THE- SUNDAY OREGONIAJf. PORTLAND, JUIi" 10, 1910. 5hia result was by taking the general iverage of the plays named by all corre spondents -who submitted lists, each cor respondent naming 25 plays which In his opinion were more frequently acted than any others. The Judges In this contest included Margaret Anglin and Channlng Pollock. The lists demonstrate also very clearly :hat Dion Boucicault, who was the most proline of American playwrights. If not of all the English-speaking writers who ?ver wrote plays, is still the most popu lar American dramatist,- four of his .rvorks being included "Rip "Van Winkle," "Jerry the Tramp" (his version being J ailed "Inahavogue"), "Kathleen Ma- ourneen" and "The Octoroon." A New York restaurant, bent on out going its rivals in catering to the public. s Arranging to install a moving-picture plant. The design is to entertain the guests Erhile they are dining by having screens n two sides, on which the best motion ictures will be displayed. This announce ment has caused considerable satisfac- ion In theatrical circles. Managers, as well known, blame the moving-picture braze for a great share of the slump In truslness. It is hoped that the example thus set will be rapidly followed by other restaurants and dining-rooms and - that n , this war the moving-picture houses. liumbering nearly 1000 in New York, will be gradually driven out of business, for t Is a notorious fact that the public soon eases to take an Interest In a fad that bests nothing. These from "The Follies of 1910" are o the point: "Whenever a mant not having a good time It's either because there is a woman 1-pr because there isn't." It you want a woman to be happy al- U'ays keep her well ' supplied with troubles." At Hartford, Sunday,- June 19, a me- fnorlal window in memory of Dr. and Mrs. Charles A. Skinner and their son. harles M. Skinner, was unveiled n the Church or tne . jteaeemer. i ne vindow was put in place by order of Otis kinner and other members of the Skin- er family. Dr. Skinner, father of Otis nd Charles' Skinner, was pastor of th hurch from 1867 to 1877, during which ime his two sons were born. Charles kinner died two years ago. Otis Skinner s now in Europe, but will return in the atter part of August to take up his lay, "Tour Humble Servant, in which will tour again next season, Degin- ing his engagement in New York, Sep- ember 26.

Ivriter of short stories, whose real name It-as William Sydney Porter, occurred at time when he had started to write his rst play, which remains- uncompleted mong his literary leavings. With Franklin Adams he had a hand In a musical comedy produced in Chicago last season, entitled "Do," but he had ever written, anything else for the stage. He furnished Paul Armstrong with the lot for "Alias Jimmy Valentine," which he former elaborated from one of lenry's short stories, and it is undeo tpod that another playwright has worked onrie of the dead authors short story liiaterlal Into a play which is soon to be nnnunced among next season's attrao- lona. e Now that vacation season has begun. biany of the familiar faces about the Iub will be missing for short periods Turing the Summer.

