cusses Expenditures of
Proposed Bond Issue.
ESTIMATES PARED DOWPJ
Criticisms of Department Answered
and Promises Made for Future.
Superintendent Mische Is
Commended, for Work.
Permanent Improvements in Mount
laDor i-arK, costing, J69.000. will be
iiiaae me ensuinp year If the $200,000
uon-u issue is voted by the DeoDle Da
cemoer 9. said Commissioner Brewster
in nis address before the Mount Tabor
.improvement Association Friday night.
Mr. Brewster explained In detail the
park policy for the ensuing year, and
remarked that It wu first proposed to
iiiuiio improvements costing $760,000
and Issue bonds to that amount, urnril.
Ini? to the requirements submitted by
Superintendent Mische. but this has
been cut down to $200,000 for the very
practical reason, said Mr. Brewster,
that the people would not approve that
amount of bonds, and hence it was cut
to ?200,000.
The Commissioner declared that
Mount Tabor Park Is not a local park,
and that when developed as It will be.
more than 500,000 persons will come to
it every year. According to Mr. Mis
che's estimates, he said. It will cost
jiuo.uoo to complete the general de
velopments contemplated there.
Shrubbery to Be Planted.
"The ensuing year it Is contem
plated," said Commissioner Brewster,
to pave about 8600 feet of the drive
ways already graded there, cover the
grades on the roadways in the park
with shrubbery and roses so the scor
ing of the park will completely disap
pear within five years. A swimming
pool and lockers will be added. The
swimming pool is absolutely necessary.
The swimming pool of Peninsula Park
was patronized at the rate of 600 a day.
Bellwood is the next swimming pool,
and children go out to Bellwood Jn
order to get to the swimming pool
there.
"These developments will make the
Mount Tabor Park the leading park In
the city. There has been some criti
cism of methods employed, but If the
people will have patience the develop
ments there will speak for themselves."
Entrance Is I) l-iiccl.
R. C. Wright, who presided, asked
Mr. Brewster about the entrances to
the park, provisions for playgrounds
and band concerts. Mr. Wright pointed
out that one of the main entrances to
Mount Tabor Park should be from Bel
mont street by way of East Sixty
ninth. Mr. Wright said that practically
all who visited Mount Tabor Park by
streetcar or automobile this year came
by way of Belmont and East Sixty
ninth streets and entered the park with
great difficulty because no provisions
for this entrance had been made.
"We expect." said Mr. Wright, "that
you will have provisions made by which
the public can get Into the park by
Belmont and East Sixty-ninth streets
and that the children be provided with
ample facilities." .
Maps were shown by Park Superin
tendent Tanna providing for an en
trance to the park by way of. East
Sixty-ninth street and the county road.
Commissioner Brewster answered many
questions He answered the criticisms
made on Superintendent Mische that
the native beauty of Mount Tabor Park
was being marred and fhat native
trees had been removed In grading
roadways.
Mr. Mische Defended.
"I shall stand by Superintendent
Mische," said Commissioner Brewster,
"and declare the superintendent would
do more, to preserve the native trees
than any one else. Mr. Mische has
Faved every tree possible and often
changed the routing . of the roadways
In order to avoid cutting trees. It was
necessary to eliminate the old roads In
the park because they were too steep.
The park roads should not be on a
grade of more than five per cent, and
this grade has been maintained in the
ilrlveways of Mount Tabor Park. When
the shrubbery and roses - have been
planted along the graced roadways this
Visll and permitted to cover the grad
lniss, these driveways will appear dif
ferent." One speaker called attention to the
fact that the children had been prom
ised a playground on the north side,
but instead a playground had been
established at South Mount Tabor, and
North Mount Tabor Ignored, as It had
been Ignored about an entrance.
Favoritism la Dented.
Commissioner Brewster replied that
a playground had been established at
South Mount Tabor as there was level
ground there for that purpose, and de
nied that there was any Intention to
Ignore the people of North Mount Ta
bor in any way" as far as he knew.
Among other things, Mr. Brewster
spoke of the Laurelhurst Park and the
improvements proposed there. He an
swered many questions and explained
the general scope of his duties as Com
missioner of Public Affairs and among
them, he said, was to act as janitor of
the City Hall.
In closing Commissioner Brewster
paid that he would take into full con
sideration the request for an entrano
by . way of - Belmont and East Sixty
ninth streets, and playgrounds for chil
dren on the north side. 7
It -was announced that other Com
missioners will be Invited to address
the club on city affairs in the near future.

