TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 31,. 1922 GOOD SEASON IS PREDICTED FOR THEATER IN NEW YORK Several Openings Come During Holiday Week David Warfield Gets Ovation in Debut in "Merchant of Venice.? 5 - L f- i I , f I - - ' - I N" BL ELIZABETH LONERGAN. fEW YORK, Dec. 30. (Special.) -The New Year opens very auspiciously after one of the most profitable fall seasons in a, number of years. From indications, the good luck is destined to con tinue, which is fine New Year's present to everyone in the theatri cal business.. . Several openings of importance cams during the Holiday season. An extraordinary ovation was given to David Warfield at his debut in "The Merchant of Venice," an ovation that suggested a gala night at the Metropolitan opera house, rather than a first night in the theater. Mr. Warfield, in a recent interview said that he had been, .preparing for 15 years to play "Shylock" and his stud and waiting has not been in vain. It is a most wonderful inter pretation that he gives- of the well known character of drama and fic tion. His characterization! is one that etaiids out; even comparisons seem unnecessary, for his Shylock Is something bigger and better than ever seen before. The famous money lender is a majestic figure, typify ing the wrongs that his race has Buffered, rather than the cringing creature that some aotors have por trayed him. Supporting Cast Good. Mr. Belasoo has provided an ex cellent supporting cast and the set tings and costumes made every one of the scenes unusually beautiful. Lighting effects in keeping with the artistic effect; in fact if all Shakes pearian productions were as pleas ing to the eye, as soothing to the voice and so wonderfully acted there would be fewer who dislike the plays of the immortal bard. As to the cast Mary Servoss made her New York debut as Portia and though suffering with a severe throat, made a pleasing impression; Ian MacLaren as Antonio, Philip Merrivale as Bassanio, Mary Ellis as Narissa and W. L Percival in the role of Gratiano all achieved signal success in their various parts. The next Shakespearian .produc tion will ba Ethel Barrymore's ap pearance as Juliet, which is due within the next few days. Jane Cowl, under the Selwyn banner, will open In the same play about the middle of January and the war will be on in earnest. The engagement will be a limited one as Miss Cowl is scheduled to appear in a new play during her season in New York. Rehearsals have been conducted with the stage practically set, an unusual novelty in the theater. These settings are less elaborate than in the Belasco and Hopkins production but are, nevertheless, extremely artistic, and the use of them during the preliminary re hearsals, adds much to tbe pleasure of the actors. Miss Cowl's opening town is Toledo, Ohio, after which she will- play a week in Cincinnati. Then, if all goes well,the Selwyn theater will welcome the new . Juliet and theatergoers will be kept busy deciding which of the two fair ladies is the 'better. "Red Poppy Popular. "The Red . Poppy" with Estelle . Winwood as star. Andre Picard, author of "Kiki," which has the longest run of any show in New York to its credit at the present time, wrote the new -play which does not seem destined to share the success of its predecessors. The story tells of a French lady charm ing and extremely well-mannered, whose past is a deep mystery to her aristocratic friends. She has com from Monmarte and there are times when she longs to be back in the. old atmosphere. Stealing away one- night, she returns to one of the cafes and becomes acquainted with a most attractive cutthroat. Spanish chap of many charms. She persuades him to rob her house, posing as the housemaid and agree ing to let him in. His dismay can be well imagined when he learns that she is mistress, not maid. ,Miss Winwood is thoroughly charming in the dual role and her leading man, Beta Lugosi, was formerly leading man at the National theater, Buda- pest. His acting is good and his English excellent and he received quite an amount of applause. The authors of "Irene" have new musical show that they hope will prove a second winner. So far they have not accomplished the de sired with "Glory," but are hard at work, writing and trying out and sooner or later the finished product will come to Broadway. Last week they played the subway circuit, but with the exception of Patty Harold who followed Edith Day in. the name part of "Irene," the cast was prac tically, unknown and those who iourneyed to Brooklyn for the premiere were not greatly im pressed. It will probably be im-i possible to recognize the present offering when it is ready for its real opening. performance, but "while it i nt deep it is never heavy; it has the French esprit a certain deftness and grace that carry one along, like an hour in amusing company. It is modern, but not too modern. I liked best the second movement, and it would be impossible for- musicians to play with finer balance and yet with greater freedom than these artists broueht to this tantalizing will o" the wisp of sound with its alternat- Announcement has been made that J ing three-eighths and five-eighths