INZERILLO'S VOICE WINS 'Week of Song Declared to Have Been Successful Financially and Artistically. "We are not yet ready to announce our plans for next year's grand opera aeason. with regard to an arrange ment with the San Carlo Grand Opera company. But our minds are maae up that we shall have performances of grand opera by some company," said Oliver U. Young, manager of the Klwyn music bureau, tnis city, yes terday. "Relations between Mr. Gallo. Im presario of the fc'an Carlo company, and the Klwyn music bureau, con tinue to be on a friendly basis," con tinued lr. Young. "We do not know, however. If Mr. Gallo will have a traveling organization known as the San Carlo Grand Opera company next eason. It may be that Mr. Gallo, with his large and growing opera in terests in .New York City, may be drawing away from traveling com panies. The Elwvn music bureau management is fully satisfied with the artistic and financial success of last week's opera season at the auditorium. "There is a field, we find, for grand opera in this section, s d w e shall take care of it. It is my ultimate ambition and hope to have a grand opera company composed entirely of Americans, able and educated to sing operas In the languages in which the.e operas were written: Italian, French. Spanish or English. "We are specially pleased at the fine artistry displayed by two gues; artists of the Klwyn music bureau, and heard at the auditorium: Miss Annie Fitziu and Miss Alice Gentle. The San Carlo Grand Opera com pany left this city yesterday morning for Seattle, where they begin a short opera season tonight. One of the star artists of this company, Vincente Bal lester, baritone, was taken out of the cast of "Trovatore." suffering from a hemorrhage in one lung, but it is re ported that his condition now is im proving. Ballester's position as Count di Luna, in "Faust" was well taken by Nicola D' Amico, baritone, who only has been three months with the San Carlos. For a beginner, D' Amico promises well. He has a fresh, youth ful, splendid voice, and is a good ac tor. The new tenor. Giuseppe in xerillo. Is a real tenor star of the robusto type, like Caruso at the tat ter's best. Inzerillo has a bis; ring ing silvery voice that easily fills the huge auditorium and acts artistically. J. Ervin Mutch, recently from New York and now director of the vocal department of the Ellison-White con servatory of music, thinks that in a short time. Inzerillo will be recog nized as one of the principal tenors of the United States. NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS r OIL TRUCK RUNS AMUCK Btachlne Hits Parked Automobiles and Driver Is Jailed. Elmer Kcphart, 2S. of 343 Thirty first street North, driver of a huge Shell oil truck, played bull In the china shop last night, according to the police, who arrested him on charges of reckless driving and vio lation of the prohibition law. Ho attempted to drive the truck between a street car and two parked automobiles on North Grand avenue and struck both of the parked cars. "When police investigated, they said they found two quart bottles of moon Shine cached in the tool box of the Orpheum. BY LEONE CASS BAER. F THERE is any truth in that old admonition not to laugh too heart ily today for tomorrow we will surely cry, it is going to hold good in the instance of the Orpheum bills and next week, or the next, or maybe the next we will be handed a poor i.how. That will occasion the crying which will tread on the heels of the laugh ing we did last week and this week. Another excellent show has come to the Orpheum. Not one act but that is bright and full of entertainment. Albertina Rasch, a very fine ballet dancer of exquisite personal charm, is rightly the top-liner. She is an artist j from the crown of her bobbed sleek I little head to the trained toes that twinkle so wonderfully. Miss Rasch's dancing is so truly the poetry of motion that even the lowest-browed part of the audience sat chained in fascinated contempla tion of the lovely little girl's body weaving stories in dance. There is nothing of the acrobatic in Miss Rasch's dances. They are interpreta tive in that they convey a meaning and after that they are beautiful ani mated pictures, full of color and life vitality. One of them is "Polichinelle," a gay little fantasy, danced to the tinkling tunes in an olrSfashioned Swiss music box placed where we all could see it. Miss Rasch is the Pier-e-tte who lives on top of the box and springs to life to dartce for us with an the mechanical graces of the cymbal crashing figures. Another very lovely dance was "After the Storm." A Belascoesque storm followed by goiden sunsnine brought out the quaint peasant girl of Rusfia who danced her moods of gladness to music by Houbay. This dance had the abandon and fire and graces of a native Russian dance and was much applauded. For that mat ter every one of Miss Rasch's dances brought not scattering approval, but long sustained outbursts of applause. The Japanese fan dance from "Pup penfee" and her opening number, from "Coppeiia" completed Miss Rasch's own part of the programme. Three of her pupils, talented and graceful young girls appeared in two original dance duets and I. Nagel, violinist, gave a solo which was enhanced by the slow unfolding of the curtains to reveal a starry sky with dawn erasing the stars as the music came to an end. Tom Duray, who is constable, sher iff and chairman of committees and editor, and who is manager of the opry house when not engaged in other callings, returns .with new bits or cleverness added to his famous act "For Pity's Sake." This travesty on the old-time melodrama Is as hu morous as it was the first time we saw Tom slip off the ladder that leads to his seat In the loft where he directs the one man orchestra ana misses cues. Tom Duray Is unequalled In his rube characterizations an is par ticularly good In this role. A com pany of capables in which the attrac live and talented Irene Sarli is fea tured puts on the opry "For Pity's Sake," which decides the manager to run pictures hereafter. A capital act is that of Gertrude Moody and Mary Duncan. Gertrude has a leaning toward the classical In music and expresses her soul in operatic arias and a ballad or so while Mary frankly confines her vocal activities and her soul and her body and her inclinations to jazz. Even her clothes are Jazzy. Both the girls are stunning in ap pearance, have marked individuality and blend the classical and the Jazz so tunefully that they stopped the show. They gave two encore and could be out there yet and we'd have stayed. Burke and Betty have a mirthful pot pourrl. Burke chords on a little ukelele and sings odd verses of com edy nature, and Betty who Is easy to look at. as Ring Lardner says, plays on a cornet and a saxaphnne, not of course, simultaneously. Their vocal harmony is especially good, and Burke's dancing adds interest. Earl Hampton and saucy Dorothy Blake return with a clever and original idea, in which Miss Blake insists on sitting in a chair near the wings and watch Hampton's act. Her interruptions are mirth-provocative and Hampton sasses her back with profit. Their amicable squabble proves delightful fun.

