MRS. KTSKE has completed her
promised two weeks' engagement
In the Henrik Ibsen play, "Pillars
ot esoclety," and it appears that the
critics, without exception, spoke well
or her performance as an artistic tri
umph. The engagement was at the
Lyceum Theater In New York. For
the second fortnight of her Spring
engagement at the Lyceum Mrs. Flska
is playing Gerhart Hauptmann's dream
Play "Hannele." which was first pro
duced In Germany in 18S& Haupt-
mann cans "tiannele a "dream poem.'
And yet, except In a certain sense, it Is
not that. In It ho has blended with
startling originality the ultra realistic
and the purely poetic. Briefly, the play
presents a series of Incidents preceding
a miserable child's death, some of
"which are actual and many of which
are the creations of her delirium. These
hallucinations all find their root as the
actual conditions and circumstances of
the child's life, and the elemental, prim
itive forms they take aro suggestive
and measured by her narrow experi
ences. The author's Insight into the
emotions, suffering and brain-imaginings
of the unfortunate Hannele is
xn&rvelously sympathetic and true. Ha
differentiates with amazing skill and
ubtlety the transitions to and from the
worlds of reality and fantasy that mark
the final hours of the child's existence
and that transport her from tho ter
rors of a cruel life to the beauties of
a heavenward journey. The auditor can
follow these transitions clearly as the
play develops. Identifying the moments
of fact and those of vision and perceiv
ing the psychological operations of
Hannele's fevered brain.
Catherine Countiss. formerly leading
woman of the Baker Stock Company, is
how an actress-manager. She selects
lier own support and plays and attends

Spring season at Grand Rapids, Mich.,

ciates. ,
Calvin Ilellig. the Portland theatrical
magnate, is in New York with Frederic
Belasco and Fred Joseph Butler en
gaging attractions to be seen next sea
ou at houses of the Western Theatrical
Association. vThe visit of the Pacific
Coast magnate is noted in the New
York Telegraph, which gives a column
of space to discussing the plans, mak
ing approving reference to the new
Helling theater under construction in
Portland. According to the Telegraph
the Baker theater in Portland will next
year institute the practice of having
stars appear all the year round, re
nouncing the present custom of having

: ready to release "Just a Wife." "Is Mat
rimony a Failure?" and "The Lily,"
they, too, will be played. The associa

the Ave persons concerned do better
than if they were working singly.

one could find pianos to burn in Bos

Henry Miller has the following to say
about the dearth of the actor crop:
It 1 a matter of common knowledge to
every one Interested in affairs theatrical
that producing: manager, have been serlous-

of actors. Three New York productions
have been postponed until next September
because the managers Interested simply
couia not nil the casts with capable play
ers, and two productions that have been
made this year unquestionably failed be
cause tho actors assigned to the most Im
portant roles bungled tho characterizations
intrusted to them. This situation is re
markable in view of the fact that there are
fewer attractions on tour this season than
at-any time during- the last ten years, and
even the New York and Chicago theaters

started "Chantecler" on the downward

Arthur Nevln's American grand opera,
"Pola," will be given its first perform
ance under the patronage of the Kaiser
at the Royal Opera-House, Berlin, on
April 15. A Berlin correspondent writes:
"Poia" Is not only the first American
opera ever presented in Europe, but it is
the tirjrt attempt to employ redskin life as
a basis for serious operatic music The
scene is laid in the Far Northwest of the
United States at a time when the palefaces
had not Intruded upon .Indian civilization.
The entire cast and chorus are red inert
and women and the stage swarms with
blanketed and feathered " warriors and
squaws, armed with tomahawks and bows
and arrows. The orchestra becomes a bank
of tom-toms rolling out weird, mystic har
monizations of the wigwam and the plains.
Strange vocal effects are produced by the
chanting in guttural Indian Hit of themes
of love, superstition and battle. Although
seven Americans are members of the Kai
ser's operatic organization, only one will
take part in "Poia." a bass, who will play
the Sun God.
Musicians who have gone through the
score of "Pola" are amazed at the extent
to which genuine Indian themes lend them
selves to melodious . and artlstlo treatment,"
although it 'remains to be seen how faith
fully Germans ran interpret the redskin
temperament. The composer lived a year
among the Blackfeet Indians of Montana,
studying their language and voices for
translation into operatic form.
A magnificent stone structure of "Doric
design, the home of the theatrical pro
fession of America, will soon be built
near Columbus Circle overlooking Cen
tral Park, in New York City, at a coat
of $500,000. VThere, ' for the first time, all
the theatrical profession will have a
common meeting place devoted to their
common interests. It will be, without
doubt, the most democratic, institution
ever reared in the interests of any art,
either here or in Europe. Broad in its
scope, it will house not only the great
charities of the allied professions drama,
music ami the fine arts united into one,
but also a great theatrical exchange, to
do away with the booking offices; a non
commercial theater where native Amer
ican dramas may be tried out, and many
other projects for the mutual assistance
of the profession.
Marguerita Sylva has sailed for
Europe, -to return In November, when--1
she opens the season at Chicago under
the direction of Herr Dlppel. She will
sing In the Opera Comique, Paris, this
month, and then rest in Belgium and
France before returning to America.
Marguerita Sylva was seen in Port
land some 10 years ago, when she was
a star in comic Instead of grand opera.
Her piece was "The Strollers," by
Gustav Englanger, and was given at
the Marquam Theater. Even then the
critics said her voice gave promise of
a great future, afc 1 soon 'afterward
she went to Europe to study.

