NEW YORK. May 17. (Special.)
A woman lawyer is the principal
character In "Her First Divorce."
at the Comedy Theater.
The play, which la by C. W. Bell, con
cern! Mra. Wllmott. a woman lawyer,
whose husband Is a great corporation
attorney. Her connection with the bar
la mostly of a passive nature, but wheo
her husband refuses to secure a divorce
"lor a friend of the wife, the modern
Portia decides to prosecute the suit her
self. Her action leads to a quarrel
"with her husband, and she leaves his
home for that of the would-be divorcee
Mrs. Wllmott. when conducting her
client's case In court, provides plenty
of opportunities for laughter, particu
larly when she tries to cross-examine
a witness with a bad memory, and later
when she tries to reverse the woman's
testimony. There is considerable bright
dialogue and the play, as a whole. Is
a very acceptable comedy.
Laura Hope Crews, who Is a very
clever actress, appeared almost too ju
venile as Mrs. Wllmott. but there Is
much variety to her performance, and
In occasional passages she is irresisti
bly funny.
Julian L'Estrange as Harry Wilmott
gave a capital performance of the good
natured lawyer, while Ruth Holt Boul
cicault as Clara Rowe wore some hand
some frocks and portrayed the emo
tions of the discontented matron with
proper effect.
Tyler's Slilfmrit Startling;.
One of the most surprising items of
theatrical news that has been heard
In New York for some time was the
statement by George C. Tyler that he
has given up his lease of the Century
Theater and that Liebler & Co.
would make no new productions during
the coming year, although they will
continue to run "The Garden of Allah,"
"Joseph and His Brethren." "Disraelll,"
and May Irwin In "Widow by Proxy."
Mr. Tyler, who made this announce
ment shortly before sailing for Europe,
7 --v XV SSR
'f i ii I
w t i.w r X
said that he had always aimed to pro
duce plays with a purpose, but that the
present generation of theater-goers
seemed to prefer laughs and lingerie
where it doesn't demand crime.
Mr. Tyler further said:
"I have little capability and no de
sire for making the productions of the
kind that appear to appeal to the New
Yorker In his present state of culti
vation. And so I am going to give over
production In a year in which I shall
rest, and therefore will not renew my
lease on the Century Theater."
Mrs. August Belmont. who, as
Eleanor Robson. charmed the theatrical
world, but left it to become the wife of
one of New York's wealthiest men, has
not lost interest In the drama, and Is
president of the Educational Dramatic
League, which was organized for the
purpose of instructing children in the
art of acting.
At the annual dinner of the Woman's
Municipal League, Mrs. Belmont spoke
of the work that the league was doing,
and described the temptations that be-
(Si
set children of the very poor, who were
In danger of being influenced by bad
plays and improper moving pictures.
This the league seeks to combat by
enlisting the children's Interest in dra
matic work. , .
Recruits Not First Aim.
"Let the boys play the parts of the
biggest and noblest men and in time
they will learn to Imitate them. Teach
ers say that acting gives the children
an all-around development. A boy tak
ing the part of a king hardly wants to
be told to stand erect. Children are
taught in dramatics the science of emo
tion. They see that the same emotion
that makes the villain turned In an
other direction makes the hero. There
are few boys who do not wish to be
heroes."
Mrs. Belmont said that her organiza
tion was not formed for the purpose of
obtaining recruits for the stage, but
that if they ran across a few actors
no one would object
The newest theatrical enterprise In
this city of many play houses is the
-Bt
French Theater, and it is expected that
work will soon be begun on a new
theater which will be near Broadway,
In the Times Square section, and will
open Its doors to the public about No
vember 1. The theater is a small one
and will seat about 300. It will be
controlled by Le Theatre Francais
Company, Incorporated. The managing
directors are A. Baldwin Sloane, the
composer, and Georges Raoul Vlober.
A number of prominent society people
are patrons and Mme. Sarah Bernhardt
Is also Included in the list.
Beverly Sitgreaves. the well-known
American actress, will be one of the
members of the company which has
been organised for the benefit of the
French-speaking persons In this city
who desire to hear French, classical
and modern, drama performed by
French actors and actresses. With the
exception of Miss Sitgreaves. the cast
will be composed of pupils of the Paris
Conservatoire, brought to New York
for this purpose. The'theater will have
a season of 24 weeks, and at the end
of this period the company will be sent
on a tour of the principal cities.
In addition to the typical French
plays it is planned to produce Ameri
can dramas of the present day in
French in order to adapt and perform
them here prior to production In
France.
