Wise. Ernest Glendenning and others
In the cast.
It should create a ve.ttabla sensation
here. The French restaurant scene.
In which all the glassware, dishes and
furniture are wrecked, is one of the
biggest moment in any play and
never fails to startle the audiences and
send them home talking of the very
daring of it. The role of the leading
woman is little short of wonderful
that soul of a woman being battered
and torn between lies and calumny,
with the natural comiicting emotions
and lured as she is by the cravings to
which a woman's heart is heir, serven
as a background for one of the most
remarkable plays ever written,

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
FOLLOW1XO out the ancient and
honorable idea of the fitness of
things, this chronicle today should
l)e a pean of thankfulness. You know
that on New Tear's I dash out a yard
of resolutions. Not mine own but of
the theater, a sor of planning: for the
Mw year and & gathering up of the
tag ends of the year Just pone by. At
IJaster the theatrical game is on the
wane and bo there's some more obser
vations to be made, about where the
actors will go for their Summer vaca
tions, and a rousing of vague hopes
that maybe out here our season may
be lengthened a bit and a few more
road shows get to us. And at CiristmaJi
one can always find a lot of new stuff
to embalm in print about the actor
folk spending the holidays and four
dollars here with us. Oh. Christmas
fitories are a cinch. But Thanksgiving
Isn't not in the exciting life of a
thcspian. If there isn't a rehearsal in
the morning there in always a matinee.
And you've got to get up pretty early to
get any sort of a real Thanksgiving
dinner under your belt and get back
to your dressing-room in time to make
up for a 2:30 matinee. And between the
matinee close and getting back at 7
o'clock to get ready for the night per
formance there isn't much time for ob
erving the time-hallowed custom of
enjoying Thanksgiving cheer in the
way of food. In an actor's life it just
can't be managed. Turkey and
cranberries and mashed "tatens drowned
In gravy are taken on the run, or not
t all, on the last Thursday in every
November of an actor's life. And it's
not so darned funny, either, to sit in
a hotel no matter how grand the hotel
Is and eat all alone, or with the folk
you work with every day and a com
pany of fine blue devils, when you ve
pot a mental blueprint of your own
Jiome folk sitting around a; big table
with all the extra leaves in, laden with i
mother's home-cooked wonders, and to
know that they're missing you Just as
much as you're missing them.
Yes an actor's life is a fine lot not
n Tnanksgiving day. I've got enough
turkey day sob stories and homesick
Jiistories piled up in my system
other folks' stories, to write a book
hut no one wants to hear that sort of
Junk. So lets talk about some of the
theatrical things we are thankful for.
Kor one I'm glad that "East Lynne" or
"The Prune Hater's Daughter" isn't
Jlaying here this week, that George I.
, Baker hasn't put on an Uncle Tom
fihow for a season, and that "The Birth
of a Nation" hasn't returned for an
other spell. I'm thankful that the
Theatrical Managers' Association didn't
Pick this week for their burlesque on
CamilJe" and that Paul Gllmore isn't
on the Orpheum and headed in this di
rection. I'm glad the Alcazar Players
ren't putting on one of Willard
Slack's plays, and that '.Robert Mantell
and his annual . revival . of Shakes
pearean repertoire are a thousand miles
way.
I'm thankful that the booking gods
Tiave provided a comedy for the Heilig
this week, that Ray Samuels the blue
ttreak of vaudeville is to be at the Or
jiheum and that "Potash and Perl
mutter," a comedy I've always liked, is
to be shown at the Baker. And every
other showhouse where my beat will
lake me this week is going to house
fun and I'm thankful for that. Pan
tages, for instance, tops its lengthy
list of fun-provender with' "The
Two Pikers," a miniature musical
comedy, and at the Hip there's a long
thow topped by more musical comedy
sponsored by the Caroline Girls an
octette of entertainers. '
We'll go back now to "Fair and
Varmer" which- opens on Thanksgiv
ing day with a matinee and runs the
remainder of the week. There will be
no performance, however,, on Saturday
night. Selwym & Co. are sending
this company, which is billed as a Joy
' play in three breezes, beginning with
a zephyr and ending in a whirlwind.
.It was a record-breaking mirth-maker
for two seasons in New York and one
in Chicago. Avery Hopwood, who
wrote "Nobody's Widow" and "Seven
"Hays." is entitled to keen anticipation
Iwhen he writes another farce. This
one. "Fair and Warmer," will make us
.more indebted to him. It is a fascin
ating story of four young people, with
enough time and money to take them
selves seriously, and who get them
selves into more actual .trouble that
only a playwright like Avery Hop-
wood could get them Into and extri
rate them from. "Fair and Warmer
is brought to us by an admirable cast
of farceurs.
The Orpheum has another bouquet
show a cluster bouquet. Ray- Samuels
our own Ray is the star flower and
around her are five gorgeous pinks
representing the Maryland Singers.
three big chrysanthemums for Savoy
& Brennan, Harry Tate's "Fishing" and
Bert Levy, a dominant spray of green
ry for Marie Fitzgibbon who hails
from Dublin and a geranium or two
for "the clown seal." The beauty about
the new Orpheum show making, its
. first appearance at the Hellg this af
ternoon is that we know 'em all except
the Maryland Singers and Harry Tate's
"Fishing," but these come with fine
records. .
Ray Samuels is part and parcel of
the Orpheum circuit. She is as regu
lar as a dividend and has not missed
Portland in four seasons. The Or
pheum, through a newspaper man in
f'hicago, several years ago discovered
Hay singing in a picture house. She
was booked over the circuit and
turne-d out to be one of the greatest
ragtime hits in vaudeville history
Itay's personality did, it. She a bub

