Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OKEGOMAtf, POKTLAND, JULY 21, 1901. 21 M$SAJ The performance at the Metropolitan to night will close the theatrical season until Autumn. The Wiedemann Company, which for three weeks has held the boards at the popular price playhouse, is not much of a company as far as art is con cerned; but It has amused a great many people, and the specialties It offered -were better than the average. Next time It comes to Portland it will probably do better ditlon of studios here. In more than one instance an entire production has been Yirenared In Eurone and broucht to this country. " A recent combination of managers and scenic artists proposes to obviate the diffi culty under which they have been, labor ing by erecting a large building, in which the work can be done rapidly, comfort ably and thoroughly. Ground has been secured in "West Fifty-fifth street, and a double building, occupying a plot 100 feet square, will be erected. The building will be completed in nine weeks after ground is broken, and it will be occupied almost immediately after. One of the two con. nectlng buildings will be 41 feet high. In which will be the stage for trying scenic effects. The stage will be 48 feet wide, 41 feet deep and will have a proscenium open ing of 32 feet. Over the stage there will be offices for the company. The adjoin ing building, which will be 60 feet in height, will contain a carpenter shop SOx 100 feet, a property room 46v32 feet, and storage rooms for scenery in the basement and on the upper floor. The scene-palnt-lng room will contain eight frames, and there will be a model room, a designing room and all other appurtenancea for a first-class scene-palntlng establishment The company directors are Messrs. George Lederer, D. Frank Dodge, F. C. Whitney, William A. Brady, Charles Blaney and Stanislaus Stange. It was Incorporated in Albany two months ago, with a paid-up capital. Contracts for the buildings have been awarded, and there will be po delay In pushing the con struction to completion. CAREER OF BELASCO OJfCE ACTED MIXOR PARTS ON A PORTLAND STAGE. HENRY MILLER. He Will Present a Fine Repertoire at the Marquam. During his coming engagement, Henry Miller will present, at the Marquam Grand Theater, the following repertoire: Mon day and Tuesday nights, "Heartsease"; Wednesday night "The Importance of Be ing Earnest"; Thursday, Friday and Sat urday nights. "D'Arcy of the Guards." "Heartsease" is a romantic comedy In four acts, by J. I. C. Clarke and Charles Kllen. It Is a costume play of the most effective caliber, and as staged by Henry Miller is one of the most elaborate pro ductions ever seen In this country. The play is Interesting and attractive. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a brlllant comedy from the pen of Oscar Wilde, in which Miller and his associate players give a highly polished comedy performance, and one which proves ex ceptionally acceptable to admirers of bril liant literature on the stage. "D'Arcy of the Guards" Is the latest Miller production, and its success Is 6uch as to warrant the management announc ing it for the final three nights and Sat urday matinee of the engagement "D'Arcy of the Guards" was arranged by Ixmls Evan Shlpman for Henry Miller, and the author has fitted the star with a splendid role as the young Irish officer of the Grenadier Guards on the staff of Lord Cornwallls during the Continental War. The sale of seats has been extraordina rily heavy for the entire engagement, BERNHARDT NEW PLAY. Several American Dramas Going Abroad to Be Actea. (Paris Correspondence of the Chicago Chronicle,) Marlon. Crawford has Just had a play accepted by Sarah Bernhardt and Marcel Schwoob, the author of Bernhardt's ver sion of "Hamlet" has gone to Jersey under Contract to deliver a French ren dering of Crawford's piece on October 1. The subject is a heart romance of medi eval Italy amid surroundings of great splendor, in laces, costumed guards, etc. Bernhardt exacted a pledge that neither an American nor an English production should tike place until she herself had played the piece for three months, but she has since modified her plans by postpon ing htr opening one month In order to make the glamor of her reappearance In Paris after her long absence coincide with the Interest awakened by a Parisian pro duction of an American-written play. Mme. Bejane, tired of the modern things provided by French authors and wishing to duplicate the success she made in the historical drama with "Mme. Sans Gene," has bought a piece entitled "Pompadour," by Charles Frederic Niedllnger, the New York critic. Rosny, the famous novelist, is engaged in translating a play by an American, which Minnie Flske will produce In New York this Fall. The Frencn version opens In November at the Gymnase Theater, with Jane Hading in Mrs. Flske's part Manager Devaul has bought an option of Maude Adims new play by Barrle, which, though Frohman keeps the secret in order t6 create a big surprise, deals with a French subject of the Napoleonic period, like "IAlglon," and needing the same kind of elaborate staging. In an interview in Figaro on the as tounding new regime