APREEZT. chatty note from Isetta
Jewel la yesterday's mall will be
of general Interest. I'm sure. If
H's doled out In Just the btt that
pertain to this delightful young actress.
"Doesn't tho time fly by quickly?"
writ this Jewel Udy. In a Una scrawl
on awfully "scrumptious" stationery,
oft yellow, with a wonderful motber-of-fold
monogram flattened out at the
top. "Here It la almost time for me
to start on my trip Writ, and Oh. I am
so clad, gladder. ITleddest- I ran aee
In my mind a eye every Identical loot of
land I'm a-olng- to traverse, all my old
haunts I'm to revisit: and all the dear
folk I know out there; out home. I
rail It to myself, softly, because I ft
little aches and longings for Portland.
1 e-uess It'a pure unadulterated home
sickness, nothing more. Hut when I
ay -out home" aloud I believe my voice
reaches a crescendo and I yell It. Just
'cause I want people to know I belong
out there.
Reverting to her present play. "Sire,
la which she Is Otis Skinner s leading
lady. Mlas Jewel says. "I fir Mr. Skin
ner will not brlna- -Sire' West, so you
people out there won't ret to see It.
I am sorry, too. for I adore my part
of I-eonte Bouguet.
In Washington a few weeks ago
we played to the President, and wasn't
1 proud? He sat In the smite box with
Mrs. President, the very channln Miss
President and several (Jcuests. The
whole theater was gorgeoua with even
lng irowas and dress clothes. It waa
my first experience playing- to our
highest gentleman.
"Our New Tork run closed last Sat
urday and we are here at Atlantis City.
The weather Is brisk and cold. Just like
a rare, flne January day In Portland:
all the hotels are full and the Board
Walk la a constant dress parade. -ne
would hardly expect It In mld-WIn-ter.
. . . We are going en tour now
for awhile. ... I expect to be la
Portland by June surely." m
And right along In this connection
be It known that Miss Jewel's pretty
face adorned some page of some paper
every day of her New Tork stay, and
many were the columns of 'Interview
printed of her and nice were the things
said about her. Witness: -Ixetta Jewel
Is a pleasing young woman of unde
niable talent for the stage and a varied
assortment of gasps and gurgles that
ought to carrr her far on the road to
fame In an age which accounts such
gifts as the signs of theatrical emi
nence. Then she has strong personal
charm."
And again: "Otis Fklnner was at his
best In the Joyous responsibility of his
romping love scenes with Ixetta Jewel,
who did a splendid piece or work, tier
gaety and levity were contagious, she
rented to take Are from Skinner, and
together thev gamboled over the stage
In absolutely light-hearted abandon.
rhe was as delightful In her way as he
was In his."
Margaret Illlngton. having completed
her tO'r of 30 weeks In all the prln
rloa! Western cities, closed her sea
son In Montreal last week and goes at
once to New Tork to begin Immediate
preparations for a Spring tour, which
has already been outlined and which
will Include her appearance In the me
tropolis before the close of the present
theatrical year. Phe Is to stsrt re
hearsals at once In a new play, and she
Is herself authority for tlie statement
that It Is the best one she has ever
had. While she Is not yet ready to
divulge the name of the new play.
Miss Islington admits that It la the
product of a famous foreign author,
whose work has not been as yet
touched upon on this side of the At
lantic. On Monday. April S. at Washington.
r. C. Miss Illlngton will Inaugurate
her Spring campaign In this drsma.
This engagement will be followed by
appearances In Boston for the ensuing
few weeks, prior to her New Tork en
gagement, which will begin soon after
I.ent. for an unlimited season at one
of the Shubert theaters.

