I The marvel of the season islnave Ior more man ou years oeen an Sarah Bernhardt. She has al- "ways been in a class by herself, but this latest tour has outclassed anything she has ever done. Some of her audi ences went for the express purpose of observing how she could get along when handicapped physically. They came away still marveling, for the clever actress does not seem at all af fected by the chane-e. The plays of her repertoire have been selected with an ingenuity that suggests her own choice. In each of them, matters are arranged , so that Madame Bernhardt may fit in a chair, recline or stand so .cleverly . propped up that it seems a natural position. Even a severe cold that affected her beautiful voice did not -spoil the opening performance, and critics who commented upon the fact announced the next night that there were no traces of hoarseness In her epeech. " Is it not wonderful that a woman who is old. far from beautiful, having an artificial limb and speaking in a foreign tongue, has so much personal magnetism that she can sweep away ail barriers and bring everyone to. her feet? Certainly sie is well called "di vine," and no adjective is too extrava gant to describe her performance. "The Death Bed of Cleopatra" was one of the opening plays, and when the cur tain descended each -time- the audience went wild with enthusiasm. The play In itself was a "dramatic trifle" (said one critic), but her personality and act ing would put over anything. There has seldom been such enthusiasm any where as at the-. Empire during these gala performances. The engagement is a limited one, but it is hoped that it can be extended, if not at the Empire at come other house. Actor Give Wreath to Bernhardt. An exciting feature of Bernhardt's . opening night came after her superb portrayal of the famous Cleopatra. Rose Coghlan stepped upon the stage, pre sented a wreath to the great actress and made a little speech. She said: "Dear, dear Sarah Bernhardt, your re appearance on the boards of the United States after the ordeal which you en dured so bravely, so patiently, so hero ically, has filled our hearts with joy nd thankfulness. Many actors In this country have written to express their admiration and affection for you. who example and inspiration to them their work and art. "Among them are Minnie Maddern Fiske, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, David "VVarfield, John Drew, Margaret Anglin, Mary Shaw, E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Henrietta Crossman, Arnold Daly, Marie Tempest. Grahame Browne, Marjorie Patterson, Cyril Maude, Bev erly Sitgreaves, Gertrude Kingston, Laurette Taylor, Emma' Dunn and my self. On behalf of our profession in America, I beg you to accept this wreath as a poor token of our undying love and gratitude." As the name of each actor or actress was mentioned the house applauded appreciatively. Miss Coghlan attempt ed to kiss the hand of Madame Bern hardt, but the great actress extended her cheek instead. Altogether it was. one at the greatest nights that New York has ever known. Several Opening Important. While the few weeks before Christ mas are supposed to be poor ones in the dramatic profession, and the old time custom was to "lay off" for the week just preceding the holiday, sev eral new plays have been presented fdr approval and more are coming, even up to Christmas itself. Arnold Daly's new offering, "The Master," was perhaps one of the strongest offerings recently. It is by the author of "The Concert," in which Leo Ditrichstein starred a few seasons ago. Bahr is a famous drama tist of Vienna, whose works are well known on the other side, but America is not so familiar with his plays. The hero is a doctor who tries to build over souls as he does bodies. His philosophy is along the principles of Nietzsche and everything goes well until a problem arises in his own household in the elopement of his wife and best friend. He tries to apply the same principles that he has in other cases, but for some reason they do not work and he is a broken man. Arnold Daly has one of the best parts of his career and gives a wonderful performance. "Margery Daw" also came to town. It is an original drama in four acts by Gporge D. Parker, not the dramatiza tion of the famous Thomas B. Aldrich story. Kathlene MacDonell, who was leading woman for Robert Hilliard. has the leading role and is Mrs. Parker in private life. The story tells of a bachelor who lives alone and 'is rather a woman-hater. To his home comes his beautiful ward from her convent school. Of course he falls in love with her and she sets her heart upon a good-for-nothing scamp, but when it develops that she is an illegitimate child he de parts and she finds consolation in the loyalty of the guardian, and eventually they marry. Then the villain returns and tries to break up the happy home, but Margery discovers that it is her husband that she has loved all the time. Frederick Perry is the guardian and George Probert the villain. "Her Soldier Boy" atso came to town with Clifton Crawford and Adele Row land in the leading roles, with beauti ful Beth Lydy as one of the principals. Emmerich Kalman. who wrote "Sari" and "Miss Springtime" (the music only), and Rida Johnson Young, whose "Cap tain