BT LEONE CAS3 BAER.
T EE PEARL, manager of
the
Baker Stock company, has re
turned from visiting a dozen or
more other managers of stock the
aters along the Pacific coast and in
the northwest and Canada. In some
Instances the companies are already
rehearsing and others, like the Baker,
will open the first week in Septem
ber. "I found a genuine effort on
the part of managing employers to
get together with the actor employe
for the mutually wise preservation of
a workable plan for co-operation this
year," sa.id Mr. PearL "There have
been many feverish and excited 'offi
cial statements," so called, and gos
sip is rife concernnlg managers' dif
ficulties and the status of the player
as now affected by organized labor
affiliations. Whatever may bo the
difficulties of touring companies and
Broadway producers, I find there is
no bitterness in the merry war going
on out here In the theatrical camp,
insofar as the stock companies are
concerned, and that the relation of
the stock manager to the stock actor
is still one of friendliness and good
sense. Many and certain mutual con
cessions and agreements make this
footing possible.
The success of every city of the
size of Portland depends to a greater
or less extent upon the success of
its theaters and amusements," says
Mr. Pearl. "Merchants, hotel men,
manufacturers, bankers and large
commercial employers in every city
of size declare that the prosper
ity of the theater is essential to both
the happiness and the business suc
cess of all cities and towns. We of
the Baker theater are optimistic and
are going ahead, Just as in other
years. Our company members for
the new season are arriving in Port
land and will take up their residences
here, becoming Integral part3 of the
public, s-pending the money they earn
right here in Portland- Stock play
ers are essentially home people, and
audiences come to know and admire
their regular weekly entertainers.
The social side of the contact with
womanly women and- worth-while
men of the stag has a positive value
in a city like Portland, and our play
ers are chosen with a thought of
their personal and social qualifica
tions, along with their professional
abilities."
The Baker is opening for the sea
son on September 4 in "The Won
derful Thing."
The personnel of the new company
at the Baker includes -the names of
some of the best-liked players of for
mer seasons and several names en
tirely new to Portlanders. Among
these is the leading woman, Marjorie
Foster, whose work is especially well
known through the cast, where she
has played extensive engagements

his tenth season as stage director of
the Baker company. His first aid this
season is Lawrence Keating, whose
father, L. C. Keating of Keating &
Flood, is one of the best-known the
atrical men on the Pacific coast.
Lora Rogers, a favorite here, re
turns to play her comedy character
roles and grand dames and George P.
Webster is another whose returning
will be welcomed. Leo Lijidhard, Wil
liam (Billy) Lee and Irving Kennedy
all will be again with the Baker
players.
Two of the new players are Ran
kin Mansfield, who will play juvenile
roles, and George B. Klbbee. who is a
character comedian. Jane Gilroy will
be the second woman and Mayo
Methot, whose work last year steadily
increased in excellence, and whose
youth and gifts have made her one
of the most beloved of an array of
Baker ingenues, again will fill that
position with the Baker players. Vir
ginia Richmond has been added as
the fifth woman.
Out In Chicago, before the Tri-State
Dramatic league, F. Ziegfeld Jr. es
sayed to tell the members what's
wrong with the good old drama.
' "The most important function of a
theatrical producer," he declared, "is
to keep faith with the pubiic. The
Follies' in New York is playing to
capacity business at $5 a seat. People
know I give them the best entertain
ment possible and they prefer to pay
$5 for the real thing rather than a
cheaper price for a spurious imita
tion. Actors' salaries must come down
before there can be a change in prices.
I am at present paying seven per
formers $1000 a week."

by Hawaiians centuries before avia

known as "lele pali" or "Jumping
from the cliff." It was played up
to 100 years or so ago by natives
who lived near groves of loulu palms
near high cliffs overlooking the
ocean.
Details of the game have been
obtained by William J. Coehlo. i
former newspaper editor now an offi
cer of the Haleona Alii Hawaii
(House of Chiefs). This is what he
says of the vanished sport:
The game was played with huge
contrivances built of light but stout
sticks and overwoven with loulu
palm leaves. Several of these af
fairs were made ready, the Hawaiian
viators - took their seats and were
pushed over towering cliffs at the
same time. The adventurer who re
mained longest in the air was the
winner.
Often through carelessness or ex
citement a "plane would execute a
nose dive s'milar to those of 20th
century airplanes. The only damage
was the loss of the game.
Old Hawaiians say that their fly
ing men were exceptionally skillful.

