THE SUNDAY OREGONTAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 17, 1922 7 7 NEW YORK THEATERS BUSY DURING PRE-HOLIDAY WEEK Old Superstition That People Are Too Poor to Go to Shows Before Christmas Disproved This Year. ' I CST- l "Cl ' - v ' - ' ' : (?: & zr . m ' v& fc t I - - ;r &rjjrarrc? JiTjr Oris 'gov?-- n$jzs'I BY ELIZABETH IXDNBRGAN. NEW YORK, Deo. 16. (Special.) ' The poorest week of the year, just passed, wasn't nearly as poverty stricken for theatrical man esers as In former times. This old time superstition about people being too busy or too poor! to take time to eo to the theater during the week preceding Christmas, is fast becoming a back number. Perhaps veryone shops early these days and takes the few days before the holi day season to divert their weary minds. Certainly managers had no cause for complaint. "There are more real successes this season than for years and several other shows shone In the reflected glory of the, left overs from the sold out houses. Several New Shows Out. There were several new shows. Principal in interest was the latest Molnar offering (he is author of "The Devil" and of the more recent "Lllliom"), which features O. P. Heggie and Helen Gahagen. "Fash Ions for Men" It Is called and the idea. Is certainly an unusual one. Whether It will ever be copied in this country Is a doubtful point. The central character Is one of those self -sacrificing persons that we meet more often in plays and novels than in real life. Mr. Heggie 1s cast for the role of a shopkeeper who lets his wife make a fool of him first, last and always. When elie decides that she likes his clerk, he makes no objection to her walk ing off with him and even gives his blessing to them both. Later when she comes back he loads her with presents and, though still loving her, has evidently made up his mind that her happiness comes first. Helen Gahagen makes an excellent im pression by her fine work in the leading role, portraying the wife as a soulless, selfish character, yet charming withal, and Mr. Heggie is splendid in the lead. Edwin NIcander, Beth Merrill and Clark Silvernail also have good roles. "Fashions for Men" is another for eign success coming from Hungary. It has had considerable vogue. "The World We Live In," also produced by Mr. Brady, continues to draw crowds to the Al Jolson theater, proving that where foreign novelties are really worth while they will succeed in this country. New Play Unusual. A notable example of this is Brock Pemberton's "Six Characters in Search of an Author," which opened at the Princess for a bare four weeks' engagement. The run has been extended indefinitely because the play Is so unusual and of such real interest that it has attracted fine audiences. It is not a play that will appeal to the "low brow" or to those who like the bedroom farce, but for people who like clever lines, Intensely dramatic situations and eomething novel, it is a great de light. Mr. Pemberton is to be con gratulated upon bringing this Ital ian play to New York. There is a larae eempany more than twenty Wi no "props" are used In the first 'dot Curtain rises upon empty stage and gradually the company comes in to rehearse their new drama for stock. Then the six characters come In and ask the author to put them into a play and the rest of the action continues their sordid story, interrupted occasionally by the real actors taking the charac ter parts and sjiowlng how hard It Is to portray real life. Finally the director decides that the story. though true, is entirely too strange for the theater, puts the characters out and commences rehearsals upon a real thriller which has all the old hokum and will without doubt please the audiences! Whether Mr. Pemberton will send his company on tour is a doubtful question, though he may play a few engage ments nearby at the close of the run here. Mystery Play Appears. The stock of mystery plays does not seem to be exhausted. The last 10 enter the ranks is "Listening In1 and tells of an old house, of the haunted variety where all sorts of weird things happen. The heir to the fortune, in compliance with the will, sees to the house, which has been closed for twenty years, and searches for evidence of the super natural.' He hires a magician to help him and they conduct some very spooky experiments. The play is staged by Ira Hards ' and parts are well acted by Dodson Mitchell, Giorgio Majeronl, Helen Flint, Min na Gombel, Harry Stubbs and Ernest Glendenning. A burlesque of the old-time melo drama earns to the Nora Bayes and provided much amusement. Staged as It would be at the "opry house" it is presented in truly rural fash Ion after an introduction by the NEW BILLS AT (Continued from Pairs 6.) headline next week's vaudeville bill at the Pantages theater. Miss Cun ningham Is regarded as among the "first flight" of beauties of the American stage. First In support comes the, Byron Bros.' Moanalua sextet in a scenic musical melange with six all-star artists offering a