Bernhardt and Mrs.' risks were all
playing In one company over at a
dinky showhouse In Portland and their
rival attraction was the snake-like
Gerty and her dancers, that the S. R. O.
signs would be tacked up early ro
frost of the letter's door, and that the
only audience the others would have
would be made up of those who could
not get In to see the dancer.
Everybody In Portland who could
buy. beg or borrow a seat saw Miss
Hoffmann. In a production that tor
gorgeous lavlshneee and real beauty of
setting and staging would make an
Oriental potentate sit tip and take
down notes, without Miss Hoffmann
the dancing of the Russians was so
entertainment that was unique and
beautiful: add Mls Hoffmsnn and It
became dangerously alluring, sugges
