Uatinee Daily ?) EDITED BT LEOSK CASS BAEB. WHEN Wilton Lackaye was In Port land in "Fine Feathers" be was host one evening at a dinner party and I was "among' those present." The din ner was given in a local grill, where the cabaret performance is one of the features. In the midst of the festivi ties one of the singers, a dizzy blonde with langorous eyes, warbled a planta tion rag. Instantly Mr. Lackaye sat up, all attention. "That girl Is a Southerner," he an nounced. "How can you tell?" some one asked. "I don't know that I can put it In words, but there's an Indescribable Quality in her voice a peculiar velvet softness that you hear only In a South em voice." We all listened. I dls tinctly heard the slurred r of the South erner. but thought I detected also the flat-footed broadness of the Western drawl. "Listen!" cried Lackaye excitedly as he sang two words of the chorus, "that 'heah bo' never could be said that way If she wasn't from the South. What's more she's a "Virginian. I'm a Vir ginian and I never mistake another when I meet them." So we all laid a wager that she wasn't, just to make him prove it. He did. As we left the dining room he ap proached her. She was sitting near the door and the rest of us formed an In terested and curious background for the I-an-never-wrong Lackaye. "I beg your pardon" this is his best little matinee Idol manner, hat held against his chest, and cane across his arm. "But will you tell us what see tion of the country you are from?" The girl said "Huh?" It never looks well In print, but you know, the shortest cut to a more polite wording of what did you say? Mr. Lackaye patiently repeated his question and then she said: Oh, you mean where was I born? I lived In Seattle all my life until I came to Port land." And her speaking voice was a rasping nasal. Bilently we filed up the stairs and at the top with one accord we all chorused "heah bo." A London reviewer of May Tohe's vaudeville act remarks with appar ently unconscious humor that no one remembered the actress and her act pleased." She wears a large plate-glass imitation of the famous Hope diamond. m m m A meeting of upward of 200 repre sentatives of both sexes of various Jew ish societies met at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago last Thursday and organ ized a "vigilance association" to keep watch for coarse caricatures of the Jew on the stage and to protest against them. The keynote of the meeting was that only through concerted effort and the medium of such an organization as that perfected could the gross carlca " tures of the Hebrew race on the Amer ican stage be abolished. Among those agitating the reform and who approved the formation of the "vigilance association" were Judge Hugo Pam. Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber, Mrs. Emanuel Mandel, Mrs. Joseph Fish, Professor Ernest Freund. Adolf Kraus, Jacob M. Loeb, and Congressman A. J. Sabath. Mary Boland began a Summer season of stock at Long Beach. Long Island, June 25. Edward Eisner, in association with Senator Reynolds, has arranged for a series of the latest dramatic suc cesses as done in the original produc tions for the entertainment of the Sum mer guests at that resort. Among the plays will be "Galatea, " played by Madame Simone in the Antolne Theater, Paris; Madame Nazimova's success, "Countess Coquette": "The Fortune Hunter" and "Get-Rich-Quick Walling ford." A thoroughly equipped stage has been erected in the Pavilion, which will be used as an auditorium. There will be but three performances each week. Wednesday, Saturday and Bunday. The curtain will rise at 8 o'clock and after the play the guests will enjoy dancing. Miss Boland's leading man will be Jack Standing. May Robson, after 10S consecutive Weeks' touring to the Coast and back, closed her season and has sailed for Europe. Next season Miss Robson will star in "The Glory of Clementina." Richard Bennett has been assured that Eugene Brleux, author of "Dam aged JGoods," will visit the United States next year for a lecture tour and will be present in Buffalo during the convention of the International Congress on School Hygiene, when "Damaged Goods" will play its first regular engagement outside of New York. Mr. Bennett is also to lecture on this play during the coming season, his first engagement being before the congregation of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn as the guest of Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis. m m m Of Prlscilla Knowles, leading woman at the Academy of Music in New York City, a critic says: "As Wanda Kelly, Miss Knowles played with admirable facility and rose to the bigger scenes with an emotional power quite out of proportion to her delicate physique. When Miss Knowles played leads for Keating and Flood at the Lyric five years ago her "delicate physique" tipped the scales at 200 pounds. Ethel Grey Terry is leading woman "with the Manhattan Opera House Stock In New York. Ethel Levey, the former wife of George M. Cohan, has made a distinct success In the Hippodrome revue, Lon don. In the Autume Miss Levey in tends to enter the "legitimate," with Gerald Du Maurier playing opposite, in a play by the author of "Doormats." She is to play the role of a demi-mon daine. a Arrangements were concluded by ca ble June 21. whereby Anne Swinburne, who scored an overnight success in the prima donna role in "The Count of Luxembourg" last season, will ap pear under the management of H. H. Frazee for the next two years. Under the terms of the agreement she is to be featured In the title part of "The Coquette," described as some thing more pretentious than musical comedy and less cumbersome than comic opera, the book and lyrics for wmch. are being supplied by Harry B. Smith. Of equal interest, however, is the fact that Victor Herbert, who has al ways been enthusiastic about atrss Swinburne's vocal ability, is now busily engaged in writing a score which he promises will be replete with the mel lifluous melodies for which his music is justly popular. Announcement is also made that "The Coquette" will be staged by Frederick G. Latham, than whom no nroducer has been Identified with more important musical comedy successes ' In recent years. Miss Swinburne will return from Paris about the middle of August In time . tor rehearsals of The Coauette. which will have its local premiere in tne Juongraere Theater some time dur ing the Fall. Reta Boland, who arrives soon over the Orpheum. is a Seattle girl named Chic Bolander. who was a cafe enter tainer in her home town until Martin necK sent for her. Charles Meaklns, seen here a month or two ago as Prince Danllo In "The Merry Widow," was ever a matinee idol and popular with the fair sex. His popularity in this respect became so pronounced that on Saturday his wife. iaitn Bradford, an actress in "The Merry Widow" company, divorced -narlle on more than sufficient grounds. Any xime w uiiam Faveraham sees a cnance to improve the somewhat crude manuscripts of one Shakespeare he is going to do it In "Julius Caesar" next season, for instance, he will introduce a scene which is not in the original piay. xnis is the entrance of Calphur ma, wife to Caesar, into the Senate chamber just after Caesar is assassin ated. She comes down stage and drops at the feet of her dead lord, moaning inarticulately. Such a scene Is entirely without prec edent. But it will afford more role for Mrs. Faversham, who will, of course, be Mrs. caesar. George Behan and William Farhum will both be members of the Anna Held vaudeville show next season. Jacob Adler, the Yiddish traeedlan will soon make his first visit to the facmc Coast.
