32 THE STODAY OREGCXNIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 2S, 1903, ACCURACY UNESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSFUL DRAMA E. H. Sothern Explains an Anachronism in If I "were King." jffm S NOT the portrayal of Louis XI as I an aged man, decrepit and weak, In your play, "I I Were King," an anachronism?" I asked the question yesterday of E. H. Sothern, actor and actor-manager, after the curtain had "rung: down" at the Mar quam yesterday. "Why?" said Mr. Sothern. "Because the same play presents Fran cols Villon, the vagabond poet, as a man of SO, and the King, according to the his tory books, -was not much older." "It may be." said Mr. Sothern. "It may very well be. I would like you to tell Wilson that." Wilson Is the exceptionally capable player cast for the part. But Mr. Sothern continued to ponder on the conflict of dates and his drama himself. "Joseph Jefferson said once," said the man who Insisted on producing "Hamlet"' In New York, when all the managers of theaterdom said nay; "Jefferson said once that a pound of effect was worth a ton of accuracy." And having 'aired my historical knowl edge, gleaned, by the way, that same day from a dusty tome in a dusty library. I was fain to admit that to portray the eleventh Louis of Franco as anything but a whimsical dotard, would have de stroyed the effect of Justin McCarthy's play. "There are many times," continued Mr. Sothern, "and many businesses where It Is often best to bid a quick farewell to accuracy." The years have dealt most kindly with Mr. So them's face and form. With ad mirable forethought the famous actor has eeen to It that the biographical diction aries shall record his birthplace as Eng land, but omit the year In which the natal event occurred. Still, as he has been playing leading parts In America for some 20 years. It may fairly be assumed that he 1b on the melancholy side of 50. Perhaps even he may bo entering upon the sapient and philosophic 60s, but If so It may be concluded only from his record, and not from any physical token. His aquiline face is smooth and full. His step is light, his action vigorous. The mellow voice has all the Are and quick Inflection of a Borneo. His shoes are of a snug and slender cut, betraying none of the tend ency to expansive footwear that the eld erly are wont to assume. In all the little details by which age may be more cer tainly gauged than by the wrinkles around the eye corners Mr. Sothern is still young, and were he to give his age as 40 years and nothing more, the incredulous would bave naught to carp at. "Is it merely a coincidence," I began, "that your leading lady. Cissy Loftus" "Cecilia Loftus," said " Mr. Sothern, thus marking the difference between a vaudeville star and a leading lady. But Cecilia is the famous Cissy, nevertheless, and after apologizing, I proceed with my query. "Is she not, was she not the wife of Justin McCarthy, who wrote the play she now appears In?" "She was. They are very friendly yet. There was no trouble except that they could not dwell In harmony. But they are good friends. Indeed, Mr. McCarthy has written a part for Miss Loftus In his play, "The Proud Prince,' which I will produce next season." That the transmigration of Cissy Lof tus, vaudevilllan, into Miss Cecilia Lof tus, of the uppermost level of the dra matic stage might be more apparent, Mr. Sothern told of his leading lady's tri umphs. "Nearly two years ago," he said, "Miss Loftus was playing with me In 'If I Were King,' in New York. There Sir Henry Irving saw her and Importuned me to lend her to him. I did so, and Miss Loftus played Marguerite In Irving's Faus at his London theater. "When EXHIBIT OF EDUCATION VROFESSOR YOUNG TELLS HOW IT CAN BE MADE A SUCCESS. He Urfjea Teachers to Brenlc Array on Ncrr Lines for St. Louis find Portland Expositions. The following address was delivered by Prof. F. G. Young, of the State Univer sity at Eugene, and a member of the Stato Board of Lewis and Clark Fair Commissioners, at the recent State Teach ers' Institute In this city, the subject be ing, "Oregon's Educational Exhibits at SJ. Louis and at Portland": . I shall try to be frank with the teachers of Oregon In this matter of educational exhibits at expositions. To begin with, I want to con less that I have thought them little less than nuisances to those who had the trouble of their preparation, and as something to be passed by on the other side by exposition visitors. I have recollections rather faint ones of tak ing a peep at the Oregon school exhibit at Chicago in 1803. I can remember that I saw there the attendant all alone In his glory. I have a dim mental picture of rather prominent photographs. I believe I lingered long enough to set my eyes on the exhibit of the school of which I then had charge. I also visited the great exhibits of the Chicago schools, and am lure that there, too, I was not Jostled by the crowd, and that the attendant was not busy, for I engaged him in a long conversation. I believe that this feeling of mine about school exhibits at expositions has been shared with at least nine-tenths of the teachers. At any rate the committee on the educational exhibits of Oregon, at St. Louis in 1KH and at Portland in 1905, has not been besieged by teachers in the ranks eagerly anxious lor the reservation of space for exhibits, or for in structions with which they might immediately enter upon the work of preparation. This un concern on the part of the teachers of Oregon indicates either supreme confidence that they outclass the rest of the world, or that they do not think educational exhibits worth while. It is of course barely possible that I am mis taken as to the regard in which the average teacher holds educational