POR practically the first time in
almost a year Portland Is to have a
quafi pause in its theatrical activ
ity. For one week the so-called legiti
mate drama will be noticeable for Its
absence.
The Howe travel festival films at the
Heilig closed last night, and,' with re
gret to many. The films were a worthy
attraction and will be welcomed any
time again. Beginning- today the Heilig
Marts on a week-of darkness, awaiting
' the coming of John Mason next Sun
day, and tlie Baker Theater remains
dark for the next seven weeks. Tne
Baker company closed a long and
highly successful season last night
with "The Girl in the Taxi" and In a
day or two George L. Baker, the genius
at the head of the organization, starts
for New York to select plays and play
ers for next season, -which, opens Au
gust 31.
Mr. Baker has promised a new com
pany next year.., New plays, -of course,
will bo in order, as some.of the. smash
ing hits, of the last two years are prom
ised, by Mr. Baker, who has announced
lie will be strictly a theatrical man
henceforth, lie has drawn the curtain
on politics, he ' says, and: when Mr.
Baker g'.yes strict attention ., to ther
atricals, theatricals look up. always.
Mr. Baker will be accompanied to New
York by Mrs. Baker, and they will also
visit the leading cities of the country
to watch actors and actresses in action.
"'I want to see them play," says Mr.
Baker, "and I'm going to try to have
one of the best companies ever."
.lohn Cort will give Mr. Baker in
fluential aid in selecting his plays and
players for next year. Chris O. Brown,
formerly a Portland man, who is now
chief of the Sullivan & Considine book
ing offices, will entertain the local
magnate in New York. It is under
stood Mr. Baker is after a leading man
and woman who are about to be starred
in New York. A season at starring in
high-class stock usually foreruns the
actual bursting forth on Broadway, and
Mr. Baker is negotiating to do the
grooming. It is recalled George Baker's
namu ranks with Daniel Frawley'a
when it comes to bringing out the lus
ter of twinkling stars.
With new plays and players then, the
Baker company will open in Portland
August 31. The play lias not been an
nounced. as Mr.- Baker will have to do
some negotiating when he arrives in
the East. Furthermore, the players. will
open in a renovated and remodeled
theater. The arcade leading- from Sixth
to Seventh will be rebuilt entirely as a
permanent structure. It will be almost
twice as wide as at present, and will
be brilliantly lighted and durably con-
htructeu. Kcsides this there will be the
entrance through to Alder street, and
with the completion of the Northwtit
"n iHK Duiiaing, mere will ue an
exit through to Morrison street. The
interior of the theater also is to be
lenovatcd and brightened up. The
owner now is in the East assembling
ideas. ...
The retiring Baker players start on
their various vacations and Summer
engagements this week.
There is no rest for the vaudeville
theaters, however, this year. The three
nouses continue with high-class Sum
mer bills and modern appliances have
been used to the utmost to make the
theaters "coolest spots" in town.
Looking ahead, John Mason in "As
Man Thinks." comes to the Heilig Jitfy

John Mason to Appear In "As a Man
Thinks" Next Week. - '
For seven nights, beginning next
Sunday, July 13, with matinees Wed

Theater Players, will appear for the
irst time In this city in the Messrs.

ume detail that obtained in the new
piece lor one year at the Thirty-nlnth-
Street Theater, New York. The four
acts in Mr. Thomas' latest play depict
scenes and characters in New York, and
Its most obvious story concerns itself
with the jealousy of a wife whose hus
band has deviated from the path of
strict propriety. The wife condones the
offense for the sake of their child.
Then the wife, indiscreetly and with
out thought of wrong, goes to the
apartment of a man with whom she
had been in love years before. This
coming to the knowledge of -the hus
band, he parts with his wife, but,
eventually, persuaded by the gentle Dr.
aeeiig that the evil is only in the mind
'as a man thinketh" he is made to
see and feel aright and the little family
thus enjoys a harmony deeper than
ever. This Is the main theme.
Incidentally there are other heart
interests in the play. John Mason will
appear as Dr. Seelig, Julia Heme as
Mrs. Clayton, the young wife: John
Flood as Frank Clayton, the husband.

