PLAYS THE PART OF CHICOT
A Continuous Spirit of Gayety, of
Maiden'e Innocence and Youth
First Love, With Never a Note of
Badness, Make Up the Comedy.
It i not only to a boy's character
that Maude Adams returns as "Chi
cot,"' in John Raphael's translation of
Miguel ZamacoU' "The Jesters," but
agUin she is in an atmosphere as
charming as a fairy tale, as dainty
as an exquisite jewel, as fantastic and
airy as a child' s dream. "Chicot,"
the Jcntcr, is an avowed poet "Peter
Pan" was a poet unawares. It is
Chicot's sprightliness of wit, his fan-
cifulncis, the radiant glow of the
poet's mind and lover's heart that
captures the love of "Solange," the
daughter of "Baron de Mautpre."
"Chicot" is the victor in tourna
ment of wit and fancy that is leavened
always with vital human interests,
lie is gentle hero in the eternal
game of love and chance, though he
proves to us that love is less blind
than hs is said to be. The lad's
spirit is akin to that of another boy
who sang of youth, eternal youth, of
sun rising, and of poet's singing
Once more it is the glorification of
youth.
"The Jester" is that in spirit, but in
fabric it is something more: it is the
lover's story of the coming of Prince
Charming, told in verse that has
heart as well as poetic elegance. . The
role immediately suggested itself,
even in manuscript, as "another
Maude Adams' part." The scenes
evoke by the poet are sweet, famil
iar and honett. Visions of flowers,
of birds, and of sleeping children
watched over carefully by their
mothers, a continuous spirit of gaiety,
of maiden's innocence, and youth's
first love, with never a note of sad-
nets, or any of the conventional po
etic devices, make up the four acts of
Zamacois' comedy of sweet and ten
der verses.
This season is certain to be an aus
picious one for Maude Adams. For
the first time since she became a star
under the management of Charles
Frohman, she is supported in "The
Jester" by a permanent organization,
known as "the Maude Adams Com-
..a t . . .Ml
piiny. , Its principal memoers win
figure prominently m the scheme for
future repertoire seasons which Mr.
Frohman has in mind for Miss
Adams.
Although the period of "The Jes
ters" is during the reign of Henry
the Second, Zamacois introduces an
antiquary who calls on the "Baron de
Mautpre," in a business way, out of
interest in antiques and in Gothic
furnishings. The "Baron de Mautpre"
has nothing left to sell except some
ordinary pieces of armor and some
common old chests. He owes his
servants wages, for he has kept with
him several valets, a woman called
"Nicole." and the savage "Vulcano.
The presence of this bully enables the
Baron to control his dependents
when their demands are proclaimed
too loudly,
There is also in the old chateau an
ancient major domo, "Oliver," once
a physician. He worships the Baron,
his master, but he loves the Baron's
daughter, "Solange," even more. She
is 16; she is the joy and sunshine of
the old chateau. When she is before
their eyes, "Oliver" and his master
forget the debts and the unpaid ser
vitors. ?'
Besides these, two young men have
been attracted to the chateau, partly
to carry out a practical joke, partly
out of curiosity from hearing of the
grace and charm of "Solange." They
don't love her, for they have never
ever seen her. All they know is that
she has been brought up entirely
anart from the world, and they wish
to carry out their theories of love, by
testing whether it is man's beauty or
man's wit that wins a woman's love.
They get into the chateau by pass
Ing themselves off as the assistants of
one of the merchants. They have tried

