A DRAMA revolving around a mat

theater for four days beginning to
morrow, with Mildred. Harris Chap
lin as the star. This is an adapta
tion by Waldemar Young of Frank
Stayton's play of the same name with
Joseph W. Henneberry acting in the
capacity of director. The etory may
be called an expose of married life
and its problems and presents a dra
matic comparison of the sexes in a
romance of decided appeal. It has
long been a much mooted question as
to which eex Is superior to the other.
Mr. Stayton's play attempts to give
an answer.
Allsa Randall is too eager for af
fection, with the result that her hus
band tires of playing the lover con
tinuously throughout the day. Then
an idea strikes her to keep him
guessing by appearing indifferent.
And the love that has been offered
him gratis is consequently denied,
so that his vanity is wounded. But
the scheme works not only for her
but for her dearest friend. It takes
five reels of interesting drama to in
troduce the moral. In the end the
wife confesses her scheme and hap
piness is restored. Mrs. Chaplin gives
a compelling performance of the wife
and she is ably supported by Milton
Sills, John Steppling and Mary Alden.

,fain to San Francisco In connection
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, June 17. Developments
in the democratic contest to be staged
at San Francisco week after next are
beginning to come thick and fast.
There were signs today that some of
the real "low-down" information on
what has been doing inside the se
cretive administration of Woodrow
Wilson would be coming out as the
pre-conventton struggle progresses.
For example, some of the friends of
William Gibbs "McAdoo began a quiet
campaign today to overcome the
stigma of family and administration
connections.
To some of the newspaper corre
spondents was privately offered the
information that Mr. McAdoo resigned
as secretary of the treasury and di
rector-general of railroads because
of a quarrel with President Wilson
over the trip to Europe.
Mr. McAdoo, It was said, was op
posed to having his daddy-in-law go
to Europe to patch up a peace treaty,
He argued with the president, his
friends say, that to undertake such
a task would subject him to severe
criticism, and would be sure to re
sult in a bad mess, upsetting Amer
ica's international relations and
causing a domestic upheaval which
would throw the democratic party
headlong out of power.
No one here believes this story, but
all appear to recognize it as clever
propaganda to stem the tide of re
sentment that is piling higher and
higher against the present national
administration. Washington never
believed that Mr. McAdoo quit for any
other reason than that he was soon
to face another wage demand from
the railroad brotherhoods, and real
ized that his handling of the railroad
labor problem had been such that ha
would probably have a new demand
shoved in his face every 30 days.
Light Hits White House.
Some light has been filtering
through from the White House in the
last day or two on the administration
plans for San Francisco, and this is
the ticket which it is understood Mr.
Wilson will try to dictate to the con
vention: For president. William G.
McAdoo; for vice-president. Victor
Murdock of Kansas. Murdock is un
derstood to have been the White
House choice as McAdoo's running
mate for some time, but the definite
decision to force his nomination was
said to have been made only after the
republican convention failed to nomi
nate Governor Allen of Kansas for
either president or vice-president.
Murdock served in congress as an
insurgent republican, then became a
bull mooser and in 1916 declared for
Mr. Wilson for president. His re
ward came quickly in the appoint
ment to the federal trade commission,
of which he is now chairman. His
nomination is planned in the hope
that it will appeal to the west. This
information comes from a prominent
democrat who is close to the White
House, and especially intimate with
Secretary Tumulty.
Johnson Starts West.
Hiram Johnson left the citv this
aftrnoon for Chicago, on his way
to California, without making any
statement on pplitics. It is under
stood that he even ignored the tele
gram sent him by W. P. Adams of
Portland, Or., asking him to be an
independent candidate for president.
At any rate, friends "said he had not
answered it. It was regarded as cer
tain that there will be a third party.
William Randolph Hearst has gone
so far with the advocacy of the new
movement that he dare not turn back,
it is pointed out. His grouch against
the republican party is that it de-

DESPITE competition in dozens of
local amusement places and the

seekers, the audience was a good

and represents studied plans and
coaching. Its general excellence and
cohesion of subject attest to both the
talent and response of the active par
ticipants and the training of the ones
in charge. The cause is a most worthy
one being the benefit fund for dis
abled and injured soldiers. All the
players were overseas men and in
the first half of the programme when
they were all gathered together as
minstrels the scene was most inspira
tional.' Before a realistic scene in an
American camp just to th rear of the
advance lines, a scene painted by Matt

in tne center Frank Hennesey as the
Captain Interlocutor, noticing the
absence of two of his men, called for
a search to be made. - A biz milttarv
policeman caused amusement by drag
ging two more ebon end-men, desert
ers, down the aisle and up onto the
stage. These Were Billy Foy and
Bill Bryan, who wrote, directed and
arranged the entertainment and
coached the players. The first half
of the show was made up of a minstrel
musical extravaganza In which solo
ists were featured with the entire
company coming in on the choruses.
The soloists were Messrs. Wallin,
Walker, Brennan, Ryan, Bryan,
Scheffel and Foy. Each soloist
executed original steps and bits of
clever by play which added to the
offering.
A splendid orchestra, accenting

