THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 15, 1913.
EDITED BY JOSEPH M. QUEXTIX.
A CHORAL treat out of the ordinary
will be given in about two weeks'
time by the Apollo Club, William H.
Boyer, director, in the nature of a
Summer vocal festival at the Oaks.
Many requests have been received late
ly by the management of the Apollo
Club that at this Summer concert the
more popular numbers on recent club
programmes be Included In the selec
tions to be sung, together with at least
two or three classical but not heavy
choral numbers.
It also is urged that at the last con
cert of the Apollo Club, held at the
Masonic Temple Auditorium, the audi
ence was so large that the seating ca
pacity of the hall was exhausted and
that dozens of people were turned
away from attending the concert be
cause of this reason. A chance will
now be given friends of the Apollo
Club to attend the forthcoming con
cert at the Oaks auditorium, where
ample room will be found for all who
wish to-atend. It will be an informal
occasion, and it is suggested that in
tending auditors unite in brtnglng their
lunch with them, early in the evening,
before the concert, and take part in a
get-acquainted party. One feature of
the concert will be the Ringing of sev
eral lively and humorous yet high
class popular numbers.
V
Dudley Buck's "Golden Legend" was
finely sung at the annual commence
ment concert of Albany College Con
servatory of Music, held under the di
rection of Mrs. Adna Smith Flo, as
sisted by Josepti P. Mulder, tenor: J.
C. Irvine, baritone, and Miss Wtlma
Waggoner and Miss Alice Clement,
pianists, and a chorus of 75 voices.
The rendition of the cantata was first
class, and both Mr. Mulder and Mr.
Irvine, soloists, sang with excellent
effect, giving every satisfaction. Prior
to the rendition of the "Golden Leg
end" a .short concert of miscellaneous
music was contributed with good ef
feet. Kin Clement played one piano
oio, Mr. .Hinder sang three songs and
Mrs. Klo. Mrs. Sox, Mrs. Young and
juiss waggener sang two quartets.

Madam Ernestine Schumann-Heink
ignored the artistic dining-room and
sumptuous menu of the hotel at which
she registered when she recently vis
ited Ann Arbor, Mich., and went to
Painter's restaurant to get a "regular
meal.' for which she paid 25 cents. Two
women friends were with her. Paint
er's is a place where motormen, police,
men, bill collectors and others of simi
lar station In life eat corned beef and
cabbage and similar things. It was just
what Mme. Schumann-Heink was look
ing for. Painter himself ushered her
to a table as she looked the place
over with the eye of a woman about
to eat a "regular meal." A brass but
toned conductor sat near, and what he
was devouring looked good to the
songstress. She told the waiter to
bring her exactly the same thing. So
did her friends. The order w-as lamb,
potatoes, canned corn and the table
"liftings." The opera star ate it with
all the relish that the conductor did
his.

this visit will be with the Figmans.
who are playing there in "Fine Feath
ers." On June 30 Mr. Bernard's Sum
mer stock opens at the Avenue Theater
in Vancouver. Mrs. Bernard, who is
known professionally as Nan Ramsey,
is to be fifth woman in the company
; which just as it reads is five times
removed from the leading roles. But
when one remembers that this is Nan
Ramsey's first year as an actress,
and that she has achieved positive suc
cess in three big character roles with
the Baker Players, then her chances at
soon being fourth, then third, and
maybe second woman seem mighty
good. Clara Byers is to be the leading
woman, Edward Lynch, protege of
Mr. Bernard's, is leading man, Laura
Adams, who played characters with
the Cathrlne Countiss stock last Sum
mer, will have a similar position with
this company. Allyn Iewis is light
comedian and pretty little Rhea Mitch
ell, who has achieved wonderful suc
cess this past season as ingenue with
the Alcazar stock in San Francisco, is
to be ingenue with the Avenue stock.
Sidney Isaacs, long identified with the
box office of the Baker Theater, will
join Mr. Bernard when the company
opens. William Lloyd goes along and
so does Walter Kelly. The opening
bill will be "The Girl of the Golden
West." Later "Mary Jane's Pa" will
be presented and Mayo Methot will go
to Vancouver to appear in the role of
Mary Jane.
Alice Patek, the lovely Titian-haired
ingenue with the Baker players this
past Winter season, has been engaged
for Alcazar stock in San Francisco.
For the six weeks of the reign of Leo
Ditrichstein and Isabel Irving at that
theater as stock stars, Miss Patek will
play whatever roles are given to her,
known in the vernacular as "bits."
After the six weeks are over, however,
she is promoted to the dignity of sec
ond woman.
In "The Medea" of Euripides. Mar
garet Anglin will in August appear
again in the Greek Theater of the Uni
versity of California. Her previous
appearance at the Greek Theater was
in the "Antigone" of Sophocles, the
performance of which attracted wide
spread attention at the time.
Immediately following the university
performance Miss Anglin will begin her
regular season in San Francisco In
'"Antony and Cleopatra," the version of
which will be absolutely new. This
will be followed by elaborate produc
tions of "The Taming of the Shrew,"
"As Tou Like It" and "Twelfth Night,"
in each of which Miss Anglin will act
the leading role.
Henry B. Warner in "The Ghost
Breaker," is In his second month at
the Cort Theater in Chicago and is turn
ing people away nightly. The Chicago
criticisms of "The Ghost Breaker" were
complimentary and the company could
play there all Summer if it were prac
ticable, but Mr. Warner requires a rest
and it is probable the engagement will
not be extended after July 4.
Henrietta Crosiuan has closed her
season in "The Real Thing." She is at
present "doing" the theaters in New
York and will open her country home
about the middle of this month.