programme" of melody, harmony and Jazz syncopa tion, with an Hawaiian jazz band, piano, Scotch bagpipe and other in struments. Les Morgan and Beryl Gray, with Broadway achievements to their credit, will appear in a sketch, "Bungalow Love," a comedy playlet from the virile and versatile pen of Wlllard Mack. Still another feature is the ap pearance of Chernynoff, who is known throughout concert circles as one of the foremost concert pianists. Kauffman and Lillian will be seen in a comedy oddity with music, en titled "Fur and Feathers." The Leach-Wallin trio will offer their Iron-jaw wire sensation, which is a remarkable exhibition of whirling gymnastics performers on slack wire by one artist with lightning speed, while the ends of the wire are held in their teeth by two girls. The usual programme or Interest ing motion pictures will serve to in troduce the vaudeville section of the progpamme. MTJSICAX ACT NEW FEATURE Hippodrome B1H Presents Some Unusual Vaudeville Turns. Topping the bill at the Hippo drome this week comes Paul Kleist and company, whose offering is new and novel. Musical instruments in novel ways are introduced, clever whistling numbers are heard, -and the work of Kleist, who makes up as a clown, is funny at all times. The billing of the act is "Land of Dreams," which has been selected especially for this turn. Bean and Ollie Marlay, In their act called "A Little of This and That," have a pleasing musical turn. They have interwoven single comedy tunes, double singing and dancing novelties and duet saxophone selec tions. "The Welsh Miners" are Williams and Healey, who- are making their first appearance here, coming over the Ackerman & Harris circuit. They have an original act which gives them plenty of scope for real sing ing, whistling and imitations. A novel dancing turn is offered by the Military Trio. Their act, billed "From Reveille to Taps," is some thing new in the dancing line. Al most every known step is introduced in a series of numbers that keep the audiences entertained. With dogs doing several imper sonations, Jule Busse and her part ner are bringing a novelty animal act over the circuit. Rope jump ing, balancing and work on a slack wire are a few of the tricks the tiny canines perform. Doris May is seen in one of her latest pictures, "Up and at "Em," LYRIC TO PRESENT TURKEYS New Musical Comedy Will Share Honors With Ynle Gifts.

The Selwyns began rehearsals the other day of "The Rear Car," an other mystery play, toy the way, Which will have Taylor Holmes as the featured player. E. E. Ros$ is author and the production will be made under the personal direction of Edgar Selwyn. The new produc tion, "Johannes Kreieler," is ready to open and the prices for the first night have been listed at 10 for orchestra seats. Other nights $3, with a dollar advance for Saturday and holiday nights. Another bit of interesting news from the fceiwyn offices is about the success of "The Fool." Western audiences were en thusiastic over its presentation in Calfornia last summer, but there were many predictions New York would never stand for the play be cause of its religious atmosphere Both playwright and the producers were willing to take the chance and have had the eatisfaction of seeing the play show to packed houses for nearly ten weeks and have visions of a long ani- prosperous run on Broadway. Japanese Star Engag-ed. The Shuberts and Walter Jordan have taken Sessue Hayakawa out of the films and' will present him In a dramatic offering for the etage which is called "Tiger Lily." It is a story of San Francisco's China town and Is from the pen of Fred De Gresac, author of "Orange Blossoms." This will be Mr. Haya kawa's first appearance on. the Eng lish speaking stage. After his early experience on the stage in Japan he appeared in various native dra mas in the little Japanese theaters in California. These roles have In cluded "Hamlet," "Macbeth" and other Shakespearean characters. Mr. Hayakawa came to California in 1913 and appeared in several pic tures in the support of his wife, Tsoiru Aokl, who was discovered by Thomas Ince and presented tn his pictures. Later she played in a number of Majestic pictures. Haya kawa was secondary to his wife, but he since attained great popularity while she seldom appears upon, the screen. BUIie Burke to Appear.

Princess Elizabeth of Roumania sent one of her own native royal robes of state, exquisitely embroid ered, to Mitzi, with the inscription, De Princlpessa la Contessa." The little star will wear the cos tume on the stage here. In her new musical play Mitzi is said to have the best opportunity of her career to display her talents. Her role is that of a penniless countess, who, to earn money, im personates the ghost of her ances tral aunt. Caught one day in the garden overalls before a party of tourists, the gardener passes her self off as the gardener's boy. A young American engineer who hears her sing helps her to get to America, where she finds fame and fortune as a boy soprano.

