Frank Sheridan Has Found
Himself in Play "Paid in Full"
Character Actor Well Known in Portland Achieves Triumph What Wil
liam Winter Says About Him in Part of Captain William.
BT ARTHVR A. GREENE.
FRANK SHERIDAX. a. man of In
finite personal charm, one of the
biggest so'ils I know and the logical
aspirant for first honors among present
day character actors, has found himself.
This bit of Information Is not : exactly
what news writers call "live stuff" for It
has been several months since he set the
country talking about his consummate
characterization of Captain "Williams In
Paid in Full." Sheridan arrived, here la
Portland during the Fair three years ago
and endeared himself to many of the
right sort through his splendid gifts of
mind and his heart capacity. At that
time he had done some things worth
while but the planets seemed conspiring
asaint him. A year later, however, -ne
rctnrnpH a the most Important factor

in th Case" and we. his friends.
rejoiced for him. It remained for him to
meet lia firrat chance in the production
of Eugene Walter's .virile play "Paid in
rull." In New York last Spring. His work
In that instance is now history, ana con
tlmiA it where ho may he will And. him-
slf pstfiblished beyond a peradventure.
No les an authority than "William Wla

critics, recently paid him the following
tribute in the esteemed New York
Tribune. It i almost an unprecedented
tribute comlnff from Mr. Winter, whose
conservatism is common Knowjeage.
In referring to his work the master says:

