TUT. 3rOK5'I3rG OREGONIAX, FRIDAY. XOTE3IBER 4. 1921 6 HEAD OF JAPANESE ENVOYS FOR PEACE Prince Tokugawa Has Hopes That World Will Disarm. NIPPON DECLARED SINCERE NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS Entente Cordlale Between United States, Britain and Japan Suggested as Solution. BY ADACHI KIXNOSUKA. (Copyr!M by th4 New York World. Pub Uehed by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 3. (Special.) Prince Tokugawa, head of the Japanese delegation to the Wash ington arms conference, who since his arrival in this country has Issued only brief statements to the press, today gave me the first authorized interview for The Oregonian. "I have come here with Just one thing in view what my country wants, what the people of the great republic are calling for, what the rest of the world today are praying for firm foundation for international peace," said the prince. Simple, democratic and human to the finger tips, the most astounding thing about the prince is not the pomp and ceremony, and enpurpled splendor which one conjures up in his fancy at the very mention of the atoried days of the Tokugawa, but the utter and absolute absence of them. Prince Talks In English. If he were my own father, who I had not seen for ages, or my old In structor, back from a far Journey, he could hardly have been more kindly and intimately considerate in his manners toward the Journalistic in truder; and what took the wind out of my sails from the start in fact, flabbergasted was the unexpected tact that he opened the conversation in English. . "I am no diplomat at all quite the contrary," he eaid. "I have no claim whatever to scholarship or profound knowledge of any sort. My one aspiration is and always has been to be of some service to my fellowmen. To be permitted to be one of the architects of the temple of peace is cne of the dTeams of my life. "Naturally, I come to this Wash ington conference with whole-hearted determination of doing my best for j the cause of peace. But that is not all. Mind you, I am speaking purely for myself as an Individual and not for the delegation in all I am saying to you this morning. Peace In Pacific Big Job. "I am going to enter this confer ence with the enthusiasm and passion of a small boy at seeing his long cherished dreams come true. The leadership in ushering in a reign of peace to the Pacific basin is a big enough job, even for this great coun try. The role becomes her well and I would like to see my country an swer the call of President Harding for the noble cause in a worthy man ner." No one can speak for peace with better grace than the prince. It is under the rule of his ancestors that Japan enjoyed the continuous and un broken peace of nearly 250 years a historic fact which cannot be matched in the story of feudalism anywhere on earth. "Speaking for myself, pure and imple, I am enttrely for laying the cards on the table from first to last," salrt the prince "In our hunger and hunt for peace we, the people of Nip pon, have nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide. If only our neigh bors would see us as we are and know bow we think and feel, how we wrestle with a thousand and one tor tuous problems, and the situation out there in the extreme east, I feel certain they would find us about as human as they themselves are. And that is the essential thing. Human Ttf atment Demanded, "To my way of thinking, perma nent peace can never come to us un less we are treated- as humans by our neighbors who are trying to meet our trials and troubles in a thor oughly human way. and in so doing we are entitled to even sympathetic co-operation, even as they are en titled to our consideration on the same basis. "In short, we Japanese are enter ing Into this conference not only with the determination and sincer ity to make the high aspiration of President Harding a triumphant suc cess, but also in a mood that would not take a defeat if humanly pos aible." "There is a great deal of talk in this country Just now about the Anglo-Japanese alliance," I said. "American people seem to be exceed ingly curious to know just how Japan feels about it. It may be in conceivable to you. prince, but there are people actually in this country who seriously think that the Anglo Japanese alliance is meant to be a mighty weapon which the impe rialistic Japan is whetting by day and by night to be used against the United States in the coming strug gle, in her stupendous fight for the mastery of the Pacific." Alliance ot War Weapon. "So I have been told." replied the prince. "I can hardly believe my own ears. It Is incredible to me that In this enlightened republic, and In this day of marvelous communication systems and wide publicity, there are people who can possibly think of the Anglo-Japanese alliance as an offensive weapon against, the United SLates a weapon dear to the im perialistic dream of militant Japan. "The chief reason. I presume, why the Japanese have not been able to deny in all deadly seriousness the monstrous assertion that the alliance Is aimed at the United States is be cause the accusation looks to us so utterly insane that we find it diffi cult to refute it soberly and with patience. "I am no diplomat. Naturally, I have no intention of proposing or even suggesting any definite form of International understading. But it would seem to me that it would be highly beneficial to the maintenance of the world peace, especially in the regions of the PacHic. if, for example. America, Great Britain and Japan could form an entente cordlale in one Corm or another. fcstente Held Real Solution. "I am fully aware of the difficul ties which beset all such suggestions. The traditional sentiment of the American people is. as I have been told, entirely opposed to foreign en tanglements and there may be quite a number of other objections in the way. But if such an understanding could be brought about to the per fect satisfaction of all the powers concerned, it would do much to bring about basic solutions of difficult prob lems In the far east and in the Pacific. "I do not mean by this suggestion that the entente should exclude other powers especially France and Italy, for example which make up what is Heilig. JACK LAIT. who has written stories, plays and vaudeville sketches, is responsible for the lines and lyrics in a the new Marcus Show of 1921. One of the songs, VCalt fornia, I Wanta Warn You," proved so popular that it was ' constantly applauded, and that after it had al ready been presented as a solo by a male quartet as a chorus, with and without dancing, in slow tempo and in ragtime. Charlie Abot, a diminu tive comedian, composed the music for