MY humble way of thinking
Sarah Padden is one of the best
dramatic actresses among the young
women of the etage, anywhere.
That takes in considerable territory,
but that's exactly my opinion of Sarah
J Fadden as a dramatic actress. On
the contrary, to my humble way of
looking at it, Miss Padden is not a
comedienne at ail, and any one of two
dozen young women of the stage
could play just as well, and some of
them even better, the role she plays
in her new sketch, "Betty Behave."
Possibly Miss Padden nenses that her
forte is dramatic pieces and for that
reason she is presenting her splendid
playlet of last season, "The Eternal
Barrier," immediately following her
enactment of "Betty. Behave."
The playing of the two roles so dis
tinctly at variance proves Miss ran

den's remarkable resourcefulness and
that technically she is a superior art
ist. But in the farce, "Betty Benave.
one feels she is acting on the surface.
There is an artificial quality in her i
laughter, and her constant kicking up :
her heels at life, an unnaturalness
that drives home the thought that
she is Betty only from the teeth out,
and that in her heart she is ever the
sodden genius of "The Clod," or the
tremendous dramatic figure in "The
Eternal Barrier." However, the pres
entation of both peices. which proce
dure has been followed only here and
in Winnipeg, permits Miss Padden's
admirers to contrast and compare her
work in totally dissimilar roles. In
"Betty Behave" she is a Charlotte
Oreenwoodish sort of wife, poking
fun' at her effeminate husband and up
in arms if anyone else laughs at him.
She steps in where angels fear to
tread, between a quarrelling married
pair in order to reconcile them, and
as her portion receives criticism and
ungratefulness from the pair and al
most breaks tip her own home when
her own husband fails to comprehend
her great idea. An adequate company
supports Miss Padden.
In her second offering she appears
as a girl who has come to sue for
forgiveness of the parents and sister
of the man she has married and who
has been killed in battle. She
brings them the croix de guerre he
won on the battlefield, and while
she awaits their arrival, her mind
pictures their reception of her. It
is a role finely adapted to Miss
Padden's dramatic moods, and
opportunity is afforded for her
splendid emotional powers. She
achieved a triumph in the dramatic
fervor, the quiet tense pathos, the
actual humanity in her picturing. The
applause was thrilling to hear, and
all over the audience wet eyes paid
tribute to the fine sentiment in the
play and the genuineness of Miss Pad
den s acting.
Billic Shaw is a versatile dancer
who can Jazz a symphony or make a
classic out of rag time. She- is ex
ceedingly gifted in grace and poetic
motion. Every step is an exquisite
verse of one sort or another. Miss
Billie has two dancing lads with her.
Jim and Jack she calls them, and they
step in when she steps out. and on
one or several occasions step with
her. The scenic equipment of Miss
Billie's dance drama is worth a para
graph, and JintV saxaphoning is a
moment musical.' Biilie's most novel
number adheres again to the tradi
tion that anything on the stage, to
be interesting, must have a bedroom
scene in it. Billie. serenated by her
"gentleman friend," hops out of bed
and shimmies in her nightie.