The first large entertainment for the
benefit of the Portland Auditorium fund
will be given the latter part of May by
the Portland Auditorium Association, in
which the Daughrs of the Confeder
acy and the Monday Musical Club are the
prime movers. Committees of these two
organizations are arranging for a mam.
moth minstrel show in which only women
will participate. The Idea is a good one
as in this style of performance, which
will be a distinct novelty, the two clubs
will be-able to furnish no end of talent.
It is planned to present typical
Dixie minstrels and a grand ensemble
first part with about 60 women on the
stage who will give strength and volume
to the big concerted numbers which will
be rendered. Eight "end women" will
be seen in topical songs and dances in
which the tambos will play an active
part. Thse safron-colored damsels will
also furnish the comedy features in
jokes and local hits. In tho second part
the programme will contain the names
of some of Portland's leading artists, to
gether with attractions from several oth
er local organizations. Many of the fea
tures to be seen at the big bfeneflt are
already being rehearsed.
Three performances will be given and
the affair no doubt will be a big success.
The auditorium Is a much needed insti
tution and the women who have inter
ested themselves In its behalf should
receive the support of the entire city.
The Monday Musical Club has a large
membership and Its president, Mrs. H.
A. Heppner, together with Mrs. C J.
Allen, president of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, are among the active work
ers for the auditorium fund.
At the- reception In the form of a Jap
anese tea given last Friday by . the
Woman's Club, Mrs. Fred L. Olson, so
prano, rendered Newton's "April Song,"
Miss Florence Jackson being her piano
accompanist. Mrs. Olson's encores were
a serenade, "Philosophy," ; and "Just Her
Way." An orcliestra played a number of
pleasing selections and Miss Elane For
rest, soprano, sang "The Bravura Polka."
Lomin' Thro' the Rye. " "Cupid and I"
and "Silver Moon." This musical pro
gramme won many pleasant compli
ments. In view of the fact that the new Heilig
Theater will not be finished at the time
originally contemplated, the Portland
Festival Chorus, William H. Boyer di
rector, will not hold Its usual Spring
musical festival this season. Chorus work
for 11)09-10 will probably cease in a few
weeks with a social reunion of the chorus
members, on which occasion it is likely
that several of the chorus numbers re
hearsed will be sung, along with solos by
a local soloist.
The choir of St. Mary's Cathedral, aug
mented for the occasion, will sing Ros
sini's "Stabat Mater," with eecompani
ment provided by a professisonal orches
tra and pipe organ, all under the direc
tion of Frederick" W. Goodrich, choir
master and organist of tho cathedral.
The date for rendition is not definitely
settled, but will probably be about the
middle of May. Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer
will be the soprano soloist. The other
soloists have not yet been determined
upon.

TEETH TO EAT WITH
One of the ereatest features of the
Rex Dental Co.'s Alveolar Method of
supplying teeth without plates or
DrldgeworK is that they are instantly
available to eat with.
A certain man came to us one day
not over a year ago, and wo supplied
him with a new set of Alveolar teeth.
"Now for a sirloin." he oald. an he
left. Ho came back next day all smiles
T had not enjoyed a meal so much
in 20 years as the one I sat down to an
hour after leaving your offices," he
said. "These are the real thing; they
are teeth to eat with sure enough."
This is a common occurrence in these
offices, but not every patient is able to
voice his satisfaction In such an ex
pressive and original fashion We
would line to show you samples of
our work in the office and refer you
to some of our patients. Some of the
best-known people of this city and

on "partial" plates or a piece of ordi
nary "bridge" work that is a torture
some thing to bite on are simply "teeth
for looks."' They fill up gaps in the
line, but won't do for hard work.
All we ask is that you have two or
more teeth left In the Jaws, around
which we build our structure.
We make the new teeth firm nri
solid, so you can bite and chew your
food in a natural manner.
It is a practical nlan of teeth restor
