NEWS AND GOSSIP OF
PLAYS AND PLAYERS
EDITED BT 1EOXI CABS BABI.
FROM Seattle comes & breezy note
from Valbors Ahlgren. a Portland
girl who is playing the role of
Martha with Hose lie Knott in "The
Awakening of Helena Richie."
"I'm Just as happy as I can be, she
writes, "so many nice things happen it
seems just expressly for me. I have
been made the understudy for Miss
Knott in the role of "Helena," and our
manager, Mr. Shuter. is going to let
me play it at some one of the Canadian
towns. . . . Mayo Methot and I
have become, great pals. Her little
mother, who travels with ber, is the
sweetest and most understanding of
mothers. Mayo has a regular routine
of lessons every morning sometimes I
hear them . . When we piayeo la
coma Governor Hay came back behind
tbe stage to tell Mayo bow be ap
preciated her In the role of David. And
she is so unspoiled despite the fact
that everywhere we play she is show
ered with compliments and attention.
: . What dy'e think we were In Vic
toria when the Duke and hls'n were
there, and they all came to see our
show intensely English of course and
dressed up like horses. I never saw
eo much clothes in my me. . . .
We leave Sunday for Vancouver, B. C
It's an all-day trip. We don't play any
Sundays in Canada ever They
always play God Save the King for the
audience to march out by, and I always
call it America. - .
More news of Izetta Jewel this
brought by Horace Stevens, who re
turned t'other day from a trip to the
National capital:
"My mission to Washington. D. C,"
said Mr. Stevens, "related to some land
matters pending before the Interior De
parement. and in the course of events
I was there about three weeks. Natur
ally I was thrown a great deal in Miss
Jewel's company during my stay, as we
have been friends for a long time, and,
moreover, she was anxious to get all
the information possible about the past
In general and Portland in particular.
In other words, I played a patrolman's
part In this respect.
"It did not take me long after I got
there to find out that Miss Jewel has
become, one of the greatest. If not the
greatest, stage favorite that ever ap
peared in the National capital, her
glory In this regard outclassing the
esteem bestowed upon her by Port
landers while she was playing here,
if such a thing were possible. I saw
her in 'A Gentleman From Mississippi.'
'Little Johnnie Jones.' 'Checkers' and
'Pierre of the Plains,' and in each in
stance was afforded ample opportunity
for gauging the extent of her local
popularity. At every performance she
was encored repeatedly and called be
fore the curtain so many times that
the wonder is it did not turn her head.
But it didn't a bit and she was the
same sensible girl ail tbe way through
that the people of this city know her
to be under such circumstances. Why,
after each performance myriads of
young girls flocked to her dressing
room, where she would hold a regular
levee, and in all my experience I never
saw anything to equal it. The demand
upon her from this source for auto
graphs and photographs reached such
a stage finally that tbe theatrical man
agement under which she appears was
obliged to have engravings made to
meet it, her picture appearing on il
luminated paper with autograph at
tached and the expression 'forget-me-not'
standing out in bold relief. These
were handed out with a free hand by
the smiling but worn-out idol of the
younger set. and I doubt whether there
is a home in Washington now that Is
not decorated in some way with re
membrances of the fair Izetta.
"That she has been greatly over
worked goes without saying, because
ever since her opening, April 15 last,
she has been obliged to rehearse at
10 o'clock every morning except Sun
day and Monday, perform every even
ing excepting Sunday and give a mat
inee eacb day outside of Sunday and
Monday, so you can see how she is
situated. I believe her contract with
the Poll Players, the stock company
with whom she is engaged, closes Oc
tober 7, but it is doubtful whether they
will let her go, although she has been
making a desperate effort in that di
rection, as she certainly needs a good
rest, for obvious reasons. In fact, when
I left Washington she had just re
covered from a slight indisposition
caused by overwork, and she told me
that If it could be arranged it was her
Intention to take her mother and sis
ter. Hazel, with her and motor up
through the White Mountains of New
Hampshire, the Green Mountains of
Vermont and some of the wild districts
of Maine, in part satisfaction of her
inability to come out West this year.
