V....V .r. - . . - ..ft-. JULIE HEiRNB. iTi,IE HKRNE, daughter of the famous actor-author, James A. '- Heme, John Mason's leading woman player In the Messrs. Shubert's production of Augustus Thomas' new drama. "As a Man Thinks." has & country home near Sag Harbor, Long Island, N. Y the scene of her father's play of that time. Miss Heme's mother, a famous actress in her, day, makes Sag Harbor her permanent place of residence, and here are Intact all of the Heme relics the great actor's original manuscripts, books, paintings, costumes and scenic skethcs. The Sab Harbor home is of pre tentious architecture and is in the cen ter of many acres. Heme was a great lover of nature, and cultivated a pro found taste for rare plants and do mestic animals. His children were encouraged in nature studies and gen tle sports, and Miss Julie is an ex pert in yachting, canoeing, angling, swimming, gardening, riding and driv ing. She has several boats, a fine stable of her favorite breed of horse, the cob, and any number of thorough bred dogs, including a brace of Irish setters that were the constant com panions of her father. Miss Heme's part in Mr. Mason's new play, "As a Man Thinks," which will be the attraction at the Helllg Theater all this week, is that of a young wife whose fortunes form the main theme of the new drama. Augustus Thomas is said to have had Miss Heme in mind for this character when he wrote his new play. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS EDITED BY WAITER MAY. LKONE CASS BAER, dramatic critic of The Oregonian, is passing a six' weeks' vacation In Billings, Mont., with her mother, sister and 3-year-old niece. About the middle of August Miss Baer will resume her. comment in The Oregonian. Gordon Davis, the youthful actor and playwright, whose sketch, "Alias Trlxie ICix." was seen at the Pantages re cently, has joined the Liberty stock company at Oakland, Cal. He played the title role in "Charley's Aunt" a week ago. Mr. Davis was at one time one of George L. Baker's juvenile men In the Northwest. Baker Moore, juvenile man with the 3913 Baker stock company early in the season, has finished a successful en gagement with the Ralph Kellard stock at Syracuse, N. Y. following a good run with the Harlem stock in New York. He has now been engaged as leading juvenile man with the Union Hill stock. All reports to the contrary, it has teen given out as definite that Willard Mack and-Marjorie Rambeau, his ac complished wife, will open their 25 weeks' stock engagement at Salt Lake, August 11. Brandon Tynan and Dick Ferris, the latter the veteran stock actor and man ager, have come to a parting of the ways, and "Bob" McKim will take Mr. Tynan's place as leading man in the Ferris company. There 'was a time when Dick Ferris didn't give a snap of his fingers for a leading man. He was able to do week after week of leading man work himself. Here are a few statistics that won't ibewilder you and which are Interest ing. In the last year statistics show that 6.380,000.000 nickels were paid out to see the movie Bhowa. This means S319.000.000 paid by 3,600,000,000 spec tators, it is also set forth that more than $80,000,000 is Invested in the in dustry; that more than 200,000 persons are employed and that 10,000,000 feet of picture films are produced weekly. Ana wnwe "movies- is tne subject, a recent film, "A Mother's Oath," at the Columbia, cast a familiar face upon the screen. It was that of Jennie Lee, a well-known actress throughout the Northwest and on the Coast, who for the last few years has been a resident of Spokane. Miss Lee began her career in San Francisco. She likes to tell of wearing her first train dress under the direction of McCullough. She played with Forrest, Janauschek and Modjeska and has toured the Coast cities several times at the head of her own company. It was Miss Lee who recently was at the Pantages in "Alias Trlxie Ktx." In "A Mother's Oath" she was cast as the mother. It was as Ann Whitefield In "Man and Superman," George Bernard Shaw's play, in which the heroine, and not the villain, "still pursues him," that Izetta Jewel appeared last week at Poll's, in "Washington, D. C. David Warfield. who Is in San Fran cisco on a. long visit with his mother, will revive "The Auctioneer" next sea son. It was "The Auctioneer" which first revealed Mr. Warfield's genius as a character actor. With the departure of Mayo Methot for Vancouver, where, with William Bernard and the company he is direct ing, she will appear as Mary Jane in "Mary Jane's Pa." comes the realiza tion that the diminutive actress is now in demand. She will "go on" in Van couver with only a few rehearsals, and It has been weeks since she last played the role. It is recalled she also was sent to Spokane not long ago to play with the American Theater stock com pany, and. .what, with her trip with the Admen to the East and an inter view with President Wilson and Mayor Gaynor, the child has had a real "whirl of activity." Within a week after her return to Portland little Mayo will be a feature attraction at the Empress for the full week. She will appear in a. fairyland sketch. Here's where some of them are va cationing: Maude Adams, when she closes her present tour in "Peter Pan," the middle of July, will go to one of her country places down on Long Island or up in the Catskills. She reopens in the Bar rie fantasy early in the Autumn. Billie Burk, after her long and. trying season in the two Pinero plays "The 'Mind the Paint' Girl" and "The Ama zons" has gone to Europe for rest and recreation. She will return late in August to begin rehearsals of "The Amazons," in which she is to make a short Autumn tour. Hattie Williams, too, has been spend ing her vacation In Europe, and