4 TTIE MORNING OltEGOXIAN, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1921 OMTIOFJK POPULAR AMERICA Congressmen From Hustings Find Sentiment Strong. CHINA WINS SYMPATHY Demand Tliut Allies Pay in Full "Var Debts to United States Re ' ported to Bo General. Br MARK SULX.IVAN. (Copyright, li:M. by the New York Kvenlng 1'oHt. lnr. I'uhLHhed by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C Pec 1. (Spe cial.) The return to Washington of senators and representatives who have ben spending a litUo time In their home districts and are now com lng back for the regular session next week diverts attention to some domes tic aspnets of the present armament conference and to some approaching events and issues in purely American politics. The reports of these congressmen re universally to the effect that the move toward the limitation of arma ments la not- merely popular, but meets with almost passionate ap proval. As to the other half of the confer ence, there Is less understanding of the problems of the far east and public opinion Is less definitely crystallised, but the universal tendency Is to take It for granted that what Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes and Mr. Koot are pro posing to do Is right. Marked Friendship for China. Thers is also universal friendliness for China, and satisfaction with the programme which is Interpreted to have as its purpose the fostering of the interests of that country. The American programme on China now being carried out in the conference will be entirely approved by public x opinion. The returning congressmen report acute Interest in another aspect sf our international relations which Is not on the agenda of the conference; namely, those economic aspects of our foreign relations which includes the debts owed to us by various Euro pean countries, German reparations and the stabilization of exchange. The returning congressmen say that the people hare begun to see In their local papers tentative suggestions about the scaling down or partial- re mission of the debts hat certain Eu ropean countries owe us. How the public feels about these suggestions Is expressed by the fact that they speak of it with an invidious implica tion as "propaganda." Stated in a sentence, as reported by the politi cians, the American public wants these debts paid. Kducatlonal Campaign Needed. The public of course, Is unfamiliar both with the details of these debts and also with the complex details of the relations of these debts to our for eign trade. Be fore our government can make any arrangements about these lebts, which Involve partial compro mise, there will have to be an exten sive campaign of public education. It may be that this diffusing of In telligence will arise out of the debate which Is to take place In the senate next week on the passing of the bill giving the administration the right, within limits, to rearrange the debts. Every well-informed person knows that these debts vary, so to speak, In their collectibility. Even the least Informed person knows that there is a difference between the possibility of collecting money owed to us by Great Britain, and, on the other hand, the possibility of collecting that which Is owed to us by Russia for example, or Poland, or some of the southeastern countries of Europe. Those who have given thoughtful study to the subject have worked out various plans for handling these debts. In their details the plans vary greatly. Some .treat the debts as if they Btood alone and others treat them as o-ne angle of a general set tlement of world-wide finance and business conditions. r Zealots Ileicinnligsr to Show. in addition tnat considerable group Of persons who, whenever questions of currency or banking become polit leal issues, turn . up in the role of zealots for one form or another o economic cure, all are beginning to appear. Jn Washington. It is diffi cult to walk from your offices to your home without being backed into a corner at each turn of the street by some passionate patriot who re hearses the whole history of the free silver movement as a preliminary to a patent plan for curing th'e world's economie ills by a congressional fiat. Not only these schemes, but also such plans as have been evolved by re sponsible persons,' are wholly aca demic and tentative. Barring the bjll about to be debated in the senate giving the power for refunding the foreign debts to a com mission to be appointed by the presl ' dent there Is as yet nothing definite to be said about action on our foreign debts. It is apparent, however, that various things are In process of .in cubation ana I hat something definite will turn up just as soon as the sen ate debate is finished. As to domestic politics In the broadest sense, the returning con gressmen bring back reports of the most serious and sullen discontent with the republican senate and house. President Harding is absolved, but the republican senate and house are due to receive disciplinary punishment in the elections next year. Fine Concert Is Given by Apollo Male Chorus. Miss Mabel Garrison, New York Opera Soprano, Assists tn Pro gramme. BY. JOSEPH MACQUEEN. A1 LL good friends of the Anollo club male chorus, and surelv there are many of them, have every reason to be satisfied and even Joyful over the conceit given by that or ganization, assisted' by Miss Mabel tiarrlson. New York concert and opera soprano, In the public auditorium Thursday night.