' S V K V BLONDS MORE POPULAR, ' SAYS ELEANOR DANIELS Leading Woman in "Kitty McKay," Coming to Heilig, Says- Light Com plexions Bring Husbands to Most Maids of Type. : ' v - i i ' - u Yir Hv - -f?st4 - V V , l t?, ' if H T 18 Psslble'" ears Miss Eleanor H Daniels, who has a principal role In "Kitty MacKay," to be seen at the Heilig- Theater, "that for a certain time in the last few years blonds were not held up as the most attractive types of beauty, but that does not alter the fact that ever since the time of Cleo patra, of whom so much controversy has emanated, and who. It is contended by many, was decidedly a natural blond, that type of beauty has been in more than ordinary demand. If one visits any art gallery where paintings by the great masters hang one will find,- in the majority of cases, that the portraits most valued are those of blonds. Pos sibly the reason of that Is the artist found greater display for the genius in the coloring he could give his picture, but it is just as. likely that the features of the subject were the true cause for the painting-. "Why are so many brunettes to be found at telephone boards, behind coun ters or living the life of mature maid ens? Do you find many blonds Waiting for some good man to come along and offer them a home? Not at all- Ask any manager of a telephone company, or any other institution where pretty girls are naturally found, why he has not more blonds among the hundreds of girls in his employ, and he will tell you quickly enough that he can't keep them long enough to learn the .work. Some man is always coming along with his heart in his hand and a five-carat dia mond ring in the other. The pretty brunette, with marcelled wave and win some smile, remains at the switch board and gossips with her coworkers about the splendid catch Mabel made "Hundreds of blonds, in equal to like numbers of brunettes, have adopted the theatrical profession, some as a means of livelihood, others because they have ambition and feel sure the great amusement-seeking publlc demands them. How many of the pretty blond gtrls re main? Only those who have been gifted "with unusual ability and truly love the work. The great majority of them, however, soon marry, and when you ask three months later where little Edith, the blond girl who worked on the end is. you probably will be told she onlv remained three months or so. and that ehe is noW mistress of her own home at Bay shore, L. I., and has a town es tablishment on Riverside Drive, having married a Wall-street broker. Clara, the cute little brunette who worked on the other end. Is still smiling sweetly out of a mass of fluffy curls upon the occupants of the first-row seats." (Continued From Page a.)

Have we Americans the sanction of Congress, that we have a National an them in "The Star-Spangled Banner?" Wei have not, according to a letter Just received from the Department of State, Washington, D. C. by Albert T. Hoppe, 376 East Everett street, thla city. Accordingly.. Mr. Hoppe's mother. Mrs. Theresa L. T. Hoppe. has com posed a song entitled "America, Star of the West." which .makes a bid for the vacant place of a real National an them of the United States, with words and music composed by a native-bora American. There is no use denying that "Th'e Star-Spangled Banner." although patri otic and much admired, is too high keyed in music, to be singable, because it is. at least among popular audi ences. Try the air. already written as an English drinking song, and see. Mrs. Hoppe's song, "America, Star of the WeC is patriotic both in words and music, and her message is one of peace rather than red war. From the accompanying music score, it will be observed that the music is dignified, uplifting, tuneful and easy to learn and sing, while its compass is moderate. "The policy of the nations of the earth has been in time of peace to prepare for war. Hence Is the world, when not at warfare, always resting on its arms,", says Mrs. Hoppe. "But we are now coming to learn the truth that "All the world is kin and God is the father of us all. The principles in stilled in the minds and hearts of the children form the character of the na tions, and those yet to come. Their songs are a most vital inspiration. While all the European world, in arms, is singing Its stirring war songs, the Western world as with one accord, is singing the God inspiring theme of uni versal peace.". Mr. Hoppe has already made ar rangements that the song will be played soon in Portland Theaters, and sung by school children in the schools of this city. The sons is registered to be copyrighted. The high-class concert Ty piano stu dents with accompaniments played by an orchestra and given toward the end of last season at Washington High school auditorium and under direction of W. Gifford Nash, was such an edu cational success that requests have been received by Mr. Nash that more of the series be given soon. Mr., Nash says that the venture is by no means abandoned, and that next week he hopes to announce the name of the manager for the next series of such concerts, whichfill a long-felt public need. It is possible that a" suite for orchestra, written by Alexander Hull, of Newberg. Or., and an orchestra work by Earl Sharp, of this city, will be included in the programmes. It is good news to know that at these con certs the phrase "made in Oregon" will have practical musical significance. Miss Leona Bisch. of Seaside, Or., is spending the Winter in Portland in preparation for recital work under the direction - of Harold Hurlbut. Miss Blsch is the possessor of a soprano voice of excellent quality and extensive range.

Then one could trace back through their ances try what the consternation was. when, on that peaceful Sunday morning of September 11, 1814, as the people were responding to the call of the diurch bells, the cry went through the city: "The enemy is at our doors." Then boomed from the Courthouse squire three cannon, and the martial tread and beating drum stilled the church bells, for the battle was on the well beloved city was threatened by no ordinary foe.

' The Apollo Club, male chorus, met in the first rehearsal of the season at Boyer hall, Tllford building, last Monday night, and all voted that the new re hearsal hall was the largest, most commodious and most conveniently ar ranged hall in which this chorus has yet met for vocal work. Good progress was made .on the music selected for the approaching concert of the Apollo Club. John Ross Fargo, tenor., who has been absent in New York for one year, coach ing in vocal work with F. X.

As night closed in and the festivities drew to an end. hundreds of thousands watched the bombardment of Fort Mc Henry, pyrotchnically produced from floating craft and nearby fortifications, the Star-Spangled Banner of "Nineteen Fourteen," with its 4 8 stars, floated from a steel staff erected on the ram parts on the original site of the flag of "Efrhteen Fourteen." Fireworks were displayed all along Baltimore's 18 miles of waterfront. Sunday "Universal Peace" will be the theme of every religious service. Lest we forget, let us send a thought to the maker of that flag Mary Pick ersgill, a famous maker of flags and pennants, "whose address was "House 60. Albemarle street. Old Town," which still stands and in which the colors were cut. but owing to their sise had to be taken to a nearby brewery to be sewed. The flag had 15 stripes, alternating red and white, the union of 15 stars, white in a blue field. It measured 36 by 29 feet. MUSICAL DIRECTORY. VOCAL.