Kidd. Jr.," is making such a suc cess at the Cohan and Harris, revised the book and lyrics of Victor Leon, who wrote "The Merry Widow." The Shuberts have given a fine supporting cast and there are many tuneful num bers. It is a most entertaining show and one that should please Broadway for some time to come. With each new show that comes into town, some other often equally good must move along. So, "Arms .and the Girl" had to move out temporarily to make room for Arnold Daly, and now two more Important "goings" are an nounced. They are the farewells of "Seven Chances,", the clever Belasco production, whose departure has been delayed several times, and "Pollyanna." "Seven Chances" will give way to Fran ces Starr in "The Little Lady in Blue" and "Pollyanna" will be "glad" (per haps!) to give way to Elsie Ferguson in "Shirley Kaye." The latter, like the Frabness Starr show, has been trying to creep into New York these many weeks. In "Shirley Kaye" will be seen Lee Baker, William Holden, Mrs. Jac ques Martin, George Backus, Kitty Brown, Ronald Byram, Corinne Barker, Victor Benoit, Ethel Winthrop, Doug las Patterson, Helen Ersklne and Will iam Lennox. Among the "Little Lady in Blue" company will be Jerome Pat rick, who was Miss Starr's leading man in "Marie Odile." New PlaT to Appear. The next Frohman production will be Maude Adams' new Barrie play, "A Kiss for Cinderella," which will dis place Sarah Bernhardt soon. It is prob able that she will play also some of her old roles during the New York engage ment, as there are so many who wish to see "The Little Minister" again. It is a coincidence that she succeeds Bern hardt, because they both played "L'Aiglon" at the same time, though on different sides of the Atlantic. The Knickerbocker Theater, almost next door to the Empire and regarded sometimes as a Frohman house because it has taken care of so many of their shows, has had as its. tenant for a long time "The Music Master." with David Warfield. One after another dates have been set for its moving on, but it seems impossible to get away. Out of town engagements have been postponed sev eral times, and this fact made it neces sary to do something at once.. So Mr. Belasco. wise man mat tie is, 'conceived the idea of extending the engagement once more and substituting "Seven Chances" for the "Music Master" on the road. Philadelphia will be the first city visited by "Seven Chances" and has been promised the first out-of-town date for "The Music Master." whose engagement has been extended until February. One after another the big theatrical managers have been swinging into the motion picture business. George Cohan a few weeks ago announced that his hat was in the ring and now the Sel wyns have joined the procession. Ed gar Selwyn's two successes. "The Arab" and "Rolling Stones," have already been filmed, but so far nothing of Margaret Mayo's has appeared 'upon the screen. Whether or not she will -use "Twin Beds" will be announced later. It is such a good road attraction that it would seem a shame to lose thfese fine royalties. With the Selwyns will be associated two wizards of the pro fession, Arthur Hopkins, noted as one of the foremost theatrical producers ot the day, and Samuel Goldfish, recently chairman of the board of directors of the Famous Play ers-Lasky Companies and a man who knows the moving pic ture business from beginning to end. The company will produce both in New York and California, and Interesting announcements may be expected soon. The Selwyns have many successes to their credit and it is by far one. of the most interesting bits of news that the theatrical world has had in some time. Scenario Writing Easy to Do.

"THE ADVENTURES OF OLIVER TWIST" MADE VIVID AND LASTING IN MOVING PICTURES Characters in Dickens' Famous Novel as Portrayed by George Cruikshank, Well-Known Illustrator, Are Faithfully Followed by Actors Taking Tart in Film Production. rr .aw- vPJ i Y " ''- II"' k "y t-'fy Oft v . Ot-A V. , . 4 I .. -X - . y Wilton . " T. T .y. M . . V THE characters which Charles Dick ens described in his novels have become immortal. Some of them are used today as descriptive ad jectives. Fagin, the teacher of thievery 4n "Oliver Twist," furnishes an adjec tive to the English dictionaries. It will be remembered that "at the time of the writing of "Oliver Twist," which first appeared in Bentley'e mag azine in 1837 and 1838, George Cruik shank, the well-known illustrator, made his immortal drawings of the characters which Dickens had so mar velously described. There are many who will recall the great controversy which arose at the time of Dickens' death, when Cruikshank declared that it was his drawings of the characters for . the original story, "The Adven tures of Oliver Twist," which inspired Dickens to complete the novel in its present form. This claim was indig nantly denied by the admirers and supporters of the author. Whether the claims of Cruikshank were true or not is of little concern to us today, but the controversy Itself is of interest fn view of the fact that "Oliver Twist" has been adapted as a motion picture by the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company for the Para STATE'S HORTICULTURAL WORK ADVANCED BY EARLY PIONEER Dr. James R. Card well. First President of Oregon Horticultural Society. Said to Have Been Man Enthusiastic Over Possibilities of Oregon -rOOD RIVER. Or., Dec. 16. (Spe- Mclal.) 