- Mlss Garrison sang as soloist at an Apollo club concert In this city a lu ll 7,0're man two years ago, and then made a success. Thursday night she pleased old friends and made a small host of new ones. The Apollo club showed a big Improvement in ensem ble singing. There were 70 men In the Apollo club chorus Thursday night, and they sang so well that they left nothing undone to stamp the event with dis tinction. The chori.ste- sang- with unanimity of agreement and nice at tention to light and shade, with good diction, and in tune. That is saying a good deal, and speaks volumes for the careful weeding 'practice before chorus men are passed as being O. K. for public concerts. Musically speaking, and also in a NEW BILLS AT Heilig. BY LEONE CASS BAER. MELODIOUS as well as lively and entertaining is ."Angel Face," which opened an engagement at the Heilig Thursday night. Mixed in with the more or leaa musical comedy conventionalism is a good deal of enjoyable material which Is not overworked and the piece has surprise element and comedy strain from aOart to finish. Some of the musical pieces have a dis tinct freshness. One of these, "That Haunting Waltz." has a haunting, in sidious charm, and one other, "I Might Be Your Once-in-a-While," delight fully sung by the fascinating Mar guerite Zender, must be named as one of the most fetching numbers we have heard in a long time. The plot is among those present and really begins and ends some where. An eccentric scientist claims he has discovered the source of eternal youth in an elixir he has compounded and is trailing around at an evening party looking .for an elderly subject on which to experiment. Two yo.ung blades are hosts for the party and among a lot of' uninvited guests who drop in is the nice old grandmother of one of the blades. She has lately inherited a flock of money and aching to separate herself from it and have a good time. The old scientist puts some of his elixir in her goblet and then grandma fades away from the effects of the Intoxicants they've put in with the elixir. They put her to slumber in a convenient cubby-hole and later she makes a dignified exit, unbeknownst to the aforementioned blades. In the meantime, as ll'l Jimmy says, a young and beauteous damsel In distress who has a crush on one of the blad&s and wants to dis-engage him from her sister, his fiancee, slips Into the cubbyhole and puts on gram ma's Paisley shawl and leghprn hat. When the party discovers her the scientist announces that she is grand ma turned younger by a quarter of a century and various emotions are reg istered. Later an infant, squalling and protesting, claims attention be cause the other blade believes It is his sweetie turned from a buxom, healthy lass Into a wailing child by drinking what was left of the elixir in grand ma's goblet. Of course there's a aon curfent plot which has to do with the love affairs of several pairs, espe cially that of the pretty little hero ine. . She is Betty in "Angel Face," but she will always be Mary to Port landers who remember her quaint charm and wholesome sweetness in the musical play "Mary," which George M. Cohan sent to this coast last spring.. . Her real name Is Marguerite Zen der and the waves of applause that swept the house last night when she made her entrance attested that we remembered "Mary." Miss Zender stands out In this piece as in "Mary," by reason of the remarkable purity of her voice. She Is rarely graced, too. with good looks and charm, a sort of musical comedy Billie Burke. Every time she sang her saucy little provoc ative "I Might Be Your Once-in-a-While" she proved a complete delight and stopped the show until she sang the. chorus again and again. Nat Carr as the chief blade gives a wonderfully droll and humorous per formance,-with one song- lullaby to the howling baby, the memory of which brings a chuckle. The cast is nicely balanced. A good deal of com edy is contributed like a ribbon run ning through the story in the dance activities of Joe Maolt, who threads his terpslchorean