V,Jm Xi&X THOSE: who have followed the career of Howard Russell since he first "joined on" with the Baker players feel toward him as though he were a Portland' product. They have watched the youtig actor develop year after year and have grown very fond of him. Lately ' It appears that he possesses versatility beyond the mere acting of parts, and Is a writer as well. He has built a play, pronounced by those who have seen it an excellent piece of dramatic literature. Its first production will be given this aft ernoon at the Baker, and It is needless to say. will be watched with keen inter est. Mr. Russell's many friends hope and believe that "The Swindler" will prove all that Is expected of It. As last week, the Hcillg will continue dark, so far as traveling attractions are concerned, the dreariness being scheduled to continue until the very last of the month, when W illiam Collier and his new farce, "Caught In the Rain," will dis port. A big event at the close of the sea son will be Robert Mantell's week ot classic repertoire. May Robson is also coming in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt , Mary" and then the blinds go up until September. ; The Armstrong 'Company will offer a '. new musical show, "General Mix-up," at ' the Star this afternoon and through the ; week. The Lyric will continue this aft- ernoon in "Held by the Enemy," but will change to "Capital Against Labor" tomor- ; row night. The Blunkall-Atwood Com ' pany has already met with great success , here and is firmly established In local favor. At the Oaks, the sympony con certs under the direction of Herr Walde mar Lind are attracting appreciative aud j lences and setting an absolutely new pace In the matter of park music. This feature will be a strong attraction for this aft ernoon. Tonight at the same place the ! Allen Curtis Company will produce "The ' Jolly Widow." ' The usual vaudeville offerings at the Orand and Marquam today, changing to ; morrow afternoon. 'THE SWINDLER" AT BAKER llrst Performance of Howard Rus sell's New Play. The first performance on .any stage of Howard Russell's new play, "The Swin dler," will be given by the Baker Stock Company, of which he has been a popu lar member since its beginning, at the matinee today, and the play, which is eald to be a highly interesting one, will continue to be the attraction all week. It Is a society story, with scenes laid In New York. The first act shows the In terior of the large piano establishment of John Elliott, late in the afternoon. Here the principal characters are intro duced. Arthur Starlnger Is a handsome, well-bred young society man. In love with Elliott's niece, the beautiful Helen Ainfley. Elliott also has a son, who is a worthless sort of cub, and a very charming daughter. i As the plot develops. Staringer turns out to be a cold-blooded adventurer, and Induces young Elliott to forge his father's name to a large check, which brings about serious complications, be cause of the effort to shield him and the family from disgrace. Staringer's love for Helen meanwhile has been bringing about a great change In the man, which reveals Itself later on, and places his character In a different light. Of course the play is along the order of "Raffles," "A Social Highwayman" and others of like class, but has a happy ending and leaves the audience with a feeling of complete satisfaction that everything came out for the best. The Baker Company is cast as follows: Arthur Starlnifer George Alison y?oru Stanley ...Donald Bowles John Elliott Alexander Dale William Elliott Jamn Rleason Henry Altman William Oleason Xerton William Wolbert John K. B. Bradbury -Serfceant of Police Earl D. Dwlre "Buddy" EUlaton Mamie Haslam "Williams R. E.

Brady Mlna. Crollus Gleaon Mrs. Elllston - Lucile Webster "GENERAL MIX-UP" AT STAR Musical Comedy and Vaudeville Fea- ' tures on Xew Bill. "General Mix-Up" will be In command of the fun forces at the Star Theater this week. "General Mix-Up" is a mus ical comedy with a military background, which the Armstrong company will play all week, starting this afternoon. Any one who cannot laugh at this entertain ment should lose no time In consulting a physician, as there must be something wrong. Besides the musical comedy Itself, there will be vaudeville specialties thrown in for good measure. The special supple mental vaudeville feature will be Black and Miller, who are comedy knockabout artists, who come to Portland with the highest testimonials from an admiring and enthusiastic public. Those who have not yet visited the Star Theater since it became the home of musical comedy may rest assured that it is a treat to see the attractions which the Armstrong company are playing. The