inaugurated In this sudden demand for the work of American playwrights Allan Dale, who has just ar rived in Paris, says: "It was bound to come; our boys always had more Inven tion and fresher Ideas and you couldn't hope to eternally keep the mysteries of your technique from such a quick and versatile race as ours." George Tyler, manager of the Liebler Theatrical Company, having received here lavorable replies to his overtures from both Gabriel D'AnnunzIo and Eleanora Duse, has gone to Italy to close a contract with that famous couple for their joint appearance in America next Winter. The Liebler Company argue that on account of the sensational lovers' quarrel and rec onciliations of Duse and D'AnnunzIo, they will be the most powerful drawing card It Is possible to Import While Duse has no objection to touring the United States, she was apprehensive that the nature of her relations with D'AnnunzIo were now so well known that their joint appearance would be consid ered a defiance of public morals and be resented vigorously by the American press and public But Tyler was directed by cable to overcome all objection at any cost and both Duse and D'AnnunzIo be ing exceedingly hard up, they finally ac cepted. Charles Frohman announces that during the next season of the Knickerbocker Theater, New York, Maude Adams will produce "As You Like It," playing Rosa lind. Sydney Brough will impersonate Orlando. Old Morality Plays In London. From a London Cable. There was a remarkable dramatic per formance Saturday in the quadrangle of the old Charter House, sacred to the memory of Thackeray and Colonel New come. This was an open-air production of the two oldest morality plays in Eng lish literature. One was entitled "Every Man," and was based on a text found In the library of Lincoln cathedral, and the other was 8 passage from the "Sacri fice of Isaac," taken from one of the Chester series of miracle plays. The mo rality plays were staged with simplicity and costumed from early 15th century tapestries- and from Holman Hunt's Oriental collection. They were acted with dignity and force under the direction of William Poel, manager of the Elizabethan Stage Society. About 20 characters were Imper sonated in the twd plays, and the lines were recited with clearness and fervor. A large audience witnessed this unique entertainment on the site of the old Car thusian monastery, and was Impressed with the dramatic force of 'these medieval plays, designed originally by monks for religious and didactic teaching, but mark ing the humble beginning of English lit erature for the theater. TO PAINT THEATER SCENERY. A Great Workshop to Be Bnilt for Scenic Artists in New York. New York Herald. Ground will be broken in Fifty-fifth street, just west of Ninth avenue, next week, for a great scenic -studio building to be erected by a company formed by Messrs. George W. Lederer, F. C. Whit ney, Thomas Miner, Charles Blaney, B. Frank Dodge. William A. Brady, Max Freeman, Stanislaus Strange and others. The building will contain studios for scenic artists In which they may not only paint the scenery for great productions, but have a stage in which the "set" may be shown with all the effects of light and colors as when presented to the public in a theater. The lack of adequate space in which to paint the -scenery for use In New York theaters has been one of the drawbacks to having productions ready on time, and first nights have so often been deferred on this account in New York that man agers have often found' it necessary to send to other cities to have the scenery prepared because of the overcrowded con- Notes of the Stage. "Whose Baby Are You?" with May Vokes as the star, will be a road attrac tion next season. W. W. Randall is to manage Frederick Warde in his tour of the South and West next season. "Ben-Hur" will be presented in Austra lia, England, the United States and per haps France next season. Sarah Bernhardt's London season has been a flat failure. The Britishers did not appreciate "L'AIglon." Notwithstanding the adverse criticism on the opening night, "The Toreador" has scored a big hit in London. The Rogers Brothers began rehearsals In New York last Tuesday. Next season's company will comprise 80 people. Richard Mansfield will confine his work to the larger cities and long engagements next season, being averse to traveling. M. Coquelln has revived "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in Paris with great success. He has added several new characters to the play. Creston Clarke will produce "Hamlet" the coming season, using the costumes worn in the piece by his uncle, Edwin Booth. The new musical comedy in which Lulu Glaser will star next season will be named "Dolly Varden" by Managor Fred Whitney. Francis Wilson will be the star of "The Strollers" on tour next season. The piece will be altered so as to make the leading role more prominent Helen Bertram has thrown up her part with the Delmar Opera Company in St. Louis and Laura Millard has been en gaged to take her place. The Turkish Minister to England has succeeded in having a piece called "Se crets of the Harem" prohibited in Lon don by the Lord Chamberlain. A play called "Fortune's