Salt Lake City, where- Willard Mack
and Marjorie Rambeau are playing
lead.
Iztta JewelTa name appears regu
larly on the social calendar of Wash
Inston publications. Under a picture of
hr tins is the latest:
'"Miss Iz-tta Jewell was the guest
of honor at a dinner given by Repre
tentative Tilson, of Connecticut, last
SundayNat the Chevy Chase Club.- On
Wednesday Miss Jewell was the guest
of honor of Senator Fletcher, at i
luncheon grven In the Capitol by th

Carlyle Moore, who was stage di
rector for George I... Baker almost 1
dozen years ago. has written a farce
comedy. "Stop Thief," which Is to be
produced by Cohan A Harris. Tomor
row the production will be tri4 out at
Atlantic City. Jn the rast is Frank Ba

Three attractions sent out by A. H.

consecutively on this Coast next sea

cinating Widow." Dustln Fa mum In
"The Littlest Rebel," and "Gypsy Love."
Julian Eltinge has appeared in Portland
but once, when he came as the real at
traction of the Harry Lauder show.
Mary Kdgett, in support of Cathrine
Countlss in A Woman a Way, Is
George I. Baker's talented daughter.
Mighty lovely she looked in her role
last week, wearing a palest blue chif
fon gown that closely fitted her slim
young body. Her hair, worn in a soft
knot low on her neck, brought a cameo
distinctness to her features, which are
enhanced further by a pair of expres
sive, big. dark eyes. Miss Baker or
rather Miss Edgett Is naturally a. lit
tle handicapped In her aspirations for
real histrionic glories by having a rath
r who is bitterly opposed to the thea
ter and thinks the Council should move
to have them aJl abolished except the
Baker. "Anyway," says Miss Baker

Isn't it about time for another an
nouncement that some one has drama
tised the "Potash and Perlmutter" stor
ies? Josle Heather, the diminutive Eng
lish comedienne who headlined the
Orpheum bill one week last Winter
will make her first Xew York appear
ance tomorrow at the New Brighton
Theater. For years Josle has been a
favorite in British vaudeville, and has
rome t America to contest honors with
Alice Lloyd, Verta Tilley, Lucy Weston
and Lily Lena.
Mrs Gene Hughes, formerly a resi
dent of Forest Grove, Or., will make
her third appearance at the Orpheum
the week after next. This time she is
In vaudeville without her husband, who
has remained in Xew York to look
nfter hts theatrical booking business.
Mrs. Hughes and her four players will
appear in "Youth," a cnmedy playlet
written by Edgar Allen Woolf. In her
previous vaudeville visits to Portland
Mrs. Hughes presented "Suppressing
the Press." Mrs. Hughes and her com
pany occupy second place on the poster, i

Victor Morley is to play the Clifton
Crawford part In the Western "Quaker
Oirl" company, opening on September
7. Bessie Clifford, who Is in vaude
ville with Mr. Morley, will remain in

Here is a story about Baron Henry
ri Rothschild, the wealthy dramatist. ,
The baron, some time ago. produced
a play entitled "La Rampe," Jn Paris.
He was 'so delighted with- the skill
with which the chief parts were per
formed that he presented the leading
woman with some splendid jewels, and
?av the actor who played the hero a
country house. The millionaire, fascin
ated with the footlights, determined
to produce another play, and it was
decided that It should be pi'en at the
Vaudeville. Some little time after the
actors had received their parts to study
they returned home, and said that noth
ing would induce them to play in the
piece.
Their amazing decision led to inquir
ies, which led to the discovery, so it is
stated, that the entire company had
written to Baron Henry de Rothschild
demanding presents of country houses
and Jewels. Even a millionaire must
draw the line somewhere, and the dis
covery that the expense of putting on
(be piece, in the circumstances, would
be nothing short of colossal, led the
author to withdraw it
Olive May, alster to the lovely Edna,

Dunham $lpO for a song called "Honey

by the Shapiro Company a few years
back. A demand was made of Dunham
for the return of the money. He re
fused and was arrested.
Judge Newcomer fined Dunham $50
and costs and sentenced him to three
days In Jail. Dunham was also ordered
to return the $100.

