TTTK SUNDAY OKKCrONIAJ. FO KTIi AND. JUNE 3Q, 1913, - ' 1 i l. I NEWS AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS EDITED BT LEOXE CASS BIBB. 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. - e 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." a translation of the Sardou drama, pre pared for the late Fanny Davennort. Billie Burke will open her season in "The Mlnd-the-Palnt Girl," Arthur Pl- OXIT BEAR ABLE TO SKATE (SEEN AT OAKS AMUSE ME.T PARK. 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 a part of the new bill at the Oaks Amusement Park. nero's new comedy on show girls, at Atlantic City, Labor Day. The pice is now running at the Duke of York's Theater, London.