'With heads bowed in reverent 'memory, the members of the Oregon State Horticultural So ciety listened Monday to a paper on the life of the late Dr. James R. Card wen, first president of the organisa tion. The paper, which follows, was prepared and read by H. 1L William son, .of Portland, one of Dr. Cardwell's associates in organizing- and conduct ing the progress of the Oregon horti cultural organization, the pioneer so ciety of its kind in the Northwest. The text follows: The Oregon State Horticultural Society must record the los of lie most honored member. Dr. James R. Cardwell. who was its first pre.tU-nt. continued to be Ha pres ident for lis years, and who was therefore, until his death, Ua honored honorary presl- deDr Cardwell was born at Sprlnfffield. Hi September 11, lsao. His parents were de scendants of prominent Virginia families. Hi- father was a first cousin of Llenem. Robert K. I-ee. He rew up in a commu nity of great Intellectual activity. In the decade Immediately preceding the Civil War SprtnKfleld. III., was more than remarkable for the lance number of its eitlxena who were men of diMinicuinhed ability. Among them were Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. DouKlas. Naturally the youth. James H. Cardwell, was stirred with ambition and desire to acquire a thorouKh education. His father was unable, financially, to send him to college, but he did attend for a time Illinois College at Jacksonville, boardlna; himself, as he has told us, at an expense of 23 cents a week. It was his purpose, however, to gain a degree from Harrd or Yale, and in order to obtain the funds required to attend one of these Institutions he bean while yet a minor the practice of dentistry at Springfield. Parent Were Itoneera. He roon found that he had Inherited from his maternal grandparents a taste for hor ticulture, and when not busy In his office he was learning to bud, graft and care for his trees and plants. His parents and fore father had been pioneers of Illinois. Ten nessee aud Virginia, and there was nat urally within him an easily-developed pio neering tendency. This tendency waa soon developed. His mother's sister. Mrs. Hamilton Camp bell, wat one of Jason I.ee' a pioneer band of Methodist missionaries In Oregon. Her letters were enthusiastic In praise of the Oregon cl'mate, scenery and productivity of the soil. His. uncle. B. K. Blddle, was a California 'Forty-niner,' and returned to Illinois by nay of Oregon and saw such great oosihillties for tne fruit industry here that he asked Dr. Cardwell to join him In establishing a nursery here. Dr. Card well had heard and rtad of the success of Henderson Luel ting's notable enterprise In bringing a living and growing nursery stock across the plains. His Imagination had been fired by this and by the glowing ac counts of Oregon given by his aunt and uncle, and he readily accepted, at the age of -1. his uncle's proposition and com menced preparation for the undertaking. Flood Sweep Away Tree, In the Spring of 1S5-I, at the age of 22 years, he started a-ro the plains with wagon load of grow In g trees and plants, of the best varieties that could be obtained In llinoiv. Five months after starting, and when the promised land waa almost In 8lht, the wagon up sot on a steep bank mount programme, with Marie Doro in the title role, and that the Cruik shank drawings have been used as the models in building the backgrounds for the action of the play. Going still further in their determination to pre serve as far as possible the spirit of the original, tho producers have ac tually reproduced on the screen exact replicas of some of the situations which were depicted in the original illustrations, and every player in the cast, in making up for his or her role, has approached as nearly as possble the exact lines of the drawing. Though "Oliver Twist" will live eternally as a story and has been a success as a play Marie Doro herself starred in the title role in the great revival of the play at the New A m- nf the Snake River and the precious load f trees and plants were swept away by the swift current of that river. The ohock of the disappointment may be Imagined. Dr. Cardwell came to Portland and resumed the practice of his profession, u ith offices at Portland and other points in the Will amette Valley. in 1 s5j he bought a tract of land at Corvallls. where he had a branch office, and propagated and planted fruit treea and berries of many kinds and varieties. By issji his practice at Portland had grown so that it took ai: of his time and he sold his orchards at Corvallls, but S'Hjn bought a tract of land a few miles from Portland, and in 170 planted on it an orchard of ap ples, pears and peaches. For the next ! years, as a leading dentist of Portland, his profession brought him a large income, the greater part of which he expended in buy ing and clearing land, planting trees, building- fruit dryers or evaporators and in mak ing all kinds of horticultural experiments. hlle his horticultural work and experi mentation did not prove profitable to him In a financial way, it was of great value to others. The work he did in introducing the Industry of dried prunes in Oregon hastened by a number of years the de velopment of Oregon's great prune Indus- Financial Lees Io Not Daunt. The loss of money in his fruit-growing undertakings never discouraged Dr. Card well. Financial failure stimulated him to undertake something new in his horticul tural efforts. His natural love for horti culture, his enthusiastic belief In a great horticultural future for Oregon, and his de termination to, do all in hie power to bring about that great future remained with him as long as he lived. Dr. Cardwell was active In everv move ment for the promotion of horticulture. In 1W8 he joined with other horticultural en thusiasts In organizing the Multnomah t.