singers, was Jerry Stone's Doughboy

Hippodrome.
A SENSATIONAL turn tops the new
A bill at the Hippodrome in the
novelty sponsored by the six Tasman-
ian Girls. Each is a beuatiful speci
men of athletic wholesome woman
hood, and each is skilled n physical
culture. In groups of twos, trios and
on some accasions the entire group,
participate in marvelous feats of
strength and artistic balancing. There
is a cunning wee baby girl among
them who is remarkably talented and
her clever tricks afford much joy.
The Tasmanian Girls vary their ath
letic art with demonstrations on the
swinging bars and an aerial enter
tainment that fairly startles They
work easily and rapidly and their
beautiful costumes in striking color
combinations enhance the act.
Dorothy Roye is an attractive maid
who sings a repertoire of song studies
that appeal. She has a gift for song
characterization, which added to her
charm of personality appeals strongly.
Edna May Foster is a keen girl
and has two people' in her trio who
are clever enough to also have their
names on the programme. One is a
big chap who garners in a heap of
laughs when a button comes off, and
the responsibility of holding onto his
trousers keeps his hands busy. He
goes on with his songs, however, and
the audience is reduced to hysterics at
his maneuvers. Edna May is cute
and sings and chats prettily. A cli
max of fun" is afforded in a surprise
finish, when a wife rushes out of the
audience and drags the prospective
actor away from the vampire teacher
Edna.
Robert H. Bertram, and Alice M,
May have a brilliant little sketch
called "The Dear Brute." which holds
delightful comedy and is excellently
enacted. Mr. Bertram plays the role
of an actor husband; a clever girl,
Cecilia Rosewood plays his wife, an
actress, and Miss May Is a quaint
type from Greenwich village. The
satire is most amusing and the lines
claim constant attention.
Lester Raymond company are a
clever twain who open the bill with
a variety act emphasized by versa
tility, agility and ability. They amuse
and entertain.
The photoplay features Frank

Washington Commissioner Opposes
Proposed Changes Advocated
in, Oregon Laws.
Time of the Central Labor council
last night was largely devoted to
hearing discussion of industrial com
pensation laws of Oregon and Wash
ington. Lee Roy Keeley proposed 26
amendments of the Oregon laws and
occupied an hour of the session with
presentation of the changes he advo
cated.' H. L. Hughes, member of the
industrial insurance commission of
the state of Washington, told of the
progress that has been made in the
neighboring state in securing bene
fits for the victims of industrial ac
cidents. Commissioner Hughes de
clared that the industrial insurance
law of Washington cut off the am
bulance-chasing lawyers and casualty
insurance companies from a fat line
of business and caused these two in
terests to oppose adoption of equally
effective, laws in other states.
Mr. Hughes would not agree with
the recommendation of Mr. Keeley
that all cases of injury that could
appeal for damages to the admiralty
courts be excluded from benefits un
der state compensation. He said that
in Washington the longshoremen
were anxious to come under the state
law after some bitter experience in
seeking judgments in federal courts.
"There lsi the closest co-operation
of the employers in the state of
Washington in efforts to prevent ac
cidents by adoption of safety meth
ods,' "said Mr. Hughes, "and in the
interests of accident prevention they
have gone farther than any laws have
said they must go. Through this in
terest in avoiding accidents they
provided a fund of J350.000 for carry
ing forward safety work in the state.
We are striving to so far reduce pre
ventable accidents that we shall
make a record that will prove con
clusively that with the adoption of
every possible safety appliance, pro
tecting workmen against the dangers
of their tasks as far as is humanly
possible, the percentage of loss of
life and limb can be very greatly
minimized."

In the public auditorium last night
Mr. McCormack appeared In concert
under direction of. Steers & Coman,
and was greeted by an audience that
was estimated by the auditorium of
ficials to number about 5000. The
overflow audience was accommodated
along the sides of the building and
also upon the stage.
Mr. McCormack sang to a sea of
faces. He was in better voice than
on the last occasion of his concert
in this city, when his voice was lust
a little bit tired and worn, due prob
ably to the hard singing he did in
an unusually busy concert season.
Last night McCormack s best sung
aria, where his tone had silvery, mel
lifluous ring and "sugary" delivery,
was his rendition of the stately Han
del number, "Sacred Rapture," from
"Solomon." The music just suits Mc
Cormack's style of singing and lies a
good deal in the middle register,
where his voice is the most luscious.
The applause was enthusiastic, the
extra number being "Largo" (Handel).
"Go Not Happy Day" was sung with
charming sentiment and with the
soft, shining high falsetto note at
the end, where McCormack is skillful
and clever. "L'Alba Separa" was sung
in Italian, and is a true McCormack
song. A cordial recall was demanded,
and just as the accompanist, Edwin
Schneider, began to play the opening
bars of "Dear Old Pal" the audience
recognized what was coming and. a
roar lof applause was heard such Is

Pronouncement Is Awaited.
Progressive republicans are await
ing this pronouncement with keen
anticipation because It is believed
that the candidate : will say some
thing to contute tne charges by a
few democrats that he is a hard
boiled reactionary. Senator Hard
ing was interested, to hear of the at
tack., made by -Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel ' for . the anti-saloon league
upon the candidacy of Governor Cox,
of his own state, but declined to make
any serious comment on it.
The Wheeler statement, which was
accompanied by a quotation from Mr.
Bryan, saying -that "Governor Cox'
record is as malodorous as Governor
Edwards' and extends for a longer
period." emphasized the belief which
prevailed here today that the chances
for a spilt in the democratic conven
tion are greater on the prohibition
question than they are on the treaty.
That does not mean, however, that
the- probability of a serious breach
over the treaty plank has vanished.
On the contrary, it is a very lively
subject of controversy, and, while
in comparison with the beer and light
wine' issue it seems more prominent,
the treaty plank and President Wil
son's stubborn determination to write
it is still an important factor affect
ing the San Francisco convention.
