Otis Skinner Will Introduce
Innovation in His Performance
Before Resuming Play After Intermission Between Acts, Actor Will Give
Three Loud Raps Behind Scenes as Notification Curtain Is About to Rise.
OTIS SKINNER will experiment
with an innovation during hie
coming engsgement at the Helllg
next week. He will call the attention
of the audience to the use of the cur
tain upon each act by the historic
French method of sounding three loud
raps of a club upon the floor of the
staga Just before the curtain Is to as
cend. This time-honored custom of
the French, known as "les trols coups,"
will doubtless prove something of a
novelty In a Portland playhouse.
Mr. Skinner's reasons for doing this
odd thins are based on common sense.
He believes the three loud warnings
will be efficacious in concentrating the
audience's attention upon the play. In
asmuch as the waits between the acts
of "The Honor of the Family" are ex
tremely brief. Mr. Skinner has found it
necessary to find some effective way of
informing the audience that the play la
to be resumed. In New Orleans an old
French actor suggested the three raps,
and. although Mr. Skinner had some
doubts about the value of the,, sugges
tion and its practicability, he tried it
with complete success in New York,
Boston and other cities. After the
sound of the three sharp raps conver
sation ceased and persons who had
left their seats hurriedly returned to
them, so that the curtain rose upon a
quiet and attentive audience.
How to Pronounce Name
of Nazimova
It Is Nn-seera-o-vah, Wit k Accent
Second Syllable. Despite 1'opa
lar evr York Error.
ONE of the most interesting things
about Madame Nazimova is her
name. It Is constantly mispronounced
and often tnlspelleo. And, like most
foreign names. It has a story behind It.
Madame Nazimova Is herself author
ity for pronouncing the name as if
it were spelled "Nah-zeem-o-vah,"
with the accent strongly on the "zeem."
Tet there are numerous people who
will Insist that It be pronounced as If
spelled "Na-zi-mo-va," accenting the
"mo." Perhaps It was because some
one In New York, when Madame made
her first appearance there. Invented this
pronounclatlon, for It is extremely pop
ular even If it is Incorrect.
In Russia the -parent name forms a
root upon which sometimes Is builded
the names of. branches of the family.
It will be -recalled that the nation's
ruler is the Czar and that his wife Is
termed the Czarina and his eldest son
the Czarovitch. Thus with Madame Na
zi movas family, her father waa named
Naalmoff and the spelling of the dausrh
ter's name indicates in a measure her
relation to the parent -Her brother,
who is one of the most successful mag
azine writers In Berlin, spells his
name Nasimovitch. It is an interest
ing thing, this Russian name, and at
tracts great attention everywhere.
When Madame Nazimova first came
to American four years ago to play
in Russian with the Paul Orlenoff play
ers, she was erroneously "billed" in

Madame "Nasimoff." She was too new
to American customs and too busy to
notice this at the time, but when she
made her first appearance aa an English-speaking
player, she asked that
the correct form of spelling be used.
Some forelgnera hold that the nam
should be spoken as If apelled "Nat
seemova." but Madame Bays this Is an
Tor. for while some parts of Russia
may have Individual waya of pronounc
ing names, the Slav empire la a big
country and different districts have dif
ferent ways. Ind-ed. she state- that
there are nearly So different Russian
languages, therefore there are as many
ways of pronounrlng proper names.
BAY CITY GOSSIPS OF FOOD,
RESTAURANTS AND JAPANESE
Failure of Swell Cafe Recalls Other Attempts in This Line Schoolteachers
Up in Arms at Board of Education Stories About Jap Flag.
BT HARRY SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. (Special.)
"Notice to the public. . The
Thompson-Jaulus cafe h.as closed
for a few days pending repairs. Will be
reopened under new management."
And that tells the story of the down
fall of the latest and most expensive of
the San Francisco eating places, a res
taurant that was opened on April 18, and
didn't last the month out. Myerfield.
who operates the Orpheum Theater and
the Louvre cafe. Is said to be the man
who will be In charge in the future, and
Jack Thompson and Jaulus, his partner,
will be searching for other green pas
tures. The new .place, which took the base
ment of the Flood building, operated be
fore the fire as Tait's cafe, and had not
been opened more than two weeks before
the public predicted Its downfall. It was
run on extravagant principles and then,
too. the patronage wasn't sufficient.
Before the fire. Jack Thompson had a
small restaurant that was patronized
largely by the racing fraternity and other
men of sporting Ilk. Ills place was
packed to the doors each nlRht. and he
was coining money. Then he made a mis
take. He decided that If a small place
waa doing so well, a larger one would
xnake him a millionaire. He opened the
new place, but the business was slow,
'and Thompson had to quit. After the
fire, he opened Thompson's cafe out on
Fillmore street. Ha did well until he
concluded that he wanted an annex, with
music and a fine gathering place for
society. Society didn't gather.