bling over with it, her voice la melo
dious, her ways are all her own and
her gowns as a rule are the smartest
that Ray's big payday will afford.
After her first Orpheuni tour Miss
Samuels was grabbbed for the Zieg
feld "Follies," and although she was
unknown in. New York, she repeated
the hit that had made on of the great
est favorites ever taken unto itself by
the Far West. Since then she has
gone to musical comedy and vaudeville
alternately and for every Jump from
one to the other, she gets more money.
Marie Fitzgibbon also is a Portland
favorite. Miss Fitzgibbon is practi
cally the only women monologist in
big-time vaudeville. Her stories are
her own -and she "puts them over"
cleverly.
Abe and Mawruss, of the firm of
"Potash and Perlmutter." are going to
keep open shop all week at the Baker.
Albert McGovern, leading man, will
appear as Mawruss Perlmutter, while
that excellent character-artist, George
Taylor, will be his partner. Abe Potash.
The role of the girl partner, of course,
falls nicely to the lot of Ruth Gates
and I, for one, am anxious to -see her
interpretation or it- Lottie Kendall,
who in a big. statuesque type brought
the part to us and somehow, I've al
ways wanted to see a smaller, daintier
woman in the part. Now I'm to be
shown and I'm looking forward to it.
In connection with the presentation of
this play many playgoers have asked.
"Who are the originals of Potash and
Perlmutter?" "To all of which," says
Montague Glass, "I made reply that
there aren't any. Abe and Mawruss are
composite characters. Of course. Pot
ash and Perlmutter's adventures are
pure fiction, but their speech, thought
and action are not. I mean by this that
for 10 years I was present almost dally
at Dankruptcy meetings, closing of
title to real property and conferences
to the entering into or dissolution of
co-partnerships. There I had opportun
ity to see many Potashes and Perlmut
ters stripped to the skin, for there if
nothing that more effectively peels off
a man's Jacket of acquired politeness
than a good, old-fashioned scrap over
real estate or co-partnership difficulty.
The fruits of this experience are the
Potash and Perlmutter stories, and the
two plays. "Potash and Perlmutter,' and
Its sequel. 'Potash and Terlmutter In
Society.' which is now on the boards.
The speech of Potash and Ferlmut-
ter differs so subtly from the vernacu
lar of the ignorant New Yorker as to
evade a phonetic spelling, more espe
cially as it is not so much mispronun
ciation of Words as it is their inversion
in sentences which stamps Abe's and
Mawruss' dialect as foreign. They con
tinually utter such Introductory phrases
as. 'Take it from me, Mawruss,' 'Look-y
here, Abe, I want to tell you some-

thing,' and there are a hundred and one
different manerisms in their conversa
tion which can faithfully be reproduced
without misspelling a single word.
"How did these stories originate? Let
me say firstly that they originated in
the desire to give a good-humored por
tr, of one phase of business life in
. York. Secondly. I Just couldn't
help, putting on paper ail that I had
seen .and heard of Abe's and Mawruss'
pleasant eccentricities. Thirdly, short
stories have been a source of income
to me for many years, and I thought I
saw a marketable commodity in the
Potash and Perlmutter stories."
POTASH AXD PERLMUTTER' ON
Famous Play Offered by Alcazar
Players, Starting This Arternoon.
At last we have it "Potash & Perl
mutter" in stock at popular prices. The
Alcazar Players, which organization has
been offering o many big Eastern suc
cesses this season at Baker Theater,
has added the celebrated comedy
founded upon the Montague Glass
stories in the Saturday Evening Post,
to its repertoire and will open Thanks
giving week with it this afternoon.
Nearly everyone is familiar with Abe
and Mawruss, the "two Hebrew partners
in the ladies' garment manufacturing
business, and their many difficulties