company is blessed with comedians who know their business and understand the gentle art of making the public laugh. To these may be added a bunch of as pretty, vivacious and charming chorus girls as ever escaped from Broad way to visit the Coast. "General Mix-Up" is thoroughly mili tary and there are enough jokes on the army to make even an enemy laugh. The way the musical comedy deals with mil Stary life is amusing at all times, and never offensive. There will be a gener ous supply of songs interspersed and these will strengthen an already . strong show. There are three performances every day at the Star Theater. A matinee is given and the night performances , begin promptly at 7:30 and 9:15 o'clock. 'CAPITAIi AGAINST IiABOR Blunkall-Atwood Company in Indus trial Drama at Lyric. The third week of the engagement of the justly popular Blunkall-Atwood stock company at the Lyric will be devoted to the powerful Industrial drama, "Capital Against Labor." The play is one that is bound to arouse a great deal of discus sion, treating as it does of the most vital question now before the American peo ple, the labor problem. Some of the situations are realistic In the extreme, the plot moves swiftly to a final climax of wonderful power. The characters are all drawn closely to life and may be accepted as typical of the men and women who are today leading in the industrial movements of the coun try. The romantic element is not sacri ficed in any degree and a charming love story, in fact, two of them, as well as a vein of delicious humor add to the at tractiveness of the drama a final touch. The Blunkall-Atwood Company has so firmly established itself here during its brief stay that it is now a fixed theat rical institution. Its work will stand comparison with the very best acting or ganizations and as a popular price com pany it has no equal. The individual members have been selected with much care for their respective fitness for the roles that are entrusted to them. The leading people, Erwln L. Blunkall and Lyllian Atwood, rank at the head of the BAKER STOCK COMPANY WILL GIVE PLAY BY YOUNG AUTHOR "The Swindler," hy Howard Knssell, Will Be Presented In Its Initial Production at Today's Matinee. THE Baker Stock Company will give the initial performance on any stage this afternoon of Howard Russell's new play, "The Swindler," and great Interest Is taken in the success of this ambitious young actor's first produc tion. Earlier in the season Mr. Russell announced the production of a play, but the event was indefinitely postponed and he went to work with new seal and ambi tion to get another play ready before the close of the season. He worked night and day, with the result that 'The Swindler" Is now ready to present today, end it will continue all week. Few playwriters outside of New York ever have had a better company to pre sent their first effort. Mr. Russell has been a member, and a popular one, of the Baker company from its very begin ning, and every one takes more than casual Interest in the success of his play. Nothing has been left undone to make it go, and from the way it has been re hearsed rnere is every reason to believe that it is going to receive the sincere ad miration and applause of Portland theater-goers from the standpoint of its merits alone, regardless of the great friendship the public may have for its young au thor. A -sketch of "The Swindler" will be found in another column. It is practically the flrs't time a play written by a pro fessional for strictly professional pur poses has ever been given its premier pro duction in this city. If it is a success, it will no doubt be offered to stock compa nies all over the country. As Mr. Rus sell and the Baker company are favor ably known from one end of the land to profession. Gracie Plaisted, the delight ful ingenue, has a reputation for artis tic merit as wide as the country. Charles Schad is a comedian who has won a fine reputation and so with the entire persoii ell of the organization. - WILLIAM COLLIER IS COMING Favorite American Comedian Will Present "Caught in the Rain." Charls Frohmam will present William Collier, the funniest comedian in Amer ica, in "Caught in the Rain," acknowl edged the best farce comedy in years, at the Heilig theater, 14th and Wash ington streets, Friday and Saturday nights, June 26-27, with a matinee Saturday. The play was written by Mr. Collier and Grant Stewart, and ran an entire season at the Garrick theater in New York. Great as was Mr. Col lier's success in "The Dictator" and "On the Quiet," it has been even greater in "Caught in the Rain." Charles Frohman has surrounded Mr. Collier with a company of exceptional merit. It Includes Albert Perry, John