their crude appliances was to shift
their weight to maintain balance

BT EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. (Special.)
While this is the season of
rest and vacation for many,
there is one spot in the New England
states where there is more serious
work accomplished than In any other
place of like size in the United States.
That spot is Peterborough, N. H., or
to be more exact it is the MacDowell
association colony, which has been
Brought into magnificent working
order by Mrs. MacDowell. She has
created something which will be as
great a monument to herself as to
the illustrious husband in whose
memory she has done it.
This colony has gained a reputation
far and wide, but no one who has
not partake of its marvelous op
portunities can realize what it
actually represents. In the heart of
the beautiful New Hampshire woods,
in the face of Monadnock, dearly be
loved mountain of all New Eng
landeis, the MacDowell colony flour
ishes summer after summer, bring
ing respite from the harships of work
in the city for those who depend upon
their brains, creative imaginations
and quiet for the results which will
brirog honor not only to themselves,
but which will give America the place
it deserves in the cultural world.
JHard Work Done.
That this is no place for rest need
not be told again, for the story of
how the MacDowell association came
to be does not need the re-telling at
this late date. The work is almost
unbroken from early morn until sun
down,, the colonists dispersing after
the morning meal Into the many di
rections leading to the splendid little
studios in the woods, each sufficiently
removed from the other to be
thoroughly isolated. -That the day
should have no break, lunch is left
at each door at noon, and each studio
Is so furnished that the occupant has
a luxurious couch for the rest that
he or she may need, and there are
always the wonderful woods into
which and "through which one may
wander when the mind or the eyes
grow a bit wearied.
Those who come hardly need in
spiration, for most of them have un
limited work that must be finished
with delicacy of touch and away from
sordid influences, but for those whose
Imaginations are in need of the least
warmth, the slightest fanning, of
coals into flames, there are count
less corners and things conducive
to daydreams which resolve them
selves into tangible form.
Noted Person Present.
Taking into consideration the
operating costs and the size of liv
ing accommodations, it is a great
privilege to be permitted to spend
a season In this paradise for crea
tive workers, where eome of the most
noted personages of the world have
been found this summer. Musical art
is represented by only four or live
i
composers this year, but when one
may head the list with Mrs. H.-H. A.
Beach, it Is significant of the quality
of workers at the MacDowell colony.
This great woman has been an incen
tive to many for the greater part of
her life, and surely the workers of
the MacDowell colony have had some
of their greatest inspiration from her
presence, the earnestness of her work
and the simplicity of her life.
Among the many manuscripts she
is taking back to her home in Hills
boro are two that she captured from
the hermit thrush who, attracted to
her studio window, gave her some
of the loveliest motives which she
embodied into sketches called "Morn
ing" and "Evening." Mrs. Beach
knows how-to listen to the music of
nature, and she knows tiow to pass
it on to others. One of the greatest
delights offered the colonists and
their guests this season was the
afternoon in Mrs. Beach's studio when
she played the new works written
in Peterborough this summer, some of
the favorites requested by her
audience, and she was gracious
enough to play a new prelude for the
left hand written for her by Marion
Bauer, also a MacDowell colonist.
Mrs. Beach has been occupying the
one studio planned for events of this
nature, as there is a Steinway grand
piano and the furnishings are more
elaborate. This is known as the
Regina Watson studio, presented to
the colony by Miss Cornelia G. Lunt,
Mrs. Frederic S. Coolidge, Mrs. Will
lam Loomts, Mrs. J. Rosenwald, Mrs
A. A. Sprague, Miss Margaret Lunt
Moulton, Mr. August Blum and Mr.
Clarence M. Woolley.
Marion Bauer is again in the Pine
studio, where she is devoting her
self to composition which to a great
extent is denied her during her days
of busy teaching in winter. "The
Epitaph of a Butterfly," published by
Ditson; "Night in the Woods" and
"Roses Breathe in the Night," pub
lished by Schlrmer within the last
few weeks, were among her works
of last summer at Peterborough,
while Arthur P. Schmidt is bringing
out this fall a number of songs and
piano pieces also of that period. She
is devoting herself largely to writing
for the piano this summer and to re
vising and editing the sonata for
piano and violin written last season

indicates nestles among the pines.