Bridge," a melodrama supposed to have been written by the late Charles Coghlan, may be given a trial in Denver next month. Should the weather prove at all favora ble it Is expected that a majority of the New York theaters will be 6pened for business by the last of August Madge Lesslng has made a hit in a London music hall singing songs on sim ilar lines to those adopted by Fay Tem pleton at Weber & Fields' last season. DIgby Bell has been engaged to sing the role of Ko-Ko in the Castle Square Opera Company's production of the "Mir kado" at Manhattan Beach next month. The theatrical business in Buffalo has been a decided frost, and several play houses will close down for the Summer. The regular season, Instead of starting August X, will not begin before September. Bertha Clay's "Dora home" has been dramatized and will be presented on the road by two companies next season under th,e management of E. A. Schiller, of Chi cago. George Edwardes, the London manager, insists that he will produce "Three Little Malda" early In the Fall, with Edna May, Ada Reeves and Evle Green in the prin cipal roles. . The latest report from New York Ip to the effect that Sam Shubert, of the well known Shubert Brothers, who control sev eral theaters, is shortly to be married to Lulu Glaser. Viola Gillette, of "The Fortune Teller" Company, which recently closed In Lon don, may go to Australia, as Manager Williamson, of that country, has made her a big offer. Ross Snow w "have the part of Happy Hooligan In the farce corned of that name next season. Walter Jones was spoken of for the part, but Snow's engage ment settles the question. , Jessie Mllward has been kept busy hold ing receptions since her return to Lon don. She (s undecided whether to use "The Climbers" or "In the Palace of the King" as her opening ploce. Sadie Martlnot's play next season will deal with the troubles of a music hall singer who marries a lord. Clyde Fitch Is the author, and Its first production will take place in Philadelphia about Septem ber!. "Maid Ma Mm," a sequel to "Robin Hood," written by Reginald De Koven and Harry B. Smith, will be presented by the Bostonlans next season, the pre mier taking place in Philadelphia about September L Otis Skinner nas secured the rights to George H.

Louis Mann and Clara LIpman threaten to appear in Shakespeare, season after next, Mr. Mann playing Shylock and Miss LIpman Portia. Nat Goodwin is responsible for this. Eddie Foy believes he would like to play Jngomar. Australian theatrical managers are al most pleading for American attractions, and say that almost any attraction from this country can be guaranteed a success in the antipodes. Reports from London and the English provinces say that never before has there been bo many successful American performers playing In England as at the present time. The English peo ple have become tired of the old acta as presented by the English performers and have turned to the Yankees for relief. Always Had a Desire to Be an Actor His Early Life In San Francisco. Doubtless few old Portlanders wilL re member that David Belasco, the famous jriayright, was once a member of a com pany playing at the Oro Flno Theater, stfnre time in the '70s. Belasco was not likely to have attracted much attention In those days, as he was assigned to minor roleB, in which his lines were brief, and his appearance would hardly have excited more than passing notice. It Is safe to say that none of his auditors ever for one moment Im agined that the little, shrinking man be fore them would In the not distant future become one of the most successful dram atists in America, achieving such tri umphs as "The Charity Ball," "The Girl I Lef Behind Me," "The Wife." "May Blossom," "Caprice," "The Heart ot Maryland," "Naughty Anthony," and at tain recognition as a genius in the per fection of realistic stage effects. David Belasco was born In Victoria, B. C, his parents being English Jews. They removed to San Francisco while David was yet a small boy, and he was educated in the public schools in that city. Belas co's career as a playrlght may be said to exemplify the fact that success In life is more than reasonably certain when one follows his most ruling tendency or Incli nation, and does so assiduously. "When a lad he was what is commonly called stage struck, and was a regular partic ipant in t!he literary exercises In the hall In Lincoln School Friday afternoons, and on special occasions. He sometimes took part in a dialogue, but as a rule shone alone on the stage. "The Madman" was one of his favorite pieces, and "The Vaga bond" another. He was very dramatic and forcible In style, but had a disagree, able habit of "chewing" his words when excited and exhibited noticeable manner isms. He was, however, a favorite with She boys, and h's declamations were al ways received with applause. In disposi tion he was quiet and not much given to athletic sports or play. He was fond ot novels. On completing his education Belasco determined to become an actor, and after some solicitation, succeeded In obtaining a chance at the Metropolitan Theater, of which Fred G. Bert was the manager, and here made his initial bow to the public. This