I don't think there is anything on
earth, though, that could compensate
her disappointment at being deprived
of the pleasure of coming West again,
and it may be that she will tear her
self away, anyhow, and hit the high
places for this region, in utter de
fiance of managerial edict, and in full
pursuit of her heart's desire, as her
infatuation for this section of country
has become well known.
"Miss Jewel is also very much taken
up with Washington, D. C, and told
. me there was no city in tbe East that
has appealed to her with equal force.
She likes the people there and they
fairly worship her, so there you are,
and where it is a case of such mutual
attraction, the consequences are easy
to figure out. Notwithstanding all this,
she is anxious to star and be at the
head of her own company, and I don't
blame her much for - this ambition,
either, as I am quite sure she would
meet with great success wherever she
might appear. Her experience in Wash
ington bas given her a prestige
throughout the entire country that can
not be measured with any degree of
accuracy, for the reason that the city
is practically the head center of gov
ernment, many of its inhabitants, es
pecially members of both branches of
Congress, hailing from the four quar
ters of the compass, and they would
take with them to their homes a re
gard for the young actress that could
jjever be effaced by the lapse of time.
It is fortunate for her that such con
ditions exist, as this Influence would
always be exercised In her behalf
wherever she might appear. By this
process she has established herself in
the hearts of the entire country to a
very large extent, and while I was
there she was constantly overwhelmed
with Invitations of a social character
from the families of some of the most
distinguished citizens of the country.
About the only surcease she ever gets
from her toil is a sort of 'between
acts' .proposition, when she Seeks rec
reation in. her beloved machine, and
you can bet she Is some driver. No
where in the country, perhaps, are
the driveways any more attractive
than around Washington, and the
points of Interest there are certainly
fascinating too numerous to mention,
in fact.
"A few evenings before my departure
a crowd of us went out to a beautiful
resort near the city, where we in
dulged in an open-air feast under the
trees. She had to hurry back to her
performance, and no sooner had we .left
on the return trip than we were as
sailed by the heaviest thunder storm
Washington has ever known, and the
lightning played all sorts of pranks
along the route. There was Just enough
real danger in It to make it dramatic
ally romantic, and. while Miss Jewel
braved conditions with Spartan-like
fortitude, I was deeply relieved when
we reached the stage entrance. An
amusing feature of the situation ex
isted in the fact that everybody was
drenched to the skin, and while all the
male members of the party had to sit
through the performance in a manner
patterned after an encounter with an
over-ripe Oregon mist. Miss Jewel took
all the female element back to her
dressing-room and arrayed them in at
tire made famous by the different
characters in which she had appeared
from time to time, and the audience
".as in convulsions all the way through.
as an inspection of our box revealed
me demure young maiden arrayed in
the regalia of Madame X another fas
cinating damsel in the garb of the
White Sister and similar attires corre
spondingly out of kilter. Everybody
was in good humor, though, and appre
ciated the situation- to the fullest extent,-
because it was a case where
soaked conditions leveled all ranks."
For excellent use of English com
mend me to this, clipped from the
Kansas City Journal:
"Miss Julia Marlowe's health has en
tirely recovered." '
Elsie Jants- mother, Mrs. Somebody
Bierbower, is planning a season in
vaudeville. She expects to give a talk
to the public from the beart of a
"stage mother.''
Tomorrow Nance O'Neil opens a
vaudeville engagement in "The Trial
of Joan of Arc" at the Alhambra in
New York.
Laura Hope Crews, a Pacific Coast
actress, is to be starred in a new play
by Thompson Buchanan. ' Henry Millet
Is launching the attraction. Misr
Crews has been his leading woman fo.
several seasons.
Preston Gibson, the rich Washlng-tonian-who
financed "Drifting" in the
days gone by and dropped a wad of
greenbacks in putting it on Broad
way, has written another play which
he Is going to have produced in tier
York. It is called "Lola Montz."
David Belasco has this to say about
how he chose the telephone number in
"The Woman," which opens tonight at
the Heilig.
"I chose the number 1001 Plaza be
cause' that number seemed to me to
present, as no other number in the
New York telephone book could pre
sent, the three great essentials sim
plicity, repetition, euphony. These
three qualities I name in the respective
order of their Importance. First, sim
plicity. In order to impress a number
,
Bv an odd coincidence, says the
Dramatic News, Day, Knight and Sun
day is the unique combination made
possible through the partnership just
formed in Minneapolis, or George Day,
a clever amateur; Ted Knight, a light
comedian, who Is known In Portland
and Jimmy Sunday, a burnt-cork artist
The trio is to enter vaudeville, com
Ing to the Coast.