' BY LEONE CASS BAER. AN intimate and diverting study of the ways and ends of destiny as It affected one man Is "A Tailor Made Man," in which the Baker players are appearing this week. It is a farce pure and simple and, while if never could have happened in a million years, that is of secondary concern when its humor is sure and its story entertaining. Under cover of a tailor-made camou flage accomplished when he takes the evening clothes of a patron wnose clothes he is pressing, the hero rises from his place as a tailors drudge to a power in the social and financial world. The fight he makes is earnest and the character of the ambitious young man is so engaging that the audience is with him from the start. He has enough effrontery and egotism to say unconcernedly that he does not aspire to do the things Napoleon did, but rather to do the things Na poleon left undone. The first of the four acts Is devoted mainly to starting things for the re maining three acts. We meet John Paul Bart pressing clothes and wait ing around for destiny to pounce upon htm and carry him away Into more pleasant surroundings. Destiny ar rives in the shape of a suit of gentle man's evening clothes which John Paul blandly appropriates. In these borrowed habiliments he appears uninvited at a very grand ball, pre senting an invitation which he had found in the pocket. Here he grasps every opportunity to better himself. The story develops ingenuously and the hand-selected phrases and ideas on social philosophy are quite amus ing. The second act Is taken up with the ball, where John Paul Bart be comes the beau of the party and beets a bigwig in finance who is so fired by the young man's Idas on so ciology that he engages John Paul as a secretary. The fact that John Paul's ideas on sociology are for the most part direct quotations from a book being written by a doctor who frequents the tailor shop is a matter of much amusement for the audience. At the ball John Paul is enabled to do a favor for a Mr. Jellicot, whose dress suit he has appropriated. Mr. Jellicot having borrowed another for the event. Act three is in John Taul's office and In act four he Is back In his tailor shop, but not to stay. Rather, he is collecting his belongings, in cluding the sweet little daughter of the old tailor, who he nrefer.i after navtng seen all the society belles. Selmer Jackson's gift for vital and familiar characterization is again ap parent. He invests John Paul with blandness and spirit anu a very human note of pathos and uncertainty underlying the bravado. Leona Powers plays convincingly and with refresh ing charm the role of Tanya, the tailor's daughter. A lengthy cast supports the princi pals, and it has been augmented by extra players. Lora : gers is dis tinctive In style as the hostess at the ball, and Mayo Methot looks like a million dollars In clothes and beauty as the heiress who throws herself at John Paul. William Lee gives the necessary air of stupid cunning to a highly humorous characterization he makes of Peter, a helper in the tailor shop who dislikes John Paul and whose presence later as helper to the caterer at the ball threatens exposure to John raui. r ully a dozen others contribute worthily to the play. There will h matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. ANGLO SHAEL UNITY 1 E D WORLD HDP E III WUTf JWI U vUUJlvO East Side Pulpit.