by a judirlouc. firm, fine and decisive use
of his histrionic faculties. He possesses
power, authority and repose. He shows
that he has formed a clear Ideal of the
character to be assumed, and. in his as
..imntinn rr it ti r)oi not. even for an ln
Ft ant, lapse out of Its personality. He domi
nates the .scene, whether speaking or re
maining silent, by intrinsic command by
belnjr what he assumes to be. That Is Im
personation. He possesses exceptional skill
(n ths art nf "maJte-un. Williams Is a
sailor, advanced in years. Mr. Sheridan's
discretion has rightly prompted him to avoid
use of hair on the face an expeaieni ai
. i- trt h avoided when nosslble. and es
pecially Inadmissible in such a case as this
where, nevertheless. It would ordinarily
be emploved. .
The actor's eyes are larg;e, dark, and
exceedingly expressive, and his use of them
Is brilliantly expert, for the promotion of
dramatic effect. His vocalism is wonder
fully well modulated. His exposition of the
traits of a sailor (such as the slightly rolling-
walk, as of a person Ions; habituated
to the motion of a vessel at sea; the peculiar
handling of bis pipe; the slow grinding of
the tobacco between- his palms, and the
careless scattering of an excess of that
powder upon the floor). Is, in effect, spon
taneous and natural. His consistency of de
meanor and movement that of a person of
great strength, who Is beginning to become
somewhat unwieldy is steadily preserved.
His actifcg endures the merciless test of
soliloquy and of Its attendant solitude on
the scene. The manner of a human being
when alone Is the complete revelation of his
character. No ordeal la so difficult for an
actor as that of thinking aloud. Mr. Sheri
dan shows himself to be one of the actors
(and they are few) who can meet that
ordeal. aklng all the time that la neces
sary to create the purposed effect, without
ever, for an Instant, losing his hold upon
the absorbed attention of his audience.
There are mcments In his personation of
Williams wtvn the spectator becomes un
conscious of acting and is enthralled by
the Illusion of iu:ur. The scene between
Williams nd Mrs. Brooks, abstractly con
sidered. 1s loathsome, lr. Its sinister Intima
tion of impending brutality; but the acting
of Mr. Fherldan. by its unusual captivating
use of transparency, redeems the effect of
that situation, and causes the grossness of
It to be almost forgotten. The preliminaries
through which that scene Is contrived are
Irrational, forced, clumsy. In actual life a
husband unless a monster would not ask i
Frank Sheridan mm Captain Wil
liam In "Paid la FaH."
his wife to intercede In such a manner, nor
would the wife consent to his request. Once
contrived, however, the scene Is theatrically
effective, and Mr. Sheridan's acting in it
makes Its effective theatrical quality bril
liantly conspicuous. Artistic strokes abound
in it.
The abrupt transition from good-humor
to cold, harsh, peremptory menace, when
Williams exclaims "What's your proposition
have you got the money?" affords one
specially fine example of art. A colloquy
occurs between Smith and Williams. In
which the former warns the latter, with
reference to his treatment of Mrs. Brooks:
"I've known her," he says, "ever since she
was In short frocka She has always looked
up In my face and smiled. When I come
back, if she's not able to look up In my
face and smile. I'm coming to see you,
Williams, and I'm coming heeled." "What
particular kind of heel do you wear.
Smith?" Inquires the Captain. "If you
should ask the man that makes m.M re
plies Smith, "he would tell you that the
article Is a forty-five Colt." The manage
ment of that colloquy, by Mr. Johnson and
Mr. Sheridan, is quite Indescribably felici
tous; in fact, it is perfect. As Smith goes
out Williams says: 'G'night," using a
bland, gentle tone, that is full of serious
significance and also of humor. Then, alone,
after' a moment of rumination, he says, in
a wonderfully expressive accent: "And he'd
do H. too. If he thought he ought to."
Another fine stroke is the pleased, ap
proving tone tbat Mr. Sheridan uses when
ever Williams has to mention nonesty in
the conduct of other, persons a, tone that
Implies profound approval of the old maxim
"Speak of a man as you find him": a tone
that Indicates the goodness, yet unextin
guished, notwithstanding a life of much
evil. In the fabric of that old sinner. "Al
ways f ur and squaar; always treated me
faar; always did what you said you'd do.
and did It In a pleasant way," says the
dangerous Captain. The part is not a dif
ficult one to comprehend ; it is perfectly
obvious; not In the least subtle; but It re
quires acting of a high order to make It
effective; and that requirement Mr. Sheri
dan has fulfilled. If such a performance
as he gives had been given here by a for
eign actor, speaking a foreign language
by Slgnor Novell!, for example, or M. Co-
quelin, or M. Max It probably would have
been received with hysterical acclamation.
As such things go, it is taken as an or
dinary achievement: precisely as Mr. Theo
dore Roberts' extraordinary performance
e taken, when he acted, so magnificently,
"The Right of Way."
Great Tenor Who Charms Thousands
With Tear-Bringing Songs of Yesterday
Jose's Visit to Portland Revives Tender Memories in Public Mind.
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
IN a crowded downtown elevator yes
terday one of the passengers began
humming "Silver Threads Among the
Gold." An elderly man, whose hair was
full of silver threads, remarked: "I'm glad
Dick Jose brought that good old song
back to town. It recalls many memories
to me." The hard-headed business man's
eyes were suspiciously moist as he said
it, too. A younger man contributed,
rather hesitatingly: "I heard Jose aing it
last night. I'll admit it made me foolish.
My mother used to sing me to sleep with
that song more than a thousand years
ago."
These two men voiced the sentiment of