BT LEONE CASS BAER.
EWLNG to the path laid out by
that orchestra director who,
when In doubt about the reception'of
his programme, always added "Dixie."
Walter Gilbert has added his peren
nial, "The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine," to this season's list. Not that
Walter Gilbert had any doubt about
the reception of any play he chose
to put on, but because he has no
doubt about the popularity of "The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine." Since
the late John Fox wrote the pretty
romance of the sad little maid of the
Virginia mountains, and her north
erner, and Eugene Walter put the
story into play form, it has been
stand-by and dependable of the
theater.
Mr. Walter's wife Charlotte Walker
was the first June Portland saw in
the play, and Isabel Lowe was the
next. After that the piece was re
leased for stock and the Baker Play
ers put it on with Frances M,cHenry
as June. Next Ruth Gates was the
picturesque June and being a south
erner the drawling speech of the
southlands came, easy to Miss Gates.
She played the role in a second sea
son and last year Olive Templeton
added her Interpretation of the part
to the gallery. Now It is Verna
Felton whose picture of June has
come to hang with the others in the
hall of memories at the Baker.
That this is announced as the hail
and farewell presentation of "The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine" is one
of those assertions that oniv time
and Mr. Gilbert can prove. In all
probability this time next season
"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" will
be farewelling again, like Harry
Lauder. "The Bird of Paradise" and
Ben Hu".
The story is of sympathetic and
forceful quality, a dramatic develop
ment of the life of an untutored
primitive maid of the mountains,
whose relatives are all part and
parcel of a bitter feud. The drawings
of the characters of the mountain
eers is accurate and the psychology
of feudlsm is graphically told by
John Fox, who knew the southern
mountain folk well. The story is no
longer new and needs no new
analysis. , nor even a re-telling.
It is given a beautiful setting for its
enactment on the Baker stage. Huge
real pines, whose fragrance steals
across the footlights, stand like sen
tinels in the foreground. Scrubby
foliage, waving grass and bright wind
flowers, the blossoms that spring up
where women's tears have fallen,
make the picture very real.
Smaller pine trees in the back
ground keep up the allure of dis
tance, and nature meets art when the
real green pines blend into a painted
background of blue stky and the pur
pang haze of distant hilK This
the first picture and here occurs th
meeting of June and the northerner
John Hale, the young engineer, and
their romance begins.
Picture two is a bit of clearing in
front of Hale'a cabin, where he has
installed Old Hon, a mountain woman
to chaperon June while she goes to
school. The pine trees sing and sway
a bit of a very real road winds past
and twigs and moss are under foot.
The third picture is inside June'
father's cabin, and the last picture
takes us again to the foot of'th
big, 'lonesome pine tree, with a real
istlc sunrise creeping In gorgeous
colors over the hills. The playing Is
admirable.
Verna Felton's June gives a vital
and colorful study of June, and Em
manuel Turner is manly as Hale, i
thankless role,, fori it is not a sym
pathetic one. An orchestral arrange
ment. in which "The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" is played at each
rise and fall of the curtain, adds ar
tistic values.

REDEMPTION VIEWS GIVEN
Plain, Simple Religion of Love
Ought to Be Presented by
Leaders, Is Assertion.
"Modern Christianity is a dismal
failure; the cnurch of today is hope
lessly divided and unable to provide
an adequate religion to meet the re
quirements of the present chaotic con
ditions prevailing throughout the
world because of a failure to under
stand and properly present the doc
trine of blood atonement, declared
Rev. R. H. Sawyer, pastor of the East
Side Christian church, in his sermon
last night. The minister's text was
from Eph. 1:7: "In whom we have
redemption through his blood."
He said in part: "There is perhaps
no subject taught in all the 'Scrip
tures so often misunderstood and ma
ligned as the subject of redemption
through the shedding of blood.
"Because of the failure of the
church properly to present this key
note In the gospel of love it is today
in a helpless, hopeless condition of
confusion. Men have evolved beauti
ful doctrines and pleasing philoso
phies, leaving out all mention of the
shedding of blood for the redemption
of the life of nations and men. and
these newer and more pleasing reli
gions are much in favor today.

"This would seem to be impossible
in the light of the plain statement

SPIRITISM DECLARED FALSE
Now Is High Time to Tear Away
Angelic Mask, Says Preacher.
"Now is high time for the angelic
mask to be torn from the face of
spiritism, the masterpiece of the devil,
that men may know that, although
the devil is transformed into an angel
of light, he is still the enemy of our
souls, and through these deceptions
are striving to capture us." declared
Evangelist L. K. Dickson, who spoke
to a large audience In Christensen's
hall last night on the subject. "Can
the Dead Communicate With Us?" He
said in part:
"The Satanic origin of the 'never
dying soul' theory may be more plain
ly seen when we notice carefully that
God's purpose in sending Jesus Christ
into the world was that he might
give to man that which he did not
possess naturally, namely, unending
life. Christ said, 'I am corae that
they might have life, and that they
might have, it more abundantly.'
Spiritism says, as well as much of the
popular theology of the present day,
'Man has this life naturally and he
needs no Savior, for God is man and
man is God. -
"Spiritism is opposed to Christian
ity and reconciliation between them
is impossble because the teachngs of
one are destructive of those of the
other, for if one is true the other is
false. It is Inconceivable to me how
some eminent divines can clasp hands
with spiritism in its false claims."