Saville, Reginald Mason, William H. Post, Charles Poore, Thomas Beaure gard, Thomas Martin, John Adams, Emmett N. Whitney, Ah Sam. Ellen Mortimer, Helena Collier-Garrick, Jane Laurel and Anne Bradley. "Th Henrietta" Xext Week. One of the best known and most popular plays on the stage is "The Henrietta," which the Baker Stock Company will present for the week following Mr. Russel's play "The Swindler." "The Henrietta" will open next Sunday, and it will be the closing bill for several members of the com pany this season. There is to be only one more week following it before the season ends, and that last week will be devoted to a musical Hoyt farce. Robert Mantell Coming. The celebrated and distinguished actor, Robert Mantell, supported by an excel lent company of players, will present a Shakespearian repertoire of plays at the Hellig Theater, Fourteenth and Wash ington streets, beginning Monday even ing, June 29, and continuing throughout the week. PANTAGES SHOW AJ MAKQCAM Fine New Bill Promised for the Week .Opening Tomorrow. The stellar bill at the Marquam Grand theater last week, when the Pantages circuit presented Robert Fitz simmons and his charming wife, will be equalled if not surpassed during the ! fct Howard Russell, Actor and Play wright. the other, more than passing attention will be paid it. If it fails to come up to expectations, it will not be from lack of knowledge of the art of stagecraft or of exceedingly hard and earnest work on the part of the author. : v ;l I ; lx v : i ! coming week, when, commencing to morrow afternoon, an entire new pro gramme will be offered. The act which will undoubtedly prove the hit of the season is the spe cialty known as "The Ten Colored Knights." This act is a decided nov elty in vaudeville lines, for it' com prises a troupe of ten colored singers, dancers and monologuists, all of whom have scored successfully in various minstrel troupes. These men have an act absolutely new and should be seen to be appreciated, for all the advance press notices speak of their return in the highest praise. Next week's bill. In reality, has two top line attractions, for in addition to the colored knights. Monsieur Torcat and his trained rooster specialty is one of the most costly vaudeville turns on the stage today. In this unique pro- COOL DISHES TO TEMPT JADED APPETITES ON SUMMER DAYS Lilian Tingle Tells Housewives Many Ways in Which Ice Cream Freez ers May Be' Called Into Service. BT LILLIAN TINGLE. THE family ice cream freezer and the ' boy small or large who ja usually inviegled into cracking the ice and turningethe crank, have had a compara tively easy time of It so far this year. But with the promise of "real warm weather" ahead of us, the wise housekeep er will see to it that both of these useful articles are in good working order and are kept actively and beniflcially employed In the making of various cool dainties. l me miming ui vauuuo During the coming months, most people will agree with the proverb-maker who says: "Better is a dinner of herbs (if the salad dressing is well made) and a frozen dessert, than much stalled ox and many hot puddings and pies." Everyone knows how to make ordinary ice cream In an ordinary freezer, but not so many people realize that there are a large number of acceptable frozen dishes parfaits, mousses, souffles and puddings, both rich and plain, that can be made without stirring and are. therefore, useful where a crank freezer Is not available or convenient. A pail of Ice and salt; a mold, or even a baking powder or coffee can with a well fitting lid, and a certain amount of fore thought, are the chief requisites, apart from the actual ingredients of the dish to be frozen. Usually, though not inva riably, whipped cream or egg white Is folded into such dishes; or a little gela tine is added to give "body" to the com pound and prevent too speedy melting. The prepared mixture is placed in the mold and covered, first with paraffins paper, then with the lid. If there are any doubts as to the tightness of the latter, a strip of muslin may be dipped in melt ed fat and wrapped round the outside. You then bury the mold in a pail filled with equal parts of ice and salt, and set it aside, to freeze undisturbed, for two to four hours, according to size and the nature of the material. You have no more responsibility in the matter until the time comes for unmolding and serv ing. If you have a "hay box" or "flreless cooker," with a large-size cooking pail for soups and pot roasts, you can utilize this very conveniently and with excellent results, since the packing of non-conducting material, planned to keep in heat, will also serve to keep it out. In fact, it is perfectly