and troubles, and they can be well as
sured that as a play they will find
added new spice of interest, for there
is a touch of danger in the air, a dash
of love and plenty of rich comedy, as
well as an insight into the making of
ladies' garments and of placing them
upon the market.
The two partners, despite their
wrangling, are shown to be generous i
to a fault and loyal to their people.
Troubles pile up fast. Their principal
rival has designed new goods that
make them the laughing stock of cus
tomers. Their lawyer proves a rascal.
The Russian government has their
bookkeeper arrested on a trumped-up
charge and they risk their fortunes to
save the young man.
Then enters Ruth Goldman, who de
signs a famous sacque and with her
enters sunshine and happiness. She
Is a young woman of remarkable tact
and ability and the way she takes hold
of everything and goes about straight
ening it all out is simply wonderful.
In the end she marries Perlmutter and
the bookkeeper marries Abe's daughter.
The model scene will be given special
attention and Lipman-Wolfe are to
show new fashions in coats and ladies'
with their own special models.
In addition to the regular matinees
today. Wednesday and Saturday, there
will be a special holiday matinee
Thursday.
RAY SAMUELS, ORPHEUM STAR
Portland Favorite in Vaudeville Is
Joint TIeadliner.
Ray Samuels, a special vaudeville
favorite in Portland, is Joint headliner
of the Orpheum show opening at the
Heilig Theater this afternoon for a
four days' engagement. The other
headliner is Ralph Dunbar's Maryland
Singers, the extra attractions are Bert
Savoy .and Jay Brennan In "On the
Rialto" and Harry Tate's "Fishing"
and fifth big-type act is that offered
by Bert Levy, the famous artist-entertainer.
Ray Samuels was discovered by the
Orpheum circuit singing in a moving
picture theater. She was booked out
West immediately and in her first ap
pearance in New York later she re
peated the trenendous success she won
on the Pacific Coast. Then she was en
gaged as star of Ziegfeld's "Follie.'v"
in which she was a bigger hit than
ever. - Now she is back again in
Orpheum vaudeville at a salary five
times larger than that she received
here several years ago, and reviews of
her act indicate that she has not, lost
any of her vim and magnetizes her
audiences as of yore.
Miss Samuels Is noted especially for
her talent in singing ragtime, but ehc
sings other songs, too, her "rube selec
tions being particularly popular. All
songs sung by Miss Samuels are ex
elusive, as she has first choice of
song hits published by large music
firms in New York. She carries her
own piano accompanist.
Ralph Dunbar's Maryland Singers,
filling joint headline place with Miss
Samuels, are four girl singers and
Charles Frink. an expert banjoist. The
girls are Trix Oliver and Clara
Schweinfurth, sopranos, and Ruth
Sponseller and Myrtle Glass, contral
tos. They sing Southern songs- of the
"60s, including "Old Kentucky Home.
"Listen to the Mocking Bird," "Old
fr
.1
Black Joe" and "Git on Board the Gos
pel Train." The finale is described as
an ensemble of tone and color.
Fun of the hilarious type is created
by Bert Savoy and Jay Brennan with
their comicality called "On the Rialto."
One of the comedians characterizes a
rough chorus girl and the chatter of
the two creates uproars of laughter,
At the paiace Theater
In
New York
recently Savoy and Brennan scored a
sensational hit
Harry Tate's "Fishing" is another
all-comedy act. This is an English
act on the order of Tate's "Motoring,"
a former Orpheum feature. It shows
the woes of a fisherman beset by
curious passersby, and the situations
are extremely funny. "Fishing" Is pro
grammed as "a smile, a laugh, a yell."
Bert Levy, famous artist-entertainer,
will show his latest drawings repro
duced and enlarged by a patented pro
cess. Mr. Levy is one of "the most
prominent vaudevilllans in the two-a-day
realm and in New York he is active
in movements for the uplift of vaude
ville. He was born In Australia and
went to New York after having been
employed for a time in San Francisco
by the Call. He began his career in
New Y'ork by being a designer of cos
tumes for Joe Weber and Flo Zleg
feld. Later he worked on the New
York Telegraph for three years and
while he was engaged in this news
paper work he was "discovered" for
vaudeville by Willie Hammersteln.
Remaining acts of the new Orpheum
show are Marie Fitzgibbon. "The Great
Big Story Teller," who is a favorite
here with her monologue, and "the
clown seal," a trained animal that is
eald to be able "to do everything but
talk." The Orpheum Travel Weekly
and the Orpheum concert orchestra
will round out the show.