Blanche Walsh has entirely recovered
from her Illness and has resumed her
tour In "The Other Woman." under
the management of Al II. Woods. Miss
Walsh fainted white about to go on
the stage at Peoria. 111., recently, and
was compelled to dismiss her audience.
It waa feared ht the time that she
was crlttcallv 111 and could not play
again for some time, but she recovered
ouickly and experts to flnlsii her sea
son. A concensus of reports seems to In
dicate that In William Kaversham s
new play "The Faun." this actor Is bet
ter than he has ever been. The play
Itself Is a sensation and a disturbing
one at that, but valuable withal, for
are not all sensations valuable? "A
piece." ssya one reviewer, "that t!r
yonr senses, your heart and your men
tality. The piping from the words Is
divine: and the little green grape psy
chology of woman is absorbing."
e
Mary Garden is writing a book, or at
least she says to the newspapers that
she intends writing one. Its title, she
says, is to be "Men and Women"
which most of us will agree with the
author-to-be Is "quite a subject." But
Mary feels she can handle the matter
thoroughly, she says, because she has
met so many people. I'p to going to
press all the fair singer has said
sounds like she'd been reading the
story of Miss McLaln. of Butte.
John Sherman, for manv weeks a
great favorite In the local Baker Stork
Company and who Is now a member of
the Spokane Baker organisation, was
a week-end guest with friends In Tort
land. e
The only actor who positively does
not court an Interview has come to
light In the person of William Gillette.
Admirable actor end man. he Is re
markably reticent as to his profes
sional life, holding that his work and
appearance on the boards Is of itself
explanatory and all that a public
should reasonably expect from him. On
one occasion when the customary cut
and -dried "Interview" waa suggested.
M . Olllette Is reported to have said.
"I will not under any circumstances
talk of my work: the public has ample
opportunity to see It and Judge for
Itself. I do not work by any theories
or rules: whatever occurs to me I mt
down. I have no views about the
drama. Ita decline, or otherwise, and
I do not work with lofty Ideals of art.
The only art that I hold In view Is that
of producing something that will please
the public sufficiently to attract It In
paying numbers. The public dlrecss
the drama, so It seems well to look to
the power behind the throne, especially
when It Is saying one thing and Insist
ing on another."
Which Is certainly frankness Itself,
wholly to the point and truly philo
sophical. Most of them take eight
times as much space to say 40 times
less.

Grace Cameron, who was here during
Alice Lloyd week at the Orpheum. and
was one of the features at the local
Press Club's "Night Off." at the Helllg.
has closed her tour In "Nancy" after a
season of one-night stands. She Is ne
gotiating to return East over the Sulll-van-ConsWine
circuit as a "single" In
vaudeville.

Also Marie Corelll la writing a play.
Hera Is a one-act drama on the suf
frage question, to be presented soon at
the Hippodrome Theater in London. The
name chosen Is "The Sedan Chair."
Miss Corelll Intends selecting her own
cast and superintending tfie rehearsals.
Thla Is her first attempt. In drama and

Mabel Rowland, who came out from
that unfathomable and mysterious place
designated always by us as "the East"
to play second leads a: the Baker Stock
Company when Miss Cameron waa lead
ing woman, has a really Interesting
story In the current 5reen Book on
The Land of Git." The etory deals
largely with Miss Rowland's experiences
while a member of a photo-playing or
ganisation, the "land of the gtt" being
Miss Rowland's expression for the nickel
theaters.
Maude Adams will not r'ay Chantecler
In London during coronation week.
Charles Frohman Is conaWerlng an of
fer from Madame Simons La Barry, tha
hen pheasant of the original production
at the Theater Porte Saint Martin, who
wishes to assume the title role In Eng
lish. She has already played L'Adver
salre In English under the management
of George Alexander at the St- James'
Theater. London. As Mr. Frohman has
not announced bis decision. Madame La
Bargy is still only a possibility for the

Ann Swinburne, the rest of whose name
Is Dltchburn and In whom Portlander
tske great Interest because of ber meteor
like Jump Into recognition as an actress
and songstress, appeared recently at a
benefit performance at the Maxine Elliott
Theater In New Tork In a short play.
"The Kid Faun." by Amelle Rives,
who, as everyone knows. Is known as
the Princess Troubetxkoy. Of the event
the Dramatic Mirror says:
Tha patient part of the audience saw two
short Dlairs b Amelle Rives, and heard reci

Alia Naalmovs. who was transplanted
from the Yiddish to the English-soeak'ng
stage by Henry Miller, has come under
the direction of Charles Frohman. Ma
dame Naximova first appeared in thla
country In the company with Paul Orlen

senting dramas by Ibsen. Gorky and other
European playwrights. Among the plays

duction of which Orleneff ran Into trou

Naximova did not return to her native
country, but began to study for tha English-sneaking
sts-te and made her debut
In English In "The Doll's House" during
the season of l-i:C. As yet Mr. Froh
man has made no plans for his new star.