way In and out of the plot In several guises as a correspondence-school detective."' On one occasion he offered a travesty of the dances esthetic which convulsed the critical sense, the best singing done by the club Thursday nigt took place In the MacDowell "Thy Beaming Eyes" and the Warren "Slumber Song." The latter was sung with unexpected ten derness, and shows the obvious pres ence and Influence of many married men in the chorus. Hardened bache lors never In this world could put emotion into such a pretty, delicate slumber hymn, concluding, "Sleep, my baby; ah, my baby, rest." William H. Boyer, the energetic and talented conductor, made a hit when he wrote the harmony to three songs one Scotch, the second Irish, and the third English 'The Blue Bells of Scotland," "Old Irish Song" and "Sally in Our Alley." These choruses were charmingly sung, and with perfect taste. The first tenors deserve credit for the splendid pian issimo In their upper register they used In "Sally," and the second basses sang with fine effect. Miss Garrison Is a pocket edition prima, donna soprano, a dainty young woman, and the lucky possessor of a lyric soprano voice that Is far-reaching and has fair volume, although it is not powerful. Her voice Is well placed and pleasant In the lower and middle registers. It has a sameness, but Miss Garrison made good, em phatically, and the audience lost their hearts to her. She sang three groups. In Italian, French and English. Her renditions of the aria "Regnava nel Sllenzit" (Donisetti). "Vous dansez. Marquise" (Lemaire-Pasternack) and "I Bring You Heartsease" (Bran scombe) were exquisite. The audi ence gave her encore after encore, and her. good nature and desire to please lasted throughout. Her extra numbers were: "Une voce poco fa" from the "Barber of. Seville," "Ros slgnol," a wonderfully pretty vocal exercise (Saint Saens), "Kiss Me Again" (Victor Herbert), "Mammy's LIT Alabama Coon" (Negro) and the famous "Norwegian Echo Song." Mr. Boyer as conductor of - the chorus displayed cleverness and good command of his forces. George Sei mon woV honors as accompanist for Miss Garrison. The club accompanists were Edgar C. Coursen, William C. McCulloch and Ralph W. Hoyt, and they all made good. FDGH LAM HEROES FAREWELL OVATIOX TO GRIM MARSHAL IS INSPIRING. More Than 5000 Persons Attend Great Armory Rally Where French Leader Speaks. Marshal Foch bade farewell to Port land when he addressed an assembly of B0O0 citizens, many of whom were wearing the olive drab so familiar in 1917 and 1918. In the Multnomah county armory Thursday night. It was not a crowd that had for gotten the days of war that the mar shal of France addressed. Never was more enthusiasm shown by a Portland audience than when the famous man whose exploits on the battle field vie with those of his countryman, Na poleon, advanced to the platform. - Leather-lunged doughboys, tired business men, housewives, boys, girls and everyone, joined In a mighty chorus of applause that Marshal Foch will never forget. One little French woman, the bride of an American so.'- dler of the American expeditionary forces, at the sight of the man who had saved La Belle France, arose from her seat and, with waving arms, screamed in her delight. Speaking through an interpreter, the marshal -recalled the bitter . days -in THE THEATERS audience and made us wish -that all the he-esthetics and funny, chtffon clad, prancing women dancers could see Joe Mack's burlesque and so see themselves as others see them. Nora Kelly, who has a natural gift for comedy, has also a well-trained voice which Is heard in several num bers, the best liked of which is "Whis tle the Blues Away." with a whistling chorus. A good dancing and acting team is Evelyn Grelg and Tyler Brooke. Later Miss Greig does a cap ital dance specialty with the slender Mr. Mack. Sarah McVicker is a May, Robson of comedy, natural and de - lightfully amusing. The chorus girls are young and sl-apely and can dance and sing. "Angel Face" will continue the rest of the week,wlth a matinee Saturday. The cast: Tom Lark I nil Nat Carr Arthur Qrllfln ..Tyler Brooks Sandy Sharp...

LInne Conductor Hippodrome. A DELIGHTFULLY arranged series of dances, songs and conversa tion Is "Tid Bits of 1921," which Is in fact a miniature revue. It occupies first place of Importance on the new bill at the Hippodrome, which opened yesterday. A trio of talehted folk are featured in the novel act. One is charming Sylvia Snow, a remarkably clever girl: one Is Dan A. Slgworth, and one is Michael Kurzene. .the last two talented chaps. The costumes In this merry revue are particularly handsome, original in design and at tractive in color theme. A big musical laugh hit is ca-iiea "TV...