exhibits. Still I have yet to hear of any celebrations, through bonfires or otherwise, because of the announce ment that two grand opportunities for them to exhibit are assured. "Why Former Exhibits Failed. Now. if you and I have been right about this exhibit idea, and if we were sure that we were right, and If we could prove conclu sively that we have been right in regarding educational exhibits as only a botheration and ejn annoyance, if there is nothing in them and If nothing can be put Into them, then I would say drop theax and drop them bo quickly that they would sink out of sight forever. I have enough fellow feeling with the, public schoolteacher, so that I should hate to be a party to any echeme bringing extra torments upon her. But I have been placed under the necessity of looking into this matter of educational exhibits at expositions, and I have some hopes of experiencing a "change of heart" regard ing them, if indeed I have not already done so. I am becoming quite suspicious that your trouble and mine with educational exhibits has arisen out of the fact that such Ideas as we had back of them were wrong ones. Aside from our purpose to enforce with our exhibits the efficiency of some excellent device or meth od and show the results of some effective drills, we were very short on ideas. Educa tional exhibits for a world's fair or for an exposition like that planned for Portland in 1005 do not, however, lend themselves to these rather minor and Individual purposes, as a county fair might. Neither will the ex position visitors nor the exposition Judges be concerned to pass upon the comparative excellence of the results obtained by Miss Jones and Miss Smith' as teachers, or In se lecting the priie- paper from among those of fiuKa-sa&.Job&'Ond Jlsxry-ana eever&l thou "GOOD ACTRESSES ARE VERY SCARCE," SAYS E. H. SOTHERN, - t she returned to America, she played Op helia In my production of 'Hamlet.' " While it was surely not intentional, Mr. Sothern paused before uttering the fateful word, Hamlet, for the Infinitesi mal fraction of a second which lends dignity and pomp to an announcement. He is very proud of having played the greatest of all Shakespearean roles. "Did you not produce 'Hamlet' at your own expense after all the Gotham man agers had refused to do it for you?" "That's pretty much like the truth," said Mr. Sothern. "but Daniel Frohman was the only manager I consulted. He didn't think the public wanted Shake speare. I thought they did, and anyway I wanted to play Hamlet." I asked the actor why he desired. In the face of expert and adverse advice, to play Hamlet. He hesitated, thought a mament, two moments, a minute, then gave it up. "Why. Just to play Hamlet, I suppose," he said. Now this reply may seem at first thought to be feminine and unconvinc ing, but Mr. Sothern explained that ev ery actor of high degree wa? anxious to essay. the part, whose successful portrayal reflected ever after a glory upon Its .ex,-J ppnent. '"In 1905 said he, "I shall join ,.with Julia Marlowe in the production of Shake spearian plays. In these dramas and comedies an actor's work may gain, its sand others. Exhibits for St. Louis and for Portland must represent deeper and more seri ous issues. The' must represent the char acteristic. Ideas and aims of a well-defined school system of a city or of a state. If a state or a city has achieved some Individ uality in the methods, organization, or scope of Its school work, of If It is striving for something higher In any of these directions, the preparation of an exhibit will furnish the most salutary means for letting Its light shins before the world, or for more clearly defining to Itself the problem it has. The problem of an exhibit thus rationally undertaken will stimulate a city and a state school conscious ness as nothing else can. Such an undertak ing calls for strenuous team work, in which the teaching force of the city, county or state. Is the team. If heroically carried through. It cannot fail to develop a sweeping movement for the betterment of our school work as a whole. The preparation of an educational exhibit worth of the name will make an open door for the Introduction of all sound, mod ern, liberalizing and vitalizing' ideas, alms and methods into our school systems. It will of necessity place an always needed emphasis upon the more active, the motor phases of our school work. Education Keystone at St. Lonls. I am well aware that the preparation of edu cational exhibits with the above ends in view would mean an appeal to very different motives in the individual teacher from those which have been uppermost heretofore. It would, however, only be asking the schoolteacher to share in the purposes and have part in tho aims which must dominate the exposition as a whole It It Is to mark an epoch in the up building of all that is good and permanently progressive In the Pacific Northwest. To prove that this Idea of the nature, purpose and functions of our educational exhibit Is not quixotic, I will quote from the prospectus of the St. Louis Exposition. It says: "The de partment of education is made the first depart ment of the classification fn accordance with the theory upon which the entire exposition Is founded. ... Through education man comes to a knowledge of his powers, and or the possibilities of life, and upon it are de pendent the processes which extend through all the fields of Industry. This correlation of the powers .of the brain and of the hand of man, extending throughout the entire ex hibit scheme of the exposition, will, for the first time in the history of expositions, afford a strictly scientific basis for the classification of objects." And again the pamphlet on the educational exhibits says: "Education is given the place of honor in the classification of exhibits, as. In accordance with the theory upon which the classification is based,' to education Is ascribed the source of all prog ress." It further says: "The Educational Building is now nearly completed, and will be ready for the installation of exhibits by Septembex 1. 