the new Winter Garden show will have Peggy Joyce as one of its fear turas. Miss Joyce, whose matri monial affairs have figured largely in the press, was at one time under the Shubert management, her last appearance in New York being In "A Sleepless Night." - Before that sne was in "The Riviera. Girl," acting both here and abroad In the prin cipal role, and her return to the stage will be in a musical show, where she can show her voice, her gowns and, incidentally, her beauti ful figure. Another star will De Benny Leonard, and the show will be- called "Fashions of 1923." The Winter Garden is being thoroughly overhauled and it will be difficult to : recognize the playhouse in its new dress, so completely has it been transformed. ' rhvthms. One cannot deny tne Pierne a certain charm, but follow ing It, how solid and healthful and truly musical the Brahms B major trio sounded. . The Letz quartet Hans Letz, Ed win Bachman, Edward Kreiner and Horace Britt gave a fine concert in Aeolian hall, playing th Mozart quartet in C major, an interesting quartet in one movement by David Stanley Smith, and for. piece de re sistance Schonberg's "Verklarte Nacht" sextet for two violins,, two violas and two cellos, with the as sistance of Messrs. Kortschak and Kefer. This is early Schonberg, melodious and harmonious to a de gree, a work of, tremendous propor tions and deep" Import a veritable Tristan in miniature. "Verklarte Nacht" was brought to this country some years ago by Edwin Rice, a nrvtprt musical amateur: through him few of the new and i Kneisel found it and made the pub lic acquainted wixn us gnt uuvj. Good Shows Coming. " Here. are good things that will be launched within the next fortnight; The long awaited for performance of the impSrted novelty, "Johannes Kreisler," twice postponed, will positively op'en during the next few days. . . Helen MacKellar will be presented by A. H. Woods in "The Masked Woman," of which very good re ports have been received. , Billie Burke will return to the Empire theater in "Rose Briar," a new comedy written especially for her by Booth Tarkington. Another favorite western star who will open in a new play on the same night that Miss Burke has set for her return is Fay Bainter who will be seen, in "The Lady Cristilinda." William Harris Jr., who brought Miss Bainter out in "East Is West," is sponsor for the new play. The Moscow art theater will visit Broadway for a short engagement, commencing January 8, and sub scriptions are rolling in for seats with great rapidity. The first full company of the foremost theatrical organization In the world will make its debut, and the eyent is of great significance. Those who have been fortunate enough, to see the play ers in Moscow or in Stockholm agree that they are second to none. The acting is vivid and expressive and the style of plays something en tirely new to American audiences. Company 25 Yeara Old. This well-known organization was founded 25 years ago and has acted plays by Shakespeare, Gorky, Mae terlink, Tolstoy, Ibsen and many other modern and old-time drama tists. Morris Gest, who brought over Chauve-Souris, will play the two as rival attractions and already has taken measures to prevent speculators from buying up all the seats by establishing a four-seat-to-one-person limit, thus insuring fair ness to everyone. ' He also will not accept telephone orders, so it will be a case of first come. The Amer ican tour is the second journey from home that the players have made. In 1905 they visited Berlin, and the present tour has embraced Prague, Paris and Berlin, with record audi ences along the route. Whether the Intention is tp visit other cities in the United States or only New York is a matter which Mr. Gest will de cide later. MUSICAL SEASON BUBBLES WITH BRILLIANT ARTISTS Sigrid Onegin's Debut Recital, Paderewski's Appearance and Heifetz in Two Philharmonic Concerts Outstanding Features. It has been arranged for string or chestra. and was so Drodnced here a year otwo since by Mengelberg if; my memory serves nifc One is grateful "to Mr. Letz, who is a former associate of Kneisel's, for his re vival of "Verklarte Nacht," and one will recall with delight its sensuous beauty and tonal c"harm when most of the music of this season . is a fadins-' memory. In the same hall the New York Chamber Music society rounded out the week. Miss .Carolyn Beebe, kins woman of the late General Beebe of Portland, Is founder and director of th society, and she has shown much constructive and executive force In keeping it alive and to the fore for a number of years years which have left wrecks of many similar organizations strewn along the shores of time. Associates Are Artists. An excellent musician and pianist herself, she associates with nunrber of other artists for the per formance of unfamiliar works.writ ten for unusual combinations of in struments. The programme opened with a Mozart quintet, agreeable but rather dry. We used to enjoy the Joke about the man who rushed home from a, concert of modern mu sic to rinse out hds ears1 with some Mozart, but now we want to hurry from certain Mozart to the. nearest delicatessen for some caviar, over to