GRKATIIOl'SK CO ICIIINU DRAM.V I.EAtii r, AMWEIIIS. "The -Man Who Married m Dumb Wife" Mill lie Offered at I,lttle The ater Tueaday Mekt, "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," the pungent comedy written by Anatole France, will be presented at the Little Theater, Twenty-third street, near Washington street, Tuesday night under the auspices of the Portland Drama League. Miss Nina Oreathouse is staging the play and directing the cast, which includes some well-knowp and promising amateur performers. "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" is held by many to be one of the sharpest and subtlest comedies written in years, and when produced by Gran ville Barker in New York last year was an astonishing success. While making fun of the foibles and idiosyn cracles of the average person, and es pecially of the principals in the aver age marital alliance, it gathers togeth er tho wit of ages and thrusts it on the stage in modern disguise. Frank Branch Kiiey will be cast in the role of the man, and Hildreth Hu mason will play the wife. To Cordelia Broadbent falls the merry role of Judge Botal's servant, and the other members of the cast dovetail into all that this trio does, with the one end in view that of building up material complica tions out of mortal and moral fabrics. The play requires an unique setting, and the Little Theater stage has been converted into a reproduction of the one used by Granville Barker. . The cast in fuH is: Master Leonard Botal. judge. Frank Branch Riley; Mas ter Adam Fumee. lawyer, Carl Reed; Master Simon Colline. a doctor, Albert Brown; Master Jean Maugier, surgeon and barber, Vivian Dent; Master Serafi Dulaurier, apothecary, Carl Huston; Giles Boiscourtier, Leonard Botal's sec retary.

TIIE SUNDAY ORECONIAN, PORTLAND, - v " S ' ' have found it a home and club where the object was not to make money, but to furnish a haven free from graft ana exploitation, in which they could tit themselves to enter once more o,n the struggle for existence. Those who are personally in touch with Scadding House know that it has provided such a home for many of the unemployed and have given liberally for its maintenance. Others, when they know of its good work, doubtless will do the same, and for their benefit the committee in charge of the cotton ball has submit ted a few figures from its books, though they state that "its best work, the put ting of heart into men and the rekind ling of hope in the human breast, can never be put into statistical reports." During the six months ending Feb ruary 2a. 1916. Scadding House sold 1 1 . clean bed-s at 30 cents apiece: cave 810 free beds, sold 21.575 meals at 5 cents each, gave 6802 meals, filled 92 permanent positions, secured 6091 mis cellaneous hours of labor for men, re ceived 558 garments and gave away 475 garments. During these six months the attend ance was 81.9J0 men. who slept, ate and used the readlngrroom at Scadding House. It has appealed to men because, in the words of Chairman Talbot, the opening night, Scadding House has aimed to be "a decent place for decent men on the way to a decent job," and they have welcomed a club where warm shower baths, clean linen and com fortable beds give them opportunity for refreshing slumber that "knits up the raveled sleeve of care" and sends them forth with renewed vigor for an other day's seeking of employment. Many testimonials have come, un solicited, from men who have stopped at Scadding House, showing their ap preciation of their treatment under a plan of operation which aims to be helpful without being officious. At Scadding House, as elsewhere in its work, the principle of the Social Serv ice League has been to force neither religious nor charitable ministrations upon any person nor to withhold them from any person in need and desiring tne same.

GLADSTONE HEARS TALK Importance of Hygiene Is Explained to Men nnd Women. 'Richer to the child than the heritage I of groat-wealth in money or land is the heritage of being well born." was What Big Men Think of Preparedness Preparedness means that you have taken precaution to equip yourself with those things which give you pro tection from an impending disaster, but you must also consider others, for if you are not equipped with the Ritelite Dimmer it may be you who could have prevented a car from going over the bank, or it may be you who blinded the other fellow so he could : not see a pedestrian who lies at death's j door as a result of your lack of con sideration. Would the price of a pair of dimmers of the right kind mean any thing to you if tomorrow you find yourself in one of these or in many other predicaments which may result from negligence? Would you advise the Xation to wait until they were de feated before they prepare? Would you smash your car before you insured it? 'Some people do. No preparedness is equal to that which prevents human suffering and the saving of human life. There are a great many who procrastinate until the inevitable Jias occurred, then comes the expression often spoken: "If I had onlv bought a pair of RITELIGHT DIMMERS this would never have happened." The following men believe in pre paredness and that is the reason they are top-notchers; they lead and others follow: ' Griff Steele J. B. Teon F. E. Grigsby C. A. Parks Walter Holman H. C.