en route to Seattle from San Francisco.
where she spent the late Summer. Two
weeks of that time she played with
Laurette Taylor at the Alcazar in
stock. Miss Baker goes to Seattle to
join a stock company that Is being or
ganized there.
m m w
Ethel Boody is the latest Portland
girl to listen to the call of the foot
lights and follow Its lure. She was
given an important role with Joseph
Howard s company in The Goddess of
Liberty," which he organized anew In
Portland a fortnight ago. Miss Boody
has positive histrionic ability and
will nse this engagement as a first rung
on the ladder which she will climb to
reach Broadway. Miss Boody has taken
the name Elsie Bee for her stage ca
reer. Tomorrow night the company
plays In Nampa, Idaho, then In Poca
tello and on to Ogden, and next Sun
day opens in Salt Lake City.
upon the ears of an audience It Is ab
solutely essential that it shall be a
simple number. That is. one easy to
memorize and. once memorized, never
to be forgotten. In 1001 you have a
combination of two of the simplest
sounds. Simple not only to the ear,
but to the eve.
"Second, this number presents the
equally requisite quality of repetition.
In order to thoroughly impress an
audience with anything important
there must be repetition. In 1001 we
have a forceful repetition of each of the
concomitant sounds.
"Third, we have euphony and with
out euphony the most forceful number
is obliged to suffer more or less dis
count.
"As to bow we determined the rela
tive value of the number selected, and
the very great many other numbers
that were rejected may be of Interest.
Early in the rehearsals of "The Wom
an' this question of the telephone
number was a matter of much concern
both to the author, Mr. DeMille, and to
myself. After several days of careful
compiling Mr. DeMille brought me a
list of something more than 100 tele
phone calls, each of them having been
selected, please remember, with the
essentials 1 have already named in Mr.
DeMille's mind.
"This list was read over and Mr.
DeMille and I sat well back In the
orchestra of the empty theater. Of the
hundred numbers I will say here that
the great majority were restricted to
such central stations as Plaza Lenox
and other conventionally fashionable
quarters. This we had to do because
the telephone in question was installed
in the house of the Governor of New
York. As eacb number on the list fell
from the telephone girl's lips, we lis
tened with more or less interest until
she enunciated in -her clear, distinct
tones: 'Plaza One Double Oi One.'
Hardly had the words left her mouth
before Mr. Do Mllle and myself fair
ly started to our feet. However we
let her continue to the end of the list
and then had her repeat the numbers
all over again. Once more came the
unforgetable accents: 'Plaza One Doub
le O One.' This time it sounded to
us like the boom of a drum; and with
one "accord we both cried 'That Is the
number; Plaza 1001.' "
"We were very much interested, both
Mr. De Mllle and I, when we learned
later the identity of this magic num
ber in the New York telephone book.
I want to say right here that of all
the numbers In that book, once we had
heard 'Plaza 1001," we would have had
that number though we had to move
heaven, and earth to obtain it, because
that number and no other served the
purpose demanded of it In 'The
Woman.'
It seems now pretty definitely set
tled that Madame Bernhardt's Ameri
can engagements will be played in the
regular theaters, instead of the vaude
ville houses. Confirmation of this con
clusion comes in the news that Nance
O'Neil is to fill In the dates In the
Keith and Orpheum theaters held for
the French actress. Miss O'Neil, as
previously forecast, will be ' seen In
"Joan of Arc," which was to have
been Madame Bernhardt's vaudeville
offering. 4
The version Is by Alfred Hickman,
and the production will be an unual
ly elaborate one. Twenty-four play
ers have been' engaged for the com
pany. After a week of preliminary
performances at the Majestic in Pater
son, "Joan" will be presented at the
Alhambra in New York on October 14.

