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.

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

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

times at the head of her own company.
It was Miss Lee who recently was at

mother.
It was as Ann Whitefield In "Man

"Washington, D. C.
David Warfield. who Is in San Fran
cisco on a. long visit with his mother,

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

week. She will appear in a. fairyland
sketch.
Here's where some of them are va

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

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. -

The Western Coast" Company of

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-
