Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 1, 1903. 3 DUSTIN FARNUM CHATS ABOUT BUSY LIFE BEHIND THE SCENES Principal Actor in '.'The Squaw Man" Declares Stage Hands Are Among the Heroes of America. i rAGE hinds and Bremen ar the I heroes of America." raid DuBtlo Farnum, who la thl season star , ring In "Ths Squaw Man." "I mean H : .and I know full weJl what I am talk- lngr about In making- the assertion "If I were RooseveU and the country i were plunged into a war without any time for preparation. I would choose ! some theatrical manager tor uenerai , take the actors for noncommissioned - officers and the working staff for my ; fighting men. Victory would surely ' perch on our banner. "Seriously, we hear a great deal said about the hard, life of the soldier and the sailor. They're fine men, but they aren't In it with the men of whom speak, for they enjoy their sleep and ' their pleasure in a way that the mil lionaire does not know and could not i buy. while the working staff of a the 1 ater drops and rises to fight again, like soldiers under Washington. "Many a time I've eeen one of these . chaps fall right down, too tired to hold , himself .erect. Often they will prop ' themselves sgalnst a piece of scenery t and take the nap that exhausted na ture demands. In dark crannies and nooks behind the scenes are often the only resting places they know for days at a time. "A working-staff, as the carpenters, property-men and electricians are railed, travel with every company, and when the actors get through and go to their hotel to get their rest before carting out again. It takes a pretty indifferent or pretty calloused Indi vidual not to have before him con stantly a comparison of his lot with that of the men on whose fidelity so much of his success depends. "In one night stands, when the cur tain rings down at 11 o'clock their trouble begins. All the scenery, bit by bit. has to be taken down, and every piece of 'property has to be covered in wadding and excelsior, if It Is break able. Sometimes there will be hun dreds of dollars wor'.h of china, glass snd bric-a-brac to be moved. After this Is done. It Is placed on the truck and taken to the station, which may be across town. There Is no time to loi ter; agility -and carefulness are requi site qualities. The scenery may be on board cars by almost superhuman ef fort by 4:30 or 5 o'clock, and the proba bility is that the train starts at 6. There is an hour or so in which they may get a cup of coffee and a snatch of sleep. takn wherever they can find a place. "The car that leaves the station at o'clock mny be due at the next stopping place at 12. the tired men having ridden in passenger cars. AU very well, if it were for one Journey, but when you think they take that kind of trip without having had sufficient sleep all through the rush and roar of the season on the road, you appreciate the lack of complaint Just as soon- as the train gets In, the cars with the scenery are shunted to the sidetrack and the unpacking, loading the trucks, and the subsequent - unpacking at the theater and putting into place follow.. "Usually we get to a place with Just time enough to get things ready for a matinee performance. Betwen that and tlie evening performance there are a thousand things to do. and after that Is over begins the weary round again. "Sir Henry Irving once said he consid ered the American stagehand the gamest man he knew. He described them as masters of emergencies, and said that vhcn he came ovnr here wfth his enor- f . I . - - -' sstlsi Farnum, Who AVfH pear im "The Squaw Mia Ae- mous productions he depended on their skill and experience to a great extent to supplement his own staff. He never took them for -granted, as so many actors do. as If they were furniture or a part of the properties. but. realized to the full that they represented a . laree class of fine men. They have a double staff to do the same work In England. The relation between an actor and his working staff is a close one. One cannot travel thirty-odd weeks with a lot of men without getting to know them well. If you have any Interest outside a limited SDhere. In a sense, the leading man Is the father of his whole company, and hould feel a paternal Interest in the humblest one. If he does not. If- he is captious, disagreeable and grumpy, the probabilities are that when he starts out next year he will find himself with an en tirely new outfit of workers to break in. I know of no greater satisfaction than to find, when you start out on your season's tour, the same working staff that you have traveled with for years. I like the boyish way they enjoy little things, the zest that no hard knocks seems able to destroy toward primitive pleasures. They don't get dissipated and their lives away from their -homes don't make them forgetful. Last Christmas I was playing In Phila delphia, and was homesick and unhappy. My brothers, William and Marshall, to gether with