Henry Hall.
Since he came here to open his
special starring engagement in
"The Man From Home" and
other plays with the Baker Com
pany, Henry Kail has received
four flattering: offers three of
them for next season, and one
for the Immediate future. One
was from a .well-known stock
company in Ohio to open in
August, another was to star
again in "The Man From Home"
through the Kast. another from
the Liberty Players in Oakland,
and yesterday a letter came from
William A. Brady for him to re
sume his original role in the No.
1 company of "Little Women."
which begins its season in Bos
ton about September 1.
Mr. Hall was the original John
Brook in the famous Louise M.
Alcott play, "Little W o m e n,"
which was one of the biggest
successes in New York last sea
son. It was played all over the
principal Eastern States before
entering New York, and when a
New York run was decided upon.
Mr. Hall was out West and re
fused the offer to throw up his
present engagement, which was
a lucrative one. to take chances
of a Broadway run. which is
more or less of a gamble at best.
However, the play was an in
stantaneous hit in New York
and ran all season. Now that it
Is to be resumed. Mr. Brady of
fers Hall his original part,
which, however, he 1s not going
to accept, for, as before an
nounced, he expects to complete
negotiations with another East
ern firm to produce his play,
"The American." for the coming
season. "The American" was
written for Mr. Hall by Archi
bald Claverlng Gunter.

Here's some real news. Examina
tions of the records of the successful
divorce proceedings of S. Belle Tuck
against Louis Tuck In Chicago the
other day disclosed several events not
hitherto chronicled. It concerns Sophie
Tucker, former musical comedy star
now appearing in cabaret, and. who
leaped into attention first after a local
agitation about her song of the angleworm-wiggle
when wiggles were a
novelty. One disclosure is that the
plump coon-shouting Sophie, who gives
out interviews on "maybe I'll marry
someday I'm only twenty," has al
ready been married for nearly 10 years.
According to Sophie's figuring then,
she was a mere child of 10 years when
she was wed.
The second trifle of information la
that Sophie has a child.
The third is that she is divorced.
A fourth disclosure is a suspicion
that Miss Tucker is contemplating an
other and more successful matrimonial
venture. She says she has not lived
with Tuck for seven years. She al
leged cruelty as one cause for her suit.
The divorce was granted on March.
21. with only one witness, the plain
tiff's brother, O. C. Aubuza, of 66 West
Ninth street. New Y'ork. He corrob
orated his sister's story of cruelty, and
added that his mother always had
taken care of the actress' child.
Hj husband has been guilty of ex
treme and repeated cruelty," said the
wife.
"It started two or three months after
we were married. And he never con
tributed anything to the support of the
child, now 8 years old. Why. I had to
take the baby away and go ' to my
mother's because of that man's cruelty
and the language he used constantly.
We have not lived together for seven
years."
The petitioner asked for the custody
of the child. Judge Gibbons inquired
whether she could support it.
"I sing In a cabaret show." responded
the actress: "I should say X can."
She was given custody. She blush
ingly declined to speak of future mat
rimony. The season of the Gilbert & Sullivan
Opera Company at the Casino Theater.
New York, has proven more successful
both from a financial and artistic
standpoint than has been the case since
the organization was formed three
years ago. Messrs. Shubert and Wil
liam A. Brady announce that this com
pany, with practically the same fa
vorites who sang here last year, will
return to the Heillg Theater late in
August to open the season.
When Anna Held goes on tour next
season under John Cort's direction
George Beban will be a member of th
combination that supports her. Fol
lowing Beban's success In "The Sign of
the Rose" In London a few days ago
Cort entered into cabled negotiations
with him, and as a result placed him
under a contract at a salary of $200o
a week. William Farnum. in a scene
from "Virginius," will probably be
member o-f the same combination.
