TTIE 3I0RXIXG OKEGOXIAX," MONDAY, v XOVE3IBER 6, 1922 MR. BAKER EXPECTS FAIR BILL TO PASS Big Majority in Portland Is Predicted by Mayor. OUT-STATE WON OVER NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS H People' Declared Brought to Real ize Value of Exposition to Oregon. Portland tomorrow will give its approval to the 1927 exposition by a vote on the two measures on the city ballot that will equal, if not exceed, that given at the election in November, 1921, according to Mayor Baker, who has represented the exposition managing committee ' in the present campaign. He de clared also that the state outside of Portland will favor the adoption of the constitutional amendment permitting Portland to raise money by a tax with which to finance the exposition, and this, too, by a large majority. The mayor expressed the belief that the country districts have undergone a change in atti tude toward the exposition in the past year and that there is now a better feeling all over the state to ward Portland. I have not the slightest doubt vt the passage of the exposition measures tomorrow," said Mayor Baker. "In the city I would not be surprised if the indorsement were made by a vote stronger than that of four to one given a year ago. Reports that I have heard from out side assure me that In the country there is Birch a strong sentiment in favor of the exposition that the af firmative v6te will leave no doubt in the minds of anyone that the farming communities believe in the sincerity of the exposition pro moters when they insist that this exposition must be held with the purpose of advancing and develop ing the whole of Oregon. Portland ThouKht Converted. The determination is thoroughly understood in Portland and many who at first had doubted the wis dom of holding an exposition, now realize that something must be done n brine all Darts of the state to gether in one great united effort lo push Oregon to the front, and are now convinced that the exposi tion is the best means of accomplish ing this. I believe that it is this awakening that will bring out the strong vote for the exposition, and I am sure that this feeling in Port land has been reflected in the country districts with a resulting warmer feeling toward Portland and a cbnviction that the project will accomplish its aims. "My confidence of success is strengthened by the fact that there has been no serious organized op position to the exposition. It Is true that a small group of persist ent obstructionists are opposing the passage of the measures. This group at all times in the past has been found battling any enter prise proposed for the advancement of Portland and Oregon. In the ranks- were found opponents of the bridges across the Willamette, they insisting that the old ferries were good enough. Bull Run Bill Opposed. "The plan to supply Portland with Bull Run water, the purest and best ot any city in the country, met their opposition. So did such worthy en terprises as the 1905 fair, our great system of public highways, includ ing the world - famous Columbia river driveway that has attracted hundreds of thousands of tourists to Oregon and the greatest scenic ad vertisement any state in the union possesses; the interstate ' bridge, a most valuable economic asset, link ing two great states, Oregon and Washington; the public auditorium and other municipal necessities. "The stand that these men take on such matters is to be regretted, for while their opposition to civic projects can be overcome, they could be of much, assistance. But they lack vision. They have prospered and waxed fat through their various activities and they now are satisfied with their own condition and the conditions that exist throughout the state. They see Oregon as it is, and Oregon certainly has done well by them. They do not realize that changes constantly are going on and what was possible for them to acccmplish at one time may now only be attained in a different way. Men Blind to ProgresR. "The fact that other states about us have forged ahead, leaving us away in the background gives them no concern. They do not under stand that in order for us to take our proper place among the great states of the Union, we must be up and doing. We cannot sit around twiddling our thumbs and bemoan ing our fate. , "I feel sure the people now under stand that this exposition is not to attract people merely to entertain or amuse them. " It is a strictly business proposition. It is indorsed by serious-minded men and women of Oregon. It means much to the employer and employe and has re ceved the hearty approval of labor, that greatest distributor of wealth in a community. I am sure the vote tomorrow will justify my con clusions, and I feel that the dawn of a new era in Oregon is at hand." Orplieum. BY LEOXE CASS BAER. ARK, hark, hark is back with us. He oozes through the cur tains into a stage of utter black ness and croaks as of old for a "spotlight." Only no mere printed word can reproduce the accent and explosiveness of Herbert Williams "spotlight" plea. With the engag ing and interesting Hilda Wolfus, Williams is again headlining and most of the act is new-; They have kept a few of the beloved old hall marks: Williams' yellow shoes but toned on the wrong feet, the roller shade dress that he pulls down when Hilda would expose too much of her legs, the piano that falls on disaster when