THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAIT, PORTLAND. JULY 21. 1912. 3 VENTILATING SYSTEM AT HEILIG IS AN IDEAL ONE - 9 By Means of a Gigantic Fan Temperature in Popular Theater Is Main tained at 72 Degrees on the Hottest Days. THE temperature or tn outsiae world cuts no figure In the Helllg Theater, for an elaborate ventila tion system. Installed in the basement. has drawn a magic circle about the balding, inside which the thermometer Is positively prevented Xrom cutting any of the eccentric didoes of which It may be guilty In other places. Wednesday afternoon, when every where In the city Ice cream had be come a fluid and linen collars had sunk Into flabby dejection under a heat of degrees, the interior of the Hetlig registered an unwavering 1 2. - this made it a haven of refuge to those who were persecuted by the heat out side. "Standing by the entrance that af ternoon." said Manager Panicle, "one accustomed to the steady temperature of the Interior would be half choked by the overpowering wave of heat that rushed In with the crowd from the streets when the doors were opened." Heat Stopa at Doors. This heat can get no further than the doors, however, for a cool breeze sweeping through a register In the entrance dissipates it before it can af fect the Interior. Down In the basement two enormous fans are at work silently pumping out the foul air and replacing It with fresh air. sucked down from the roof and cooled to a temperature of 70 degrees. The air from the roof passes over a great curtain of burlap which Is kept moist by a steady stream of cold water. No matter what may be its temperature when it leaves the outer world, air is onickly reduced to a condition of com fortable coolness by this treatment. The fan that brings down this air and untcs i. niivuo" . - n feet In diameter, with blades four feet In width, ana is anven ay io-uui o Cooled by Its passage over the wet curtain of burlap, the air is forced up through great ducts from which It pours out over the gallery, balcony and parquet, through two fretted openings by the orchestra pit.

I can Imitate Miss Eva In a way that would deceive a Brother of the famous Tanguay (If he'd never seen her play And I'm really even prouder Of my act as Harry Lauder. Which, the managers Inform me. Is a riot In Its way. George M. Cohan as I show him In my "take-off" you would know him. And at Imitating Warfleld I can give the public joy; And my stunt that's patterned after Raymond Hitchcock causes laughter. And I've really got 'em going Imitating Eddie Foy. Oh. I'm quite some little wizard.. And I've doped 'em A to izzard. I can take off Mary Garden; as Caruso I'm a scream; With a magic that'll floor you I can put John Drew before you: And at Imitating Sothern I'm a wonder and a dream. There is nothing any jollier Than my act as Willie Collier, And at mocking Imitators I'm as clev er as can be; There Is no one any greater As a perfect Imitator And the way I crack my knuckles is original with me! i Speaking of "correct imitators." Alice Fleming called up to say she wanted it known she is not going to number Eva Tanguay. Ethel Barrymore or Anna Held in her new vaudeville act. Instead, her characterizations are to be of folk she's met right here in Fort lanl. One of them "When Lizzie Found Out She Had Talent" is a com posite study of several Lizzies who called for help on Miss Fleming while she was leading woman this bummer for George L. Baker. Back to nature- note. Milton Seaman, accompanied by Mrs. Seaman, has g-o-n-e a-w-a-y to North Beach for a reg'lar vncation. They won't even read the papers while away. a a a Thelma Strong. Tour letter, for ob vious reasons, cannot be answered in this department, but if you. will send me your address I shall be glad to answer your Inquiry. The gentlemanly press agent of the Orpheum, Frank McGettlgan, sends In this bit of news. By the same - mail comes 18 other versions of the same piece of news, from IS different mem bers of the Portland Press Club. For the actress It concerns is Grace Cameron, the only woman honorary member of the club. She helped put on their first Jinx two seasons ago. This is what they all want printed: "Grace Cameron, one of the biggest Portland Orpheum favorites, will be seen here tn a return engagement in mid-August. Miss Cameron has Just returned from London, where she gar nered new songs and new duds. She will begin her third Orpheum tour at Winnipeg next week. Winona Winter Is Summering in raudeville. " . . Btllle Burke has a younger sister who is going into theatrical life. Her name stage name, or course is vrace Helane. and at present her bent seems vaudeville, and her chief ability that of fancy skating. a v Annie Russell is to occupy the new Princess Theater in New York in No vember, where she will produce old Fnjrlish comedies under the patronage af prominent subscribers. The bob-up-serenely Mrs. Leslie Car ter endeavored to secure a discharge In bankruptcy last week, but some of her creditors wouldn't see It that way. The allegation was made that she had hidden assets. Of Phyllis Terry. England's newest aspirant for histrionic honors, a Lon don correspondent writes thusly: While T was waiting In Beerbohm Tree's drasstng-rooin for his arrival. PhTllls T'rry sauntered In with the manuscript nf "Drake'' In her hands, which she had evidently been asved to read, with the view of her playing the principal fem-.nine character. She threw It careleajjy upon the table with the remark that as Tree was five, minutes late abe wouldn't bother waiting for him. I am very much afraid that Miss Phyllis la suffering- from that unforttunate malady whlch attacks so many young actors and actresses who have suddenly leapt Into pop ularity, namely ewoUen-headedness. She has been rather severely handled by the ex perts over her perform ance in "The Ama aoita." She explains the circumstance by the.ugctlon that having txhausted their stock of complimentary adjectives there u nothing left for them out to lau oaca upon less flattering phrases. The real truth Is that, clever and charming as sho la, she haa not yet the experience to make the best use of Iwr undoubted talents. So far. also, she haa failed to show that she possesses the crowning gift of humor, one or the most delightful attributes of