Lyric.
THE LYRIC patrons this week are
treated to a highly amusing farce,
entitled "Family Affairs," in which
Ben Dillon and Al Franks appear in
their accustomed roles. The burden
of the plot, however, and in fact most
of the comedy, rests upon the shoul
ders of the rest of the company, for
Mike and Ike are kept too busy mak
ing entrances and exits to allow for
any of their scintillating dialogue.
The farce deals with a piano and a
baby, the one an intended birthday
present and the other the child of a
secret marriage. Piano and baby are
both concealed in a summer house
and the complications which ensue
furnish most of the laughs in the
piece. Ben Dillon, as a combined
book agent, piano tuner and peddler
of patent medicines, and Al Franks
as the hen-pecked husband of one
Arabella Nagg, a widow who, running
true to form, lives up to her name,
assist in keeping the comedy at rec
ord" speed; while Dorothy Raymond
in the role of a tearful wife, and Will
Rader as the football hero hold the
center of the stage. What might be
called "the crying Jag quartette," in
which Madeline Mathews does a
mournful high C to an absent moon,
wins the biggest laugh of the per
formance. As usual, Dorothy Raymond offers
the most effectively staged and the
best sung number of the piece a
croony southern song called "Swa
nee." "Oh! by Jingo, Oh! by Gee," by
Clarence Wurdig. and "The Hen and
the Cow," by Will Rader, are both
clever songs in good hands; and "You
Can't Get Lovin' Where There Ain't
Any Love," by Billie Bingham, and an
Irish solo by Carlton Chase, together
with three songs by the Rosebuds,
complete the list of musical numbers.

Hippodrome.
ERE is - music and music, but
when it's played by an orchestra
and directed by about ten different
composers in the space of perhaps
ten minutes it's unusual music.
At the Hippodrome this week there
is a curious act that consists solely
of Caesar Rivoli, styled "the man of
a thousand roles. After he has
played six parts in a one-act comedy
entitled "Scandal in a Restaurant,
in which he makes lightning costume
changes and carries out the illusion
of a room full of people by simply
placing a screen between the audi
ence and the supposed group of act
ors, he steps down into the orchestra
pit. Here in rapid succession he
gives his own interpretations of the
characters of such famous composers
as Lizt, Suppe, Verdi, Puccini, Gounod
and others, finally presenting last of
all, Sousa. To carry out the illusion
the orchestra furnishes selections
from each of the composers and the
actor mimics their personalities and
characteristics in directing the musi
cians. "The Woman of a Thousand Se
crets," is the title of a playlet, star
ring Ermyl Barton as a fortune teller.
The stage setting shows the interior
of the waiting room of the mystery
woman and to one side is her den,
wherein a tragedy is faked In order
to cure the "mystic" of. her mania.
As it is purely melodrama In an ex
aggerated form, the skit is full of
laughs.
Two good musicians are Helvey and
Brill, who perform on piano, saxa
phone and cornet. Syncopation and
songs might be termed their special
ty. Fisher and Evarts offer "Differ
ent Things" and seem to pick on for
eign countries as a source of material.
They open up with a Japanese song,
then one of the pair brings in a "wee
bit o' Scotch" and lo and behold, Har

Reed Holds Mental Tests.
"Mental Tests Taken While You
Wait," is a placard the Reed college
psychological department is thinking
of hanging outside its door. After
administering tests to over 250 Reed
students, the department has been
kept busy answering inquiries from
the outside aad in giving tests under
the direction of psychology major and
Dr. Helen Clark, head of the depart
ment. The latest request for a
mental test comes from a motorman
in the employ of the Portland Street
Railway company, who wrote to Dr.
Clark and made an appointment for a
mental "quiz."
present the plain, simple religion of
love as contained, in the Scriptures of
both the old testament and the new.
"One 0 the most erroneous of all
human interpretations is that which
presents God as angry with man. and
that he was reconciled through the
death of Christ. This theory is illus
trated by the story of the helpless
prisoner, whose death is demanded to
appease the wrath of a vengeance
wreaking king.
"The king's son, touched by the piti
ful condition of the condemned, comes
bravely forward and gives his life for
the prisoner: The blood of the king's
son satisfies the demand of the blood
thirsty father and the prisoner is for
given. And humanity laughs or shud
ders, according to the temperament
of the Individual, but all refuse to,
believe.
Theory la rilicinrd
"Such a theory is contrary to the
very nature of God, and to the teach
ings of the Scriptures. God was not
angry with man it was man who was
angry with his God. 'There was no
necessity for reconciling God, for 'God
so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son."
"Man had turned away from his
maker, wandering away in willful dis
obedience into a life of sip and shame.
It was necessary to reconcile man to
cause him to know, and to accept the
love of the father who had never
turned away from him. That Christ
was sent, not to reconcile God, but
to reconcile man to God, is very plain
ly taught by the apostle: 'All things
are of God, who hath reconciled us to
himself by Jesus Christ.'
'To talk about reconciling God. sat
isfying God's anger, is but to follow
in the footsteps of the savage heathen
who burns sacrifices, beats and tears
his own flesh, and sheds the blood of
beast and human in order that he
may appease the wrath of a vengeful
god who seeks to destroy him.
The blood or Jesus Christ was
shed, not to pay some mysterious
debt nor to satisfy the anger of an
awful destroyer, but to overwhelm
men with a knowlegde of the unfail
ing power of love, and attach them to
the life divine