Williams would play on it, and Miss Wolfus' im personation of a piano lamp, a bit out of last year's act. Williams' does his famous recitation with ges tures and its "hark, hark, hark" chorus. This year he brings along a hard-headed orchestra leader with whom he mixes verbally and physic ally to the huge delight of the audi ence. You can't just smile or laugh gently at AVilliams. Tou either roar and cackle out loud or subside into weak hysteria. He never smiles and his blank face and sober manner enhance his own delightful comedy. He plays the piano with skill, and to his old novelty of playing "Yan kee Doodle" with one hand and "The FiBher's Hornpipe" with the other, he has -added a song, and gets two folk in the audience and Hilda all to sing different songs simul taneously. The combined melodies made a fascinating study. Paul Morton, who can sing, right along with the best of 'em, returns with his usual and established part ner, charming Naomi Glass. Their act is a constant delight with every moment accounted for in worth while entertainment. The romantic pair meet in a rainstorm and carry on prettily in chatter and steps and song, and then the curtain going up reveals them housed two years later in a box-car bungalow. They sing a capital little new oddity about "Home Sweet Home," full of sense and nonsense and rich in harmony. Bill Robinson returns and his act still claims attention. It needs no changing, for the greater part of Bill's offering is amazing dance steps. If there is any step he doesn't know and put into use, it's because he hasn't discovered it yet Bill Is a colored man, smiling and sure of himself and he says, "I can supply this dancing just as long as you call for it," and he does until his bronze face Is wet. Bill's best moments are danced up and down a flight of steps and along the aisle, where he causes a riot. Edward Foley and Lea Leture have a smart musical comedy idea in which a Chinese bit lingers pleasantly for its cfever pantomime and originality. An old idea is used in "The Piano Movers and the Actress." in which McDevitt, Kelly and Quinn appear. They move a piano all over the place at the whim of the. actress, and the arguments occasion fun for the audience. One of the men, a lean, attenuated chap, adds comedy by featuring his fine points and a dance drill in which the three finish is good. Opening the bill is a comedian juggler named Lawton, who plays intricate tunes on a drum by jug gling, and who tosses three heavy pellets around as easily as it-f'hey were paper. . That amusing episode of the two monkeys, one as a barber and the other as his patron is enacted cleverly by a. pair of smart little monkeys. They are in the act of Fred Gelettl and Mabel Kokin, the latter a graceful acrobatic ballet dancer. Hippodrome. tlf RANGE BLOSSOMS" is the title of the clever musical revue that tops the new bill at -the Hippodrome. Three pretty girls, all young and graceful, are a foil for the comedy antics of two men, made up in blackface. The act has the atmosphere of a minstrel review and the two men are engaging in their fun. The three pretty maids dance delightfully and sing. - Their costumes are smart and fresh. One of the comedians is a ' Pullman porter type and the other one is a down and out character.. Their ex change of ideas is original . and x well done. A yodeling specialty that appeals greatly is offered by Brandon, who, with Miss Taylor, has an unusually diverting and pleasing act. Bran don's yodeling is the feature of the act, but the remainder of the turn if full of novelty and cleverness. Brandon makes yodeling records for several talking machine companies. Fletcher and Terre are two young men jesters who chat and sing in a pleasant skit called "You Know Bill." A novel and interesting act is of fered by Paul Howard, a youthful chap who apparently hasn't a bone in his body. He is a brilliant dancer, and is also an equilibrist and a contortionist. He has set his act amid comedy idea3 and this getaway from the usual routine makes a great hit with his audience, with whom Howard proves a favorite. The bill opens with '"A Canine's Dream," a pantomime cleverly en acted by a troupe of sagacious, well trained dogs. The picture is a big favorite. It is called "For fiig Stakes," with Tom Mix in one of his dramatic western hero roles. This bill changes Saturday. WORLD HELD SHORT OF CROSS-BEARERS Christendom Said to Need Real Discipleship. , w Lyric. HEN pretty little Evelyn Du school girl costume, sang "Boo Boo" at the opening performance of "Make Believe," by' the Lyric musi cal comedy company at the Baker theater yesterday afternoon she cried so realistically that there wasn't a real man in the' audience who was not ready to offer her his coat lapel. This song by Miss DuFresncwas easily the brightest light in a com edy replete with bright lights. Not only did the petite singer sing and cry, but the chorus girls in fetch ing costumes danced up and down the aisles during this number and then did some clever steps on the stage, which called for numerous encores. "Make Believe" proved to be full of . KmeAy situations and good wholesome laughs. The setting was located in a fashionable cafe which gave ample opportunity for parades of beautiful women in dresses a la mode. A comedy stage wedding followed by a peppy dance by Lou Pavis and Mildred Cassidy was another popu lar