possible, with a well-made hay box to cook soup in one compartment and freeze a mousse in the other. For the same reason, the hay box is. In the ab sence of ice or a refrigerator, the very best place in which to deposit a brick of ice cream which may have to wait a while before serving. If you have no hay box, you can make these unstirred creams all the same, but a little more ice will be needed. Equal parts of ice and salt are used In order to hasten the freezing. Three to, one is a better proportion for crank freezers where a smooth cream is re quired, though two to- one is used for "frappes" and "granites." where a gran ular texture is desired. A mousse or par fait is kept from being granular, in spite of the large proportion of salt, by the use of the whipped cream or egg white al ready mentioned. Here are a few typi cal recipes wfelch can be varied consid erably as to flavor -and style of decoration and service. Mousse To one pint double cream take three-fourths cup powdered sugar (or one cup, if liked quite sweet or where a rath er acid fruit juice is used), one-quarter teaspoon salt and one cup fruit Juice (such as grape, strawberry, raspberry or cherry juice) or one cup sherry, if ap proved. Beat until firm, turn into a auction Monsieur Torcat is assisted by Mile. Flor d'Aliza, a cultured, attrac tive and vlvaoious little comedienne, who has scored innumerable hits be fore the footlights of Paris and other European centers. This act has but recently been imported from Europe and has scored decisively wherever presented in this country during the short period Torcat and hs assistant have toured the United States. In addition to the topliners the Mar quam will present one of the very best Hebrew comedians now before the American public. This is Joe Morris, who has earned fame from Maine to California as one of the most pleasing entertainers in vaudeville. His act is high-class and utterly free from the vulgar or coarse impersonations usu ally prevalent In roles of this char acter. Mme. Johanna Kristoffy, is an oper atic prima donna, said to possess a marvelous voice. Carl Berch and Com pany will present a comedy sketch. Jean Wilson will render a new illus trated song, and the biograph will pre sent the latest In moving picture films, Today will mark the last opportunity of seeing Bob Fitzsimmons. TRAINED BIRDS AT THE GRAND Well-Balanced Bill Offered for the Week Opening Tomorrow'. When it comes to selecting acts for the Grand, Sullivan & Consldine spare no expense. This accounts for the many superior vaudeville attractions which are given at this home of pleasure. The new programme, which begins Monday after noon, will be up to the well recognized chilled mold and pack in Ice and salt, as described, for three hours. Raspberry, strawberry or peach pulp is often used instead of strained Juice. The juice of half a lemon, added to each cup of Juice or pulp, greatly Improves the flavor. A little gelatine, one teaspoonful to the quantity given above, may be used, in which case the mixture is put together exactly like a Bavarian cream. Do not use too much gelatine, in the hope of hastening matters, or the mixture will not freeze well. Such a cream may also be flavored with chocolate or caramelized i navorea witn cnocoiaie or caramenzea I sugar instead of fruit, or half a cup of MME. FLOR D'ALIZA, 4 5 ' ' it V - , " ' v w r " i k y - j t , , ; .;- . ; V ' . - yJ' -y T w - r HSJK At ' - - - - c J1 ' i . i- H' . 7 standard of this theater, and will con tain acts which will delight both young and old. Trained hirda ira always popular ana one of the largest troupes of educated feathered creatures are under the direc tion of Marzlla. The Marzella birds are known wherever there is a first-class vaudeville theater in the Bast or Europe. They have been secured at an immense salary to visit the facinc uoasi, am head the programme at the Grand. This act every child should w-itness. The spe cial added attraction will be as good as the headliner. It will xbe the Webb Ro malo troupe of novelty equilibrists and acrobats. The troupe consists of three men and a woman. "Out All Night" could not be the title of anything but a comedy sketch. Hutch inson and Balnbridge will produce it. Those who have seen "Out All Night" declare that it is one of the funniest sketches they ever saw. and that it lives iiD to the title. Another acrobatic spe cialty will be that of Marzello and his wife, who are comedy gymnasts and ex perts on the bar, as well as performing some tumbling feats of daring and skill. Those eccentric singing and talking comedians, Fitzgerald and Wilson, will occupy the stage for several raynutes to the entire satisfaction of all who enjoy fun. Bert and