was only a transitory opportunity, and he soon afterward made a more de termined attempt, and succeeded in ob taining an engagement at the California Theater, then under the management of John McCullough. David's taste previous ly seemed to have run more In the "heav ies" than otherwise, and It was a great surprise for his friends tb learn when he adopted the stage as a profession, that he intended to endeavor to be a comedian. His stay at the California Theater was short He made his first appearance as a country stable boy. It was an uncouth comedy part, and he was a dismal fail ure. His laugh was a hoarse laugh, and jarred on the ears, and his grins were Mephlsto-llke In their pleasantry. Belasco was genial and sociable enough and his ordinary expression was agree, able, but he was not facially cut out for a comedian. His face when distorted was anything but clown-like, and he was giv en to knitting his forehead very percep tibly. Ho tried a few other things and then dropped out of the company. He next went to the Baldwin Theater, and invariably, when he had nothing else to do, frequented the lbbbles of the the aters, and jt was in those days of his early ambitions that he first came tb Port land. His next visit to Portland was about the year 1B76, when he acted as stage manager at the New Market Theater In the pro duction of "Senator Silver Bags" and "One Thousand Milliners,'' In which Matt Kennedy sustained the principal comedy roles, and Harry Colton was leading man. Belasco did not take part In the perform ances. Belasco appears soon to have realized that as an actor life to him would not be one continuous round of glorious fame and glittering fortune, and that dollars and success must' be found in some other branch of his Chosen calling. He tried playwrightlng, commencing in San Fran cisco in conjunction with James A. Heme. He eventually went to New York and continued to write plays and to direct their original production. How well he has done this the public has Judged. JOHN MILLIKEN. CALVIN HEILIG, Mananer 7tfmRQJK7Ul GRKND CALVIN HEILIG, Manager ONE WEEK, Beginning MONDAY, HENRY M A.

There must be some awful mistake In the figures of the Bureau of Navigation reporting American shipbuilding for the fiscal .year ending July 30, 1901. What's this 1178 vessels built, of 401,000 gross tons? A total tonnage surpassed only twice In our whole history? Why, this cannot be. It has been proven again and again that ships cannot be built In the United States without a subsidy; so how extremely impudent in the Commissioner of Navigation to declare that they are being built in greater numbers than for many years. This Is very near giving Hanna the lie direct, and we think that the Commissioner should be removed at once. Certainly "the good of the ser vice" would seem to require such a step, or else the violent shutting up of tho shipyards whose owners are insolent enough to build ships after Frye had conclusively demonstrated to them that they could not do it. Anyhow", it is a comfort to know that the subsidy bill will be pushed next winter. Depew has said that he will ignore the ships and the facts, and declare again that all our yards will rot and our flag disappear from the ocean unless subsidies be granted. The greater the number of ships built without a subsidy, the more power ful the argument for the subsidy. But, really, the figures ought to be suppressed. Lesson In the Pythian Scandal. Chicago Tribune. Apart from any result which may come from tho Investigation now under way there Is a plain lesson to be learned from the scandal In the management of the financial affairs of the endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias.

"Who ever may bo found responsible for the large shrinkage In the funds of the or der, It Is certain that It would have been discovered long ago and checked if the officers of tho order had not been given almost unlimited power or if their finan cial accounts had been regularly audited by outsido expert accountants. Experi ence has demonstrated the folly of putting It in tho power of any one man for a long period ot time to do as he pleases with large sums of money which do not belong to him. Particularly should great care bo exercised in the handling of funds In-, tended for the support of people who may have no other resources. It Is not a diffi cult matter to surround the management of such funds with safeguards that will make long-continued carelessness or 313-" honesty impossible. Every organization which holds in Its keeping" money Intend ed for widows and orphans should sea ta It that such safeguards are provided. The Pythian order Is not the first so ciety to suffer from overconfldence in the honesty or sound judgment of men it trusted, and It is to be feared it will not bo the last to suffer thus.

An addi tional attraction also la the merry-go-round, which has been secured by special permission from the authorities. A baseball match be tween the Stephens' Addition and "Woodmen ot the World nines has also been arranged to contribute to the pleasure of the occasion, and the street-car company has agreed to have ample cars on hand to accommodate the crowd.