number. There were also a num ber of good selections by the Pacific four, which called for applause. "Make Me Just Want to Be Loved by You," sung" by Marie Rich, prima donna, was another popular number. loist. The shifting, opalescent val ues of Debussy, with their blurred pedal effects and moody content, were like music from another world in comparison with the crisp, order ly, musical mathematics of Bach. Miss Michaelsen played the stern measures of the Delphic dance with marked authority; "Leo VoMes, mysterious and evasive; "Le Vent" as windily as Debussy could have desired; "La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin." with its French-Scotch accent, provocative and quaint; "Puck's Dance" with all the half -mischievous wilfulness and the "Minstrels" (which always sounds like the famous Frenchman in North Caro lina) all these the soloist played exquisitely. No less well the beau tiful Bach "Concerto," with its crisp allegro, the significant andante and the splendid and vital presto, which ends so much sooner than It should. Ravel after Debussy is like a brisk breeze after a close, perfumed room. Ravel after Bach was not unlike in its spirit, though so many generations apart in its modes. Ra vel's. claim that music is not .mental is not always supported by his music, which has, It appears to the writer, so much more continuity than that of the majority of the other modernists. One receives more than vague sensuous impres sions In Ravel. His music, however programmed, has- always a fine thread of something above mere sensation. This is his charm. Miss Michaelsen played his "Jet of Wa ter" splendidly. The "Pavane," which seems a bit long drawn out for fcts programme, the "Ondine" and the "Alborada del GraofoFa" were all finely and brilliantly played the last two involving tre mendous demands upon the powers of the pianist. The Toccata" and "Fugue in G Minor," of Bach, which ended the recital, were most enjoyable and played with great vigor and clarity, Miss Michaelsen. was induced to add as an encore the flowing measures of the "Ondine." Her next recital is dated for November 19. ARTISANS JNDORSE FAIR Lodge Officially in Favor of Exposition in 192 7. To the list of organizations in Portland and throughout the state which have indorsed the plans for the 1927 exposition has been added Fram, Oregon and Liberty assem blies of United Artisans, it was an nounced yesterday by officials of that order. These three assemblies, it was declared, took action at their last regular business meetings favoring the holding of the fair in Portland in 1927. Numerous other lodges in Port land and throughout the state have already indorsed the plan for hold ing the exposition in 1927 instead of 1925 in order that more time might be given- for financing and building the fair. STRIFE FOR GAIN IS HIT If All Would Put Up Sword, Noth ing Would Be Impossible, Says Rev. Mr. Flint. "It Is a question when we are a member of a church whether we are disciple of Jesus." declared Rev. Elbert E. Flint, pastor of the Atkin son Memorial Congregational church, in his morning sermon yesterday on the subject "Following Jesus, the Test of Discipleship."' "To be a mem ber of a church may mean one thing and to follow Jesus may mean an other. But It is no question what we are when we follow him. "The disciple of Jesus is related to him by the cross. 'Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me,' Jesus said, 'can not be my disciple.' Jesus speaks of this relationship in many ways. It was of this he spoke when he said to the young man, Sell what thou hast and come follow me.' My path leads to the home of the sick, to the un cleansed temple, to the well to do Zacchaeus, watching from the tree tops, to the midnight caller named Nicodemus, ruler of the Jews. Aid to Service Christlike. "Of such service to a needy and struggling world was Christ's mean ing of the cross. It is not then of a material symbol that we lay so much stress upon that relation to Jesus as his followers. "Help to the suffering and starv ing of Armenia is service that finds us following in the footsteps of Jesus. It is a cross today, many say, to foresake our comfortable fire sides and go out in the service of our city and schools as officers. But it is a service that links us to the life of him who loved the children and wept over tho pending ruin of Jerusalem. "It is a cross today when the golf links are calling us and the high ways lie spread out as smooth as glass before .us, to tempt us to a Sunday game or a Sunday drive, to sit down and teach a Sunday school class of boys or girls and minister to the church in the name of a dea son or elder or other officer but it is the link that binds us to him. who. In his native city, on the Sab bath day, went into the temple to worship. Spirit of Dlnclple deeded. "Christendom is not lacking in numerical strength today, but it falls short in discipleship of the cross bearing kind. If all who name the name of Jesus were such we could easily say, 'Put up the sword,' or 'Keep the Sabbath holy,' or, leave off this world strife for gain and nothing would be impossible. The young man of the bible who came to Jesus to make inquiry of mem bership among his followers could not be his disciple, although the articles of his creed were many and he had kept the letter of them all, but he was wanting in the spirit of service."

