ROUSERS for "Women" on the
American stage have been dis
played most successfully by
the Joyous Mitzi (Hajos), in "Pom
Pom," by the English Vesta Tilley,
Delia Fox and others, but to the first
named only have sober-minded critics
felt it worth while to devote space to
praise them for taking on the charac
teristics of the male sex.
The observer might almost expect
Mitzi to pull out angle worms, a brok-en-bladed
knife or cigarette papers
from the. pockets provided for her by
Henry W. Savage, during much of the
four scenes Of "Pom-Pom." They seem
to be that kind of trousers. And yet,
the delicious femininity of Mitzi shown
in other scenes of "Pom-Pom," "Sari"
and "The Spring Maid" is shown to be
the real nature of the girlish star, and
her greatest love to be that of the rest
of her sex for clothes of the daintiest,
and beautiful things around her.
One of the striking features well re
membered by those who saw Mitzi in
Pom-Pom" during its long New York
stay is an Apache dance. For all its
humor, and its gay burlesque on re
peated turns of the dance, it has im
pressed observers as being a close imi
tation of the real thing as po-esented in
the toughest slums of Paris.
The Apache dance, in all the savag
ery of its native worst, was the first
thing -Mitzi used her influence in Paris
to go to and study, after the original
story from which Anne Caldwell wrote
Pom-Pom," was told to her, for its
use in the play was shown to be highly
necessary.
Henry W. Savage gave orders, it Is
told, that the rehearsals for the Apacha
dance should be entirely under Mitzl s
direction.
"Pom-Pom," with Mitzi, will be the
attraction at the Heilig Theater Janu-.

PROBLEM OF DEFECTIVE CHILD
IS DIFFICULT ONE TO SOLVE
Roy Van Tuyl, Who Recently Ran Away From Boys Training School at
Chehalis, Is Said to Be Moron Who Cannot Be Cured.
i
ri
BY GEORGE A. THACHER. ,
OY VAN TUYL, who recently ran
away from the Boys' Training
School at Chehalis, Wash., and
with a harrowing story of mistreat
ment, dungeons and- insufficient food
aroused sympathy here, achieved con
siderable publicity and started an of
ficial investigation of the Institution
from which he was a fugitive, repre
sents a class that is always present in
such institutions. His is a hopeless
case.'
He Is now 5 years old and has been
in the Training School for more than
four years. He has been dishonest,
which Is not fatal in a young boy; he
lacks the ability to tell the plain facts
of any occurrence, which is a great
misfortune, and he is mentally weak,
which Is hopeless. He is a persistent
runaway, having disappeared eight
times in tour years. He wears a red
suit, so that he can be watched more
eusily, because the boys at this school
have a great deal of freedom.
His teacher, when 1 pinned him
down, admitted that Roy could only
pass a fifth-grade examination. This,
in view of his age and his conduct.
indicates mental defect.
Youth's Story Convinces.
Roy ran away in hte red suit and
stole a ride in a boxcar to Portland
less than two weeks ago. He was
picked up by the police, but he told
such a moving tale of dungeons and
punishment and starvation at the Che
halis school that newspaper reporters
made much of him and hard-headed
detectives were made indignant. Roy
s unconsciously enough of an artist to
allow his story to be extracted from
htm, and there Is a very convincing
touch in his manner.
He was romancing, however, about
the dungeon, for there is none. I had
a private conversation with him, and
he admitted the fact, but he explained
that there used to be one several years
ago. So with the rest of his tale of
woe. It was intended to create sym
pathy, and it did,' but it was not true.
Roy is repentant now, and wrote to
Mrs. Sheafe, wife of the superintendent
of the school and his assistant in the
work, that Jiedid not know what he
did it for. He promised good behavior,
but his promises are recognized as
worthless.
Of course, he has no idea of the
trouble he stirred up by his story.
After he was apprehended, in this cif
and his tale published, indignant wom
en wrote and telephoned both to the
Ctiief o .Police and to the superta- i
tendent of the school. One blamed tha
police for taking him to the station
after learning of his sufferings. Tlia
Chief was blamed for letting the boy
go back. A family in Portland offered
to take Roy and give him a home and.
an education. One woman sent a.
threatening letter to the superintend
ent. She said, "It does not seem pos
sible that such cruelty could exist in
modern times," and asks if such "Hun
like treatment is reserved for defense
less children."
Inquiry Is Made.
The Board of Control made inquiry
into the matter, and not even an office
seeker could have aroused public sent!-.
ment more effectively than did this
high-grade moron, who is safe only in
an institution. -
Roy Van Tuyl is a public character,
now that he has unconsciously tried to
make history, and the question is what
to do with him. Dr. Sheafe, the school
superintendent, says he does not pun-,
ish him. but merely keeps him under
observation.
It would be difficult to confine him
in an institution for the feeble minded,
because he is a high-grade and would
pass in a crowd. At the same time
he is dangerous. A boy who can mis
lead as many people as Roy has done at
15 promises lots of trouble for the
state by the time he is 10 or 15 years
older. N'o improvement is possible be
cause the defect is congenital.
I'roMrni Is Difficult.
This is the problem of the defective
delinquent who may cost the state
large sums and perhaps valuable lives.
and who. if he leaves children, may
curse future generations. However,
we are a sentimental people and wo
hesitate to put a defective boy or girl
in an institution. He would have to
associate with low-grade defectives,
perhaps. Such associations would be
very unpleasant for us; therefore we
allow feeble-minded young women to
roam the streets and contribute money
to support their defective babies, and
when Roy van Tuyl tells a pathetic
story we get indignant, without con
sidering the source.
In response to a suggestion made to
The Oregonlan relative to Roy van
Tuyl's story, I visited the school at the
invitation of Dr. George A. Sheafe, the
superintendent. Dr. Sheafe was for
merly chaplain at Walla Walla Peni
tentiary and is a man of humanitarian
views, who believes that to reform a
person of delinquent tendencies it is
desirable to catch him young. Mis.