1003, or eight months prior to the opening of the exposition. It is the first building ver erected at any. exposition solely for educational exhibits. It is situated in the center of exposition activities, at the Junction of the two main avenues, and In general shape resembles .a keystone. ... The building cov ers seven acres of ground." It cost $33Q.O00. Puts Teachers on Their Mettle. The situation then that you confront, as sponsors for the educational exhibits of two rapidly approaching expositions, is ' that the exposition idea, truly conceived, places the school In the position of honor, and calls upon the teaching world by the richness and worth of its exhibit to grace this position. This enthronement of educational work has come about through no sleight of hand, lottery or political Influence. It Is the Inevitable result of the fact that this is an axe of applied (Klence. All fully successful life vocations and lite relations depend upon the preparation given by the schools. But a still higher re eponslbllty rests upon the schools. They have to do not merely wlth the individual, but with society as a whole, and not merely the protection, but the perfection of our Institutions is their true. function. They are to be the main agency In modifying the char acter of society as a whole and In the reali zation of a rationally conceived sjtcl&l ideal. You see, therefore, that you are as teachers in this exposition business with a vengeance, as it were. You are in the midst of turmoil and trouble, not because exposition authorities hftvs Inveigled you lato K or imposed It upon greatest reward, and while a light and frivolous mind ,1s not eager to see these great tragedies. It has been shown re peatedly that the public will very heart ily support a limited number of them. The places of Booth, Barrett and other great masters of the dramatic art are vacant. Their adequate filling will bring pleasure 4o the public, benefit to the stage and profit to them that fill them." Mr. Sothern's valet handed a card to him. "The lady is waiting." he said. "Tell her," said Mr. Sothern. pleasantly, "that I will see her before I leave the theater. In about 20 minute." To me he said: "Most of the cards I re ceive are from ladles who desire to go on the stage. They would like to Join my company. Most of them have had no ex perience and lack all the requisites for a successful actress. They are .uneducated. They cannot speak correctly. Their enun ciation is slovenly, their voice poor, and their presence awkward. If they do not happen to be vulgar in appearance, I am surprised and pleased. They are very numerous, but I see them all or most of them." - "And do you find among them many flowers wasting their sweetness on the desert?" I asked. .. ... Mr. Sothern sighed twice. . "Good actresses are very scarce,' he said. A." C you, but because the course of social evolu tion has placed you there. You can get 'out of this exposition business only by forswearing your Inheritance or relinquishing your pro fession or playing false to your trust. You are in expositions because they are the harbingers' of progress, because life In the school and college Is an integral part the germinal part of the life of the world, and because the teaching In them should have a clearly conceived relation to the life in the world. Exhibit School Life of Oregon. To state the problem specifically that Is be fore the Oregon teachers, I would say that the Oregon youth, whom the teacher Is to put into intimate contact with the world. Uvea here in a peculiar environment. The seasons,' the woods, the mountains and streams, the birds, the flowers, yes, all animal and vege table life, and the conditions of outdoor sport largely, and the past of Oregon, are peculiar, and child life In relation to these Is different from that given in the books placed In hla hands. And further, the life represented In the books, so far as it pertains to man, is not the life of today, if those books were written a score of years ago. Tho problem of an educational exhibit creditable to Oregon and to yourselves in volves the necessity of making your own the full significance of the sound new departures In education and of your realizing and under standing the wealth and individuality of life environment In Oregon and of applying these latest developments of educational science in tho fullest use of the Oregon environment. The results of such work, expressed in all possible forms, arranged to Its best advantage, displayed with all art for effectiveness, would win great credit to 6regon's teachers, and be the greatest boon to all coming generations of Oregon youth. It would do more than any other one means towards the future progress of the state. I say then get Into contact with nature in Oregon, with men and their activities and institutions here and with Oregon's past. Get your bearings fully in the latest developments of pedagogical science and fall In love with your work and with your children. Thus conditioned, you will know what the schools should do for the people of Oregon and how to utilize your opportunities in the educa tional exhibits for the expositions. How to Go About It. To be specific, I should say that there should be named Immediately a Committee on general organization for this work as a whole, who should report to this body before Its adjourn ment nominations for state