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-

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.

Can It Be Possible?
New York Evening Post.
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.

and emphasizes what should have been
universally recognized long ago. "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.