J - SCOTS' SiMf&VZVJ Centuries may come and centuries may go, but the Third Degree goes on forever. Just now Interest is high in this muct-talked of sweating system of the police. Certain persons high in the circles of the reformers have em phatically condemned these methods, claiming that persons accused of crime are given no chance, but re put through a process of mental torture, equalled perhaps only by the o'd physical tortures of the Inquisition, until they confess a crime of which they may or may not be guilty. Police offl- cials, on the other hand, call attention to the fearful handicap under which they are always working. They are constantly engaged in" a game of hide and seek with the criminal classes, with the eyes of the entire community always upon them. They assert that the odds are always so great in favor of the criminal that they, the polloe, are justified in using practically any means to attain their ends. One of the most striking demonstrations of the working of the Third De gree is given in a new act, "The t Police Inspector," by Clay M. Greene and Harrison Armstrong, that will receive a production at The Orpheum, dur ing the week of July 18. Those who have seen this act claim for it every re quirement of a three-act drama. It is complete, absorbing and, unlike most "dramatic sketches presented In vaudeville, is possible in its situations. The producers of the new act confidently expect another hit that will rival that of "Circumstantial Evidence." room is again at hand. Any member with a suggestion as to what should be In cluded in the list will be gratefully re ceived at the office. ' Forty-one maga zines and periodicals are on the list al ready made up. These are subscribed for through Miss Doane, an invalid. - Many of the embryo billiard experts who saw Cllne and Demarest in their pretty exhibition at the club are busily engaged m trying to master the shots of tfatricia O'Brien and Aunt Mary, respect the experts. The two Cavills. in their swimming ex hibition on Thursday night, gave a won derful demonstration of what man can do in the water. The club races were also good.. After the programme was carried out, a social swim was held and was well attended. F. H. "V. Andrews, one of Multnomah's delegates to the international tennis tournament at Spokane, was elected president of the North Pacific Interna tional Lawn Tennis Association. The annual tournament next year will be held at Irvlngton Club. , Wickers ham and Gbrrill won the dou bles championship of the Northwest as predicted by many of the local tennis devotees. Wickersham was beaten in the finals of the men's singles." He evidently got stage fright for the telegraphic re ports say that his nerve was not good. That usually is "Wick's" strong point. He is young and will get anotner chance next year. The new tennis courts are about com pleted. The fences dividing the four courts are up and all that remains to be done is to sprinkle and finish the roll ing. . This will be done this week. Mult nomah will then have the finest tennis layout in the Northwest. ( Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary." For three years Miss Robson has been delighting playgoers with her rejuvenescent Aunt Mary, and now she finds that her ad mirers will not allow her to relinquish the role. Like Rose S tail's "Chorus Lady," Miss Robson's Aunt Mary bids fair to become a classic. Overwhelming success in a part has its disadvantages, as is witnessed by the Inability of Miss Stahl and Miss Robson to break away from Alice IJoyd, the English comedienne. sailed on the Mauretania last week- for i Lonesome Pine jLjOnaon. ana was accompamea Dy ner husband, Tom McNaughton, of "The Two McNaughtons," who were seen at the Orpheum here last season on the same bill with Miss Lloyd. All three are booked for a return in the Fall. This from the Dramatic Mirror hits the proverbial nail on its head: A writer illustrating the dearth of other exceptional matters concerning stage people at this season dwells upon the characteristics of the laughing of various players. One, he says, has laugh "clear and flute-like ively. Last Tuesday afternoon, in order to vary the monotony of appearing con tinuously in one part. Miss Robson "tried out" a new piece called "The Rich Mrs. Repton," in Omaha, Neb. However the play will not be continued as a regular attraction, but will be used now and then by Miss Robson as a sort of "relaxator." Miss Robson was seen in this delight ful play last season in Portland, when she appeared at the Bungalow Theater. The engagement is announced of Eileen Anglin, sister of Margaret Anglin, to Lieutenant Charles Thomas Hutchlns, U. S. N., son of Rear-Admiral Hutchlns.. The wedding, It is announced, will occur next month. Miss Anglin is herself a member of the professelon, having ap peared with Lawrence D'Orsay and Ce cilia Loftus in "The Lancers." v . ' Bowmen Bulger, the well-known news paper writer on baseball topics, and the author of the successful vaudeville sketch, "Swat Mllllgan," is now work ing upon another vaudeville vehicle which tells a war story. It Is as yet unnamed, but Howard Lange, who appeared In "The Climax," will be featured. The act is to be produced within four weeks on United time. "Truxton King," which George Ban McCutcheon has announced is the last of his series of Graustark novels, is being dramatized and will be produced with a popular star in the title role next Spring. xne dramatization of "The Trail of the by John Fox, Jr.. has been completed. The play will have a Broadway production in the early Fall. BIG ESTATE WILL BE SOLD Four Wiltshire Villages Are to Go to New Owner. LONDON, July 9. (Special.) Few countries have had more, big landed estates nnllt nn In f i last in vaa-wm another's ' tnan Wiltshire, England. War Office laugh resembles "the ripping of a tough piece of canvas or a dull buzz-saw"; an other's Is "like the sound of a cuckoo clock at midnight"; another's resembles "the splash of a fountain"; another's is "like a tune played on musical glasses," and still another's Is "zephyr-like" -if purchases have alienated from 40,000 to 50,000 acres from private ownership, banishing two such landlords as Lord St. Aldwyn from Netheravon and Sir John Kelk from Tidworth.

During four days at the end of this month the Erlestoke estate is to .be sold. There was a forerunner of this Bale three years ago, when 2.200 acres in the outlying portions of the estate were sold for $150,000. The present sale Includes practically the whole of four Wiltshire villages, farms, public houses, shops and cottages. The estate covers an area of 7400 acres. It In cludes the Erlestoke estate, a resl dental, agricultural and sporting estate of 1200 acres, a fourteenth century priory house with the original monas tery fishpond and gardens, several old world houses and small residences, 14 vale dairy forms, five upland mixed farms and numerous small holdings of from one acre to 90 acres. From the sentimental point of view, the sale Is much to be regretted, though It is not denied that there may be compensating advantages. The former glories of Erlstoke Park In the time of the grandfather of the present owner are famous in Wiltshire history. The hospitaHty of the splen did mansion was princely, among the guests being Princess, afterward Queen Victoria, and her mother and some of the most noted literary men of the day. Two years arter the royal visit the superb contents of the mansion were sold, and for nearly 20 years it was in alien occupation until the father of -he present owner returned and lived there until -his death, six years ago. . The present owner succeeded to Im mense property partly in and round the town of Devizes, which town in former days the family represented in Par liament. This property was included in the earlier sale, and that now cat alogued is all rural. The 15 girls and boys comprising the hiembershlp of the Younger Set Musical Hub are looking forward, they and their riany friends in town, to a high-class audeville entertainment which the club' s to give at the Bungalow Theater July 5. to raise money for the club s treasury.

Miss Margaret Coligan. known as the petite and vivacious soubrette. will pre sent some of her original child imper sonations, .described as "a scream from start to finish." Miss Sherma Dana has frequently been featured In vaudeville in this city end has won many admirers with her clever dramatic work- She will represent the Younger Set with sparkling specialties. Many of the young enter tainers say they are studyina for grand opera. VEHICLES CONGEST, PARIS Room in Streets Is Too Small for Wheeled Traffic. PARIS, July 9. (Special.) Everyone has long been complaining of the con gestion of the traffic in the streets of Paris, and a report on the subject which has been drawn up by M. Mas sard for the Municipal Council shows that this outcry Is fully Justified. He calculates that there is one vehicle to 41 Inhabitants, and that the proportion of velocipedes is actually one to 16.