TRAIN'ED ELEPHANTS HEAD BILL
Mis Orford's Huge Beasts Do Jicw
Turns on Orpheum Stage.
One1 of the most amazing and stu
pendous acts ever shown on a vaude
ville stage opens at the Orpheum to
morrow matinee. This la Miss Orford
and her wonderful elephants. Two of
the huge, beasts weigh three and a
half tons apiece while the baby tips the
beam at a ton. Miss Orford has not
schooled her charges in the average
elephant trick seen in the circus, but
has taught them new and more diffi
cult feats. They answer the telephone,
dance in perfect time to the music
with their mistress and have other
sensational accomplishments hard to
credit to an animal so unwieldy, no
matter how intelligent. They close
their act with a domestic playlet show
ing a number of phases of home life
with the rescue of Miss Orford from
the second story of a burning building
a grand finale. The elephants are
ut through their paces at a simple
word of command from their mistress.
Pat Rooney and Marion Bent call
their act of song, chatter and dance
At the News Stand." Pat, who is the
son of the famous Pat Rooney, the
dancer, is no less talented than his
father and will give dances unequaled
bv anv of the dancinc comedians. The
act abounds in chatter that is bril
liant, songs that are catchy and
dancing that is superb.
Lamberti, the master musician, por
trays various of the old masters with
clever makeup and then plays the fa
vorite composition of each with the
mannerisms and touches peculiar to
that artist.

A clever dramatic act played by two
men is the offering of Thomas P.
Jackson and company. . It is called "The
Letter From Home" with one of the
characters a pessimist and the other an
optimist.
Eccentric dancers of high attain
ments are Carl and Letty, a young man
and woman who come to America from

Ex-Champion's Wife to Appear at
Pantages This Week.
Light opera at its best, with such
stars as Mrs. Bob Fitzsobbons (Julia

derful Viennese star, heading the cast,
will be featured at -Pantage for the
week commencing with the matinee to
morrow, when "A Bulgarian Romance'

time.
Fifteen players - of ability will be
seen in support of the noted principals,
the act being one of the most preten
tious of the sort ever attempted in
popular priced vaudeville. MagniQ
cent costumes, designed in Vienna and
brought to America for the act; gor
geous lighting effects and special
scenery will be additional features
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was famous in mu
sical comedy before her marriage to
the ex-champion boxer. She played
the leading roles in the big successes
10 years ago and ranked as one of the
foremost beauties of the stage.
Mr. Dano scored a big success In
Vienna and later in Paris, his dancing
being peculiarly attractive. He affords
a fine foil tor Mrs. f itzsimmons. The
libretto is lilting and the many lyrics
are of the sortv that can be whistled.
"The Newly Married Man,' which
Joseph E. Bernard, Hazel Harrington
and company have chosen for a ve
hide, is a rattling satire on married
life, in which the follies of the bache
lor and the benedict are used as the
foundation of the plot. The humorou
situations are- many and Mr. Bernard
is seen, at his best In the leading role
OREOONIAN, PORTLAND.
Miss Harrington is clever as the oppo
site .to Mr. Bernard and she handles
her part with skill.
La Pet'lte Alva, the wonderful child
dancer, will be another . banner num
ber of the bill. She will introduce
many new terpsichorean novelties, her
technique being mervelous, according
to dramatic critics.

slack wire is offered by the great
Mars duo, recently of London. The
members are masters of equilibrtsm
and the feats accomplished are daring
and remarkable.
Slyvester and Vance are entertainers
de luxe, whose songs and sayings add
brightness to the bill.- They are able
amusers and not a dull moment is re
corded in the act.
Billy Dodge, the Beau Brummel com