Lottie Walton will show how to be graceful on roller skates, and all who are interested in this fad will want to see what they can do. They also sing and dance and do acrobatic whirls. Fred G. Bauer will render the latest illustrated song In his rep ertoire and F. F. Montressa will ex hibit something new in the way of motion wave pictures. Today will be the last of the present big bill, which is headed by the Glee sons and Houlihan, the premier danc ing act. "JOLLY WIDOW" AT THE OAKS Allen-Curtis Company in Latest Mu sical Burlesque. The stellar event at .the Oaks this week will be the Allen Curtis musical comedy company in the breezy and tuneful hodge podge, "The Jolly Widow." The success which this brilliant company has attained since coming here has been something phenomenal .and the! big airdome at The Oaks is crowded to its capacity at every performance. The prospects for the com ing week are more flattering than ever and if "The Girl" was a hit, "The Jolly Widow" will be a scream. There isn't enough plot to bother about. For in Sum mertime, plots are like clothes, the less of them the better. In this instance the play has no more plot than the most of the Weber-Fieldian musical farces. It is simply a whirl of tuneful music, grace ful dancing, pretty girls in stunning cos tumes and hilarious fun-making. Allen Curtis, the distinguished com edian, plays the Hebrew character and being one of the greatest exponents of this line of acting in America, he will do full Justice to the part. Arthur Clamage will have the Putch. and Albert Leonard the Irish comedy parts. Herbert Lind ley will play Klondike Mike, Violet Mc Court, the prima donna, will have the title role, while that winsome soubrette, Wini fred Green, will continue to delight the patrons. The dashing chorus will be at its best. And among tho new song hits that will be introduced will be "I Want to he a Jolly Widow," "I'd like to Find the Man That Wrote the Merry Widow Waltz." "In Monkey Land," "Carissima" and others. It will be a great show. "Held by the Enemy" Today. There will be a matinee performance of "Held by the Enemy" at the Lyric this afternoon, and tonight the run of the piece will end. The Blunkall-Atwood company has scored a great success in thiB bill and no theatergoer can afford to miss it. clear strong coffee may take the place of the juice. A little vanilla is an improve ment to all these flavors, and shredded almonds or other nuts would be a suitable addition or garnish for the first two named. For parfaits, generally speaking, whipped egg white is used as well as cream. These tend to freeze less readily than a mousse, and need to stand at least four hours. They are delicious, but do not slip from the mold very easily, for which reason they are often served with an outer coating or mold-lining of sher bet or jelly, or they may be frozen aod 6erved in small paper cases. White parfait (Used alone or as a foun dation, with different flavors and trim mings). Boil one cup sugar and one-third cup water to a thread: .pour upon the beaten whites of two eggs, beat as for white frosting. When cold fold in one pint cream, beaten stiff, and one teaspoon vanilla. Pack in molds and freeze four hours. Sunshine parfait is another useful foun- AT THE MARQUAM. dation. In this four to six egg yolks are substituted for the two whites. You pour on the syrup as above and then cook the mixture In a double boiler until thick, before beating, cooling, and adding the cream. Maple syrup Instead of sugar syrup gives a delicious mixture. Six or eight egg yolks are often vued for this. A little unfrozen, whipped cream can be reserved for a garnish. A good "Biscuit Tortoni" is made from sunshine parfait with the addition of half a cup each of nuvaroon and lady linger or sponge cake crumbs, sifted. Pack the mixture m individual paper cases, sprinkle with chopped nuts, cover with paraffins paper, enclose in a tin box or mold and freeze four hours. These parfaits are extremely rich: as a atrast, take the following plain frozen pudding: Take one quart rich milk, two tablespoons of rice and sugar to taste. Cook until thick and creamy in the oven or flreless cooker. When cold flavor and pack in ice and salt for three hours. Serve with fruit sauce or whipped cream. Nothing could be simpler; but it is very nice. Make It rather sweeter than if It were to be eaten hot. A whipped eag. white, folded Into the cold mixture, makes it lighter for freezing, and. ot course, many different "trimmings" can be used. Ihe Chaperon" by St. Helens Hall Girls N EVENT looked forward to with r much pleasure by everyone Inter ested in St. Helen's Hall, is the play given annually by the oratory" class. This season