iriF gITXDAT ORFnOMAX. PORTLAXD. APRIL. 6, 1913. ' 3 pMatinee Daily CHAT AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS HEILD G THEATER Eleveath and Morrison Sts.

Tomorrow night, at Keith's Union Square Thea ter she makes her debut In a playlet especially written forJier.and called "The Birthday Present." Her com pany includes R-oe Noel. James Hyde and John W. Lott. Miss Countiss' sketch is a b end of comedy and senti ment, and deals not with crooks, nor other overworked types of the under world. For this relief her patrons are likely to gtvo thanks. Genial Jess Dandy, who visited us In the "Prince of Pllsen." the tag-end of last week, has been playing the role of Hans Wiener for 10 years and numbers his performances of the Pix ley & Luders opera around the 304)0 mark. This many times has he stood - In that fountain, up I utter inn love In turn to Frances Cameron. Trlxle Frl franza. Louise Willis. Dorothy Morton. Polly Guinian and Ida Stanhope. He's anchored there for life. Xyv. Ti'.art. who has one of the prom Inent r. es in "The Concert." the Bel asco comedy production that opens at the Hetllg- tomorrow night. Is no new comer to the Pacific Coast, for he was a member of William Faveraham's company for several years before he Bot his present part In "The Concert.' Chart is an Englishman and comes of a celebrated Unglish theatrical family a family that has owned the Theater Koral at Brighton. England, for over half a century. Chart still retains an interest In that playhouse, one of the most famous in England. Chart made an early appearance on the stage, for he was Just nine months old when he was carried on In a play called "The Post Boy." He la a graduate of Cam bridge University. England, and ha the right to use B. A. after his name. Probably he does not for fear some (oiks might think It meant "bad actor." AH the song rows seem to start In Chicago. In view of the modern meth od of making so-called popular songs by stealing a little here and a little there to form a new one. this account . Is a bit humorous. It seems that Will Kosslter. a music publisher, has come a cropper In his too early cry of "stop thief." Rossiter was out last week with a complaint' Irving Berlin had annexed a couple of bars from one of his numbers in Berlin's now swiftly moving "Snooky Ookums." The law allows four bars for a coincidental similarity. Berlin proved the similarity dkl not exceed one bar. but not satisfied with this he dug bark and fished out one ot Ted Snyder's old songs used by May Irwin "Moses Andrew Jackson. Good bye" and showed where the Rossiter number held no less than eight bars identical with that song. This also included the bar Berlin was accused of purloining. At this stage F. A. Mill.s took a hand In the proceedings. Mills published the old Snyder song and will now look to Rossiter to show why his song should, not bo suppressed. All of a sudden Portland finds It has two talented little girls both toe dancers and graceful exponents of ar tistic temsichore. One Is Lns ixuise Gratke. who made her public debut at the late "Follies." and wno is already encaged for an early presentation in dances with a musical comedy produc tion at the Baker. The other little maid is Anita Lachround, who Is not like Doris, a Portland product, but halls from New York. She has Just signed for a week's engagement witt. the Spirit Lake Chaatuuo.ua in Idaho, to give her "Cycle of National Dances," in an educational Vroramme, illus trating the temperament of the peo ples of other nationalities by means of the dance. With Grace George In her revival of "nivorcons" is Rae Selwyn. sister of Edgar. Arch and Mike Selwyn. Also she Is a sister-in-law to Mrs. Edgar Selwyn (Margaret Mayo), who adapted "Divorcons." Nothing liko having the family stick together. . It's a bit late but this is the correct and exact accounting of the bill board story about Sarah Bernhardt, when she was In Los Angeles recently: "During the Bernhardt engagement at the Orpheum Theater the French artiste waa missing from the Orpheum bill one day (Friday) all because of an auto accident in which the divine Sarah bruised her ankles. This fact should not set the world on fire, but the after effects of the accident threw Los An geles into nervous prostration. Thurs day night. It seems, the French actress decided to take a spin along the beach, and on the return trip discovered a dash of speed was necessary in order to reach the Orpheum in time for her curtain. She implored the chaffeur to burn up some excels gasoline, which he did, eventually coming in contact with a motor truck. This explains the bruised ankles, but it needed the Lo& Angeles Times to explain the remain der. "The following day the Times car ried a two-column story of the ride. In which it advised its readers that Madam Sarah returned home In the lap of a strange man. headed with the line, "And She Enjoyed It." The ar ticle further stated that Sarah squatted I on the seat of a soap manufacturer in whose car she was taken to the thea ter, and finding the room scarce. In sisted that her chaffeur sit on her lap. 