When friends of the bride and bridegroom bribed their taxi driver to take them to the police station after the wedding Saturday night, Mrs. P. B. Parks, 68S East Burnside treet. and mother of the bride, be came alarmed. To placate the police ehe followed them to the station with a huge package of ice cream and wedding cake. The bride was Miss Ruth B. Young, county nurse, and the bridegroom was Morris A. Gould. The ceremony was performed at the home of Mrs. Parks by Rev. Frank L. Wemett o the Centenary-Wilbur Methodist Church. BRAWL INVOLVES THREE A. Peacock, V. A. Peacock and Jim McCarthy Cnder Arrest. A fight, said to have started over the division of a quantity of home brew in a barn at 100 East Ninth enreet north, early yesterday, caused the arrest of three persons on charges of disorderly conduct and violation cf the prohibition law. The police were sent to the ad dress when complaint was made that a fight was in progress. A. Peacock and Jim McCarty were found engaged In a fistic brawl, while V. A. Peacock was standing by in the role of spec tator. Oldest Printer Dies. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., Feb. 0. Robert G. Thompson, 93 years old, the oldest resident at the union printers' home, oldest also in mem bership, died here today. Mr. Thomp son was born in Hew Brunswick, N. J. of the audience. He then presents a number of Im personations of great personages, be ing in full view of the audience prac tically all of the time. The most elaborate part of the act is an exhibition of magic of a spec tacular nature In which the color ful setting forms one of the objects of interest. La Follette's tricks are numerous and such as to mystify evervone. He mixes many novelties in his number. Rand and Gould have a mixture of wit and jollity with plenty of laughter-making devices which they us to full advantage. One of the pair can sing well and he does a solo or two. The other's specialty is funny faces and he makes plenty of them. They joke back and forth in easy fashion and end with a funny sad recitation. Fred and Elsie Burke, "the girl and the dancing goof," certainly know how to dance. They have a number of new steps. Into which they put plenty of life and energy. Elsie is little and graceful and keeps up her end splendidly, r red can entertain in a variety of ways. "Hearts Are Trumps" is the fea ture photoplay. It was adapted for the screen from the famous stage melodrama by Cecil Raleigh. The story is an exciting one witn an all star cast of Alice Terry, W3tr Hall, Edward Connelly. Norman Kennedy, Howard Crampton, Francelia Billing ton and others. The Cromwells have a lively turn of whirlwind Jugglery. They are girls who stage their number artistically and do all the usual stunts and some new ones as well. Denny and Louise Hurley are acrobats who show some feats of strength. Auditorium. TJIPE-ORGAN solos by Frederick W, X Goodrich, harp solos by Miss Alice Genevieve Smith, violin solos by Mrs. Macdonald and choruses sung by 2S white-gowned young women members or the Isabella choristeis rormed a fine concert at the public auditorium jesterday afternoon. The number of l aid admissions amounted to 672. The Isabella choristers, Mr. Goodrich di rector, made their debut at these con certs and won the favor of the crowd. They sang brightly and intelligently and with admirable ensemble, to the piano accompaniments of Martha Van Hoomis. For a recall, four young women stepped from the ranks of the choristers and sany from memory, with excellent, lively effect, "Sleep Kentucky Babe." Mr. Goodrich played a number of enjoyable organ solos and the Moszkowskl "Serenata" drew warm applause. Miss Smith was a favorite at her harp, and had to respond with extra numbers. She plays with splendid ability and finish. One of her most admired solos was the hymn, "Nearer, My God. -to T .ee." Mrs. Macdonald is a violinist of marked ability, and she was heard to much advantage in her solos.

"Anglo-Israel is not a new re ligion," said Mr. Sawyer. "It is God's plan of the ages, and is the one and only hope of civilization. It affords the only real solution to the per plexing problems confronting human ity today. The world looks toward the English-speaking peoples to lead tht way out of the darkness that overspreads the earth and it will not be in vain. Such is the purpose for which this mighty people have been preserved, developed and planted in the positions of advantage which they occupy today. Illuatratfoa la Given. "Hear the word of God, undoubtedly spoken to the Anglo-Saxon nations of today: '"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is , risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." "A practical illustration of the fact that God speaks of and to his peo ple today comes to the thoughtful in recent newspaper item published throughout the civilized world. It told of the offer by the American farmers and the acceptance of the offer by Herbert Hoover of enough corn to feed all the Bt.-.rving na tions of the earth. Our busy, dollar chasing people thought but little of the incident, but as a matter of fact here is a positive proof of the in spiration of the Bible, and the in fallibility of the promises made to tha people of God in the latter times. Proinlse to People Recalled. "Nearly 600 years before the com ing of Christ, Jehovah promised that he would plant his people In lands from whence they should never again be moved, and among the many ma terial blessings that he would shower upon them while other peoples were starving he promised them such an abundance of foodstuffs as they had never before known. Today our own and other coun tries are seriously considering a can cellation of the world's war debt. God's word provides for a league of nations where this great question of finance and evey other question which has to do with the welfare of all the peoples of the earth is plain ly set forth.