Miss Carter presented her girls In a three-act comedy, "The Chaperon," which was splendidly staged. The plot was appropriate, as it In troduced various incidents in boarding-school life. Everyone taking part deserves great credit for the true, girlish spirit with which she portrayed the character. Those to be especially praised are: Rowena Berry, V'ieve Cecil, May Walther, Hazel Kennedy. Lucy Powell and Emily Beatty carried out the comedy element capitally anil deserved well the applause which greeted them. The self-denying char acter of the Gypsy was effectively held throughout the play by Dorothy Huber. The picturesque part of Jill was charmingly taken by Marguerite Gaffney. Nina Darroch, the French madamolselle, showed considerable talent; and the Chaperon, Constance Guerrier, made her part delightful to the audience, in spite of the fact that they found it difficult to hear her. She was not alone in this, however, sev eral of the cast kept their voices to themselves. The marked finish in stage business and in the forming of stage pictures, which is seldom seen in amateur per formances, showed that the girls had not only been carefully coached, hut that their oratorical training at St. Helen's Hall has given them an ease and naturalness of manner which in stage life, as in real life, is most de lightful.

Marguerite Gaffne IS FRIEND OF AMERICA Son of 1.1 Hung Chang Progrcsslv of Pronounced Type. LONDON. June 13. (Special.) Li Cliing Fong, the adopted son of Li Hung Chang, is undoubtedly the most talked-of man in London today, perhaps more because ot the fame of his father than because ol any achievement of his own. He is one of the richest men in the world and al though he does not even know himself how much he is worth, it is generally be lieved that his fortune is not less than $30,000,000 and his annual income over $3,500,000. He likes London very much, although he says he would prefer to live in the United States, where he thinks his coun trymen need him more and where he could do more to overcome the general prejudice against them. He has a very vivid recollection of the States, for hfl accompanied Li Hung Chang on his famous tour of the world, which included a trip from New York to San Francisco. This is not his first post in London (ho Is Ch'nes Ambassador now). Eighteen years ago he served as first secretary to the Chinese Legation and at that timn he astounded the diplomatic world by his mastery of English which he had been taught at home by his father's physician, William Petrlck, an American who also is responsible for his modern political views. Baron Li is a man of great culture, very well versed in European literature and western science. Although his father was a reactionary, he is progressive of the most pronounced type and his love of liberty is one of the reasons why he says he would prefer to live in America. LIKE BOLT FROM BLAC Czar Punishes High Officials for Killing Political Prisoners. ST. PETERSBURG. June 13. (Special.) A decree of the Czar's, sentencing the Governor and Vice-Governor of Astrak han prison to eight years penal servitude in the mines of Siberia, has struck terror into the ranks of the Russian officialdom, for the two men had done nothing be yond torturing a few prisoners, some of whom unfortunately had the bad taste to die and to torture prisoners lias hith erto never been considered a crime in Russia. It all happened because a political pris oner, who had spent some weeks in the prison, succeeded in informing Czar Nich olas of what he had seen in the prison. He told of political prisoners having been beaten, kicked and tut all over the body with swords, revolvers, bricks and pad locks and described an instrument of tor ture Invented by the Governor and recom mended by tile prison doctor, called the "Bulgarian Bladder." It consists of a length of cloth tilled with sand, blows from which cause terrible internal injuries without leaving any outward marks. Three prisoners died as a result, of ter rible beatings administered with this in strument and the doctor certified thai they died from natural causes. Curiosity for Americans. PORTLAND, June 12. (To the Editor.) In illustrating the recently opened "Franco-British Exposition" in London, the London Graphic publishes a photo graph of one of the curiosities, which should prove of intense interest tJk all Americans, namely the little Irish cot tage, in which the Graphic states "Pres ident McKlnley spent his boyhood days." We may now look for pictures of the Dutch stork, which inspired President Roosevelt with his race suicide doctrines, during his boyhood days among the dikes and windmills of Holland. H. E. M. Sanan shoes fit the feet. Rosenthal's.