charming girls and their work has won
them favor on the principal Eastern
circuits.
Harry Hine. "the 68th variety." Is a
royal funmaker whose material is
original and new. There is a laugh in
every line of his act, and he has a way

Vaudeville Bill.
An entirely different act Is that com
ing to the Hippodrome on the new bill.
that opens this afternoon, to run until
Thursday. This is "The Land of
Dreams," an astounding act presented
by Paul Kleist and company.
The strangest things happen in this
number and the audience simply feels
certain it is dreaming. Mr. Kleist is a
magician and a comedian as well and
the action is fast. Surprises come
along on each other's heels in amazing
fashion. It is indeed a topsy-turvy
world that is presented in this offer
ing. All will want to see It.
Another headliner on the new show
la the act that features "the Caroline
Girls." a bevy of dusky beauties from
the Carolinas. There are six attrac
tive young octoroons In this act and
the songs they sing and the dances
they introduce are entirely delightful.
They are assisted in their comedy work
by two good colored entertainers who
can also dance.
Peltier and Valerlo offer "Just Fun,"
and this act is an unusually good and
nifty act. full of comedy and entertain
ment. Both are performers of class.
The Orrln Craig Trio are comedy ac

is a clown, another a strong man, the
third is a dainty, graceful girl.

Mode," have an amusing act that is
said to keep everyone laughing while
this number is under way. There is
real comedy, in this number.
Pennington and Scott, novelty enter

they were not actually done right un
der the nose of the audience.

tniee-real photoplay, is the feature of
the film programme on the new bill.
Crelghton Hale is featured and the
story of this picture is one that will

It le certain to be impressive. Besides
there is the rathe News and a comedy.
Shows are continuous today from 1.15
to II P. M.
HAWAIIAN SINGERS IIEAI BILL
Several Other Good Acts Are Of
fered at Strand.
It took New York years to discover
what t ie Pacific Coast has known right
along, and the Pacific Coast has redis
covered it in the added glamour of New
York's approbation and the Strand
Theater in the new bill opening Sun
day presents a tine example of this
rediscovery.
Before anyone begins to Imagine that
a deep riddle is being cooked up. it
may be said right here that this musi
cal attraction tiat New York has dis
covered within the past year m the
Hawaiian troubadour: and-that Is what
the Strand has for Its patrons, as a
feature in the new bill.
Carr and Carr, Hawaiian singers and
musicians, are the mid-Pacific attrac
tion in the new bill and their reper
tory includes all the liveliest popular
songs that sprang up about tie islands
and about Waikiki Beach after New
York came out to the Panama-Pacific
Exposition and discovered the Hawai
ian and the ukelele and steel guitar in
their native haunts, and has adopted
them as the fad of the season.
There will be in the new bill also
t"ie Robey Trio, two men and a woman,
in one of the greatest skits that the
Strand has offered for many a week.
"The Bachelor Maid" is the title of a
merry farce comedy which will be pre
sented by the Edith Wilms Company.
Then there will be a singing, danc
ing, impersonating act. to balance t ie
dramatic, the sentimental and the
laughable features in the bill. Billie
Gilbert in the artist that puts it over.