BLACKSTONE and the big top form the basis for "Circus Day," the musical comedy offering- opened at the Lyric theater yesterday afternoon. The first half of the show finds Ben Dillon and Al Franks dispensing sage legal advice in the law office of Dooley and Leschinski. Among their clients are Mademoiselle Marcella, a bareback rider, and Sigticr Bonnazi, a circus owner. The beautiful circus rider gets tem peramental and refuses to appear in the center ring. She seeks the coun sel of Ike and Mike in the matter. The signor also drops tn to start ir. funetion proceedings agfi..'nst his star performer.

The Lyric principals all appear to good advantage in the varied roles offered by the present play. Will Kader gives an excellent portrayal bi the old-time showman and ringmaster as Signor Bonnazi.

"Every man has a value and that value increases as civilization and Christianity advance," said Dr. Thom as Gallaher, pastor of the Sunnyside Methodist church, -in his sermon on "Some Modern Cripples" yesterday morning. "Medieval Christianity had little regard for the individual life, and men lived in convents and caves, secluded trom tne mart oi iraue ana , the heartbeat of humanity, and the devil and evil influence ran rampant I un and down the land. "Man cannot run counter to the teachings and custom of his day. We are not going t. win the future heaven until we have won the present earth first. Jesus came to revolutionize the eye-for-an-eye and the tooth-for-a-tooth doctrine. While he ministered to the outcast and the cripple, he struck deep at the cause and system that brought these inhuman condi tions. Society does not need compe tition but co-operation. We have too many churches competing, but far too few co-operating, we neea lewer churches and more harmony. "Humanity wants love and peace to pervade the world. We are made like God, and he is constructive, hopeful and progressive. To be like him and all that he intended, we must think of others as well as ourselves. The modern, world-wide, national and in dividual sin is selfishnes, where we do not think of others. "Capital and labor each must see the other's viewpoint, and not clash, to the detriment of all and the crip pling of society. All should lose their identity in the common cause of serv. ing humanity. All should do some thing. Humanity's cripples do not need pennies; they need power; give love, help, courage. All who block passageway to progress are cripples; 40 per cent of humanity are cripples, leaners instead of lifters. The world and God need new visions, greater motives, bigger, braver, brawnier, busier men . and women.

'Ohristlan Stewardship" was the theme yesterday morning of Dr. Henry Nugent of the Central Presby terian church. "I venture to say that whosoever ha? not raised and an swered the question. 'What shall I do with my money?' has never been truly at Jesus' feet," said Dr. Nugent. It was stewardship enrollment Sunday and Dr. Nugent was. urging his hearers to pledge themselves to give a fixed proportion of their in come for extending the kingdom of God. Continuing Dr. Nugent said: "The exigencies of the world war have set a new standard of giving. Many peo ple have discovered In themselves a new power,-' namely, the power to give generously, even unstintlngly Not since the early Christian centuries has giving been so general and on so generous a scale. "This Is the day of opportunity foi the Christian church. While loyal to every demand of the hour, it must not tolerate the idea that its cause is less imperative or impo. tant, or that the needs of the kingdom demand a less generous spirit of giving than other causes.

WORSHIP IS CALLED XATCRAI Rev. George H. Bennett Discussei Origin of Religion. "The Orig'n of Religion" was dis cussed in a sermon yesterday by Rev George H. Bennett, pastor of the Fatton Methodist Episcopal church. "Enemies of religion usually start with one of two propositions in dis cussing this subject," he said. "First, that no God exists, and it has taken millions of years for mankind to in vent one: or. secondly, a God exists, but it has taken millions of years to develop a sense of h' : existence. All ii.u however, is wide of the mark. Ethnologists tell us man Is Inherently religious. Humanity has in its nature something by which the invisible can be seen, the inaudible heard, and th.. intangible felt. Conscience recognizes; the demand or me lnvisioie, uuuumre, a: d intangible creator. "What would you say of a mn working in a great macnine snop i,, re steam engines, shafts, belts, tr,a.nna and saws, all In motion if that man worshiped the machinery and begged it to spare his life and save hira from accident? You would call his worship superstition. Such also is the worship of the primitive heathen who worships objects in na ture. His worship is to save him from violence and suffering. It is to save his body, not his soul. His wor ship originates in fear, and Is for the salvation of his body from danger. "Religion is a development of di vine revelation to mankind. It re veals man's subjection to moral gcv ernment. It shows him the import of irood and evil before the moral law. Conscience pointed good and evil, but worship springs not from fear of the powers of nature, but from faith in God for salvation from sin. It is not for bodily benefits, but for holiness of heart and righteousness of conduct before the moral law." EXPERT TESTIMONY DESIRED IX MURDER TRIAL.

Portland doctor who served six years with the Amer ican Red Cross in Serbia, to obtain expert testimony on shell shock in the! trial of J. Fred Welch, now in proa" ress at South Bend, Wash.
