In the most exquisite fabrics and In the smartest styles shown In many seasons. A CLEVER paragTapher once re marked facetiously that John Drew's company was . the late Charles Frohman's Incubator for stars. Facts would seem to bear out this rather whimsical statement, for from the organizations with which Mr. Frohman always surrounded his dis tinguished star came a group of players whose names have sparkled In eleotrlo lights over every Important playhouse from New York to San Francisco. Foremost among those who have aohleved their first successes with Mr. Drew, whom, by the way, we. are to see In the new comedy, "Major Pen dennls," at the Helllg Theater for four performances, beginning Monday night. May 28, Is Miss Maude Adams. The lat-' ter first won for herself the follow ing' which has remained loyal to her ver slnoe, playing the role of Dor othy In "Rosemary," In a revival of which Mr. Drew was seen two seasons ago. It waa the enthusiasm marking her portrayal of Dorothy that prompt ed Mr. Frohman to promote Miss Ad ams to the position she has graced ever since, beginning with the memo rable "Little Minister" and continuing tip to her present charming performance in "A Kiss for Cinderella," both from the pen of the same gifted man. Sir James M. Barrie. In a role containing the first lines ever entrusted to her. Miss Ethel Barry more, now perhaps the best-beloved of all American actresses, made her first appearance on the New York stage in the company of Mr. Drew, her uncle. Miss Barrymore essayed several small roles In support of Mr. Drew before pro moted to stardom in the well-recalled "Captain Jinks." Miss Blllle Burke portrayed leading feminine roles with Mr. Drew for sev eral seasons before Mr. Frohman ele vated her to stellar honors. Margaret Illlngton. with Mr. Drew in "His House in Order." met with the success which eventually brought about her promo tion to large type and electric signs. To recount here a list of the names of other players who have appeared with the actor during the time he and Mr. Frohman were associated would be to print an endless list of promi nent. names notably connected with al most every important theatrical ven ture for seasons past. In his present company appearing with him In "Major Pendennis" will be found several youthful players exhibiting quite as much" promise as some of their famous predecessors. Of these, the most prom inent perhaps Is Helen MacKellar, who portrays Laura BeU In the Thackeray story, and for whom a bright stage fu ture has been predicted. THIRD OREGON IS ORDERED TO RECRUIT UP TO WAR STRENGTH Almost Every Company Has Enough Men on Waiting List to Fin Up Its Ranks Guardsmen Work to Save Vancouver Span. THE War Department has ordered the Third Oregon to recruit up to full war strength. Happy are the offloera of the organization, for this time they are sure there will be no "stop recruiting" orders like those of last week. There will not be room for more than 75 or 100 recruits tn the Third Oregon, and many of- the company commanders who have lost men dis charged for dependency or to attend the Officers' Keserve training camps, have waiting lists. Major Marlus B. Marcellus has been designated as recruiting officer by Captain William R. Logus, regimental adjutant. All of the recruits must appear at headquarters and report to Captain Logus, who will direct them to Major Marcellus. The Oregon regiment will not have as hard a time reaching full war strength as the Washington and Idaho regiments. Many Portland boys have been holding back from recruiting in the regular Army, preferring to be attached with the home organization. Many of them have been anxious since the orders came delaying the recruit ing of the Third, for they feared that, after all, they would be forced to join the regular Army, which they would rather have done than to wait until they were conscripted. At that, they will have to show speed, for several of the company commanders got busy on the telephone yesterday as soon as the order was received and told the men to report at once. Soldiers Work to Save Bridge. If the Vancouver approach to the Interstate bridge is to be saved from further damage by high water, it will be by the soldiers of the Third Ore gon, by their clever sandbag juggling that shooed the swirling flood wa ters of the Columbia River from .the "it-looks-flne-f rom - the-top" concrete approach. Expert Government engi neers who saw how the "lt-looks-fine--from-the-top" approach was construct ed are a bit puzzled over the con struction. Graham Steel, the local engineer for the company, when he saw the sand running out, called - upon Lieutenant Colonel Abrams for help. In the ab sence of Colonel May, Colonel AbramB at once ordered out a detachment of 25 men from 'Company L, 25 from Company F and ten from Company C. The first detachment went on the Job at 2 o'clock and stayed until 5 P. M. They were relieved by another de tachment, and from 5 until 10 the 60 soldiers continued filling and piling sandbags, tier on tier, when at 10 o'clock still another detachment of 60 men, this time a. detachment from the Machine Gun Company, worked until 12 A. M. To show that the Third Oregon can do other things than Mexican border patrol duty and other things necessary for good soldiers to do, Colonel Abrams placed Lieutenant J. Waldo Finn, of Company L, in charge of the detail. The Job of rescuing bridges was ld stuff to Lieutenant Finn. In private life he is road supervisor of- Polk County. Lieutenant Finn was on the Job every minute, and the combination of Llentenant Finn, Mr. Steel and the Third Oregon soldiers made the old Columbia River stop, look and listen. Just how much damage ; the high water has cost and who will pay the damage is a question yet to be solved. While the Clarke and Multnomah of ficials are trying to fix the blame, would it be impertinent to Inquire who will pay the soldiers for the shoes and odd clothing ruined by water and sand? Such soldier equip ment is furnished the soldier. It is true; but. Just the same, all clothing and shoes are charged to the soldiers' clothing allowance and at the end of the year. If he has overdrawn his al lowance, he must foot the bill out of his 30 per. Retired Sergeant to Wed. There Is still another war bride in prospect. She is Miss Josephine Nel son. The bridegroom-to-be is Qua tayus H. Skinner, battalion sergeant major, retired. Serseant Skinner fin ished his three-year service with the -xaird Oregon yesterday and the mem bers of the headquarters staff bade him a sorrowful good-bye. for he was a prime favorite with the staff. No date has been set for the wedding, but Sergeant Skinner, as coy as Words worth's little maiden, admitted the big event would take place some day this coming week. Although Sergeant Skinner automat ically is furloughed to the reserve MISS OF 13 WINNER OK DE CLAMATORY CONTESTS AT ABERDEEN. i ' " J I r - ' I , " ' - N I Ruth H11L ABERDEEN, Wash., May 19.

Newly-wed Is Victim of Joke Trouble broke fast and furious for Private Orin E. Orinrod last Thurs day. That was the day he took Miss Florence A. Reggan as his war bride. Private Orinrod no sooner appeared before a minister and was married than a corporal's guard appeared on the scene Just as the happy bridal pair came out of the minister's house. The bride registered tears and the bridegroom a world drama of anger. But he was a soldier. When told he was under arrest. Private Grlnrod used language but returned to camp with the arresting squad. The whole thing waa a plot framed by his com rades in the Supply Company. The plot was to keep bride and bride groom separated for a day. Private Grlnrod was delivered a prisoner to Captain Llbby. In the meantime Lieu tenant Ralph Spauldlng thought it wasn't right to roast a man on earth and future, too, so he called upon Captain Llbby and the escape of the prisoner was accomplished.
