to take up a stage
career. She has appeared in proauc-
tions in the east and in vaudeville.
In her present offering she is the
principal member of "The Cameos."
an artistic and thoroughly charming
offering. Miss Fallenius plays the
violin and has wizard fingers. Her
bewitching playing held the audience
enraptured. Her biggest and most pre
tentious solo Is Hubaya "Hejrekati,"
which was a signal triumph and a
pleasant and memorable event. Miss
Fallenius has an excellent singing
voice, too, and Is heard with the other
members of the Cameo group in songs
written especially for them.
Further interest attaches to this
young Portlander"s work in that she
produced the act and is its director
and manager. She is arranging to go
into the producing end of the theat
rical field next year, and will nave
a series of acts on the road, directing
and staging them herself.
The present act embraces a novel
Idea and shows the - five girls in
snowy white relief against a coral
pink satin background, quite as cam
eos come to life. They wear white
satin colonial effect costumes and
powdered wigs. The charming so
prano voice of Beatrice Bradner adds
interest. For the second half of the
act the girls change to colorful attire,
with the exception of Miss Fallenius,
who is so busy playing her violin
that she retains her picturesque white
satin and frills. No jazz is Introduced,
but certain melodious popular airs
are brought out in song and by Miss
Fallenius' violin in the last act, which
takes on the pictorial qualities of a
Corot painting, with a beautiful for
est background.
Miss Fallenius is the niece of Mrs
William Thrift' Pangle and a niece
also of Mrs. Kate Schulze. the latter
of whom is well known hero and who
now lives in Palo Alto. During her
brief stay in Portland Miss Fallenius
will be the recipient of social, at
tentions and will remalnover Sunday
as a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Pangle.

Sunday night.
"We simply had to yield to the in
sistent demands of the women," eald
P. Hetherton. assistant secretary and
member of the Pershing committee.
-and permit them to attend the ban
quet. At first it was decided by the
committee to limit banquet seats to
men. Within the past few days, how
ever, there had been so many expres
sions of disappointment over this rul
ing that It has been decided to with
draw it so the women may attend
thi feature of the general's visit to
Portland, after all."
Many registrations for the banquet
were booked at the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday and Mr. Hetherton
said last night that only a few remain.
The banquet will be given promptly

afternoon ' he will speak to service
men only, at his own request, in the
armory. No civilians, either men or
women, will be permitted at thi
meeting, on account of lack of room,
General Pershing will have head
quarters at the Multnomah hotel
while in the city.
At 8:15 o'clock Sunday night the
general will speak in the public audi
torium, the doors of which will be
open to the public at 5:30 o'clock.
There will be no reserved seats In
the main body of the auditorium, the
committee having decided to make of
it a first-come, first-served affair.
On the platform will be reserved seats
for members of the general's staff
and representatives of various civic
and military organizations, in addi
tion to those who attend the Cham
ber of commerce banquet.
There will be no elaborate parade
but a guard of honor such as will
befit the rank of General Pershing
has been arranged and all due mill
tary honors will be paid the general

educated in the public schools of that
state and at Cornell college. Mount

187S, locating in Jackson county.
where he was married to Miss Annie

In the late '90s he went north in I
the Klondike rush, going over the
White Pass route with the early
movement to Skagway, and later re
turned to the Puget sound region and
engaged In contracting. He suffered I
a stroke of paralysis soon after com
ing back from Alaska, from the ef
fects of which he never fully recov

"Green's troops were called the

"tt seems Bertanl made a mistake in
disarming these troops," he added,
"because Carranza called him to ac

A congressional party, investigat
ing government shipbuilding on the
coast, passed through Portland two
months ago, but spent only two days
in this city. It was rumored at the

to be contemplating a grand jury in
vestigation for several Puget sound
shipbuilders.