NEW YORK. Dec is. (.special. Rachmaninoff, ScheUlng, Thl baud these were the possi bilities of a recent Sunday after noon. Which should it be? Rach maninoff's recital was sold out early (and a new one Immediately an nounced for March 24), so one de cided for Jacques Thibaud because he has not been heard hire for two years. One missed the rather spec tacular event oi ocbkiiihb najr"s PDdArnwskl'a concerto with the New York Symphony orchestra ths while Paderewskl listeneu irom a r,rnmiTint box. but one neara a very beautiful recital by the French violinist. One turns back a good many pages of memory to una a recital of like quality, so restful, dignified, almost patrician in ef fect. Mr. Thibaud has been playing In Plnmna and in South America, and he must have been pleased by the long and hearty applause with which the audience weicomeu uim back to America. His first number was a very oia and little known sonata oy Tan- cesco Veraclnl, which he piayea with impeccable style and feeling for the classic spirit, and with a tone of shining, silken loveliness. I have never, heard more beautiful playing In that particular genre. He then played a fantasle by Hue, also a rarity played It with imagi nation and a sort or rnapsoaio beauty. The ' Huron concerto in minor as less satisfying, because Thi baud, like everyone else, has the defects of his qualities, and as a corollary of the finish and Greek restraint of his playing there is a certain coldness. So the "Romance, ' which was played too slowly, was a bit arid and left one teeung cheated of an expected emotion. Some of the small pieces on the programme and some of the encores were perfectly enchanting his own arrangements of the WiemawsKl "Saltarella or a tairy pianissimo and an elfin swiftness and rhythm, and of the Granados "Spanish Dance." alternately langorous and fiery; the Couperln-Kreisler "Tam bourin," played with delicious style that translated a long-gone century into gay yet wistful music; the Kreisler "Arabian Air," with its somber richness of tone and its hauntine rhythms all these were played with profound distinction and complete technical mastery. Charles Hart, who played for Mr. Thibaud when he was here before, accompanied him yesterday and will eo with him on a six months' tour. which opens this week in Pittsburg. After a hectic fortnight of plane music there was a lull this week until Friday night, when Harold Morris gave his annual recital in Aeolian hall, playing a good many of the stock pieces of the piano rep ertoire. with the Grieg "Ballade' as piece de resistance. Mr. Morris is a young Texan who has become oriented here , as a teacher of the Damrosch institute as pianist and as composer. He is a good musician and a sincere artist, and his playing seemed to me to show a distinct aa ranee in virtuosity since his last recital, but after all it is as a com noser that Mr. Morris shows the greatest power, and I suspect that there is where his heart is, because after the recital he said with a sigh of satisfaction. "Now I can get at my string quartet." Harold Morris" name is one to fix in vour memory if you are interest ed in the development of a school of American composers. His "Sym phonic Poem" was played from manuscript . by the Philharmonic and the Cincinnati orchestras, and it is now being published so that It will be available elsewhere. When Paul Roseaeld reviewed the work ism. b fir- 4 SSIIiiil look her prettiest, whether sport ting her cook's negligee, garden overalls, boyish velvet pants or royal robe. of the American in the Dial Music Guild last spring he emphasized his personal feeling that of all young American composers, Morris had something most vital, significant and original to say. It is astounding how many artists of Oregon origin have won or are striving for success here. One meets j them everywhere. There is Wini fred Byrd, who comes from Salem. She is a serious, attentive figure at all of the important concerts when she is in town, looking youthful and artistic with' a tara on her bobbed hair and sandals on her feet. Miss Byrd spent the summer near New York, coming In to play the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody" with the Philharmonic orchestra under the baton of Willem Van Hoogstraten, oui at tne stadium. And, by the way, only those marooned on Man hattan island in midsummer, can know the joyous relief of sitting in that great half-circle under the moon and stars in the cool of the evening, listening to great music. Miss Bvrd also had a week a.t the Capital theater, where they have a policy of presenting well-known artists for seven-day engagements. Miss Byrd played the Grieg concerto witn the fine Capital orchestra twice a day during her week, and she enjoyed the enthusiasm of a real movie audience. She has . a good season ahead,, booked for her by Haensel & Jones, and after her appearance December 10 at a mu sical intime at Sherry's will not be heard here again until her recital in March. Miss Byrd's indomitable spirit and her colossal capacity for work have gone far to justify the sobriquet fixed upon her by Huneker "the little devil of the keyboard." One wonders whether it Is chance or natural selection that brings so much Oregon talent Into the Capital theater programme. There is Thania Zanou, a member of the permanent Of a r j ATTRACTION kJf-L ) fl LI of the. ;Jf f-Y; GREENWICH Wtli : ) A VILLAGE r r-rf - W V rou L-iebg yr' J IsW 1 LILLIAN jTfcio I teqb- raros , jr ,jYtv ballet and a dancer of exquisite grace.

