LEDERER. who has ' "discovered" more personal "hits" than almost any other theatrical man, tells in an article in: the Green Book magazine, how he found Ruth St. Denis and made her a star over night. It was along in 1894 when the Cherry Sisters were tho sensation of the day. Two women, one young, the other middle-aged, and both showing every evi dence of rural residence, came to his office. "I surveyed them amazedly for a mo- merit," writes Mr. .'Lederer, "and then, taking myself in hand as best I could. I inquired what I could do for them. The elder said: "I'm Mrs. Denis, aud this is my daughter. Ruth Denis. We live in Somerville. New Jersey.' Y"eB,?" I said,, encouragingly. She coughed nerviously. 'My daughter Ruth wants to go on the stage,' she said. 'Oh!' I exclaimed. Then: 'What can your daughter do?' Tho mother answered proudly: 'She can dance.' 'Where did she study?' 'She never did study.' 'Who taught her to dance?' 'Nobody taught her.' Er what makes you think she can dance, then? Whom has she seen perform; what plays has she seen?' 'She never saw any.' "I glanced at the two of them. Was it possible that these two country women were making a fool of me? Were they there on a bet, perhaps? A glance at their eager face, however, convinced 'me that this could not be the case, and I took up my questioning where I had left off. Finally I asked: 'Whatever started her dancing?' The mother said: 'Site saw some circus posters with ladies in short skirts dancing and kick ing up their heels, and she came home and told me she bet she could do it, too. She did, and she's been at it ever since. At first I was afraid she'd hun herself; she never does. Could'nt you let her show you what she can do? There aren't any circus ladies can beat her!' "Thoroughly convinced that I at last had a rival to the Cherry Sisters, I took them ont on the empty stage of the Casino, and sat down at the piano; and as I played, Ruth Dennis later known as Ruth St. Denis raised one hand up above her head, and kicked backward with one foot, touching it with her toes. With a crash I stopped the mimic, and overturned the piano stool in my baste to grasp her hand. This was no clown. This was a girl destined to become a wonderful dancer. I told her so. She said: 'I know it.' . "I signed her up as quickly as I could for the 'Passing Show' and she made .a hit as 1 bad known she would do. She was crazy on tbe subject of the odd, weird aud the fantastic, and read constantly. Later she went abroad. She never learned a single dance from the Orientals, though, for she has never been to their countries. She has only studied from books and Improvised. A wonderful personality." Miss Ruth St. Denis and her com" pany will appear at the Heilig Theater, Broadway and Taylor street, for three nights, commencing Thursday, with popular Saturday matinee. &ift An Opportunity Worth While Upholstered icocKers If you are interested in Rockers, and no doubt you are we know you will be if you pass our Fifth street windows and see these beautiful ROCKERS that go on sale tomorrow morning.

"I received orders from Martin Beck yesterday to put the scenic artist at work to repaint alt our scenery and other instructions received by me from the New York office indicate that the Orpheum has come to Portland to stay ana mane good through the merit of Its shows.

Griffith, Who Declares He Is Ordained Minister. Finally Admits He'd Take. l' Gun. So bitterly is John R. Griffith; a cashier at Roberts Bros.' store, op posed to war that much difficulty was occasioned in Judge Gatens' court yes terday in getting him to say that in case of the United States was attacked by el foreign foe ho would take up arms to defend the country. Mr. Griffith, who declared that he is an ordained clergyman, was up for naturalization as n American citizen. He expressed the opinion that war is nothing more or less than murder, and for a long time was loath to admit that he would par ticipate in it under any circumstances. Naturalization Examiner Hazard and the Judge vied with each other in pre senting hypothetical questions touch ing on a defensive war to Mr. Griffith and in explaining to him that he could not be a loyal American citizen and determinedly oppose his individual opinions to those of the regularly con stituted authorities. It was necessary to draw for him vivid word pictures of an enemy s army laying waste the country and pillaging and murdering before he finally de clared that he wouldn't Etand for any thing like that. He was admitted. A storm arose when G. T,igano, con ductor of the Elks' band, came up for his final citizenship. Mr. Hazard in sisted on delving Into charges made against Tigano by his divorced wife to the effect that while in California, some years ago, he associated with other women.