to gain the good will of "Oliver," in
order to see "Solange." And ss
"Oliver hopes that one of them may
marry her, he becomes' their ac
complice. By his advice, "Solange" pretends
she Is suffering from mortal weari
ness, which is undermining her health;
that she must have amusement and
recreation. An announcement Is giv
en out that a competition for jesters
will be held at .the Chateau de
Mautpre.
In the grand reception room of the
chateau, "Solange" and the Baron re
ceive the candidates, surrounded by
their servants, who are armed for the
occasion and commanded by the bully
"Vulcano." Then the two young men
come forward, one has ; chosen the
name of "Chicot,' the other has
chosen the name of "Narcissus."
There are three other candidates,
country gawks. All are put up at the
castle for a month.
Soon the two Squires of Touraine
have met "Solange" and loved her.
They have decided to strive in a
friendly contest for her, letting him
win her whose grace of wit or per
son shall prevail. They are dressed
as jesters and the brilliant young
"Chicot" appears as s hunchback, re
lying upon his nibmle wit and poetic
fancy to capture the young girl's
heart. His comrade has eloquence and
comeliness with which to battle for
the maiden. For a merry month do
the jesters keep the walls and rafters
of the castle a-ring with their mirth
and noisy rivalry. All save "Hilarius,"
one of the minor candidates, who is
forever plunged in depest sadness.
The day of the final contest comes.
It is glorious summer evening. All
who dwell in the castle ar assembled
on its battlements. A little breeze is
rustling among the trees, and the
Rowers far beneath. Upon this breeze
the jesters are to improvise, and he
who does it best shall live in the
castel besides "Solange." F.ach in
voke the breeze. "Narcissus" is clev
er, but "Chicot" is eloquent, tender
and sincere ,and he carries off the
prize. But this victory does not sat
ihfy him, for, in order to win his
wager with "Narcissus, he must be
loved by "Solange," as well as love
her. And this wish he soon discovers
has become a fact. '
The young poet overcomes the
Baron's scruplies. He exhibits him
self as a gentleman, and as a rich one,
and shows that he is not deformed.
And thus it is proved that a woman
loves the wit, not the face, of her
lovef.
AMERICANS CHILDLIKE.
Russian Singer's Impression of New
York Is a Frank Grilling.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-That
Americans are really nothing more
than children is the proposition of
Theodore Chaliapine, the Russian
basso, who left for home yesterday
after Ringing in New York for several
months.
New York, he said, had faults that
went with bigness, but if he pointed
out those faults told just what he
thought of this city he would be
come the most unpopular basso in it
As for the weather, the basso said it
coul dnot be beaten, even in St. Pet
ersburg. He said he pitied Americans
because they had "no light, no song,
in their lives."'
"Their ruin is they are content with
what they have got," he added. "The
Americans are children in things that
pertain to art, and for that matter al
most in business. You can see how
naive and trustful they are when they
allow their financial men to go to
such lengths with their money." The
basso has $3,500 in the closed New
Amsterdam Bank.
"But their juvenality is more ap
parent in dramatic and musical art."
M. Chaliapine said that, like chil
drcn, New Yorkers were particularly
amused at physical feats. When a
girl comes out as a circus rider and
kicks up her feet, that "goes" with
them.
"It is the delight of children. I like
them for it. I suppose it is charac
teristic of a young people," said the
artist
"The Americans prefer to be
bluffed. Americans like to be made
to cry by Rockefeller, for instance,
but I could make them cfy from a
different cause. It would be an ar
tistic effort"
SENT TO AN ASYLUM, '
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. R
Livingston, Russian writer, personal
friend and follower of Count Leo Tol
stoi and brother of Countess Amelia
C. Viviani of Russia, was adjudged
insane in Oakland yesterday because
he persistently forced his unwelcome
attentions on young women students
of the University of California.
After being adjudged insane, Liv
ingston requested that he be sent to
the Napa asylum and the court so
ordered.
THE MASTER FISH
WARDEN'S REPORT
FACTS AND FIGURES OF THE
BIO SALMON INDUSTRY ARE
TOLD IN CONCISE MANNER.
The salmon product of the Colum
bia River canned and packer under
the cold storage procces, and han
dled by dealers and others on the
Oregon side of the river this . year
(1907) was as follows: Chinooks,
15,798,116 pounds; Steelheads, 1,112,-
009 pounds; Silversides, 1,045,516
pounds; Blucbacks, 196,102 pounds;
and Tulcs, 57458 pounds. As com
pared with the product of 1906, this
is a falling off of near 17 per cent
with the Chinooks of over 39 per
cent with the Silversides, of 28 per
cent with the Steelheads and of over
68 per cent with the Blucbacks. 1
have no figures from the State of
Washington showing the product
that was handled on that side of the
river this year, but I infer from close
observations made that the same con
ditions existed on both sides of the
river and that the entire river showed
a general shortage with all varieties
of salmon of about the same propor
tion
This year the combined pack of
Chinooks, Silversides, Steelheads and
Blucbacks on the Oregon side of the
Columbia River was 18,151,743 pounds
whereas, during 1906 it was 22,908,
700 pounds, as shown by the follow
ing table, showing the salmon product
of the Columbia River for the years
1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and
1907. (State of Oregon side of the
river);
1901, 16,725,435; 1902, $21,175,868;
1903, 24,575,228; 1904, 23,466,323; 1905,
24,425,291; 1906, 22,908,700; 1907, 18,
151743. The salmon product of the coast
streams was very encouraging again
this year when we take into considera
tion the exteme dry spell of weather
that we had throughout the entire sea
son, especially, throughout the fall
Chinook season, thereby permitting
all the streams to run very low and
making the conditions generally the
most unfavorable that we have had
for years. From reports received, the
pack shows that 2,018,643 pounds of
Chinooks were taken; 3,852,112 pounds
of Silversides; 210,120 pounds of
Steelheads and 657,407 pounds of
Tulcs; and that the combined pack
amounted to 6,738,682 pounds, which
was somewhat short of the 1906 pack,
but as is shown by the following
table, is considerable larger than any
of the years prior thereto.

of the salmon product of the Oregon
coast streams for the years 1901, 1902,

1901, 4,371.618; 1902, 3,402,803; 1903,
4,549,685; 1904, 5,899,540; 1905. 5,555,

: Receipts from licenses .issued from
Columbia River and coast streams
during the year 1907, $25,123.05.
1901, $11,164.50; 1902,. $11,065,20;
1903, $15,987.58; 1904, $17,885.60;
1905, $21,774.90; 1906, $26,242.20.
The total spawn collected this year
at these hatcheries which are all trib
utary to the Columbia River amount
ed to 7,178,300, as shown by the fol
lowing table:
Salmon River Hatchery, 1,591,000,
Clackamas River Hatchery Station,
2,491,000; McKenzie River Hatchery,
2,172,000; Wallowa River Hatchery,
378,300; Ontario Salmon Hatchery,
542,000; total, 7,178,300.
The total spawn collected this year
on the streams that flow into the Pa
cific Ocean, south of the Columbia
River, amounted to 20,433,800 as
shown by the following table:
Tillamook Hatchery Station, 4,388,
000; Yaquina Hatchery, 3,833,000;
Alsea River Hatchery Station, 1,170,