my father, were In "New York, euid I wanted to get home with them, and the fact that the house was sold out for the day and the night did not seem to affect me with any special Joy. It seemed to me that every human being ought to have a Christmas day. I walked toward my dressing-room in that state of mind, and when I opened the door T found a big placard reading 'For Mr. Farnum. from the orking Staff,' and .that explained the bower of green. dotted here and there with holly and mistletoe, really an artistic decoration Into which the room had been turned. was ashamed. I said to myself if these men Just as far away from their homes as I am from mine could tninK ot ine happiness of others. I certainly ought not to go around with a forlorn face." IN PORTLAND THEATERS Continued From Page 2. circuit are the two Pucks. -They are brother and sister, and have been on the s:age since they were 3 years old. These little Juvenile artists introduce a series of character songs, with an appropriate change of costume. Welch, Mealy and Montrose pre.xent a comedy act called "Play Ball." which is full of fun and a big scream. It illus trates the humorous side of the strife be tween the New York Giants and the Chi cago Cubs. Two funny German comedy stars. Ray mond and Caverly. are presenting their original latest laughing skit. "A Booming Town." In which they Introduce bits -of their former successes. "Swivel Service" and "Talk of Society." which made such signal hits throughout the East. Their appearance on any bill Is a guarantee of good, fast comedy and & laugh a second. ARTISTIC DANCER HEADS BILIi Sensational Knife Act Another At' traction Coming to Grand. Following up the strong vaudeville programme which has held sway at the Orand for the past week and which closes tonight. Sullivan & Considine send another big bill for this week, starting tomorrow afternoon. On this new bill the feature will be Llnd. the artlstlo dancer, who appeared so successfully at the Folles Berger. Paris. An act which can play this famous vaudeville house of Paris can make good anywhere. One of the striking features of Und s spe cialty will be the costumes. These are the most beautiful and gorgeous ever worn by an artistic dancer in vaudeville. There is not a woman in Portland who will not appreciate these creations of the Parisian dressmakers. The dancing Is the acme of grace and art. "Billy's Girl" An a playlet In which Alice Mortlock and company will appear. The plot revolves around the mistaken Identity of a country girl and a well known actress. The reports received on this playlet say that It Is original and good. A monologist who uses new material Is always appreciated in Portland. Tom D-empsey, the musical comedy comedian, will make a bid for popularity In his as sortment of stories, recitations, songs and parodies. There Is not an old story In his collection and If you can't laugh at Tom Dempsey then It is time to con sult a r-hysli-ian and see what Is the matter with your funny bone. The great Romanoffs are sensational krife-throwers and give an exhibition of human Intrepidity. There is knife and battieax throwing and a disrobing act Is made by the keen blades cutting one costume oft after another. It would be difficult to conjure a more exciting and thrilling feature than this. "The Liixy Athlete" Is a comedy acro batic turn by Paster and Merle, who have a reputation as gymnasts In eccen tric, feats. "Just Married a Week" sounds Interesting and will be played by Howley and Olcott. It is a comedy ketch. Miss McKinley, the prima donna soprano, will be heard and there will be an Illustrated song by Fred Bauer and Imported motien pictures. Today will be the last of the present bill, with d'Amon. the mind reader, answering all questions. CIRCVS OS PAXTAGES' STAGE I tog and Pony Show Is Feature This Week. Tes tt Is true, there will be a one ring circus at the Pantagra Theater, com awnctng with Monday's matinee. 6hepps' 3og. pony and monkey-circus, one of the largest and best animal ebowi ever pre sented on a vaudeville stage, performing unheard-of feats and displaying almost human intelligence; a show that will please the young and the old! Including high school Shetland ponies; dogs that do everything but talk and comical monkey clowns that keep the audience convulsed with laughter. And on next Saturday afternoon there will be a spe cial matinee for the little ones. After the ' performance is over, the dogs, monkeys and ponies will hold a re ception on the stage and each child will be treated to a ride on the tiny Shetland ponies. " The entire performance is said to be out of the ordinary and strong enough to make a good vaudeville enter tainment without the big list of other star attractions on the bill. As a special added attraction, the man agement takes much pleasure In announc ing, Klein, Ott Brothers and Nicholson who are well known throughout the Unit ed States and Europe as America's great est musical act. This act has been featured as a headline attraction in all the big Eastern cities. Lester & Miller present a comedy play let entitled "The Little Emigrant." which is recommended as a positive cure for the blues. La Toy Bros., sensational, funny, dif ferent, comedy acrobats, have an act full of surprising acrobatic revolutions. introducing ground tumbling no other artist can Imitate, interspersed with orig inal acrobatic comedy, and a hit In every house they ever worked. Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, assisted by Frank Martin, present a one-act farce comedy entitled "A Busy Manager." Harry Leahy, the new baritone singer, will sing a new Illustrated song, and the blograph will present the very latest In motion photography, which comes direct from the factory to the Pantages Thea ter. Today will be your last chance to see Mrs. Eva Fay who Is supported by a all star aggregation of vaudeville artists. Notes of the Portland High School W West Side. KEN his mates sent Grlnnell over Wednesday, In the game with the East Side High School, cardinal stock went soaring. From the present outlook the West High bids fair to maintain Its po sition, as champion in the Interscholastlo League. Captain Smith and Coach Jor dan have hammered their lines Into a stone wall that will be hard to pierce. The result. 6-0 In Its favor, was not unlocked for by the supporters of the Cardinal, ' ihe slight sdvantages shown by the opponents of West High In the games with Lincoln Hign, oi Seattle, and the Oregon Freshmen led to the be lief that the line would not be crossed by the East Eiders. The game was an event In Interschol astic athletes. Old-stagers say they have never seen secondary schools put up a better game on a rortiand held. They are already having visions of the time when the new high school on the Peninsula shall be a fact. Then the three high schools will furnish sport hardly In ferior in interest to the Multnomah-Ore gon game. The spirit manifest in the v ednesday game was one of the features of the oc casion. Everybody was in good spirits, as it was anybody's game almost to the close. The rooting excelled anything before displayed In the Interscholastlc games. Kenneth McAlpln. yell-leader for the West 8lde. had his rooters well marshaled and used them to good effect. He also succeeded In eliminating the tin horn nuisance. It was noticed that the usual stamping on the grandstand was con spicuous by its absence. The only thing that marred the occasion was Ross' re tirement from the- field on a technical ruling. The East Side backs failed to stop him and he accidentally fouled the kicker. The next game In the series Is with Hill Military Academy, next Wednes day afternoon. This will probably de cide the championship, as H. M. A. has taken Columbia's scalp. There will be something of the Internecine In the con test, as a number of the H. M. A- play ers are old West Side men. Latouretta and McKinley, stars on the West Side championship team of last season, visited the boys Thursday at their afternoon practice. They were passing through the city on their way to Moscow, Idaho, to take part in the Idaho Oregon match. Latouretta plays his old position of quarter; McKinley, half. The success of the first team of the West High is due In a great measure to the second team. The scrubs are faith ful In responding to a call that has much grief and little glory. They have or ganized, however, and expect to take some trips on their own account. Everett Peterson Is manager; Sam Arnold, cap tain. The line-up is as follows: Holden. quarterback; Ashby, fullback: Trine, right half; Smith and Stlrebig, left half: Morsan. rlKht end: Stoehr. left end; Tyson, right half: Brooks, extra left tackle; McCorkle, right guard; O'NeU and Carson, left guards; Vail, center. The Bible Club met Tuesday afternoon as usual. The ofilcers are: President, Walker Peddlcord; vice-president, Oscar Hansen; secretary and treasurer, Harold Wahlberg: sergeant-at-arms, Cecil Spicer. This Winter the Club has on dertaken the study of the rise of the Apostolic Church. They use as a text book Bosworth and Barton's "Studies in the Acts and Epistles." In this way the young men -are trying to correct the Ig norance of the Bible lamented on by Pro fessor Gardiner, of Harvard, and Pro fessor Phelps, of Tale, In applicants for admission to college." The high scnoois of Spokane and Salt Lake offer regular elective courses In Bible study. The February, '09, class met Thursday afternoon. The class officers are: Harold Wahlberg. president; Nellie Hemmenway, vice-president; Abramine Thatcher, sec retary; Mildred Vail, treasurer; Newton Smith, sergeant-at-arms. The meeting was called to discuss whether the class should attempt to issue a number of the Cardinal. The class Is unusually small, having only 34 members. This class marks a transition stage between the old three-year course and the new four- year course for all