ods of what may be termed the eighth
wonder of the world. Mile. Stantone
Is a charming and accomplished pianist
and her rendition of the various selec
tions will add much to the entertain
ment. Sensational feats in roller skating are
offered by the Great Harrah and his
clever company, who are making their
first Portland appearance. The Great
Harrah has won many medals and oth
er prizes with bis wonderful fancy
skating, and he will be seen in all the
feats that won fame and fortune for
him. His assistants are experts on the
wheeled shoes, and they will form an
interesting part of the programme.
"Fun in a Dining Car" Is the title of
a hilariously funny farce in which Cope
land and Payton, those whirlwind col
ored entertainers, will appear. Catchy
songs and delightfully funny stories
will be Introduced In the progress of
the act and the risibilities of the audi
ences will be frequently stirred.
Gypsy Wilson, the merriest songstress
in vaudeville, is another attraction who
will be appreciated by lovers of good
music. Her selections have been care
fully chosen and her charming person
ality will add much to the attractive
ness of her act.
Lowell and Esther Drew will appear
In the delightful satire. "In the Drug
Store." which has to do with the ad
ventures of a drug clerk and his
sweetheart. The action is rapid and
the laughs many. The players are ex
tremely clever, and they handle their
roles In a pleasing manner.
Flo and Ollle Walters are entertain
ers whose performance never fails to
score a big hit. All the latest songs
are introduced, and a bit of dainty
dancing enlivens. The girls have
starred in musical comedy, and their
appearance on the programme will be
In the nature of a special added at
traction. The Pantagescope will show
new animated events.
The Monkey Hippodrome and other
bannered vandevllle attractions will
conclude their local engagement with
the performances this afternoon and
evening. .
EMPRESS BILL SEVEN . FOLD
Two Sketches and SurvlYOr of Ti
tanic Among New Acts.
Two sketches, a survivor of the Ti
tanic disaster and four comedy teams
one act more than usual are on the
bill to open at the Empress tomorrow
afternoon. "The Pool Room." a semi
melodrama, holds headline place, and
will be presented by Charles Wildish
and company. One of the largest the
atrical papers in the United States
praised "The Pool Room" for its fin
ished acting and the moral it points.
Six are in the cast, and the playlet has
bright lines coursed with a nappy
vein of curbstone slang.
Edward Dorking, of London, is the
Titanic survivor who will appear on
tbe bill. He describes the last mo
ments on tbe liner on which bundreds
of persons lost their lives. Dorking
was one of the last men to leave the
ship. He dived into the icy sea and
swam about 3a minutes before being
picked np by a lifeboat. He reveals
features of the catastrophe heretofore
not published, and has numerous human-interest
tales of tbe wreck that
make his recital most attractive.
Two young eccentric comedians,
Scott and Wilson, each of whom has a
big stage record in the East, will pre
sent their comedy patter, one portray
ing a "rube" Sheriff and the other a
"sissy." A feature of this act is the
acroDatic dancing of the duo.
"Cyclonic, cycling comedians, whim
sical wheelmen." That's the billing of
Mort Macrae and Welling Levering.
Their act is speedy and one of their
novelties Is an aerocycle which soars
over the beads of the audience while
the bicyclists go through their enter
taining routine.
Marie Hylands and Constance Far
mer, pretty girla clad in beautiful
gowns, are next. Both are cultured
singers, and their repertoire includes
many popular songs.
"Scenes Behind the Scenes"" will be
the offering of John Delmore and com
pany. It is a bit of stage realism
wherein the actors appear first as they
are and then change to blackface in
full view of the audience. Billy Link,
monologist, with a luminous record,
and Blossom Robinson, a beautiful
woman, complete the new bill in an
act that has vivacious patter, lively
songs and a dance or two.
Hugh Lloyd, bounding-rope wonder,
will appear for the last time at the
Empress tonight.

perate attempts to do society are most
ludicrous indeed.
There are also several Intense dra
matic situations, and a touching: love
story, dealing; with the experiences of
one of their number, Joe Lacy, who
has married a pretty, society bud, who
has been influenced into the match by
her scheming mother, who immediately
begins to estrange the couple and
wound the sensitive Joe for his un
couthness and lack of knowledge ot
the ways of Eastern society. How he
finally wins out by the help of his
young heir, and the natural good dis
position of his wife, is the thread of
the story. "The Heir to the Hoorah"
was first played by Guy Bates Post.