Ladles' Gambol Success.
The Lambs packed the Metropolitan
Opera-House at their Annual Ladies'
Gambol, and entertained their audience'
with a versatile programme ranging
from poesy to music.
The principal piece on the pro
gramme employed a large number of
Lambs, who sang, "Hush, Hush," over
a baby's cradle after DeWolf Hopper
failed to soothe the infant aided by
a lullaby with an anvil chorus. Mr.
Hopper appeared as a village black
smith and others in the sketch were:
Walter Lawrence. Larence D'Orsay,
Frank Lalor and Scott Welsh.
A Chinese play, "The Green Beetle,"
was well acted by Edwin Stevens, Ef
fingham Pinto, John Sainpolis and
Paul Everton.
Other acts shown were: "Even In the
Wilderness," by Clay M. Greene; "The
Broadway Belles," by Burnslde and
Hubbell; "The Naked Man." by Richard
Harding Davis, and two scenes from
"Virglnius."
An Interesting spectacle. "The Irish
Historic Pageant," was presented re
cently In the Sixty-ninth Regiment
Armory. The spectacle shows the
period of Irish history from the second
to the sixth century, when the pagan
Irish were converted to Christianity.
The first episode showed the "Pro
claiming of Finn," in which the Fen
ians appear as the. protectors of Ire
land, while the second shows the ar
rival of St. Columcile.
The life of the various periods are
said to be historically ' correct, and
show fairies, dancing girls, embroidery
women, weavers, warriors and peas
ants. The receipts are estimated at 120,000,
which will be given to the fund of the
Gaelic League for Irish research and
language work.
Vaudeville Gets Elsie Jnnis.
Elsie Janis. who has been starring
with Montgomery & Stone in the "Lady
of the Slipper," ends her engagement
this week and will shortly go into
vaudeville.
Miss Janis, as is not generally
known, is a song writer of more than
ordinary ability, and one of her pro
ductions. "I've Always Been a Disap
pointment," was sung by the Mac
laine of Lochbule. the Scotch chiefta-in
who rr.ade his first appearance on any
rtage at Hammerstein's Victoria Thea
ter this week. The song created much
enthusiasm and augurs well for Miss
Janis' future as a composer.
Marcus Loew. who tor some tirae
past has assumed a commanding posi
tion in the vaudeville world with his
chain of low-priced theaters, is worry
ing the "big time" people more than
ever. It is rumored that he has en
tered a combination with Weber and
Fields and that high-class vaudeville
companies will be sent on tour, each
with a well-known star as a headliner.
v, n.m.Amortt wnnld undoubted
ly mean war with the big vaudeville
Interests, hut Loew is in position to
make a very hard fight and would be
a hard man to beat.

LOAN FUND IS BOON
TO DESERVING GIRLS
Spirit of Citizenship Makes It Necessary to Create in Department of Edu
cation Political Science Committee With Helen V. Boswell in Charge.
President Oregon Federation Women's Clubs.
iS it worth while? Is the discourag
ing question that comes to more
than one committee, or club worker,
but it is a question never presented to
the trustees of the scholarship loan
fund of the Oregon Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Each new loan means to the commit
tee the coming in touch with another
life full of interest and inspiration, and
the committee would feel itself fully
repaid if for nothing else than through
the letters received from the benefic
iaries. The following is from a young won
an who received a small loan, that she
might go to another state for some
special work. After writing of a rath
er discouraging first semester, she
says:
Of course. I expected better results, but
1 know now that it was that I had not suf
ficiently adapted myself to new methods
and conditions. At the beginninc of the
second semester, I went to live with three
other college girls, one of whom is rather
older and owns a very lovely little home.
We divided the expenses and the work, .mak
ing it al! out on a definite basis, and a
firm, reliable schedule. Being, no doubt.
Interested In such problems. I wish to as
sure you that the plan worked out in a
really satisfactory manner.
Expense Lhu.it fiS a Month.
In fact, the average expenses of running
the house have never exceeded M5 a motith
and we each gave approximately 10 hours
a week In time.
You may be sure I am very grateful for
such a fine solution for my living problem:
it has meant consenlal living companions,
a homo and independence.
Through some friends here, I became
deeply interested in social service work, and
after thoroughly discussing the opportunities
in that line, I registered for IS hours' col
lege work: this, with eight hours' practice
teaching added. Three of the IS hours are
philosophy and landscape architecture, and
13 are educational courses. .
