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.

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

"Hearts Are Trumps" is the fea

story is an exciting one witn an all

fine concert at the public auditorium
jesterday afternoon. The number of

Isabella choristers, Mr. Goodrich di

They sang brightly and intelligently
and with admirable ensemble, to the
piano accompaniments of Martha Van

women stepped from the ranks of the
choristers and sany from memory,
with excellent, lively effect, "Sleep

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

the only real solution to the per

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

the center ring. She seeks the coun
sel of Ike and Mike in the matter.

"Every man has a value and that
value increases as civilization and
Christianity advance," said Dr. Thom

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

"Humanity wants love and peace to

all that he intended, we must think

his hearers to pledge themselves to

Continuing Dr. Nugent said: "The
exigencies of the world war have set
a new standard of giving. Many peo

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. Yet the fact remains
that many professed followers ot

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.

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."

tioned in news dispatches as arriving i
in Tacoma about February 1 and was
thought to have come to Portland. I
Wprd as to his present whereabouts!
could not be obtained from local Red .
Cross officials and others last night. I
Dr. Sargentich's testimony on ac-j
tlons of men directly following shell
shock is sought by the defense rela- j
tive to testimony introduced by the
prosecution regarding alleged actions
of Welch and utterances of other vic
tims of the explosion directly follow
ing the blowing up of the dredge.

indicates that one of the four killed
by the explosion accused Welch of
clubbing him in statements made be
