It did not take long for the Marquam's Monday-night patrons to rally from their feeling cf aggrieved disappointment at the double dose of understudy to which they were so unexpectedly treated In The Three "Musketeers." Tuesday night saw a very much moro contented crowd of playgoers. But for a man Just re covering from an attack of heart disease, that flying leap through the window. In the seventh tableau, seemed a bit haz ardous. And his wife, in the role of Lady de "Winter had very good reason to look unc. .able as she stood there, white trembling, amid the whirr of bunt, is and tho slashing of swords. An unknown actor, or one new as a star. In a well-known play, has such odds against him as to entitle him to generous treatment at the ands of a critical pub He Harry Glazier has less need of this gentle consideration than some other ty ros in famous roles who have come to us more loudly heralded than he. As the hero of romantic drama, he has several points In his favor a handsome, broad shouldered, sinewy stage presence: a fair mastery of stage art: an easy way of making pretty, chlvalrlc speeches to grand dames, and deftness with his sword, In killing troublesome people who get In his way. He has also that contagious freshnr;s of fancy and frank ingenuousnerv of manner that go so far toward t.-.ming the unreal into the real. This outhfuI naivete and gallantry are the essential parts of his equipment for the role of the reckless, loyal young guardsman half boy, half man that-Dumas has made so famous. Of course, we hardly expect him to rise to tho full height of t,he situation, with that power for making "points" that O'Neill and the late Salvinl showed in the same role: nor do we look for their superb plcturesqueness of pose. The support was uniformly good. Vail de Vernon made a particularly wily and unscrupulous Lady de Winter, with that . touch of bitterness that kept it from seeming unnatural. John Barrett. In the red robe of' Cardinal Richelieu, lent the necessary atmosphere of intrigue to the play.. Blanche Stoddard was queenly and beaultful In the rolo of Anne of Austria. "Warren Hill had an oasy part as the weak King Louis, and Lawrence Under wood, Thomas Flndlay and L. G. Ingra ham played the roles of tho three mus keteers with slashing gallantry and swagger. The Boston Lyrics. It Is hard to take the Boston Lyric Op era Company seriously. The very thought of their good-humored antics and gay splurge of nonsense banishes gravity. Some of their fun-making was meant to be funny and some of It was not. But where is the cynic who cannot forgive an occa sional faux pas from such hard-working, happy-go-lucky merrymakers as these? So rang as the company is wiso enough to keep within the limits or comic opera, they will have appreciative audiences. Some of the voices are remarkably good and some of them atrociously bad. The choruses were given with snap and verve, showing the influence of an excellent musio director. The notable improvement in Mr. Car dray's orchestra deserves special com ment. Tho repertory this past week, em bracing six different operas, besides the half-hour of music before each evening's programme, thoroughly tested its capac ity for work and proved that it is now one of the best theater orchestras that Portland has ever known. Domenlco Russo, the new tenor, has one of those fresh, limpid, flawless voices that apparently belle the statement so often made nowadays regarding Italy's lost art of producing singers. It is a voice that is the product of climate and language, rather than of method. Its purity, smooth ness and sureness of tone are beyond ques tion, but in that appealing sweetnets which takes hold of the heart-strings, hli volie is not equal to Agostlnl's, of ihe Italian Opera Company, which gavo such delight to Portland music-lovers a few years ago. Slgnor Russo is but 24 years old. and sings with buoyant enthusiasm and abandon, but without real dramatic power. Interest naturally centered in his Turlddu, the role which we are told he created for Mascagnl's "Cavalleria Rus- tlcana," but except for an added note of scorn to poor Santuzza, he was the same in this role as in that of Manrlco. or Faust. Dramatically, he loses in force because of his short stature. Its Heat "Work. The most effective work of the company as a whole was thrown into "11 Trovatore" and, "La Mascotte." to the former opera, Miss Maud Leekley gave a particularly successful portrayal of Azucena, the Gypsy, while In the latter, John Hender son and George Kunkel, as the prince and the fanner, kept the house In an uproar of merriment. Josephine Stanton's true, well-modulated voice makes her a valua ble comic-opera prima donna: as Bettlna, the humor she put into that quarrel wth PIppo-was certainly piquant, and in "Said Pasha" she made a winsome Serena. In the role of Marguerite, in "Faust," she sang her part admirably. But with the one exception of George Kunkel, as Me phisto, all the characters were weak and colorless in "Fautt," the only grand op era that was given If we accept the dic tum that "11 Trovatore" is melodrama run mad. Mr. Kunkel surprised even his best friends by his clever Impersonation cf the "arch fiend." that scene wherein te cowers back from the cross on the hilt of the soldiers' swordi being a particular ly successful bit of acting. The company as a whole were not equal to the dif ficulties of Gounod's score. Cuts were made with careless hand. Tho impres sive church scene was omitted, and Val entine's noble Invocation of the cross. There were long waits between acts and occasional signs of bewilderment, while tho opera was In progress. Harry Ratten berry. in the role of Valentino, unwit tingly afforded amusement in his death scene, which gave indications of. betas o struggle with embonpoint, rather :haa with the dark angel.