Paris for some absinthe, down to the Whitney Studio club for some Carl Ruggles to do something dreadfully unladylike. There were some small pieces by Bruch and there was a. first- performance in New York of an Elgar quintet beautifully played but rather Men delssohnian and then like a draught of fresh air there -was a delightful performance of a Suite Antique by Albert Stoessel, done from the man uscript by a dozen wood andTltring Instruments, the composer playing one of the violins. The work is kept charmingly in the antique vein. It is frankly melodious. It is fresh, spontaneous and invigorating. Ev eryone enjoyed it, including several members1 of the American music guild who were present to applaud their colleague. Success to Miss Beebe, who has fought a good fight for American music and American artists. Chaliapin finished his engagement of seven performances. He ap. peared in Boris Godunof, Don Car. los and Mefistofele to crowded and demonstrative- audiences, and thou sands of persons who could not get tickets to hear him are hoping that Gatti -will re-engage him for some performances in . the " spring. Jer- itza made a sensational appearance in Thais, but that as another story, BY FRANCES S. BURKE. EW YORK, Dec. 30. (Special) The musical season is bub bling and seething like a witch's cauldron, glowing at white heat and now and' again sending up brilliant bursts of flame or a glit tering shower of sparks. The re cent outstanding illuminations have been Sigrid Onegin's New York debut recital, Paderewski's appear ance in a pair of New York sym phony concerts and Heifetz in two philharmonic concerts. Paderewski repeated the success which crowned his previous recital. As before his audience -ose to greet him, and as before he rose to Olympian heights of artistry, he played the Beethoven Emperor Con certo, and when he had finished precedent had to be set aside to permit him to play a number of encores a thing taboo in symphony concerts. Did I say he played en cores? I mean he took us with him into the land of dreams while he played the music of that other great Pole, Chopin; played a prelude, a mazurka, a scherzo, weaving his potent spell about Mr. Damrosch and the orchestra as subtly as he did- about the audience. Playing Is Revelation. Paderewski's playing is a revela tion of the truth which is beauty and the beauty which is truth. The men and. women who heard him play that Beethoven concerto went out into the dripping dusk as from a temple where wreathing incense and the light of oandl'e's- mingled before an altar of the most high. In my student days in Vienna, Max Nalbee invented a phrase to describe Ellen Gulbransen, a singer, who came from Norway with Grieg to sing his songs in the Austrian capital that lovely old Vienna of other days, now as utterly van ished as ancient Babylon. "A sing ing Valkyrie," Kalbec called her, and a . singing Valkyrie Sigrid Onegin, the new contralto of the Met, seemed the other night in her flowing draperies of diaphonous gold over a robe of rose, velvet. She is more than queenly. She is a kingly -woman this dark-haired daughter of the north, whose flash ing eyes and brilliant smile are con tagious symptoms of perfect health and endless vitality. A stream of magnetism flows through her from some cosmic source, and her glorious voice, with its tremendous range and strength, "a voice such as you dream of but never hear" gives the same itripression of elemental free dom and power. It is an astounding organ. Artist Is Versatile. When Madame Onegin; sings the Brahms "Sapphiscfie Ode," it had thje deep timbre of the perfect con tralto all warmth and opulence. When she sang the Mozart "Alle lia" the contralto quality disap peared. The voice was light and flxibl. The florid passages were delivered with almost lyric-ease. A versatile artist is Sigrid Onegin, who sings Schubert's "Die Allmacht" with grandeur, "Der Erlkonig" with telling dramatic effect and Wecker- lin a "Bergerettes with delicate grace. She burst upon New York this winter, comparatively un heralded, but she is famous on the continent, in England and in the Scandinavian countries. They call her the Swedish contralto, but she laughingly says that her nationality is badly scrambled. She was born in Sweden of a French father and a German mother, married to a Rus sian Misband, from whom she takes her nam and the citizenship put her to the Inconvenience, of report ing to police headquarters thrice daily in Munioh during tne war. It was from the Munich opera where she had sung for five years that Gatti snatched her away for us. She has sung the roles of Amnerls and Brangane at the Met ropolitan to date, 'and it is said that she will sing in Lohengrin and II Trovatore later. It is a pity that there are no great stellar contralto roles for such a contralto. Yet one joins Mr. Krehbial in the hope that they will not try to transform her into a mezzo or a soprano in order to give her greater roles. On the whole Sigrid Onegin does not come under the head of earthly fires an organ so uniquely superb as hers must be clasified as a shooting star. Heifetz' Playing Extraordinary. Heifetz played Beethoven's one vi olin