FROM the New Tork Review, under
a biff headline. "Know Swin
burne's Poems by Heart." is 4 new
picture of Anne Swinburne Dltchburn,
a Portland girl who has leaped into fa
voritism In New York, la taken the
following: "Ann Swinburne, niece of
the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne,
could reproduce her uncle's lyrical
poems from memory if every copy in
the world were to be destroyed. Ma
canlay boasted that he could do this
with 'Paradise Lost,' and Miss Swin
burne declares she could do it for
'Poems and Ballads." "
But, loyal as she is to her uncle's
fame, she has found a new poetic god
in the person of John Masefleld, whose
recent sensational narrative poems.
The Everlasting Mercy' and The
Widow in the Bye Street' she has com
mitted to memory.
" "Maseneld is the greatest poet of
our time, the says. 'He is magnifi
cently strong and takes the rudest life
around us and makes it as musical as
Apollo's lute. I have the support of
Alma Gluck In my hope of giving, in
the near future, an afternoon of read
ings from Masefleld." "
John W. Consldlne. head of the Stil-livan-Consldlne
theatrical circuit and
owner of SO or 40 theaters, has gone to
New Tork for a' vlslt Hear' the way
an exchange In the big town tells of
his arrival: "John W. Consldlne has
come out of the West with a preocu-
pled air. Mr. Consldlne took , up his
headquarters at the Metropole and, af
ter thinking things over for a time,
told the reason for his preoccupation.
"He had Invented a new drink.
"Mr. Consldlne said: 'It refreshes and
hceers. If one takes too much, it will
inebriate.'
The make-up of the drink ts as fol
lows: "Squeexc the Juice of .one orange Into
a long glass which has been filled with
ice. -
"Add the white of an egg.
"One jlsger of Old Tom gin.
"Spoonful of sugar. ;
"Shake until it is ice cold, then drink
it. '
"The name of this discovery Is 'or
ange blossoms.' "
James K. Hackett has secured a new
play. "The Game of Masks," by Ferdi
nand Gottschalk, and will produce It
during his San Francisco engagement,
which opens at the Columbia Theater
on July 21.
Lucy Weston, the English comedl
Vnne, has reformed, she says, since she
came a-visiting this section of the
country via the Orpheum. Says an ac
count of it In a theatrical publication:
"Lucy Weston, comedienne, wishes
the world at large to know that she
has turned over a new leaf and will
not hereafter render risque songs.
"There never has been any question
about the naughtiness of Miss Wes
ton's repertoire. Only Miss Weston's
oemureness and cleverness made some
of her numbers acceptable.
" 'I have dropped all that Bort of
thing.' said Miss Weston. 'In the West
these songs do not .go any more. They
. are not wanted in better vaudeville,
and I'm a progressive, you know.' "
The coming season is to be the most
active for Werba A ioieshcer in the
history of that hustling young Arm.
Three "Rose Maid" companies, three
"Spring Maid" organizations, a new
play for Mizsi Hajos. another for
Christie MacDonald. Alice Lloyd in
"Little Miss Fix-It" and a new play,
and Louis Mann and Clara Lipman In
important productions are among the
enterprises which they are now plan
ning. . . . -
All of which would apparently stamp
as silly the rumor that this partnership
is about to dissolve or that the mem
bers are to go their individual ways.
Maude Powell, the violinlste, who
has often appeared In Portland in con
cert. Is seriously ill at her home In
Phoenicia, N. Y., the victim of an au
tomobile accident. Miss Powell is in
private life Mrs. H. Godfrey Turner.
The accident was ocasioned by Mr.
Turner, a novice at the wheel, driving
it into a tree, throwing Miss Powell
through the wind shield and seriously
injuring himself as well.
.
Madame Schumann-Heink should
follow closely the text of that other
old lady "who had so many children
she didn't know what to do." Hans
Schumann-Heink, one of her sons, is
going to have to pay $25,000 of his
great mother's money Into the cofTers
of the Forner family, of Dresden, Ger
many, because he jilted their daughter,
Johanna Alice.
After an absence of only 15 minutes
the special Jury in the United States
Court, before Judge Cress, in Trenton,
N. J., returned to announce that they
had awarded this sum to the pretty
brunette whose testimony was gften
wholly through an interpreter.
Toung Schumann-Heink was not
present, nor was he represented In any
way. He has ignored the suit from its
beginning early In the year.
Their acquaintance, said the plain
tilt on the stand, began at the home of
he rmother In Dresden, February. 1908.
She was then studying music and art.
Their friendship quickly ripened into
love and they both became absorbed In
plans, suggested by Schumann-Heink,
to purchase the Inn Frau Forner con
ducted and settle down there, ignor
ing better offers from other bidders,
she had agreed to sell the property to
her prospective son-in-law for 80.000
marks about 930.000.
Then followed the tale of his return
to America and the letters she had re
ceived from him from his home at
Slgae, Passaic County, New Jersey,
-where he now Uvea .
It was expected that the plaintiff's
1-year-old daughter would be brought
to court by its mother, but she ap
peared alone with' her counsel.
And now It's Mrs. Leslie Carter who
Is going to be a comedienne. This
tltian-halred emotional actress, who
has never in her career of 20-odd years
done any but dames with cerise pasts
and reforming presents, is to appear
next season in a farce comedy,' whose
title ungrammatically asks "Whom
Does Helen Belong ToT Mrs. Carter
will be Helen, of course. The play Is
from the German of E be r hard Buehner,
by Ferdinand Gottschalk. Under., the
title, "Wem Genort Helene," it was
produced first at the Neues Theater in
Berlin in 1909, and remained at that
playhouse for two years. Then it was
taken to Vienna, where it played one
year. It's a modern story, arid devel
ops the unique predicament of Helen
Somebody, who is at one and the same
time- the wife of two men. She is not
a bigamist, it seems, but merely an
other victim of that cruel monster, cir
cumstances. The play is to have Its
first presentation in English at the
Teck Theater in Buffalo about Octo
ber first.
Sporting Note. James J. Corbett,
former heavyweight cham-peen, some
time actor and minstrel man. is to ap
year again in vaudeville at an .amuse
ment park in New York. He Is having
a new monologue written for his use.