As for my practice teaching, I am hap
piest about it. I have charge -of the school
gardens and nature study work in one of the
public schools. There are '."0 children of
foreign parentage in this school and each
child has an individual garden. The school
is down near the bay, in the manufacturing
district, so you see, It is a wonderful op
portunity of testing this rather new move
ment school gardens. I am glad to say
the results were encouraging, gratifying in
the extreme.
Plan Is Satisfactory.
It Is recognized now to he one of the most
efficient means of dealing with the prob
lem of the foreign child's so-called lack of
Interest in school.
As for my part in the work, 'the instruct
ors have recommended me for a supervisory
position, end the principal of the school has
offered me a position there. In my other
courses I am reasonably sure of constantly
higher grades, having had more time for
study. .
I cannot tell you Just how much this
year in college has meant to me. It has
witlhout question been the most profitable
and most pleasant time I have known. I
have def'r.itely "placed'- myself. I know
that my work henceforth will be in the line
of social service. I have made some fine
friends among people who are achieving
things, and Just the very bigness of this
Institution has given me a new view point
and breadth of judgment and outlook that
a:iy lesser could not have done.
i have not attended any of the social
functions of the college. 1 regret It very
much, but It was a matter of choosing In
time disposal.
i chaii teach next year in order to return
my loan, but I shall return the following
year and finish my college worn.
Chairman Is Complimented.
The young woman concludes the let
ter with a kind and complimentary
tribute to Mrs. Frederick Eggert, chair
man of the scholarship loan fund, to
whom the letter was written.
Aside from this letter being most
gratifying to the club women wno
made it Dossible to assist sucn aeserv
lng young students, the letter contains
so much of real phllosopny ana a pruc
tlcal good sense that every one can be
benefited by reading it.
The board of trustees, while having
something like 30 young women on its
list of beneficiaries, has been so for
tunate in having its loans promptly re
turned that it has yet on hand a goodly
sum which it will loan to other young
women who need assistance for educa
tlonal purposes.
This money is loaned without inter
est, to be paid back in installments
when the young woman becomes
wage-earner. The requirements for
procuring a loan are: Satisfactory
proof that the applicant intends to
qualify herself for the position in life
that a better education will give ner,
and that she be recommended for a loan
by some club or persons of standing In
the state.
Purpose to Advance In Life.
The loans are not confined to the
students of any college or school, or to
any branch of education, though It is
not loaned for the acquirement of so
called accomplishments. Its purpose
is solely to fit young women who must
be self-supporting for better and higher
positions in life. For this the money
is loaned freely to the limit of the
treasury, and when it is exhausted the
club women of the state will see to It
that more is forthcoming.
So strongly did the spirit of citizen
ship dominate the last convention of
the general federation thai it was
found necessary to create in tne aepan
ment of education a political science
committee, and most appropriately,
Miss Helen V. Boswell, so well known
to Oregon women, was put in charge
of it. There Is no woman in me coun
try today better informed on the
science of politics, or upon political
affairs than Miss Boswell, for she has
Imbibed it at first hand, as for years
she has been a welcome guest ana
counsellor in the highest official
circles of the capital, and on more than
one occasion has been sent on delicate
diplomatic service from the White
House Itself. In her outline of plans
for the political science committee work
she says:
Plan Is Outlined.
"Since the purpose of the establish
ment of this committee was prepara
tion for citizenship, the consideration
of certain subjects that come within
the realm of political science will be
confined to development and conditions
in the United States. Clubs desiring
to make a comparative study and to
give some attention to the history and
formation of the constitutions of other
countries, can have such a course ar
raneed on application to the chairman.
Miss Boswell has arranged her study
under three heads: Our Government,
"Judicial Branch," and "State Govern
ment." These she has subdivided, giv
ing books and authorities to be used
for each.
In conclusion she says: "Clubs wish
ing to go more exhaustively into the
study of our monetary system, taxation.
tariff, postal service, many Drancnes
that coma under political science, can
write to the chairman for detailed sug
gestions." Miss Boswell's address is 621 West
One Hundred and Eleventh street, New
York.
Club Haa Successful Year.
The Woman's Club of Ontario, Mal
heur County, which has been hitherto
known as the "Work and Win" Club,
has had a busy, profitable and suc
cessful year. Its programme has been
along civic lines, its meetings have
been well attendea ana its memoer-
ship increased. The chief interest of
the club, since its inception, has been
the forming and maintaining of a pub
lic library for Ontario.