concerto with the Philharmonic orchestra, conducted bv Mr. stran. J sky, in a programme which included Loeffler s "Pagan Poem" one of the finest works for orchestra yet writ ten by an American composer. It would have made the programme significant enough without the ex traordinary playing of Heifetz. As it was, we heard the Beethoven played as only one other living vio linist could play it Kreisler, of course. I heard Heifetz play this great work four years ago -when he was a slender, dreaming youth. playing like an angel, with the deli cate coldness and the detachment which might be natural to an an gel. Now he plajse with calm au thority like a serious, thinking man, absorbed in his instrument a very great artist who has forgotten that. technical difficulties ever existed- whose bow arm is more marvelous than ever- and whose tone is now only a shade less warm than Kreis ler's. As he moved through the technical splendors of the first movement he was a giant; in the en trancing phrases of the larghetto he was a poet one thought of the an gel Israfel, whose heart strings were a lute; in the rondo with its dancing rhythm and fresh beauty sparkling like dew in the morning sun, he was a human being reaching out to touch humanity and -he was a wizard, too. Public Interest Held. Heifetz is one of those artists who have the power to intrigue and to hold public interest. Carnegie hall was crowded at both of these con certs and people were fairly shoving and elbowing each other to get in just to stand. If he plays here dozen times this winter there will be the same mob every time and it is no longer the glamour of an unusual personality or- the work of a clever press agent, for Heifetz is today a colossus among violinists. There has been a background ol refreshing chamber music The New York trio opened their fourth sea son in Aeolian hall before an audi ence thickly sprinkled with celebri ties. Scipione Guidi, concert master of the Philharmonic orchestra, is violinist of the trio. Cornelius Van Vliet, who shares the first cello desk of the same organization with the veteran Leo Schulz, is cellist, and the pianist is Clarence Adler, an artist of sound attainments. They played for the first time in this city an interesting novelty in Gabriel Pierne's trio in C minor the work which they introduced to America with distinguished success at th Berkshire festival last fall. It is long .work requiring 50 minutes for JOHN D. IS OUTCLASSED Henry 'Ford' Now Declared to Bo World's Richest Man. Wall Street Journal. Henrv Ford "has in the Ford Mo tor company the largest income, and canHalized, the largest fortune in the world. Profits before taxes for ISZ&'wui exceed $125,000,000. After taxes they will be J110,000,000. about 100 car. With these earnings-the Ford Motor company could be capitalized at $2,000,000,000 and pay 5 per cent on that capital. . Ford condemns bankers, but with KISO.000,000 cash he himself Is the largest individual banker in this country, if not in the world. Michi gan suger beet growers and auto mobile manufacturers have little need for such a stupendous sum and nlv a few m'llions are banked in Detroit. Wall street the finance the country absorbs the other mil lions and Ford accumulated profits expand and multiply with Wall- street assistance. In his newspaper interviews Ford says that Wall street and the gold standard have outlived their useful- ress, but his millions flow through to Wall street at 4 per cent to bring his company a possible $7,200,000 gold standard money annually in interest. This is more than $6 for every car he produces. Even a republican congress unites to add to the Ford wealth. The com pany paid more than $50,000,000 in federal taxes In 1921. Because of lire abolition of the excess prof Us evy It will pay oily $16,000,000 in 1922. The Fords are $34,000,000 rich er, though if they were to draw the riches out they would pay more than 50 per cent additional in per sonal income taxes. So Ford continues to pile up in ais business tne minions wnich Una I heir way into Wall street. His re placement parts business is so prof liable that he could chop off his manufacturing profit of probably ibi) a car and make more than $15, 900,000 annually, or $14 on each car produced from the sale of parts, nec essary to keep the millions of Fords now on the roards n running con dition. He could distribute this $14 as bonus to his workmen and still make the $6 a car profit from in terest. But he is not selling at cost. He is holding on to profits from inter est, parts and cars; $58,000,00 is the record of ten months ended last February, despite the heavy taxes $110,000,000 in alt' probability after taxes m Henry Ford is 'a Wall street himself, and the few blocks Woodward avenue, running past his lactones in .Detroit form a compan ion thoroughfare with the few blocks of Wall street from Trinity cnurcn to tne iast river. His in come, adding to his boundless wealth $500,000 a day through the busy season, is probably unequaled in all history. If he continues to pile up cash at this rate he cannot long denounce Wall street, or the money power of the country. Henry Ford will be that money power.