Miss Julia Sanderson also will seek rest and new energy across the Atlantic. Nazimova, who closed her tour in "Bella Donna" in Los Angeles recently, has planned a walking tour for herself and her husband, Charles Bryant, in Switzerland. Blanche Bates, who will close, her tour in "The Witness for the- Defense" at Los Angeles, will return immediately to her farm at Ossinning, N-. Y., where she has to look after the rebuilding of her house, that was partially destroyed by fire a few months ago. John Drew is passing his Summer chiefly on horseback, renewing his ac quaintance with the roads about his place at East Hampton, Long Island. Richard Carle is Just being lazy at Long Branch. N. J., and Donald Brian is playing tennis and going fishing in the same locality. Do you remember Raymond Hitch cock's unmanageable lock of hair which was- all the time falling over Ills tem ples and .right eye when he was in Portland recently in "The Red Widow" with Flora Zabelle? Well, no more need It give you a case of "nerves." . A ruth less barber in a Middle-Western town the other day made away with it while Raymond was having a lapse of mem ory and presence of mind. For years Mr.. Hitchcock has petted and pampered that lock of hair and when he realizied that the barber had applied the shears, there was a little red fire scattered. :''. It has about been settled that Eve lyn Thaw will appear at Hammersteins, New York, for. the month of August. It is announced her salary jvill be be tween (3000 and $4000 a week. Her dressmaker, bills from whom the incar cerated Harry refused to honor, now may take hope. - . . "Madame Sherry" is gradually reduc ing. She was given a condensed per formance -in 50 minutes the other day. Since then she was reduced to 37 min utes and by the graduation process, she may fade away in time, for which many will be thankful. - "Alma, Where Do You Live?" la to be given in tabloid form next season by Joe Weber. r Alexander Pantages has decided to Invade Southern territory and has scouts out looking up houses for San Antonio, El Paso, Houston, Dallas and Galveston. . Maude Leone, now in stock at Van couver, B. C, will be under John Corfs management next season. . "Oh," Oh Delphine" .is about to start out of Chicago on its tour which will bring it to this coast. The Western Coast" Company of "Within the Law" went into rehearsal last week at the Eltinge Theater, New York. The cast is headed by Margaret lllington and includes Agnes Barring ton, D. L. Thomas. Byron Beasly, How ard. Gould, Clara Greenwood, Neil Mor an, Charles Martin, Hilda Keenan, George Wright, Bernard Rand ell, Frank Camp and Thomas L. Davis. A report says Eddie Foy and his crew of little Foys will be seen in vaudeville next season. Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, the recently knighted English actor, who has declared his intention of leaving tne stage as soon as his present en gagements are fulfilled, will make his last appearance in San Francisco In me opring oi 115, according to a London cable. Sir Johnston made his last bow to an English audience last week in Kipling's "Light That Failed," and "Hamlet" his two most famous characterizations, and it was then, re plying to an appeal made to him by the critics' circle of Great Britain, which desired him to make his final appear ance in England, that he made the fol lowing announcement: "My farewell to the stage will not be made in London. It will be at San Francisco in 1915 when I shall complete my farewell tour or the United States and Canada." "The Blue Bird." which is now in its third year in this country will be seen In Portland the coming season with the orignal New Theater production and practically the same cast which ap peared in this play by Maeterlinck dur ing its engagement at the New Theater. The announcement that Mrs. George Arllss is. to appear in support of George Arliss in "Disraeli" next season recalls that actor's statement in his address to the graduates of a school of acting a year ago: "I am the despair of press agents; I. have only one wife, and to make matters worse Bhe is the same wife I had 10 years ago." George M. Cohan will again be repre sented in the theater next season as the dramatist of a novel this time with "Seven Keys to Baldpate," a recent bit of fiction that won his showman's fancy. wiinam Sellery, the Cookie of "Over the River," is bewailing his hard luck. Ever since the first performance of the musical piece Sellery has been regarded as a personal hit. and he has lamented a lack of the newspaper recognition to wnicn ne lelt He was entitled. In order to gain publicity he placed an order a few days ago for 5000 post cards showing on one side a. half-tone cut of himself in the character. Also he bought 5000 stamps with which to mail them around the country. The cards were delivered to him one afternoon, ana xnat evening "Over the River' aorupuy ended its season. The minor members of the company were nearly siranaea. The one-night stand is the bete noir of the average actor or actress, regard less of whether his or her feet be urmiy piantea upon tne topmost or struggling for a hold upon the lower most round of the professional ladder. After a week or so of "one nlghters even your chorus lad or lassie will often spend half of the weekly wage to run into a real town for Sunday, and tne iacK or aiiection snown by many stars for the smaller towns and cities is often most disproportionate with their importance as factors ' in their season's success. There have been some stars, whose engagements in the larger cities brought, season after sea on, very Inconsequential returns, but who amassed a competence in the one- PEOPLES THEATER West Park and Alder Today, Tomorrow and Tuesday.