New Place Started.
Three months aso Thompson con
ceived the idea of opening a restaurant
under the Flood building. Jaulus, who
was his orchestra leader, waa brought
into the scheme and the two secured an
angel In the way of a local bakery man
who had money. A considerable sum
was spent in fitting up the place. All
sorts of provisions and something like
J27.0OO worth of wine were purchased.
The angel stuckit out for three weeks,
and then he got cold feet. He didn't
see anything coming in and wanted an
investigation. That investtagtion showed
that, although 127.000 worth of wine had
been purchased, only a small percentage
had been sold. But there was a lot of
that wine missing. No one knew where
It had none. The anael backed out com
rletelv.
With the financial support gone,
Thompson and Jaulus had to quit. That'a
the reason for the notice. As I have
said, gossip says that Myerfield has
nought the place and will establish the
Louvre there. Since the fire, he has
had the Louvre out on Fillmore street.
A few weeks ago his lease ran out and
he has been waiting for a location.
Teachers Will Fight Rating;.
Teachers In the public schools of San
Francisco, who live in Oakland or the
surrounding cities and have been ordered
to make their residences in San Fran
cisco, have decided to test the ruling.
About 100 teachers live In -Oakland.
Berkeley and Alameda. Many of them
own their own homes, and they want
to find out if they can be compelled to
take auch a step. John S. Partridge,
once defeated for Mayor In San Francisco,
has stepped forward and offered his serv
ices, the pay to be purely In thanks.
According to Mr. Partridge, the Board
of Education hasn't a leg to stand on
and will be mandamnsed into permitting
the pedagogues to reside where they
choose.
Mrs. Maxjorie Stewart, of Berkeley, will
be the plaintiff In the action, and win
have the moral and financial backing
of the other "schoolmams" who are
commuters.
Owen fioos lo San Joc.
Clifford J. Owen, for a number of
years connected with the Evening Tele
gram, of Portland, as Its manager, and
later In the real estate business In the
Oregon metropolis, has once more gone
back, to his first love the newspaper
game. Only a week ago. Mr. Owen ac
cepted tho management of the San Jose
Daily Times, a morning paper that was
started by Charles M. Shortrldge In -opposition
to the Ban Jose Mercury, which
Shortrldge once owned. The Times has
not been a paying property. Of late
the bills have run too far ahead of the
receipts. The Western I'nlon pulled out
its wires, and there was trouble ahead
for the Times. Rut now that Clifford
Owen has been Induced to lake charge,
brighter days are looked for.
The new manager of the Times learned
the newspaper business In fan Jose. Ills
father before him. J. J. Owen, waa tl
owner of the Mercury st one time. After
that paper passed Into the hands of
Shortrldge Mr. Owen acted as Its man
ager, until he accepted the position In
Portland. From Portland, he came to
San Francisco as business manager of
the Call. Tiring for the time being of
newspaper work, he went Into the real
estate business, but his old calling was
too strong for htm. With his large ac
quaintance in Sen J nee. and hla wide
circle of friends, he should do well in that
field.
Wanted Japanese Flag Katsed. .
The Japanese consul In San Francisco
has been making a stir sine the arrival
of hts country's fleet In the harbor. Ap
parently he had an Idea because his
country waa sending two captured Rus
sian cruisers into our port, that the city
should show some sign of captivity or
submission. St he went down to the
Custom-House, and asked that tfa the
duy the two cruisers arrived, tha Japa
nese flag should float. Instead of the Stars
and Stripes, from the Custom-House flag
pole.
But there was nothing doing. Fred
Stratton and Billy Hamilton put that
consul to the about face In very short
order and old ."say. can you see" floated
proudly from that flagstaff where it be
longed. And speaking of the Japanese flag,
there cornel a story of the consternation
that waa raised at the St- Franria hotel
one day this week Th r.. v... . -
that the flag of Japan waa floating from.
""i-i iwi. pome or tne guests
thought It more than passing strange, and
immediately It was reported to the man
sgement. But the trouble rapidly faded
"ay when It was discovered that the
Janitor was at fault. It appears that
the man-of-all work had an Idea that any
old flag would do. as long as tt was a
flag. The emblem of the Japanese being
the cleanest he had selected that. But tt
was hauled down In a hurry and Old
Glory soon waved In Its proper place.
Army People Object.
There Is a small-sised 'mutiny among
the Army and Navy people of Aio Fran
cisco. Tbey are "sore- at tne Police
Department and although nothing will
be done in regard to the affair, there is
a world or talk.
It appears that ope of the patrolmen
was arrested by his superiors on a charge
of conduct unbecoming an officer and
will have h's catae heard before the Police
Commissioners. Now thst charge la one
that tr Army and Navy has held aacred
to itself. It is considered a ilu ax Las
unoecoming an of -rer. and bene, tn
tempest In t he teapot.