Trixle Frlganaa discourses in a met
ropolitan paper on the subject of play
ers who devote so much time to the
obvious that they have little or no
time for the essentials. "Girls rehears

the least In the picture; and I have
seen others who spent their entire
time in asking questions about mat
ters that. could be of no possible Inter
est to them. In fact, I often wanted
to answer them as did a workingman
who was engaged in repairing a part
of a certain prison. Just above him
rs a convict, his face glued to the
iron grating, watching him. As the
noon hour approached the workingman
looked at his watch frequently. roe
convict finally broke In:
"What time is It, cull? he asked.
'The workingman paid no attention.
Again and again the question was
asked, and finally the workingman
grew annoyed.
' 'What difference does It make to
you T he fmally asked, and concluded.
'you ain't going nownere!

Miss Countlss' pictures are much in
demand by the Eastern magazines and
periodicals. Smith's magazine, the
New York Telegraph, the Review,
Leslie's Weekly and the art supple
ment of the Times have used them re
cently. One of her new art portraits
is the cover Illustration for the June
number of Simmon's magazine. The
New York Dramatic Newa last week
had another for the title page, with
this editorial comment:
'Cathrine Countiss. whose name is
about as well known throughout the
country as that of any other woman
on our stage, has come into promi
nence by unceasing effort, a gracious,
womanly personality and the ability to
act She ts expert In polite comedy.
but her best results have been gained
In parts with a broad sweep of emo
tion. Much Is expected of her In the
future. Next Fall she will be seen in
a new play."

"And then came Cunningham.'
Arthur Cunningham, of San Fran

eto on. nlaved i'lsn-xusn.
Arthur had hardly gotten on the
stage, when the audience got onto
him. and the aDDlause was deafening.
He bowed and smiled and bowed and
smiled
And the applause grew greater and
greater, and at last he gave up, or
rather seeing no way out. steppea
foward and gave us the first speech
of the evening.
He thanked us. told us how glad he
was to be back, how our city has
rown. and then and then (Arthur,
how could you have done It?) he called
us "Dear Frisco.
The house groaned.
Arthur caught the "lapsislinguae'
and smiled and called us by our right
name.
Then they let him sing.
And he sang.
Cunningham has improved and his
voice, always true, had a mellowness
last night that comes only after years
of careful cultivation.

Marie Baker leaves- for San Fran
cisco on Tuesday, accompanying her
mother, Mrs. E. Baker, home. - Mrs.
Baker has been a guest of her daughter
during the greater part of her engage
ment as character woman with the
Baker Stock. Last week the Cathrine
Countiss company added the clever
Marie to its cast in "A Woman's Way."
Now she's going home for a vacation of
three weeks, after which she goes to
New York City.
By a queer trick of role-casting Roy
Clemence. who played so naturally the
part of a reporter in "A Woman's
Way." just ended an engagement at
tire Alcazar, In which his last role was
that of the would-Ike-to-be- a reporter
In "The Fourth Estate." On that occa
sion the reviewers said he probably
never had seen the Interior of a news
paper office, he played the role so ex
cellently and now when he plays an
honest-to-goodness reporter, we all
think he is an ex-one. As a matter of
fact he is not, never was, and probablw
never will be a newspaper man, al
though he has a host of friends In the
fraternity.

ILL you do up this package for
me?- I want to send it far
away." -
Thus spoke Mrs. Alfred Straub to
Leon Hirsch, of one of Portland's big
department stores, a few weeks ago.
Mr. Hirsch obligingly called a clerk and
Instructed him to prepare the package
for Its transmission to Paris, France.
"Look here, young man, you must be
mighty careful about that." advised
Mrs. Straub. "That package contains
the ashes of my dead husband."
The clerk, shaking like a leaf, a'.most
let the precious property fall to the
floor, but soon composed himself and
completed the Job of wrapping and
addressing the package. It was at once
dispatched to a sister of the deceased
husband at Paris, and Mrs. Straub was
consoling herself that she was ful
filling the request of her husband to
have his remains burled In Paris, hts
former home. She returned to her
home at Estacada. hoping that the sa
cred ashes would be safely transported
to Parts and there deposited In the fam
ily mausoleum. ,
Now comes news from Paris that the
ashes of Alfred Straub. a naturalized
American citizen, who died In Portland
last October, and whose body Was cre
mated, have been held up at Cherbourg
by the Customs Department. They had
been sent by parcels post to Mme.
Schaedell, sister of Mr. Straub, residing
In Paris.
According to the Paris dispatch, en
try was stopped by the French Custom!!
Service because the law prohibits ad
mission Into French territory of a hu
man body unless duly authorized.
The matter was referred to the Pre
fect of Police to ascertain whether tho
ashes were to be deposited in a French
cemetery, as the law forbids that they j