Of the many articles that appear from time to time in the current press on "The Church and the Stage." I hive made extracts from a few that I thought the most Interesting. They are the views expressed by both minister and actor. Rev. T. DeWltt Talmage has this to say, in the Christian Herald: "God has; not only Implanted this dra matic element In your natures, but in the Scriptures he cultivates it: he appeals to it; he develops it. I do not care where you open the Bible, you will fall upon a' drama.. Because the drama has, again and again, been degraded and employed for destructive purposes, is nothing against the drama. If you have not known men and women connected with the drama who are pure in heart and pure in speech and pure In life. It Is "because you have not had a very wide acquaintance." Tho Actors Society, of America, on Oc tober 1, 1K-S, sent forth an appeal to the clergy, to assist in suppressing Sunday performances. Following are extracts from the letter: "For many years the actors have pre tested against Sunday theatrical perform ances, as an usurpation of right enjoyed by all other citizens a right to one dsy of rest In seven. The Sunday theatrical performance Is such a radical wrong, so demoralizing, not only to the actors, but to the community in wtecn the perform ance is given, that we think it should be 31155 JOSEPHINE STANTON AND 511:15 .NELLIE ANDREWS, ITIIJIA DONNE OP llOSTON LYRIC OPERA COMPANY.

Frank Daniels made an experiment re cently at Wallack's. New York, calculated, to set at roet arguments as to the most valuable form of advertising. Speaking of It the comedian said: "As everybody with eyes roust know, theatrical organizations pay out a fortune every year for advertising. This adver tising takes many forms newspapers, bill boards, lithographs in windows, elevated railroad stations,' postal-cards, ftrcet-cara and a hundred and one other things sup posed to catch the eye of the public. "There was a pretty warm argument the other night In my dressing-room over the best form of advertising. I didn't take part, because I knew It would result as I had heard the same argument result many times before. But the next day I con sulted my manager, Klrke La Shelle. and we concluded to test the thing by the only reliable means. So that night, between the acts, ushers distributed among the audi ence clips with a brief printed statement, setting forth the disputed question and politely asking the recipient to Indicate by a check marie, In the list of various advertising forms employed, which one had attracted him to the performance the "cd" In the newspaper, the billboard!, window lithographs or something cl;e. "Well, the people seemed to take kindly to the Idea, and the resp-nee was most liberal. Eleven hundred llp were hand ed to the U3hers nfler the next curtain, and of that number 991 showed that many of the 1100 had been attracted by the newrpapers solely. Henceforfh." the comedian concluded, "the newspapers will get ten-elevenths of all the money Man ager La Shelle sets aside for advertising purposes." Something Wrong;. The extraordinary rpectacV Is again pre sented of a man (Edwa'd E. Rice) who has swept the country with dozens of suc cesses, who has had In his employ pretty nearly every star who now treads the boards, at some period or another, and yet who. after a quarter' of a century of managing really big things. Is so poor that he Is compelled to appeal to the sympathy of his former employes to help him out of the ho!e of financial desuetude. Th!s man has In his lifetime spent over J1.CO3.C0O on scenery alone, not to speak of salaries, costumes and ra'lroad fares, which would very easily amount to J3.000, 000 more, and yet not a dollar of It all ha? clung to his own hands.

Brooklyn Citizen. Actresses nave to Paint. "It Is a mistaken Idea that actresses are as a rule handsomer on the stage than off," writes Franklin Fyles In the Ladles' Home Journal. "The reverse is as likely to be true. Nevertheless, all theatrical faces have to ba painted. It may be as sumed safely that none of the complexion Is genuine.

As the date of the bench show approach es, and the fact becomes more known that the Kennel Club has opened an offlce for Superintendent J. W. Burrell, fanciers are becoming Interested and. Judging from the numerous inquiries from those think ing of placing their dogs on exhibition, the show will be a success, numerically. In an Interview, Mr. Burrell made some time ly suggestion? and pertinent remarks as to preliminaries. He states that there are a number of dogs, from hto observation in his short stay In the city, belonging to local men which are fine thoroughbreds, but their owners seem to be entirely unconscious oi me iac so any one wisning rma- tion regarding the quality or form of their dog for the bench, or regarding the filling up of entry blanks, he will furnish It as far as he Is able. He recognizes the fact that this is the first bench show for Portland, and Is practically a venture, and the following up of this worthy enterprise will depend more or less upon the en couragement to this show. Being a new undertaking, he finds that the management Is sadly handicapped In not having ad. . dresscs ot fanciers, who would otherwise ,celve entry bIanka and prCmlum lists, T. , .... ... , n i....-. ..,.