OLIVER MOROSCO.
Photo' by Matzene.
OLIVER MOROSCOI Fifteen years
ago none knew it; now It is her
alded as one of the big names
among big names in the theatrical
world.
His is the name that is now quoted
"as being the man who linked the At
lantic with the Pacific In the theatrical
world." And all this accomplished since
1900, which was the year he opened
the Burbank Theater at Los Angeles,
Cal., and, strange as it may seem, the
doors of the Burbank swung open Au
gust 13, 1900. and this is his thirteenth
year as its manager, defying all theat
rical superstitions in reeard to 13. Nov
he controls the destinies of five thea
ters in Los Angeles.
Many have asked. "Of what does the
secret of his success consist?" In a
recent interview by Waldemar Young,
dramatic critic of the San Francisco
Chronicle, the explanation was partly
given by Mr. Morosco.
Faith In Business Firm.
"First Of nil T am o c-vao v.AllAn..
1 " - . . 1 ulii t v ri
In what I believe In. I have coupled
ambition with initiative nd hn-trino-
started from the. bottom of the ladder
ana seen theatricals In all their differ
ent stages, 1 think I measure a little
bit differentlv than nthpr urniK.a.r
Then, there is enough of the gambler
in me to take a chance in what I think
is rignt.
'I believe in AmArlmn tiv.atwIm
also those from the Pacific Coast. To
show this, I am now making1 a rather
unque oirer to the dramatists of Cali
fornia. I am giving a bonus of $500
in cash to the California playwright
Whose nlnv T mav nnc.nt T I nrt in,..A
its production, either in San Francisco
at the Alcazar, where I have arranged
wnn rea tseiasco ror several of my
neW BrOdURtintlH. nr. Pica at snA a ..
own theaters in Los Angeles; and, if
it should be a success, I also agree to
place It on Broadway, New York, with
in two years of its California produc
tion. Coast Wrltera Preferred.
"As judges I wfll appoint a leading
critic of Los Angeles, one of San Fran
cisco and - I want myself to be the
third judge, if possible, I being the
person most vitally Interested. I do
not wish it to be thought that I con
fine : my field to California, as I am
willing to read, or have read, manu
scripts by other authors throughout
the country, but I prefer authors from
the Pacific Coast, I being a 'native of
there, and naturally wishing to help
to put before the theater-going public
of the United States the efforts of
men of brains from that part of the
country."
Mr, Morosco then went on In a re
flective mood: "Speaking of plays,
have you noticed how many newspaper
men are turning Into playwrights? And
some of them have proved very suc
cessful. One reason why I think a
newspaper man should make a success
ful playwright Is because he sees It all,
both the seamy and the plentiful side
of life. He meets characters who
speak and act, not like puppets, but
like real human beings.
"There is another thing I believe In;
that is youth on the stage. By that
I don't mean to decry the older gen
eration of Thespians, but we are liv
ing in a progressive age, so let's pro
gress. I can quote you several in
stances since I became a producer:
First, Miss Bessie Barriscale, a Cali
fornia girl, who created the part of
Luana in the "Bird of Paradise" in
Los Angeles three years -ago; next.
Miss Peggy O'Neil, who will be seen
on the Coast this season in ' "Peg o'
My Heart," and who, incidentally, was
picked out of 1P00 applicants for this
roll, another scheme of mine that the
New York managers laugh at"