subjects, consequent ly, there are only a few English and German numbers. Notwithstanding this handicap In numbers, the class decided to follow Its precedent and take charge of the February Cardinal. Lucile Davis was elected editor; Cecil Miller, assistant editor: Cecil Altman, business manager: Will Ross, assistant manager; Nellie Hemmenway, class poet. Wednesday afternoon was held the first assembly of the year. It was managed entirely by the students, with the idea of stirring up interest in the approach ing game. Yell-leader McAlpln addressed the students and - then led off in a few rousing yells, after which the crowd ad journed to the football field. The societies met as usual Friday aft ernoon. The Tologelons argued -tne question of a larger navy for the United States, Wahlberg and Martzloff support ing the affirmative, Stott and Peddlcord. the negative. The affirmative won. The Impromptu was: "Resolved. That AU Countries Should Adopt the Same Mone tary System." Affirmative, Shaefer and Pearcy: negative, Apple and Anderson, the latter won. The following new mem bers have been admitted: Apple, Jeffrey, Gentner, Pearcy, Howes, Attlx and Young. A committee was appointed to arrange for a "stag" In the near future. The Adelphlans had another of their "character" programmes. This week they took up the "Slums of New York." Miss Zackner appeared first with a paper on "The Tenements of New York"; Eliza beth Bush followed with "Types of the Unemployed"; Gertrude Osh described the life of the working girl In New York. The programme closed with, a debate: "Resolved. That the Municipalities Should Undertake the Housing of the Poor." Jessie Young and ' Emma Meek maintained the affirmative; John Bankus and Ruth Pawley the negative. The af firmative was awarded the decision. The Phllolexlans gave their second programme on current politics as fol lows: Debate: "Resolved, That United States Senators Should Be Elected by Direct Vote of the People.',' Affirmative, Misses Donnell and Law; negatives, Robertson and Powell. The affirmative won. Ruth Young followed with a talk on railroad rate legislation. Elizabeth Whlttlesay olosed the programme with a discussion of a greater navy. A. P. M. East' Side. The officers of the new literary so ciety have been elected as follows: Pres ident, W. Homer Maris; vice-president. Mary Davles; secretary and treasurer, Edward Garcia. The work of this society will be for the development of the lite rary talent of its members. A secondary aim will be to provide material for "The Lens." The constitution has been die cussed and will soon be in Its finished form. - The only thing lacking Is a name. A good programme was given Friday by the Eukrineon Society. Hatfield gave a monologue and was followed by Garcia, who read his literary report. Garcla's subject was aeronautics, and he made it verv Interesting. In his reading he In cluded a Joke which the audience took In awed silence. Then he wrote his Joke on the blackboard, drew a diagram and I informed his follow Eukrlneons Vhat It was a Joke, whereupon came the laugh ter, to the satisfaction of the manufac turer of the Joke. Next was a violin solo by Cook, which called for an encore. Miss Armitage spoke of the Democratic National Convention, which she attend ed last Summer. The debate was, "Re solved.' That the people of the United States should sanction tne scneme or railroad regulation as set forth In the Democratic platform." This was won toy Martin and Summers, who spoke In the negative. Johnson and Singletary were on the affirmative. The Phrenodikens gave an exception ally good programme October 23.. Mar garet Nekson gave an Impromptu talk. Whv the Donkey and tne Eiiepnant Are Appropriate Party Emblems." Goldie Grlsson gave a reading. "A Girl's Tele phone Conversation." Next came a de bate: "Resolved. That Bryan Is a hand somer man than Taft." This was illus trated by large pictures of the rival can didates. It waa decided that Bryan was the handsomer man. Carin Diegermark spoke for Bryan and Claire Oakes for Taft. "Quips and Cranks," the, Phreno paper, was read by May Rogers. The meeting closed with the report of Mary Davles, temporary critic.

In the circu lar of the new society an Interesting scheme is set down for the study of the different French dialects, or rather Latin dialects, for the society means to push its studies further than the frontier. The countries in which Roman dialects are spoken are to be divided up into ls ais- trlcts: Northern France, Southern France,- Spain and America where the Castillan dialects are spoken, Portugal and Portuguese countries, Canada, Bel gium, French and Italian-speaking Switzerland, the Emgaaine, itaiy ana m Latin-speaking countries of Dalmatla, Albania and Roumania. An editor will be placed in charge of each district, with powers to collect documents and folk lore, and eventually the society hopes to publish a monumental work upon the patois of the Latln-epeainng worm.