the fantastical musical comedy. "The
Arcadians." which comes heralded by
the most enthusiastic plaudits of Lon
don and New York. "The Arcadians'
will be sung here by the cast seen In
the New York theater for 10 weeks of
the current season.
"The Arcadians" has a fanciful story
whimsical enough to have been devised
by Gilbert. Mark Amblant and A. M
Thompson wrote the book and the mu
sic Is by Lionel Monckton and How
ard Talbot, who wrote tha. music of
"Our M'ss Gibbs." The plot deals
with the adventures of a London res
taurant-keeper. who takes a trip In an
airship and lands In "Arcadia." where
Truth. Beauty and Simplicity form tha
reigning trlology.
EDWARD TERRY TO FLAY HERE
English Actor Will Be Sera at Helllg
Theater In Two Plays.
The distinguished comedian. Edward
Terry, romea to the Helllg Theater on
March 13 and 14, the opening night.
Monday. In "Sweet Lavender." Tuesday
In "The Magistrate," two delightful
plays which have endeared him to
English theatergoers for a generation
past. It has been some six years since
Mr. Terry last visited the United States,
and though at that time he did not
visit this city, his fame Is well known
here and he will, undoubtedly, receive
a hearty welcome.
No English actor of the present day
Is said to know so well how to excite
tha risibilities of his audience as this
excellent comedian, whose exuberant
humor and quaint sententious philoso
phy underlie his Impersonations.
The plays which he will present her
seem to have been well chosen from
the long list of successes which he has
made as a producing manager In Lon
don and the provinces. The opening
bill. "Sweet Lavender." that most
widely appreciated of all Sir Arthur
Plnrrb's plays, was first produced at
Terry's Theater. London, over SO years
ago. As Dick Phenyl, the briefless bar
rister, bankrupt In purse and reputa
tion, who Is the witty, whimsical and
tender-hearted hero. Mr. Terry haa a
role admirably calculated to show to
advantage hla quaint humor. Since Its
original production, he has played it
4000 times.
BALLET MASTER HAS RIGHT
FariMan Court Decides He Is Enti
tled to Mm re of Royalty.
PAJtlS. March 4. (Special) Tha
actual choregraphy of a ballet Is a
work of art, and the author, that Is to
say. the ballet-master or. as In this
Instance, mistress who has arranged
the steps, can claim copyright and
equal royalties with the composer of
the music and the writer of the lib
retto. Such Is the decision Just given
by a Paris court. The opera ballet
mistress. Madame Slichel. la fully en
titled to her share In the royalties of
a ballet for which the lata Catulle
Mendea wrote the libretto and M.
Reynaldo Hahn the music
The Court, in giving Its decision,
says that the action of a ballet, which
by Itself constitutes a play, requires
the same clearness and attraction as
any other kind of play. The mimics
and the dance have a particular lm-

port. To retain the attention of the
spectators the master or mistress of the
ballet, who is not a mere scenic pro
ducer, must display his or her Ingenu
ity to reproduce, by the play of phys
iognomy, attitude and gestures, the
subject of the libretto.
The ballet must express the move
ments of admiration. Indifference or
revulsion, and any other sentiments
that the persons of the ballet are sup
posed to feel. The scenic action, there
fore. Is something entirely different
from the mere music or the libretto.
It requires a certain amount of In
ventiveness and new Ideas. The ballet
master or mistress produces a work of
art entirely his or her own, and there
fore, he or she has a perfect right to a
share In the royalties. The Court de
cided in this particular case that the
share in the ballet of Madame Stlchel
should be the same as that of the lib
rettist and the composer. It added that
M. Reynaldo Hahn, the composer, had
himself admitted that Madame Stlchel,
by experience, taste and artistic in
vention, had contributed to the success
of the ballet.
ANCIENT BATHS RESTORED
Resort Ruilt by Emperor Diocletian
Again In Use.
ROME. March 4. (Special). A great
and pleasant surprise now awaits the
visitor on his arrival In Rome. Even
those who have never been here know
by report the Baths of Diocletian, that
huge monument of antiquity which
originally covered a space a mile
square and accommodated 300 bathers.
The baths were built by the Kmperor
Diocletian and his co-regent Maximil
ian. In A. D. 35.
There stand on the site several
churches. Including the magnificent
one of Santa Maria del Angell. into
which the sudatorium and tepldarium
of the baths were converted by Michel
Angelo. It was here that the marriage
of the present King was celebrated.
Since the baths fell Into decay after
the Gothic Invasion of A. D. 410. the
vast halls which remain have been
divided into comparatively small rooms
and built into the, corners of the great
buildings were little wine shops, sta
bles and fifth-rate Inns. Strange as
it may appear, after passing through
the hands of many proprietors, the
largest part of the baths belonged un
til last year to Stgnor Tlttoni. the ex-
minister of foreign' affairs, who was
for some time ambassador in London
and Is now In Paris. The government
had to purchase the land and buildings
from him and then evicted those who
desecrated this sacred spot. This no
ble monument has now been restored
to its original magnificence.
In this unique edifice will be held
an exhibition of antiquities and copies
of antique objects and monuments sent
from all parts of the ancient Koman
Empire.
Professor H. H- Forbes says that Arlsona
has a potential water supply for purposes
of Irrigation, including the ordinary flow
of stresms. stnrsge snd subterranean waters
sraJInble by pumping, of approximately 4.-
393.OH0 acre feet a year, pnouch to permit
of the Intensive terming or ever a minion I