Legitimate Drama, Vaudeville, Musical Comedy and the "Movies."
IRVINGTON CLUB TO MEET
Proposition.: to Enlarge Holla da j

The- Greater Irvington Club will hfcld
an Important meeting next Tuesday,
night, in Its clubhouse, Thompson street,
near East ' Twenty-second ' street. The
following subjects will-be considered;
"Tbe. Portland Trade Schpol-js it

"Parks and Playgrounds," with special
reference to the enlargement of. the
Holladay Park to .11 blocks, as pro
posed by A.- f ; Swensson, of the Anglo
Pacllc Realtyv Company. A successor
to J. . Wood . .Smith,., chairman ,f the
park committee, also will be appointed.
"The people of Holladay Addition are
till interested In these questions," said
il. C-. Thompson, " president ef the
Greater; irvington Club, "and. should
come out so that the .club can take
intelligent action. Wo are "Interested
specially in the Holladay Park and the
proposition which has been submitted
by the Anglo Pacific Realty' Company,
by which the two blocks of the present
park will revert to the company, and
the park be enlarged to extend to East
Fifteenth street and to the right of
way of the O.-W, K. & N. ,Co. Under
this arrangements the eltjr would pay

ENORE ULRICH. who plays Luana
in Oliver Morosco's production of
'The Bird of Paradise," which
comes to the Helllg Theater for one
week, beginning next Sunday, has
probably played a greater number and
variety of heavy leading roles than
any other actress of her years upon
the English-speaking stage, either at
home or abroad.
Miss Ulrich has. just made an exit
from her 19th year, and in a maze of
parts, embracing almost the entire cat
egory of drama in the English lan
guage, one may select 86 roles of slse
enacted by her In a space of 26 months
truly a record in itself.
Among these may be mentioned the
leading woman's part in "The Fortune
Hunter," "Get-Rich-Quick Walling
ford," "The Dawn of a Tomorrow,"
"Twelfth Night," "The Return of Eve,"'
"Over Night." "The Virginian," "Going
Some," "The House Next Door," "The
Deep Purple," "Seven Days." "The
Chorus Lady" and "Cameo Klrby."
This is neither a chronological nor
even partially-complete list of , her
roles. 'It is merely a selection Intended
as representative of her surprising ver
satility. The young girl scored almost
equal critical praise in such pole-apart
things as "Walllngford," "Twelfth
Night," "The' House Next Door" and
"The -Chorus Lady"-surely catholicity
when it comes to varying roles.
Nor would a selection of her parts
be complete without, enumerating oer
tain musical roles. Her natural rim
bleness e nd vocal resources, so splen
didly exploited by "The Bird of Para,
disej' are partially explained by . the
fact that she was exceedingly success
ful, in a slnging-and-dancing role in
"The Time, the Place and the Girl"
and "Little Johnny Jones" and also
won personal commendation from Au
thor ' Locke and Produeer Weber by
her superb singing In the chief role of
"The Climax," which she played about
a year ago. -
She has -also-made a successful dash
Into vaudeville, where . she was a
rocket-like headllner f or . a period of
weeks. It was the manager, not the
star, who came down like the stick of
the rocket -(to complete . the simile)
when she returned to the legitimate
field. .
, There Is now one field of Thespianic
endeavor, remaining' motion pictures.
Yes, Miss Ulrich has also been a film
star. - She was especially engaged to
portray a difficult role in a specially
released film for one of the big
licensees last Autumn, and the New
York papers whispered at the time that
she Had, refused an offer of flOOO a

week to remain before the twinkling
lens. '
If Lenore -Ulrich had now some Pue,
cini or Leoncavallo assignment upon
her list, she would have run the whole
gamut of mimic endeavor. And it may
be said that even, that would not be
impossible. She has a splendid voice,
a good musical education, and, for her
own amusement, has completely, learned
the role of - Puccini's "Madam But