tne entire snow, including the tune ful and popular "California." Mr. Abot'a forte is music, rather than comedy, although his pantomime and eccentricities of characterization amuse. He plays the violin with ex pression and authority and the rest of the entire show was his playing of the "Traumerei." His bowing is remark able and he produces smooth, perfectly-shaded tones. A clever girl at the piano added vitality and color In her accompaniment. Another specialty that rang its changes through the many scenes was the excellent dancing of Stanley and Byrnes, a pair of agile young men steppists. One of their several clever dances was a lazy inebriated jazz Idea, executed In perfect rhythm and sparkling with originality. A talented and trained toe dancer and an acro batic dancing girl added specialties in the roof garden scene. The show is in the form of many specialties, one following so quickly on the heels of another that little attention can be paid to encore re quests or the entertainment would last until after midnight. It is gen erous and moves rapidly. Save for Abot'a comedy lines there are no dull moments.. The costumes are really gorgeous and there must be two dozen for every girl in the company. In one scene on the roof garden when, Abot as a diner orders chicken the restaurateur pa rades girls garbed as appetizing chicken dishes, chicken a la king, on toast, as a sandwioh, paprika chicken, stewed chicken, broiled and sundry other ways, each cleverly dressed to represent the way she was to be served. Anotbet clever - number was an Easter parade on Fifth avenue and another parade of ankles showing be neath a curtain, an interesting novelty well carried out. The scenes are 24 in number and vary from the chicken coop where the Broadway broilers are hatched to the honeymoon ship scene which closes the show. A pair of very fine accordionista, Oliver and Marie Vespo, electrified with their playing. The Marcus Peaches are young and more or less shapely and certainly do not lack for changes of wardrobe. They are all good dancers and work rap Idly and tirelessly through at least two dozen chorus epeciaitles. The engagement continues this week, closing tomorrow night. There is a matinee Saturday afternoon. Hippodrome. GLADYS WALTON. Portland girl, is again visiting her ex-schoolmates and friends at the Hippodrome theater. She is the central figure in a highly interesting story one which in the nature of its plot and senti ment is calculated to show the young actress in her best histrionic moods. Especially is her youth emphasized and her exceeding good looks. The play is called "High Heels" and shows the little. Portland maid as a saucy little butterfly, . whose life as a daughter of wealth is just one gay party and frolic after another. A sudden loss fit riches and pres tige and social place leaves the sorry little butterfly to solve big prob lems. One of these is looking after herself and a bevy of young sisters and brothers. How she manages to do 't, and incidentally come down off aer high heels into a girl of character and resource, makes a mighty inter esting story. Of course a romanci awaits her and plenty of Interesting happenings,'' Including a battle of wits, in which she fights and wins over an enemy of her father's. The piece has been screened with care and attention to detail, and Miss Walton is winsome and clever In her playing cf the part. A capable cast support iier. The Australian Delsos start the bill off In great shape with a whirl ant! a twirl, and, as the programme says, "a wonderful girl." The act is novel and entertains, and the girl cer tainly lives up to her biUins. Medley and Duprey have a comedy joke in which "It's broke" is fea tured conversationally to the amuse ment of the audience. The patter and chatter is all new and very diverting, and the two express originality - at every turn. A very fine act is that of Meryl Prince Girls, vaudeville's classiest girl quartet. The song specialists have excellent voices individually and lepreeent the artistic and worth while in their act. Their voices blend in delightful harmonies chosen with a view to melody. The young women are extremely good looking and are smartly gowned. The act is dis tinctive and way above the average in girl quartettes. "Figure It Out" is the title, and an appropriate one. for the amusing and interesting offering of Bert Rose and Neil Schaffner, who have a real sur prise tucked into the fun. The closing number is of headline caliber. It is a series in magic and illusion of a superior quality offered ty Walter Baker and his group of illusionista The act, aside from being entertaining in the highest sense, is so cleverly contrived and maneuvered as to leave the audience constantly perplexed. The bill cranges on Sunday. called the five great powers of the world. On the contrary, that would indeed be so much nearer the ideal. "The very fact that we are here is a proof that not only America and Japan, but a number of others are In sober earnest to devote their best ef forts for the realization of the great est of the world's desires peace among nations."

The largest individual sale was a trans action running over the two thousand dollar mark. That was the best and biggest sale made. The worst was a diamond sold for a hundred and nineteen dollars. It was marked in the window by mistake, one hundred and nineteen dollars instead of two hundred and nineteen! It was actually worth $285. Alas, mistakes happen in the best of families! Because the Friedlander Company is "long on diamonds" and "short on money" (to use the brokers' terms) drastic reductions have been made on everything. You can judge from the window shows, or from these "unvarnished" facts. A Bar Pin of platinum and diamonds that was $950 is now $525. Another that was $325 is now $247. A group of $60 diamonds set in white gold rings with platinum tops is $37.50. A $500 ring in a very elaborate platinum mount ing is $285. A magnificent solitaire is $827 instead of one thousand and two hundred dollars. Of course there are literally scores of rings at any price ranging from twenty-five dollars to twenty-five hundred. And every one is emphat ically reduced. The Friedlander Company's obligations c$n only be met ivilh cash. They cannot be paid with diamonds. Here's a Ruby and Diamond Dinner Ring a blaze of glory. It was $350, cut to $195. A Pearl and Diamond Cluster Ring, was $550. is $295. Bar Pins are tragically reduced. A $285 Platinum Bar Pin set with diamonds is $1 79. A Diamond-Set Bracelet Watch is $475 instead of $950. Another set with Sapphires and Diamonds is $150 instead of $300. Solid Cold Cameo Brooches one-half and less.