-uttgrowera Society. This and one or two other similar societies were the forerunners of tho Oregon State Horticultural ocb-ty which was organised In Portland In 1JS.. At the organisation of the society Dr. Card well waa elected president on the motion of J H. Lambert. During the years when Dr. Cardwell was president of the eociety his time was very valuable in a financial way, but he waa always ready to tnuke financial sacrifice Involved In attending the meetings of the organization, even when I they were held quarterly, as was the case during a considerable portion of the time while he waa president. ' War Urged on Pewta. In Its earlier years Oregon was com paratively free from lnstect pests and plant diseases. With the coming of the railroads theye peats and diseases came and flourished. The State Horticultural Society saw the need of legislative aid In checking the spread and ravages of such pests and diseases and prepared the law, which created the State Bi ard of Horticulture. Dr. Cardwell took such an active part In this work that he Is known as the father of the Hoard, but the enactment of the law creating the Board could not have been brought about at that time had It not been for another great frb.nd of - horticulture, E. L. Smith, then speaker of the House of Representatives. The bill was saved from final defeat only through the vigorous and effective work of Mr. Smith. Dr. Cardwell was appointed first presi dent of the State Board of Horticulture and continued to serve as such for ten years. In 1S'.3 he a as appointed Horticultural Com missioner for Oregon te the Columbian Kx pusition at Chicago, and given an appro priation of f 7-VH to make an exhibit. The wonderful success of Oragon's horticultural sterdam Theater, in New York, dur ing the Dickens Centenary in 1912 nevertheless, the reality of tho author's descriptions of the character depend upon the reader's imaginative powers, the Cruikshank drawings limned only the high lights of the story, and tho stage productions censed with the fall of the curtain. With the motion pic ture version of the story, the charac ters are brought to life and experience a new Immortality, for. once enacted before the camera, they are un changeable. exhibit at that exposition has not been for gotten, and when it was o er 1 r. "ardwell turn, d bark into the stute Treasury an unexpended balance of -.. Tree Culture Interests Him. Dr. Cardwell's interest In horticulture was not confined to fruits. He early interested himself in the Indigenous tre. of Oregon, and called attention In published articles to our wealth of coniferous trees consider ing them from both commercial and esthetic standpoints. He planted and carefully eared for at his home beautiful tr-e. shrubs and plants of many kinds, givlnr the preference to those which are n:itivs of Ores on. Ills love of trees, ehrubs nnd plants was so great that when, after t he terrible acci dent which not one man in a hundred of h Is age would have survived, he became able to walk feebly on cruteht-s. he f'und his way out to work among bis beloved plants. It nRVf him uret pN-asure to share his horticultural treasures with others. Hut a few days before his death he made with his own hand cut tines from his choicest rose bushes for.a friend who called on him. Two types' of men nr essential to progress In horticulture, as well as to prop rests In everything ele men of vision, faith and enthusiasm, and men who apply to their work practical business methods. Without the man of a business point of view and practical commercial methods, success is not poslMe. The men of vision, are, however, th animating spirit. If they disappear, the community or industry whieh has lost them will ere long be fitly described as dead. Disappoint mcntrt Are Hnrvived. Dr. Cardwell's great service to Oregon h irtir ul lure was due to his being In horti culture ever the amateur, the enthusiast, the man of vision whose faith In Oregon's great horticultural future survived every personal disappointment and dominated him to the end. Throushout his long life in Oregon he contributed more tban any other one man to the maintenance of its horticultural spirit. From the viewpoint of the man who never d-e anything until it has been shown that it pays to do it Dr. Cardwell was nearly or quite a lailure in his horticulture?! work. This sort of failure has been typical of men who point out the way to others. The mem ory of such a man remains when those who have merely succecd.-d in financially enrich ing themselves are forgotten.