Then, sinelng in the small, carefully chosen ensemble Is ' Wihlma Young, a. golden-haired so- j prano from Astoria. Misa Young : who Is a graduate of University of , Oregon and who has been making ' steady advance during her several seasons in New York, is another Oregon girl whose pluck and de termination are carrying her through the difficulties that beset the road to artistic success. It was really rather wonderful to find that the Capital's headliner last week was Barbara Lull little Barbara Lull! It seems only week before last that she played at the MacDowell' club I think it was her first appearance a tiny girl play ing a tiny violin. Everyone saw the budding genius in the child who ran on and off the stage with so little concern about the audience, and who seemed so quietly absorbed In her playing. The bud Is blossom ing and about to bear ripe, well flavored fruit, because Barbara has been wisely directed and given the best opportunities. She has been working with Leopold Auer for evt eral years, and will go on studying until she is ready to be launched, a finished artist. She was billed at the Capital as "Barbara Lull, the American Violinist," and the audi ences received her with immense cordiality. She is a beautiful young creature, with fine Intelligence, tem perament, plus enormous talent and what is ,not always found in this company, good sense. Her tone is big and rich and ehe plays with un derstanding remarkable in a 17-year-old girl. I should say ehe will go very far indeed. On Monday night the City Sym phony orchestra was heard for the second time, and one Is obliged to admit that- Dirk Foch did not quite sustain the good impression that he made at the debut of the orchestra. Elena Gerardt was the soloist of the occasion, singing) among other things Schubert's "Standchen," with the Pelham Manor club chorus. The chorus did such excellent work that it was the outstanding feature of the concert, and it was prepared by its regular director, Howard Barlow of Portland. Mr. Barlow is very active musically this season, as di rector of the Beethoven society and the Pelham Manor club chorus, also of a chorus and an orchestra In Brooklyn. He is engaged with Horace Johnson in the preparation of a Christmas pantomime to be produced at the Inter-Arts theater. The -pantomime will be built around some Christmas carols of Rachman inoff the same lovely ones given by Kurt Schimdler at the Schola Cantorum concert a year or ck ago. Howard makes a good many ar rangements for Ricordi and for Fischer and does a little original work whenever he can find time. He has written some very good songs one of them, called Margaret, will be sung by Clalrs Dux In her Car negie hall concert in January. At their tea at the Pennsylvania hotel last week the directors of the New York State Federation of Music clubs gave a deal of serious con sideration to the problems of the American artist. They feel that .they are not fairly treated by managers in many instances, that foreign artists are too often given the pref erence and almost always rece've the larger fees. j Madame de Cisneros epoke for I many Amerlcap artists when she said "we do not resent the coming j of the big artists from Europe they raise the standard of art here, educate the public, inspire us Ameri can artists; what we do resent Is the Influx of mediocrities who come in on every boat, take all the good engagements and fees and leave nothing for the Americans who have spent their lives preparing for the same work." It is rather a lean season for art ists, especially If they chanced to be born on native soil. They say that Paderewskl and Challapln have hurt the season for everyone, practically, because they are so popular and so high priced. Every town of any size wants them, and having them can afford little else. A good story is going the rounds about Josef Hofman's last recital and Josef Hofman we have long proudly considered an American art ist. He gave a marvellous recital in Carnegie hall on the Saturday pre ceding Paderewakl's recital. He was never in better form never more truly a little giant never did he play more brilliantly, never did he arouse more frenzied enthusiasm. And after the recital he gave an other one, not of the small pieces with which pianists usually finish off an afternoon no Jndeed; he played rhapsodies and bravura pieces and still they wanted more and more and more. Finally, Hofman remarked to a friend In the artists'a room: "This is certainly flattering." "Not at all," was the reply. "It Is a vote of confidence in you. The pre mier will be here on Wednesday."