her famous aunt, Ellen Terry. It la ao refreshing to discover In a new aspirant to histrionic honors even the slight est semblance of originality and of emotional power that we are. I fear, apt to carry our feelings of enthusiasm to the verge or ex travagance. A revulsion Is bound to come sooner or later when we begin to measure the novice's talent by the standard set by genuinely great artists. Among promising Juveniles Phyllis Terry holds a particularly high position. Dut it is loona.l to speak or ner. as some nave uunc, aa a heavcn-lnsplred genius. a Robert Hichens Is to visit Portland this Fall. He will return to America from London to be present at the Chi cago presentation of his "Garden of Allah" on Labor day. Then he goes for a trip through Yellowstone Park and later comes to the Coast cities for a visit. a s a The end of "Little Miss Fix-It's" sea son at the Tremont Theater. Boston, has "came." With the exception of a slncrle week, this piece has been pre sented continuously since March 9, 1811. running straight through one Summer and half way through a sec ond. During that period the title role has been acted by Nora Bayes, urace Field, Eva Tanguay and Alice Lloyd. Miss Lloyd will go to London for a brief vacation and return In time to begin a tour at the Colonial Theater in Providence on Labor day. Casimer-Perier. who visited Portland a few months ago and who Is best known abroad as the husband of Ma dame Simone, the actress, has, on his return to Paris, given out an Interview in. which he says "there are some very good American actors notably, the Irish players." s Literally from tip to tip of this broad continent came good-cheer tele grams to Cathrine Countiss on the opening night of her Summer season at the Heilig. Old Nantucket island lies out 30 miles from Main Island In the Atlantic and Is this country's extreme Eastern possession. If the memory of mv Informant doesn't fail both of us. On this island lives Robert Hilllard, recreating after playing "The tool in the strenuous Kiplingesque drama. No message of good wishes that came to Miss Countiss was more highly appre ciated than Mr. Hilllard's. flashed by wireless from Slasconset and tnen ticked over the Western Union wires to Portland. Every member of "Her White Sister" company of last season testified to their personal aiicction oy gome message of goodwill. a A Paris jury will soon be called upon to riecide what It will doubtless find a rather delicate question whether Gaby neslva can reallv dance and sing, says an "exchange. The case, which is looked forward to witn amuseu in terest, is a libel action, arising out of n scathinar article on the popular vaudeville star which appeared in Gil Bias over the- signature ol t,rnest Charles, a well-known critic. The article consists of two columns of savage criticism of Gaby as the "chief svmbol of the reign of Imbecility on the French musio hall stage," which the author states It is his desire to sween awav. What Deslys represents, declares Charles, is n extravagant monstrosity of the snobblsn ano. gigan tic power of advertisement. She Is first of all a pretty girl, who claims to be a dancer and singer, but though the world has quite made up Its mind that she Is pretty, the fact must be stated that she can neither dance nor sing." Gabv Deslvs having imediately an nounced her intention to bring action for damages against the newspaper. M. Charles replies in a short article that he is very glad that she Intends to take this step, as It will bring before the public the necessity for his cam paign against the present vaudeville spectacles. Gaby asks for 110,000 dam ages. a a What betides another wave of G. B. S. popularity is evidenced in the news that Robert Lorraine Is coming over at the head of a star company In- the most brilliant of all Shaw's comedies "Man and Superman." Two new Shaw plays are announced for production and Arnold Daly's storehouse man is shaking the camphor out of the "You Never Can Tell" scenery. a a a John Ernest Warren, a New York writer, sends this from California to the New York Review: "Just a line, as I am pretty busy reading Nat Goodwin's fascinating book, which will be the most fascinat ing since Colley Cibber-s 'Apology for My Life." I arrived last Sunday; stayed with Nat at his Ocean Park palace til! Wednesday, then autoed in Nafs car out here, over 100 miles. In five hours, over royal roads. Thla trifle of Nafs is only 200 acres greater than Cen tral Park 900 acres. We are camping out on San Jacinto Mountain. From here, almost as far as the eyes can reach, Nat owns. He has over 350 cows. 16 horses, 300 pigs, 100 acres of oranges and grapefruit, breaking ground for a two-story bouse with a roof garden. The house will be sur rounded by a JSO-acre orange grove. On the estate are- three different springs llthia, sulphur. Iron. From the veranda the view Is' B0 miles. In cluding the 900 acres Nat owns. His Ocean Park house and garden are within a stone's throw of the Pacific, which surges and thunders at his door eternally." a a a According to announcement received from London J. M. Barrio has finished an "original topsy turvy" version of "The Taming of the Shrew," which he has entitled "Shakespeare for Women." Though no further Information has been supplied this alone has occasioned considerable Interest and curiosity. Skipping hurriedly past the social activities recorded In a Chicago paper, a full-length portrait and thla tid bit of gossip relative to a stage favorite met my eye. So I clipped It: "Mrs. John Fox. wife of tne novelist. who ts known more familiarly as Fritxl Scheff, the prima donna. Is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fox at the Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest- Mr. Fox Is the writer's brother. Miss Scheff has been suffering with a severe cold which has affected her voice. bhe came to Chicago from her Eastern home In the hope of being benefited by the change of climate. 'Incidentally, society the really ex clusive kind that lives at Onwentsia Is exerting Itself to entertain the stage favorite. Miss Scheff has already been the guest of honor at several exclusive functions, ana many more are pianneo for her. She Is living much in the open and is seen daily on the links or motoring." a m Ull 111 AUQ " null!
