Tire SUNDAY OKEGOXUX. PO RTLAND, JUNE 17, 1917.
v -- '
BY LEUXE CASS BAER.
SO much has been said and written
of "The Boomerang" that mere an
nouncement of the fact of Its ap
pearance at the Heilig for one week,
commencing next Sunday night, June
24, should, and from present indica
tions, will lead to an early appearance
of the S. R. O. sign in the lobby of
that theater.
Hearing praise for "The Boomerang"
im much like the traditional useleeanesa
of bearing coals to Newcastle. "The
Boomerang" Is such a good theatrical
entertainment that It can get along
without the praise, but praise is, nev
ertheless. Its unescapable - destiny.
Those who have seen this comedy by
"Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes at
the Belaeco Theater in Kov York, or
Powers' Theater, Chicago, say that Mr.
Belasco has never produced a. more
charming or delightful comedy, or
gathered together a more skilled com
pany of players than graces this play.
In "The Boomerang" the rule for
playing the love game are said to be
emartly and wittily expounded. The
comedy concerns the undoing of a
young physician who has reduced
courtship to a science, only to find his
method turned against him with tell
ing effect. The comedy is of a high
order and unlike many co-called farces
masquerading under the name of com
edy, calls for no slamming of doors,
turning over o f tables or kicking over
of chairs. The humor is natural and
spontaneous, arising from the logical,
though amusing, situations in which
the various characters find themselves.
Rarely, it is said, has such a splen
did cast of well-known principals and
popular favorites been gathered to
gether In a single play. Some of the
names that have been identified with
the success of "The Boomerang" since.
It was first produced at the Belasco
Theater. New York, 23 months ago,
and who will be seen here, are: Arthur
Byron, Martha Hedman. "Wallace Ed
dinger. Ruth Shepley. Gilbert Douglas,
Xathryn Keys. Marguerite Chaffee,
Dorothy Megrew and many others.
This will be Miss Hedman's first ap
pearance in Portland and her coming is
awaited eagerly. She is a dainty, de
mure type, of great loveliness, and has
not yet lost the delightful accent In the
flow of best New Yorkese.
"Rip Van Winkle" goes on for a
week's revival at the Baker today with
Creorge Taylor in the title role and the
incomparable comedienne Lora Rogers,
playing the wife of the old philosopher
who was driven from home to a peace
ful slumber for 20 years.
On the new bill at the Strand, open
ing today, a dancing team, Dawson and
Dawson, top the vaudeville portion of
the bill, and a big feature film. "The
Field of Honor." by Brand Whltloek,
also promises Interest.
At the Hippodrome, the Monte Carlo
Sextet, with four men and two girls,
artistic Italian musicians. In a reper
toire of song and instrumental num
bers, tops the vaudeville bill, with an
O. Henry story as the picture attrac
tion. Wide advance publicity and arrange
ments are being given the appearance
of Tinger's Midget Revue, the SO won
derful little people who make up the
new bill at Pantages opening tomor
row. This Is their first appearance in
vaudeville. They offer ten complete
acts and their show runs close to an
hour. They come directly from Ham
merstein's after an engagement in the
Eastern theaters, and their act is at
tracting sensational attention and in
terest all alo. g the circuit.
"THE BOOMERANG" IS COMIXG
Delightfully Human Comedy to Be
Presented at Hellig.
One of the seasons' most Interesting
announcements is that David Belasco's
exquisite presentation of "The Boomer
ajig." that delightfully human comedy
by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes.
which crowded the- Belasco Theater.
New York, for 13 months, and Powers'
Theater, Chicago, for eight months, will
be seen at the Heilig Theater for one
week, beginning next Sunday, June 24,
with special matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
The unique record of success
Achieved by this comedy is in part at
tributed to its delicious simplicity and
lightness and Incomparable manner In
which Mr. Belasco has cast and
staged It.
Reported to be full of bright, snappy
and breezy humor, "The Boomerang"
tells of the adventures of a lovelorn
youth, suffering all the pangs of cor
roding Jealousy. He is dragged by his
anxious mother to the office of a young
physician, to be treated for nervous
prostratton. This doctor, it seems, has
a very fine opinion of his own knowl
edge of human nature, especially with
regard to the passions of love and jeal
ousy. He undertakes to effect a cure
by putting the patient in care of a
very attractive young nurse. She, In
turn, has been very carefully coached
in the affairs of the heart, obeying the
doctor's instructions so carefully she
causes him to fall unconsciously an ar
rant victim of his own teaching. It is
a comedy filled with charm and rich In
humor, and above all else, so human.
The original New York and Chicago
cast will be seen here, not a single
change having occurred In its person
nel since the date of the comedy's first
presentation one year ago last August.

In the leading roles will be such -well-known
players as Arthur Byron, M-ar-tha
Hedman, Wallace .ddinger, Ruth

standpoint and highly entertaining at
the same time.

lage drunkard and all around good-
hearted, shiftless husband and father,
who went up into the mountains and
slept for 20 years, to return thinking

FEW JOBS TO BE CREATED
Hlgliway Department Explains Atti
tude Under Bond Issue.
SALEM. Or., June IS. (Special.)
That only a very few new positions
will be created in the State Highway
Department befcause of the passage of
the 6. 000.000 bonding act was made
plain in a statement issued by that de
partment yesterday.
The statement follows:
Since the I0.OOO.00O bonding set for rod
purposes lit c&rried. the stato Highway
rjepmrtment hm been flooded with applica
tions for position, not only from points in
Oregon. Washing-ton. California and Idaho.
but from the Kastern states as well, says
the statement of the department. From
tetters received, it aeems that New York
and other Kaatern states' road programmes
will soon be on a much smaller scale than
they have been In the past, and some of
their better engineers, having these facts
In mind, are endeavoring to locate them
selves in the West.
The fact that the t.0O0.00 Is to be,
pent almost entirely on roads that have
already been located: that It will be done
probably by contract, and the system that
Mr. Mina. State Highway Knglneer. has of
handling this manner of work practically
eliminates all high-snlarled positions In the
department. The doubling up of the duties
of the employes so that they are kept busy
during the entire working day means a
much smaller organlration than would un
der other conditions be necessary, so that
the department will have but few positions
to offer, and they are of minor Importance.
During the past month the reorganisation
of the department has been accomplished,
and It is now ready to handle all work as
faat as approved by the commission.
WOMEN'S VOTE IS DIVIDED
Pendleton School Election Will
Choose Two Board Members.
PENDLETON. Or.. June 16. (Special.)
Pendleton will vote Monday on the
election of two members of the City
School Board and on the budget of
$52,092.92.
So far there are three candidates
Mrs. Ella Terpenlng, James S. Johns
and Manuel Friedley. The women now
have one member of the Board of seven.
The petitions for the nomination of
Mr. Johns were circulated by prominent
members of the Parent-Teacher Circle
and It is assumed from that fact that
the woman vote is divided. The circle,
however, has refused to Indorse any
candidate. The retiring members of
the Board are J. T. Brown and Judge
G. W. Phelps.
The budget Is about the same as last
year and will require a 9-mill tax. As
the property qualifications have been
removed and there is some contest for
the places on the Board, a relatively
large vote is expected.