young composer of Los Angeles, I

piano works with which she, has wo
a distinguished place ln'a very shor
time. It is not too great a claim t
say that Miss Dillon has written som
of the most virile and finest things
that have been composed for piano I
America, and, it may be remembered
that she was represented on the pro
gramme of American compositions
played by Josef Hofmann. and that
Percy Grainger and Edwin Hughea
have placed numbers by Miss Dillon
consistently on their programmes for
the sheer -merit and charm of these
works.
Mable Daniels, another well-known
and highly talented composer of Bos
ton, is due to spend September in
work at the MacDowell colony.
Among noteworty works by Miss
Daniels may be mentioned the first
erformance of "Allegretto for
trings From Bal Suite," by the
Boston Symphony orchestra. May 25
nd June 1, 1920, and two songs to
oems by William Dean Howells,
given at the Howells" memorial meet-
ng, Boston Authors club. Novem
ber 19.
Besides the several women com
posers in Peterborough this season
is Arthur Nevln, who is part and
parcel of this life. In addition to the
music he is preparing for his pub
lishers, he is planning for the series
of symphony- concerts that he is to
give in Memphis, Tenn., next fall, re
hearsals for which will be under way
early in September.
Poet Among Residents.
Another standby of the colony la
Edwin Arlington Robinson, one of
the most noted of the poets of the
day. Mr. Robinson spends hardly less
than five months In the most steady
sort of writing. Padralc Colum, an
other noted poet, and his wife Molly
Colum, also a writer, are among the
unusually busy ones preparing fall
publications. Maxwell Bodenheim,
whose name is known wherever the
modern radical school of poetry is
recognized, is another to draw new
inspirations from the freshness of his
surroundings, this being his first
visit to the MacDowell colony.
Among those still to come are Louis
Anspacher and his brilliant wife, for
merly Katherlne Kidder, while new
arrivals include Babette Deutsch. who
has won some reputation as a writer
of modern verse and essays, one of
her latest articles having appeared
in the July number of the Schirmer
Musical Quarterly. Miss Deutsch, in
private life Mrs. Abram Yarmo
linsky, is accompanied by her hus
band, also a writer. Edwin Carty
Ranck. playwright, and his wife, the
writer, Reita Lambert Ranck, have
just concluded their stay and have
returned to New York. Mr. Ranck
will be remembered for his delight
ful three-act comedy, "Blind Mice,"
produced by the American Academy
of Dramatic Aarts at the Lyceum the
ater last year.
Playwright Is Colonist.
Another plawright of charm as an
Individual no less than in his work
is Frederick Ballard, known to
lovers of laugh by his "Believe Me,
Xantippe. Mr. Ballard has been
"colonist" for several seasons and
the colony would not be the same
without him. An unusually large
number of young men who have re
turned' to their literary labors and
careers after having served their
country are at the colony this year.
Among these may be mentioned
Hervey Allen, who is writing some
trenchant poetry since his return from
the front.
Dixie Selden, the portrait artist
from Cincinnati, is finishing some

The story begins with Tommy'a en

Scotch village of Thrums and his
rescue of Grizel from a crowd of
youngsters who are throwing stones
at her. It gives many episodes show
ing Tommy's flights of imagination
which are humorous and wholesome.
The story takes Tommy and Grizel to
maturity, when Grizel becomes de
mented after she finds her childhood
sweetheart with another woman in
his arms. The closing scenes are
dramatic and full of heart Interest.
In the title role is Gareth Hughes,
a young Welsh actor, whose brilliant
histr'onlc ability has made him one
of the best juveniles of the stage, and
who was suggested unanimously for
the trying role of Tommy. He h