Minnie Tittle-Brune Is to open the
Knickerbocker Theater In New York
on September 2 with a play caled "An
Astec Romance." According to English
critics the play was tried out" In the
provinces with not sufficient success
to warrant bringing it into London
but Charles Frohman acting lor Klaw
& Erlanger decided It was worth try
ing in America. Mrs. Tittle-Brune
which was In Its before-fame days
Brown has had a vicarious career
since going to London via Australia.
She and her two sisters were favorites
In Portland when theatricals was in
its embryo stage, and were popularly
known as the three Tittle sisters. Es
ther, one of the trio, is the wife of
Wallace Munro, who Is advance man
ager for Blanche Bates, and visited
here recently. Minnie Tittle-Brune has
achieved many notable successes, also
she has had her share of failures.
Strange to say she has never played
in New York City. Her last appear
ance on this side was in "Theodore."

Lady Lfvlnnvtone.
Lady Livingstone Is said to bo
the only bear in the world who
can skate. Certainly her lady
ship Is such a speedy performer
that few of the men cracks could
possibly keep up with her. The
oddest feature of her performance
Is that she practically taught
herself through natural curiosity.-
Pri D. B. Boyd, her trainer, has
had the bear a long time, travel
ing about the country. One day
the bear began to play with some
roller skates, and Dr Boyd fash
ioned a pair that could be at
tached to her hind feet. That
was all the Instruction she ever -received,
and as a result the
bear has developed a facility on
a polished floor that could hardly
be Imagined. Lady Livingstone is

two years she- has starred in the East

the company assembled by Miss Coun

Baker Stock Company will begin next
Sunday matinee and that most famous
of all farces written around tne Idea
of secret societies and called "Are You
a Mason V will be presented In all its
hilarity. For years this play has been
in the public tpotllght and that it has
stood the test without losing any of
Its original power ..to tickle even
sphinx goes without saying. It baa
been several years since the play was
last seen In Portland. Coming on Elk
week It Is appropriate.
"Are You a Mason?" doesn't burlesque
the customs of secret societies. . It
merely deals with the unlucky adven
tures that happen to a couple of mar
ried men who pretend they havo joined
the Masons in order to satisly. their
wives as to why; they are out certain
nights and as neither one knows the
other is just bluffing and Is In mortal

lodge to which he is supposed to be-