melodies and parodies. His method
of amusing is delightful. The Pan

NOTED ACTOR ANALYZES
PLAYWRIGHT'S SUCCESS
John Mason, Soon at Heilig in "As a Man Thinks," Says Augustus
Thomas Creates Characters, in His Mind, First as Infants.
Off, there are- two ways of making i
a play, as John Mason sees.it- One
is to hammer out the theme, plot and
dialogue, and then mold the characters
to fit. The other is to create the neces
sary characters and let them do the
playmaking.
Mr. Mason, who comes to the Heilig
Theater for one week, beginning next
Sunday, July IS, in "As a Man Thinks,"
was talking about Augustus t nomas
and his method of playmaking. Mr.
Thomas believes in giving the charac
ters a chance. He did that in "The
Witching Hour." He has done It in
most of his plays. And he toiiowea
that plan exclusively in his last, ami
what many critics term his best play,
As a Man Thinks.
"And I fancy," Mr. Mason said, "that
Mr. Thomas carries that idea farther
and develops it more minutely than any
other playwright, certainly than any
other with whose workmanship I am
acquainted.
Start Begins Away Back.
"Mr. Thomas takes something like a
generation to make a single play no,
not the generation you are thinking
of," he interrupted himself. "I mean
he starts - work at least a generation
before the time of the play. Having, a
plot, he decides what characters will
be needed to develop It. . Then he
creates the characters, not as men and
women of the ages, they will be in the
play, but persons of certain traits and
habits and condition of life.
"Then he writes carefully and pains
takingly the biography of each chaxac-
ter from Ms birth to the time he is to
enter the play. The growth cf the
character's character; the Influence of
heredity and environment; his early
training, religious and intellectual ; his
youthful associates and habits all art-
set forth minutely in these odd biogra
phles of stage people that are to be
right up to the time for the plot of
Mr. Thomas play, to take hold upon
the lives that he has made for them.
Wlta Not Cndseled.
"And then? Why, then, Mr. Thomas
just turns the situation over to these
people of his brain and tells them to
go ahead and get out of It as best they
may.
"Sounds simple enough, yes. But
doesn't it mean an appalling amount of
extra work? Why, no. And for this
reason: Once the characters are

rlous. The stage setting used by the
Exposition Four and their costuming
is gorgeous.
An old laugh-making friend is in
second place. This is John White's
Animal Circus, which was a great hit
on the Empress circuit last season.
Unridable mules, leaping hounds and
dog actors make this act particularly
entertaining for children. Tke circus
has grown since its former appearance
here. Another unridable mule creates
comedy in the act. another negro has
been added to the little company to be
kicked and bitten by the vaudeville
Mauds and several new comedy an
tics by animals and negroes have been
provided.
The noted David Belasco is repre
sented in "The Trainer." the race
track sketch, which fills a prominent
place In the new Empress show. Paul
Dullzell, star of the act, was selected
by David Belasco to play the role of
"dope" tiend in his play. "The City."
Others in the cast are George Pierce
and Jack Harrington, both of whom
are well known on Broadway, Laugh
ter and tears mix in "The Trainer,"
which ' is written around a former
trainer, who bets on a Kentucky horse
to provide comforts in his home, over
which the stork hovers.
Theo Llghtner and Flo Jordan,
programmed as being superb girls, are
next. Their act consists of singing,
dancing and piano-playing. The girls
make many costume changes.
The novelty on the new bill will be
offered by Marcou, who is. said to be a
remarkable shadowgraphlst. Raymond
Teal, a minstrel who has been starred
in big companies, completes the show.
Porter J. -White and company in
"Scandal" and Emma Francis with her
little whirlwind Arabs will make their
where the play is to begin, Mr. Thomas'
labor practically is done. From that
point onward to the end of the play he
merely acts as official historian, re
cording the words and acts of real pea
pie. There is no cudgeling of the
Thomas wits as to what this character
or that character will say or do at ans
juncture. Mr. Thomas knows them aiL
He has known them from their birth
All their passions and weaknesses, al
their convictions and scruples, all the
traits of heredity and habit are as his
A B C's to Mr. Thomas. When the
sudden stress of temptation comes, Mr
Thomas knows .this character will stand
firm, that one will yield. Mr. Thomas
does not make him do it. The reason
is back yonder, many years .ago, in
&ome early Spartan training or some
evil taint of association. Mr. Thomas
may applaud impersonally a fine dash
of spirit or may shed impersonal tears
over tne defection of some poor way
farer. It is not Mr. Thomas' flash or
defection. It is the character's.'"

OREGON CITY. Or.. July 5. (Spe

ly in a "safe and sane" manner, though
Molalla, Parkplace and Clackamas made
exceptions to the rule. Molalla openly
boasted an "insane" celebration. Clack

battle staged by the Third Infantry

famous dancers by Rooney, senior,
and Pat is a worthy son of his
father. He is one of the un
questioned stars in the new
school of dancing- comedians, and
with his pretty and clever part
ner. Marion Bent, he has one of,
if not the funniest, fastest and
wittiest acts that has come over