hundreds who went night after night
to hear the great "popular" tenor sing
the songs of yesterday, and the memories
which cling to those misty yesterdays are
revived. All of us with a vein of senti
ment get a melancholy pleasure from the
forgotten ballads and a genuine thrill of
enjoyment from the singer's singing.
An interesting feature of Mr. Jose's visit
is discovered in the fact that Dr. C. W
Cornelius, of Portland, brought out Jose
more than 21 years ago. It seems that
it must be longer and that Jose must be
; much older than 33. It seems that he's
been going up and down the country for
! a generation, at least, but I have the
: figures for it. Dr. Cornelius was In tne
theatrical business in those days. To
! gether with Charlie Heed he had just
opened the Majestic in San Francisco and
was looking for talent for Charlie Reed's
Minstrels, of which, he was half owner.
The treasurer of the theater said to Cor
nelius one day:
"There's a young Cornlshman up at
Reno that can Just naturally sing the
spots off these fellows you're engaging.
He's a blacksmith and can certainly war
ble. Why dont you give him a chance?"
Cornelius answered that he didn't want
. to take any chance as an lmpressario of
musical blacksmiths. The treasurer was
insistent, however, and finally offered to
pay the railroad fare if they would send
for the boy blacksmith. The doctor re
luctantly consented.
"When I got that telegram offering
me a place on trial with Reed's min
strels I grew dizzy," said Mr. Jose last
night. "It came on a Saturday night
and at the close of work Monday, I
threw my leather apron over the anvil
and put my hammer on it
First With Minstrels.
"I'm going to hang up the hammer
and go on the stage. I told the other
men, but take care of my hammer. I
may need It again. 'Of course, you'll
need it again.' was all the satisfaction
I got. I Joined the minstrels at Sac
ramento. They were returning from
an engagement here In Portland. I
bad my tryout in Sacramento and
seemed to suit. After a week of one
night stands we went into San Fran
cisco to open the Majestic. Mr. Cor
nelius he wasn't a doctor In those
days after hearing me sing came
around to talk business with me. I
was only 18 and not very promising
looking. I suppose. Only because I
made the audience applaud did I seem
to appeal to him. After some prelim
inary sparring he offered me $12 a
week.
"I accepted with the understanding
that I might get more later. People
began talking about the young black
smith with the contra tenor voice, and
I was considerable of a card almost
from the start. A little later, six
weeks, to be exact. Birch & Cotton
made me an offer of 50 to go on the
road with a minstrel show they were
organizing. That seemed like all the
money In the world to me.
"The doctor couldn't figure out how
I was worth fifty per, so he let me
go. Tou can put this down as a cer
tainty, however, I've never ceased to be
grateful to him for giving me a chance
and we ve been having a genuine old-
fashioned reunion since I came. That
was in April, 1887, and in the Fall I
received an offer from George Lederer
to go to New York at $125 a week. He
paid me $150 the second season and
then I went to "The Old Homestead
at $:00. You. will remember that "The
Old Homestead" ran for three solid
yearB, and during that time I didn't
have my trunk out of the theater.
Loves the Old Songs.
"Since that time things have been pretty
comfortable for me. I was with Billy
West's minstrels for a time and then
went into vaudeville. I sing the old
songs because I love them and because
there are so many singing the new ones.
That is my greatest pleasure. To pre
serve the old-time ballads, to refresh
the memories of the older generation
and to. if possible, teach the youngsters
something of their beauty.
"Speaking of 'Silver Threads' reminds
me of an experience I had a few years
ago in Philadelphia. I found out that
D&nks, who wrote it, was living in
cheap boarding-house in the city, a very
old man and in dire poverty. He didn't
have enough money to buy a ticket to
hear me and I was told that he was
heartbroken over it. I invited him to be
my guest, sent a carriage for him, gave
him one of the best seats in the theater
and went out to supper with him after
ward. We both enjoyed the meeting
thoroughly. He had In his room an old
organ on which he had composed "Silver
Threads, and every morning It was hia
custom to play. One morning, shortly
after I had seen him, the other tenants
missed his morning concert, and. upon
Investigation, found the old gentleman

In the millionaire class, the old delights of

HEALED BY SIMPLE FAITH
French Wizard Who Blazed Trail
for Mrs. Eddy Is Dead.
Christian Science Is no new thing, and
Is no American invention. An old wizard
of So. who has Just died in Auvergne,
practiced the doctrine successfully for
half a century along the unsophisticated
peasantry of that country. He did not
call his method Christian Science, but
gave out that he "healed in secret, ana
seems sometimes to have been as good
as his word.' When 'called he never
touched a patient, prescribed no medicine
and advised no change In diet or manner
of living. All he asked was, "Have you
faith? Are you persuaded that the Al
mighty can cure you?" If the patient
said "yes," the healer merely urged him
or her to bear up and "to put faith in
God, who cures the sick." He then went
home to pray and his patlenta were
cured. '
Some of them, at all eventa, say they
were, and their number was enough to
make the wizard's reputation. When he
had become known all over Auvergne his
fame spread abroad. Of late years pa
tients had come to him from all over
Europe, chiefly from Switzerland and
Germany, and even from America. His
death Is looked upon as a public calamity
In Auvergne, where all the peasantry
mourn him.
The ancient healer, whose name was
Vlgner, was at any rate sincere. He never
took any fee for his "consultations" and