Shepherd, in speaking at the First United Brethren church, Fifteenth and East Morrison streets, yesterday morning on the theme, "Faith On Trial," based on I Peter 1:7, said: "Faith in Christ must be exercised by all who wish to be saved. A true Christian was never known to live without faith, and the trial of their faith was much more precious than the trial of gold. "God has been the source of joy to His followers in every age of the world. The service of God is not dull and monotonous, but joy- iui. li we reel the service of God to be irksome, a greater yoke than we are able to bear, it is because our hearts lean toward the flesh pots of Egypt, or because we de sire to take the world in one hand and Christ in the other. "These people to whom Peter re ferred in this chapter were living to uod in a world of sinful influ ence and therefore not free from temptations which had so great an effect upon them to produce heavi ness or sorrow of heart. These temptations were as varied as their faces and dispositions, and on this account may be called manifold. It is true the Apostle Peter puts a needs be to these manifold tempta tions, but he does not say directly and pointedly that they were neces sary. He merely throws out the suggestion. "If need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold tempta tions.' Believers are thus permitted to suffer to test the genuineness ot their faith. Faith is important; all the other graces are in proportion to- it. A strong faith tends to ani mate hope, to intensify love, joy and zeal for God and His work, to mul tiply peace, to increase patience and long-suffering, and to vitalize the work of grace in the soulV "Christians are not free from temptations because they serve God. Those who entertain the thought that they will get to heaven with out much trouble will sooner or later find out their mistake, for a thousand or more things will arise to vex their soul, weaken their faith, .blight their hope and cause disappointment or grief. All Christ ians have to climb up Zion's hill, which is beset with difficulties. A great deal of grit, determination and exertion is necessary to make pro gress, for the way to the celestial city is upward. Surely our faith is on trial: PASTOR TALKS OF JOXAH Narrative Declared Great Mis sionary Book ot Bible. "Jonah, or What Should Be Our Attitude Toward the Foreigner?" was the subject chosen by Rev. Charles B. Harrison, pastor of the Epworth Methodist Episdopal church, for his morning sermon yesterday. "No book of the Bible has been been the butt of eo much jesting as the book of Jonah," he said. "Many of our teacherB have insisted that the young people must accept this book as actual history. In reply many have thrown tne Bible aside in derision. 'When Jonah is seen to be an allegory, these Intellectual difficul ties disappear and it becomes tne great missionary book of the Old Testament. The author, living about 350 vears before Christ, reproved his countrymen by telling this story of the way God cared for the non- Jew, and thus indicated what the attitude of the Jewish people should be toward them. A missionary im pulse should supplant their hatred for the Gentile. "The Hebrew, neither then nor little since, has learned the author's lesson. Shall I love or hate the foreigner, is an old question. Amer ica has admitted him and then ig iyred him. Undesirable colonies sprung up among, us where there is perpetuated the foreign language, customs and religion. When the war came on we realized America was far from Americanized. Many of our young men could not speak or write our language. "Many of our people did not knew one line of America. They were totally ignorant of her history, ideals and institutions. This eounr try Is benit upon Americanizing or assimilating those now within her borders before the flood gates are opened, if they ever are again. The churches as neyer before are con ducting this Americanization work. The press, T. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus and many other organiza tions are doing a similar work." IT. S. ISOLATION' IS OPPOSED International Y. M. C. A. Official Gives Address to Meeting. America cannot isolate hcVself from the rest of the world, no mat ter how much she wants to avoid entangling alliances, according to C. G. Titus, member of the inter national committee of the Young Men's Christian association with headquarters in New York, who was in Portland yesterday. In an address delivered ata meet ing of men at the local association's auditorium yesterday afternoon, Mr. Titus declared that there was a challenge before all American citi zens to think and live interna tionally. "The day of national isolation passed with the great war," he said. "Today is a new era. We must now go along with the other nations, economically and commercially. Be fore the war the citizens of this country thought in bunches, now they must think for themselves1. And they must think in terms of other nations, other peoples. They must build bridges of friendship so they can meet each other in the future in the brotherhood of peace nd good will."

HILTON -TURVEY. MTSS HENRIETTA MICHAELSEN was heard in a very delightful piano recital yesterday afternoon at the Art museum. Miss Michaelsen has an Indubitably artistic personal ity, which expresses itself in all she plays. Her programme was made up of sharp contrasts, Bach and two modernists, Debussy and Ravel. Miss Michaelsen played both equally well. Her touch, while powerful, is not allowed to dominate to the detri ment of the lighter nuances. It possesses a musical quality, in evi dence in the Bach numbers and the modernist compositions. A more decided contrast can scarcely be imagined than that of the group of seven Debussys and the Italian concerto of Bach, which fol lowed after a short rst for the so- WOOSTER'S Great Variety of General Merchandise 488-494 Washington St. Open Evenings ffp' 0 To assist you in banking.