the times will be Ctllle Gilbert's of
fering to the vaudeville fans, and It
is calculated to be a winner.
T;i photodrama for the new bill Is
the Red Feather feature. "The Main
spring," the scenario of which was
written by Charles Andrew McLean, the
editor of the Street & Smith publica
tions. Ben Wilson and .Francelia Bll
lington are starred in the film, and the
story sweeps through a broad circuit
of frenzied finance, love, adventute and
rivalry.
Modern setting with more stirring
qualities in the story than the strong
est of the old heroic romances: these
are the characteristics of the latest of
fering the Strand has for ttie citizens
of Photoville.
FUNNY FARCE IS COMING HERE
'It Pays to Advertise" Will Be at
Heilig December 7, 8, .
"It Pays to Advertise." which Cohan
& Harris will bring to the Heilig The
ater. Broadway at Taylor street. De
cember 7, S and P. Is as rlproarlng a
farce a.3 ever rocked the sides of its
auditors in heavy mirth. The play is
founded on an idea, but does not de
pend on a carefully planned "damn!"
or an exactly diagrammed stumble
over a chair to produce laughter.
Rodney Martin Is the son of a soap
trust magnate. He Alls the bill well,
for he is very clean-looking, and has
never done a stroke of work. About
the time his dad is getting ready to
throw him out for not working, he
falls in with a press agent, christened
Ambrose Pearle. who has a most aston
ishing knowledge of the psychology
of advertising for a man who has not
taken the course in extension. He over
whelms Rodney with statistics. "Why
do we eat liens' eggs instead of ducks'
eggs?" he asks. . "Hens' eggs are no
better than ducks' eggs, but when a
duck lays an egg. you never know It.
Now. when a hen lays an egg. she sets
up an awful racket, and e-erybody
knows It. Advertising, my boy, adver
tising!" After several amusing complications
they form a partnership and decide to
go Into the soap business', to flght the
trust, which is controlled by Rodney's
rather. "13 Soap. Unlucky for I.Mrt!" is
the name of their brand, and they ad
vertise it all over. At the end of a
month they are out about ?20.0u0 and
no one has bought any of their soap.
Their campaign was fraysed with the
idea of forcing old man Martin, the
soap king, to buy them out. But
Martin Is an old fox. and does not fall.
Just as they seem doomed to failure,
their soap begins to "pull" and they
get several big orders. However, they
have no stock, and no' way of manu
facturing any. so they are forced to
buy It from the trust. And the trust
refuses to sell. Complications follow
fast, but not too fast for the authors
to unravel them.

"Fair and Warmer." that Avery Hop
wood farce of infinite fame which ran
co long and so successfully at the. El
tinge Theater, in New York, that every
other part of the country was clamor
ing for it a good six months before Sel
wyn & Co. were able to put it on tour,
will be presented by Sclwyn & Co. at
the Heilig Theater. Broadway at Tay
lor, for the Thanksgiving attraction
next Thursday and Friday nights, No
vember Sd and December 1, with a' spe
cial mafinee Thanksgiving day and Sat
urday. It was by all odds the outstanding
success of its reason on 'Broadway,
and it had the distinction of having
been advertised during that season only
by Its audiences. . All the advertising
which was planned for It before lta
opening was left on the-shelf when
"Fair and Warmer" made such a tre
mendous success on its first night that
its second night and all nights there
after were sold out well in advance,
it was not till "Fair and Warmer" was
put on tour that it became necessary
to advertise where it would appear, and
when.
Mr. Hopwood is the author of "Seven
Days" and "Nobody's Widow," and his
achievements entitle him to first rank
as a farce-writer. In "Fair and Warm
er" he has taken Just the material he
knows best how to handle the farcical
complications into which four younf
persons of widely assorted tempera
ments and money and time enough to
sj ' take themselves seriously pitch them
selves headlong because two of their
number have been unduly imposing
upon the other two, and the latter un

I A very good husband discovers that
nis charming young wife is by way of
being a philanderer. A very adorable
wife, who lives near by, finds, at about
the same time, that her young husband
is more gay than domestic. The ill
used pair make common cause of their
misery, and vow to be wicked enough
to revenge themselves. Since they
know- so pathetically little about the
business of being wicked, they involve
th.emselves in endless woes, and have
these woes intensified by seeing their
would-be victims airily go free. The
three acts of "Fair and Warmer" have
not a slack moment. There will bo no
performance Saturday night.

STATES MAPPING SELVES
Cliurt of Country on Scale of 1 Inch
to 1 6 Miles Being Prepared.
WASHINGTON. Nov. TO. Rapid prog
ress in being made by the United States
in preparing its portion of the huge
world map which was agreed upon in
19u9 by nearly all the principal coun
tries. By international agreement th
authorities began preparing maps of
the entire surface of the earth to be
published on a scale one-millionth of
actual size, or about one inch to every
16 miles. All the maps are to be uni
form in shape and general appearance
and are to have the same conventional
signs.
To meet the popular demand in this
country for " state maps, the United
States Geological Survey, which ha.i
charge of the making of the American
section of the world map, is preparing
and publihing maps of each slate on
a larger scale than the world map sec
tions. A map of the entire United
States on that scale would cover a
sheet measuring 20 feet by 31 feet.
The Survey already has issued such
maps for 33 states, the latest being
that of Florida, which is one of the
largest of the t:erles. In compiling
the maps every available source of in
formation has been ransacked for ma
terial, and many data never before
available to the public in any form
have been procured, so that the maps
exceed in accuracy any heretofore pub
lished. The new Florida map measures