Arthur Lloyd, billed appropriately as the "Human Card Index," puts on a capital act of original Ideas, and McMahon and Adelaide open the bill with an adroit arrangement of bag punching. . This act is novel in its setting and original in its develop ment. The photoplay is one that shares interest with the vaudeville show. It is an adaptation of 0'Henry"s story. "Whistling Dick's Christmas Stock ing," which delightful story has been made into a motion picture for Will Rogers, the diminutive comedian. The nray . is called An unwilling tiero. This bill changes on Sunday. France when. the tide of the German forces was sweeping toward the gates of Paris. Across the seas were coming streams of Yanks with their hearts atuned to the spirit of the west. He recalled how these mtaj. blending their khaki colors with the horizon blue of the pollu and the olive drab of the British Tommy, drove back the enemy and brought about the signing of the armistice and peace. . ' These same men who brought about the splendid victory at arms,' accord ing to Marshal Foch, are the men upon whom will fall the responsi bility for the peace of nationB. United In arms, they must be united in peace and strive to build up a better and stronger civilisation. Hanford MacNider, national com mander of American Legion, before In troducing Marshal Foch in his buoy ant style of address, told the audience of the alms and the Ideals of tha American Legion. He called not only upon all men who are eligible for membership, but the citizenship of the nation to stand behind the organi zation which he heads, in an effort to develop a stronger Americanism. State officers of the American Legion presided at the gathering. Soloists sang 'The Star-Spangled Banner" and j the "Marselllals as the crowd stood at attention. -: Julius L. Meier, president of the 1925 exposition organization, pre sented the marshal with a miniature statue of the original "Doughboy of the West" which had been made by Avard Fairbanks, who holds the chair of sculpture at the University of Oregon. Following the meeting the cele brated guests of the city hurried to their special train and departed for San Francisco. PRINTERS AT GOLDENDALE Men Involved in Theater Robbery TVorkers in Harvest Fields. GOLDENDALE, Wash., Dec. 1. (Special.) John Printer, a Russian, wanted in connection with the rob bery of the Liberty theater at Port land, and his son, Andrew Printer, now in jail at Portland, in connec tion with the crime, were employed in the harvest fields of the Klickitat valley last summer. The elder Printer worked for Frank Graham, a stock man and farmer near Centerville. and the boy was employed by Frank Sarsfleld. Frank Graham, who is a well known Klickitat farmer and stock man, says that both workers were excellent harvest hands. Mr. Gra ham says that the elder Printer spoke English brokenly and was hard to understand, and does not believe that he had anything to do with planning the robbery, but thinks that he was led into it. He also says that John Printer expressed himself as being dissatisfied with conditions in the United States, and said that the first time he got money enough he was gplng to return to Russia. - Mr. Graham describes the elder Printer as being a man of powerful physique, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, weight about 195 punds, and with kinky, sandy hair. He is of the opinion that John Printer will attempt to leave the United States on a Russian ship. The Printers were in the Klickitat country about a month, leaving here after harvest for Odell, Or.

Starkweather'; Is Elected President. JJJJ - R D. MANN BEATEN Red-Hot Contest Is Featured by. Charges and Counter-Charges. Sir. Myers in Row. After a red-hot contest, featured by the hurling ' of charges, - counter charges and the short and ugly word by opposing factions, Harvey G. Stark weather defeated John D. Mann for the presidency of the Jackson club at a meeting at Central Library Thurs day night. After nominations for -the presi dency of the club had been made Frank S. Myers, ex-postmaster of Portland, attacked the candidacy of Mr. Mann, declaring that the latter toad not been a true democrat for,.the past three or four years. W. T. Vaughn supported Mr. Myers by ques tioning Mr. Mann s democracy. . , . Mr. Marin jumped to his feet t re fute the charges, with the accusation that Myers was "a liar." "I can prove what I say; I have the record in my pocket now," re torted the ex-postmaster. "You and your bunch have nothing of the sort under your dirty hide. was the answer of Mann, as nearly as It could be heard in the babel of voices in the crowded room. Cries of "Sit down" and "Go on' filled the air as members of disput lug factions voiced their attitudes. One member of' the club accused Myers of. having bee"n registered as an independent and of lukewarm loy alty to the democratic party in times past. Mr. Myers replied that his ac cuser was lying. . The debate was finally stopped when a vote was called for, and in I the ensuing balloting Mr. Stark weather was named head of the club. J. H. Smith of Astoria was elected vice-president, Frank Vaughn secre tary and F. C. Whltten treasurer. The club voted to give $100 to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation fund. The Mann supporters were solidly be hind the gift, while the Myers crowd opposed it. The club members voted to hold ft banquet January 7, the day before the battle of New Orleans in which An drew Jackson distinguished himself. The speaker of the evening was Mil ton A. Miller, whose subject was "World War." He warmly indorsed the disarmament conference. TRIBESMEN SIEZE WOMEN WILDER AIDERS EXECUTE 500 GENDARMES IX PERSIA.

Bachl mont, a Frenchman attached to the mission. Mrs. Sachimont was found two days later in a distraught con dition, hldinir in a ruine-J house. Five hundred gendarf ..-s, who sur rendered, were stood bp in batches and shot down with machine guna After these excesses the tribesmen withdrew, but no Persian troops had .occupied the ' town when the news reached here.

HULL A LETTER Nov . 2S, 1921. Manager Columbia Theater, City. Dear Sir: After seeing "The Sheik," I must say that it is even better than I an ticipated. Sometimes when one has great expectations, the reality is a disappointment, but not in this case. The splendid portrayal of Mr. Valentino and MissAyres would in itself make a fine film, but the stir ring desert scenes give a sense of realism that makes the picture one that will not be quickly forgotten. The music, too, fits in wonderfully. I feel that I will be tempted to see it again before the week is over.