The romantic story of how the

He said: "partakers -of the divine

second verse of the 22d chapter of
Revelation: "And the leaves of the

"The health message of the Bible,"
said Dr. Griffis, "demands the recog

Christian, the laws of hygiene are the

that this ma,n of God would do some
thing for them.
"The man himself w'as earnest and j
has a splendid personality, it was
unique nieeting.
"It certainly was remarkable to see
a throng of sick about an Lpiscopal
church, and I hope that not only the
Episcopal church, but other churches
will accommodate themselves to this
great human necessity."
The speaker was Dr. A. A. Morrison,
rector of Trinity Episcopal church, in
his sermon there yesterday morning.
He added that there is as urgent a
need in the world today to cure souls
as in the old days when Jesus and
his disciples went about healinj by
prayer and doing good.
JUDGMENT TO OVERTAKE ALL
Condemnation of Evil Systems I
Brought by Liberty.
"Coming to Judgment" was the
subject of Rev. George H. Bennett of
the Patton Methodist church yester
day morning.
"Our call to judgment before God
sometime should not cause surprise,
nor raise a doubt," he said. "His
judgment reads the records of con
science and memory for or against us
daily. We pass judgments of dislike
or sympathy, admiration, pity or con
tempt upon those we meet. If the
cats and dogs, the birds and horses
could tell us, their judgments often
would be anything but complimentary.
"The Oregon pioneer passed judg
ment on the 'Willamette valley, so
the wilderness became a land flowing
with- milk and honey. A wonderful
analogy runs through affairs human
and divine. Development in the trend
of vice, slavery and degradation
rather than virtue, liberty and prog-

ress brought judgment of condemna
tion on the tyrants and evil systems
of antiquity. Hapsburg. Hohenzol
!ern, czar and sultan have come to
judgment and the dawn of liberty
grows brighter. We have stood alone
against the world for tho lesser Mon
noe doctrine in defense of America.
Now we should stand with the world
for the league of nations, the greater
Monroe doctrine, for the defense of
all nations and civilization. Politi
cians who defeat it will urely come
to judgment and condemnation."
I'tRU RELIGION HELD NEED
Dr. Mansfield Says Reforms Oc
cupy Too Much Time.
At the First Methodist church yes
terday morning the subject of Dr.
Stansfield's sermon was "God Our
Shield," taking as his text Genesis
xv:l: "I am thy shield and thine ex
ceeding great reward." Dr. Stans
field said it has been charged recent
ly that the church is preaching al
most everything but religion. Sociol
ogy, industrial betterment, temper
ance, moral reforms, national and In
ternational ethics, etc., but pure re
ligion, the soul's vital and conscious
relation to God has been little
stressed.
'Personally I believe that the great
moral questions of sociology, tem
perance and all moral reforms are. or
may be, a finest fruitage and expres
sion of true religion, and are right
and wholesome and good, but In the
strictest sense they are not religion.
they are an expression of religion,
said Dr. Stansfield.
"True religion is the conscious, per
sonal experience 'of God. What God
is in divine revelation he is 'to' and
for' man. How much more God is
than the Bible reveals, we may not
now know, but all that God is, as re
vealed in the scriptures, he is to and
for man.
"God is 'light," but it is only when
the soul ran say "the Uord is my
light and my salvation' that you have
the best of religion. So in the text
this morning. 'I am thy shield,' God
meets man's deepest need, and is life's
fullest security and satisfaction."