At first the library consisted of few
books, for which a small fee was asked,
housed In a small frame building, some
of the club members giving their serv
ices as librarians. Since those days
the club has been able to add to the
library until now there are 1700 vol
umes, free to all and cared for by a
paid librarian.
A year ago the city undertook the
support of the library and levied a tax
to provide a library fund. The Mayor
appointed a board of directors, who
have charge of the maintenance of tha
library and this Summer is expected
to see the completion of a Carnegie
library. The lots on which the build
ing is to stand are already paid for and
the plans nearly completed.
Society Helps Out Library.
The board of directors has inaugu
rated an annual book social as a pleas
ant means of adding to the library and
the first one, held during the Winter,
was well attended and enjoyed.
The Woman's Club -has provided for
the maintenance of the library by
means of Tag day in the Fall and by
an annual ball, which is one of the so
cial events of the Winter.
A recent effort to raise money re
sulted in a vaudeville entertainment
given at the Dreamland Theater May
5. The entertainment was varied and
delightful, consisting of music from On
tario's best musical talent, folk dances
by little children, topical songs by a
chorus of pretty girls and a farce in
two acts given by the members of tho
club, assisted by local talent.
On New Year's day, 1913, the women
of the club edited a local paper the
Ontario Argus issuing a 20-page pa-
per containing Interesting articles and
views of Ontario and Malheur County.
A substantial sum was realized, with
which the club was able to give further
help to the library and besides gave
generously to the Cemetery Improve
ment Association and concluded the
furnishing of a room at the Holy
Rosary Hospital.
Flood Sufferers Helped.
The club contributed $60 to the re
lief of the flood sufferers in Indiana
and through their efforts a sum total
ing S108 was collected and a carload
of provisions forwarded, as well aa
boxes of clothing and crates of egga
sent by express.
The programme chosen by the club
for next year's work devoted a consid
erable time to the Tunama Canal and
carries on questions pertulning to civio
improvement and child welfare. The
Ontario Woman's Club looks forward
to a busy and Interesting Winter un
der the leadership of its recently re
elected president, Mrs. H. H. Whitney.
Club women may have been In doubt
about the commission form of govern
ment and the new charter; they may
be floating about in the uncertain maze
of candidates with neither compass nor
rudder to steei them, but no uncer
tainty was in their voice or vote when
they Were asked to indorse the fire
men's pension act. Every club In the
city was appealed to. and not one but
indorsed it and felt it was a measure
coming so near home and so directly
for the protection of the women and
chllren that many of them have es
poused it as their particular measure)
and are working Industriously for it.
Portland Women Kavor PI no.
One member ot the Portland Woman't
Club spoke enthusiastically for it at
the last meeting, and another said: "We
pension our soldiers when they go to
war; why not pension our firemen when
they do battle to save our homes?"
No measure that has been presented
to the new voters has had such a strong
appeal or been so unanimously indorsed
as, the firemen's pension.
Wednesday the Woman's Club of Os
wego held Its annual meeting at the
homo of Mrs. G. H. Pettinger; with
the president. Mrs. George Prosser, pre
siding. This little neighborhood club
of a half dozen women a few years
ago has grown to a sturdy, self-reliant
body of 35 women, who are not only
exerting a strong influence and mold
in,. onntimAnl n n H nrtinlon In the town
and surrounding country, but are them
selves studying ana aeiving mm tin
greatest questions of the day. The club
meets twice a month and took up the
study of biology last Winter and will
continue the course through another
year. The club meets twice a month,
one meeting being givr i to class study
and the other to a lecture by Mrs. Rob
ert French, of Portland. Mrs. French
makes her lectures Intensely practical,
applying her discussion of biology and
eugenics to the everyday problems of
life.
Library Aim of Club.
The club is contemp'ating a library
for the town in the near future, but
has decided to wait for definite action
till a permanent clubroom could be se
cured. It will this year again have un
der its supervision the school garden
exhibit, and expects to make it even
more interesting than last year, though
it was then considered one of tho best
in the county.
At the meeting Wednesday the fol
lowing officers were elected: President,
Mrs. E. Russell; vice-president, Mrs.
Agnes Cox; secretary, Mrs. John Davis;
treasurer, Mrs. Clay. At the close of
the meeting the hostess served light re
freshments, assisted by a bevy of tiny
maids who dropped in on their way
home from school.
Hood River Woman's Club, now that
its regular year's work has closed, la
going to work in earnest to prepare for
the state convention, which will be held
there October 6-8. The club has just
raised $1960 and will within a few
days have the required J2000 to buy