committees like the following: (1) Committee on nature study and Indus trial work, in the rural and village schools. This committee could -enlist the active cooper ation of the John Burroughs Society, the State Grange, the Agricultural College and such other acencies as they saw fit to aid them in these fields. (2) A committee, on Oregon and local his tory. Institutions and civic improvement. The Oregon Historical Society and no doubt the "Women's Clubs and other organizations would be at the service of the schools In this work. (3) A committee on the cooperation of the school, the home and all other educational agencies, whose work could bs thus made many times more effective than' it now Is. The Brookllne movement, which Is extending all over the country, should, under the stimu lus to activity that we have here, have Its test development right here in Oregon. (4) A committee on the ideal outfit, struc tures, yards and appliances for rural and for -village schools, including provisions for school games, sports and excursions. The play re sources for Oregon schools is & subject of tremendous importance, for such play, as G. Stanley Hall says, is the fore school of co operation and other activities of the higher social state. What would posterity say of a generation of teachers who allowed such opportunities for a grand, united forward movement as we have in these exposition exhibits to go by with nothing more than a programme of narrow and stale commonplaces. Talk of teaching patriot ism! If the youth of Oregon are enlisted into enthusiastic participation In this work, more genuine and lasting patriotism -will be Instilled Into them by thus doing something in a worthy, united effort, than could be taught them, by eons of general verbal ap peals. If the teachers will make a united effort under trusted leadership, there Is hardly any limit to what they can accomplish in the movement. A failure on the part of the educational forces to muster for this work and to organize and lead all other possible educational agencies will mean the relegation of educational agencies .to the rear, and Ore gon will move on, the blind and mercenary leading the blind. The teachers have It in their power to do an Incalculable good to Ore gon In this opportunity. I say they have it In their power, but only on condition of their using their best thought and energies from now on in the workof organization, co-operation and throughout giving dally attention to detail. A system of committees should be carefully developed. They should do what is in them to do towards plansthen bulletins should go out all over the state, rezularly, guiding and spurring to largest effort. TO MAKE THE STREET SOLID East Washington Property-Owners "Want to Have It Filled. East Washington street will be filled up to grade with solid earth, if the bids called for by the Executive Board do not run over the estimated cost of City Engi neer Elliott. He figured that the cost of filling up the street between East Water street and Union avenue. Including the In tersections, should be $13,597. At first It was proposed to rebuild the elevated road way, but at the request of the property owners the City Engineer estimated the cost of making a fill instead of the road way. They seem to be satisfied with the figures, and it la understood if the bills do not materially exceed the estimate the street will be filled. The property-owners on East Washing ton street may make that fill even before East Morrison street, which is a far more important thoroughfare, i3 made a solid roadway. The Improvement will likely re store the prestige of East Washington street. TO ERECT MODERN BUILDING. Frogretis of Improvement on Grand Avenue, Near Morrison. The old pioneer shacks on the southeast corner of Grand avenue and East Alder street are being torn down to .make way for a modern building. The owners of the corner quarter are Lambert & Sargent and J. Helntz, the latter owning the inside lot. They are figuring on the erection of a two-story brick building. Nobody re grets to see the unsightly billboard and shacks that stood on this corner go." The houses were among the first to be built in old East Portland. Lambert & Sargent have contemplated the erection of a handsome two-story building on the corner for a long time, but delayed in order that the full quar ter may be covered. The other quarter on East Morrison street and Grand ave nue Is the property of a company which succeeded the Masonic Building Associa tion, but there is little prospect of its im provement for somo time. Inmah & Poulsen, who purchased three quarters of the block on the southwest corner of Grand avenue and East Morri son street, will cover the ground with a continuous building when the leases of the occupants have expired. Improving Multnomah Addition. In Multnomah addition the Improvement Association has a committee of ten work ing to secure gas mains. Mains will prob ably be laid on Williams avenue and from there west on Shaver street. The associa tion has also taken the first steps for the improvement of Mississippi avenue. The petition for planking has been signed and filed for action with the Auditor. M. E. Thompson says that the City & Suburban Railway Company has agreed to lay double tracks on Mississippi avenue while the Improvement Is being made. These will make a connection with the St. Johns Railway on KUlingsworth avenue. The extension will probably carry the pas sengers from St. Johns, and also result in the junction being moved to -the inter section of Killingpworth ' and ' Michigan avenues. Offered Yale Fellowship. " Clinton Judy, son of Rev. Martin Judy,, of California, formerly of Portland, has' been offered a fellowship in Yale College.