Light Opera company will open its return en gagement at the public auditorium this afternoon at 2:15. The company will appear at 13 performances dur ing the next eight days, giving six different operas. Night perform ances will be given each night up to and including Sunday, January 7, and matinees will be given today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Saturday and next Sunday. The advance sale of tickets indi cates a good attendance at all of the performances. It is thought this rush for seats has been due to the popularity won ty the company dur ing its engagement .at the auditor ium in November when a repertoire of comic and light opera including most of the operas to be given this time were sung with such success Lthat the company virtually took the city by storm. The return engage ment promises to 'be even more suc cessful than was the first appear ance, when the company pioneered the, way in repertoire comic and light opera, having been the first company to appear In Portland with a series of operas for many years. The company returns with all the favorites who made the wonderful hit for the company during its pre vious engagement and with several ne-w singers, including Dorothy Parker, mezzo soprano, a popular young woman who has joined the company since its Portland engage ment. Others with the company are Theo Pennington, Paula Ayres, Ed Andrews, George Olson, Harry Pfell, Carl Bundschu and others and the chorus of 35 and special orchestra. The company has added to its equipment since visiting Portland in November the elegant scenery nec essary for "Robin Hood.

Accuracy Has Not Been Matched In Modern Construction. LONIXJN, Dec. 30.-The designer of the great pyramid in Egypt must have had an absolute knowl edge of the figure of TWe earth, an oblate spheriod, flattened at the poles,' according" to Colonel A, O. Green of the royal engineers in Egypt. This assertion is based on the fact' that the pyramid stands at the true center of the land surfaces of the globe, according to Mercator's projection It is truly oriented to the four cardinal points of the heavens with an accuracy apparently unattainable in any building at the present time. The. "great circle," coinciding with the center lines of the ascending and the descending passages, ; and the "grand gallery" must, at the date of building, have coincided with a wonderful stellar conjunction which can recur only once in every 25,826 years, the number of years in the precession of the equinoxes. Hence,- according to Colonel Green, this establishes the date of the com mencement of the construction of the great pyramid to 2170 B. C, at which period Egypt was ruled over by the hated Hyksos, or shepherd kings. Irt carrying out the measurements of both, space and time, two units have been used, the "pyramid Inch," which Is equal to 1001 British Inches, and the ."sacred cubit" of 25 pyramid inches, or 25,025 British Inches, which has the same length as the cubit employed in the con struction of the tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant and King Solomon's temple, and is exactly one twenty- millionth of the earth's polar axis of rotation. By dividing the length of one side of the ' great pyramid, which is 9131.055 pyramid inches, by the sacred cubit the product is 365.2422, the exact number of days and frac tions of a day in the solar year. The two diagonals of the base added together are within a frac tion of the number of years in the precession of the equinoxes, namely 25,826.6. The estimated weight of the great pyramid is just one billionth of the estimated weight of the earth, or roughly 6,00,K0 tons. There is enough stone in it to build a wall six feet high all around France. Conscience Fund Increased $100. . Indianapolis News. One hundred dollars have been added to the conscience fund of the internal revenue department as tbe result of, a donation received oy C. C. Henze, acting division chief of the internal revenue department at Muncie. The money has been received by M. Bert Thurman, col lector of revenue for the state, and he has forwarded It to Washing'ton. With the money came the following letter to the division office at Mun cie: "Please find enclosed J100. I am not sure that I owe any of this, but I am trying to get right with God and the enemy of my soul Is trying to defeat me. But I don't want to miss heaven. The scripture says Oet thine house In order for thou shalt die and not live.' I can't afford to go to the judgment with out a clear conscience, so I ask you to accept this and If I have done any wrong, I may ask forgiveness and ask that you pray for me that God will save me. May God bless and save you. I must have some thing that will stand when the world Is on fire." The letter was not signed. I W. W. ELY - - - Res. Manager Continuous Show 1 to 11 P. M.