Contrary to an almost general b!!rf.
Lieutenant "Boy" Osourn Is not being
court-martialed for his aileg-d miaNe
bavlor with Mrs. Naval Contractor Rvana
The court In session at Mare Islacd. be
fore, which Otbum was cited to appear,
is merely a court of Inquiry, to Investi
gate tha Incident and to determine
whether or not Osburn'a conduct was such
as to Justify the ordering of the court
martial. 1t Is the growing belief that the In
quiry will not result la a court-martial.
At any rate, the Navy Is rather dis
gusted aa well aa tired of the whole
affair, and would be glad to have It
dropped and forgotten. In the meantime.

Apollo Club Plans Final
Concert
Fittlag rilui tm !Breeaafs)l
Prwsstaew by plrBH t terms.
a e HE present musical season has been,
without doubt, the most notable on
in tha history of Portland, and as a
fitting climax will come the Apollo Club
concert, mhlch will be g'.ven Monday
evening. May n. In the Helllg Theater.
While this 1st the first public appearance
of the club, all those so fortunate aa to
hear the Invitation concert recently
given to the aaaoclale membership are
In no doubt as to the rare musical treat
now In store.
The audience which greeted the club
upon Its Initial appearance Included a
goodly number of representative musical
people, who came expectant, but pre
pared to make considerable allowance
for at least some unfinished and imper
fect rendition. Charitable criticism,
however, was not tsxed in the least and
close attention, enthusiastic applause and
subsequent unstinted praise proved be
yond doubt that the club had "made
good" and that It must hereafter he
taken seriously and be given deserved
recognition and place aa a prominent fac
tor In Portland murU-al l!f.
The programme prepared for tha com
ing concert will range from the lighter
numbers with rich harmonies appealing
to the popular ear. to the heavier, thrill
ing worka with great climaxes and com
pelling beauties that lift on from ths
sordid things of esrth.
By special request three numbers pre
viously given will be repeated. L e.. "The
Sword of Ferrara." l.y Frederick Field
Bullard. the stirring martial character of
which would well nigh mo the blood
In a wodvn man: "'ofpr Moon." by
Harry ftowe Shelly, a Southern neitro
anelody rich In beautiful harmony, an. I
'Forest Harps." by Krfwin rVhiilll.
which must appeal strongly to all lovers
of the grand old forest trees. upon
whlcb the wind plays as upon a harp.
It is probable that the club will also
sing "Silent Recollections." by Partie;
"When the Corn Is Waving." a pWaslns
arrangement by Dud'.ey Puck: "The Pil
grim's Chorus." from "Tsnnhauser." and
"farewell of Hiawatha." by Arthur
Foote. This last Is a roost noble and
adequate musical setting of Lon:r!1ow's
poem and gives opportunity for finest
effects In snadlng and coloring. This
number Is easily the most ambitious
thing which the elub undertakes this
year. It has been rendered with marked
success by. the clubs In the larger K ast
ern r'tlee. There are one or two addi
tional numbers, mhi. h will not be an
nounced, hut w!! be In the nature of
pleasant surprises. ,
In the big numbers the club l!l be
srrorr.panled or a carefully selected or
chestra of some pieces and which Is
now at work upon the score. It la quite
probable that a local soliirt will be asked
to assist.
The personnel of the active member
ship Is ample evidence that this organi
zation hss been mot carefully le.-ted
snd that every possible means has be-r.
tsken to deielop and perfect a male
chorus capable of cred.tably producing
the broadest muislcal rotin-olt!ons thai
have ever been arranged for men's
voices.
The club has a legal status through its
articles of Incorporation under the srste
Issrs and the management of Its affairs
Is '.n tha hsnds of a b-.ard of five di
rectors. It is needle., to mention that
the club feela especially fortunate In hav
ing secured ss a director ths services of
so well known, popular and capable a
man as Professor W. H. Borer. Follow

QUALITY
It is not a wise policy to select a piano simply because it .sounds good
to the ear and looks good to the eye. In purchasing a piano you
want one that will give satisfaction for a generation, an instrument
of superior tone and lasting durability. Our constant aim and un
tiring endeavor is to eliminate guesswork from the problem of piano
buying on the part of the purchasing public We want prospective
purchasers to know why one piano is better than another. This is
why wo dwell upon quality. The one-price policy of this house sim
plifies piano buying. Our line of reliable makes affords full scojx
for selection. We are exclusive Pacific Coast dealers for tho follow
ing of tho world's best pianos: Steinway. A. Ii. Chase. Kverett,
Conover, Packard. Estey. Emerson, Ludwig; Kurtzman. Kingsburv,
.Wellington. Through the concentration of the skill of generations
of piano makers, each of these instruments is representative of its
class, and the best possible quality, price considered.
We also rent pianos, tune pianos and repair pianos. .