'Something anent the sound of a bursting barrel of dynamite waft heard In Lns Angeles when Bernhardt read the story. Soon afterward a small army of billposters were on their merry way with a vehement denial of the article. The Orpheum people demanded the return of every bill not posted, which was attended to while the paper al ready posted was Immediately covered over. The bills red. In letters a foot high: "Open letter to the public An article appeared Thursday morning. March 13. In a Los Angeles newspaper, The Times, the article Is entitled 'And She Enjoyed It." and Is unsigned. But I hereby declare that It has been writ ten by a liar and a coward. Sarah Bernhardt." Products of the Pacific Coast again find place on the Orpheum's bill which closes tonight. Charles Kellogg, the na ture singer, was born, and stiil lives, in the California Sierras only 200 miles south of the Oregon line. Another Cali fornia man is Ervtlle Alderson, who plays the father, Luke Prentice, in "More Sinned Against Than Usual." Mr. Alderson is the son of W. A. Alderson, of Los Angeles, and made his stage debut with the Baker Stock Company. He paid a former visit to Portland with White Whlttelsey. Miss Julia Curtis is a Salt Lake girl and was a playmate and next-door-neighbor of Mrs. Lynn K. Smith (Miss Eleanor Cannon). Miss Curtis was a prominent church singer in Salt Lake before she made her first stage appearance at the San Francisco Orpheum. She has played in Portland with 'The Royal Chef." "The Burgo master" and "The Red Feather." After all. Pauline Chase is not going to be married to the young peer who has been paying her so much attention. Lords and lordlets seem to have a pen chant for the fair "Polly" of the fa mous pink pajamas, and that she does not marry one is her own fault. "I have had as many as a dozen pro posals by one post," she says, modestly, "but I have turned them all down. There is small chance of my becoming Mrs. Anybody, for really I believe I would get tired of any husband. For what I have seen of them, husbands get very monotonous at times, besides being awfully dull. No, a single lifo for me." Miss Chase says that Barrie Is writing a new piece for her. W. Livingston Lamed wrote this one. Jack and Jill Went out to fill A date upon a circuit; Jack "fell down" And broke his contract. And Jill, the papers said, thing awful. TOMORROW CIV NIGHTS O 1 j.

"LITTLE MISS BROWX" BILLED American Play Is Full of Comedy From Start to Finish. It semes to be a delusion among American playwrights that a farce can not be a success unless It Is derived from a German or French source. Per haps nine out of ten plays of that na ture have been bodily lifted or adapted from the foreign stage. It remains for Philip H. Bartholomae to prove the fallacy of that theory. In his first ef fort he took a typically American theme, bandied It In a typically Ameri can way. and produced a farce that was the sensation of last season. Follow ing the same plan, he wrote "Little Miss Brown," which comes to the Helllg Theater. Eleventh and Morri son streets. April 13. 14. l.. 16. "Little Miss Brown" kept New York In roars of laughter for four months at the Forty-elghth-Street Theater. All the scenes In the play are laid In a hotel, glvinsr opportunity for -a series of character drawlnss unusual in light comedy. The day clerk, who Is also the house detective, .the night lerk. the porter, the elevator and bell boy. and the slangy telephone girl are all said to be particularly well con ceived. The story concerns little Miss Brown, who forgot ,lhe day of the week and reached the' city a stranger a day sooner than she was expected. Some body stole her pocketbook at the sta tion, and since It was night and she had no money, no baggage and no es cort, the hotels wouldn't let her in. On a tip from the telephone girl she lets herself be mistaken for a mar ried woman whose husband has had reserved apartments at the Wendel. During the night the husband arrives at the hotel. The two meet in the morning much to their mutual aaton Ishmcnt. The real wife appears and scents a scandal. The day clerk Is sure he will lose his girl if the story gets out. Divorce and all aorts of unpleasant things are in prospect. On top ot It all. the husband's uncle and aunt are to meet him and turn over a large legacy to him when they are convinced he is happily married. Two hours nn1 a half of solid lnughter are necessary to unravel the tangle and make everyone happy. A pretty romance underlies all the story. Madge Kennedy as little Miss Brown, and William Morris as the husband are surrounded by an exceptionally clever company of farceurs.
