The idea origi nated In Philadelphia, and Is a plan that appeals at once to the best judgment of practical people. Five hundred Pljinoj can be sold in five lots a great deal cheaper than they can be sold in the regular retail way to live hundred Indi vidual buyers. 1 It Is the same principle of selling large quantities to a single firm appUtnl to selling one hundred Pianos to as many people who unit In one club for that purchase. ; Two Honths of Preparation. : Over two months of most painstaking preparation' have been devoted to these five new piano clubs. Oyer a hundred thousand dollars' worth of - striotlj1 standard, brand new, fully warranted Pianos are Involved, among them the most costly Kimballs, and Chickertngs, and Webers. together with such famous makes as the Vose, the Hobart M.

"' rjr "'KICHJLXU CASTZX,." ("Richard Carvel" Is so truly Ameri can that the excellent portrayal of the character given us by Andrew Robson In the production which opened at the Marquam Grand last night is enough to stir the patriotism of the most blase Yankee that ever lived. He Is such. a splendid and thoroughly likable repre sentative of this democratic country that when he flings the toast of "lexlngton" at the British lords and nobles we feel like rising and secondlng.it. Mr. Robson Is fitted to a nicety in the title role. lie has a comanding figure and a rich voice. Is handsome and invests the. part with all the attributes which we would natur ally expect lit an Ideal hero. The entlrli company Is excellent and the scenery is In keeping with the senti ment of the play. The climax of the third act. when Carvel fights the Duke of Chartersea and figuratively-flaunts the eagle of independence in the face of the British royalty Is one of the most' In spiring ever staged. Two of trie" cleverest young women who have been seen on the local stage In many months are Virginia Milton as. Dorothy Manners and Prisctlla Knowles as Putty Swain. ; Dorothy - Manners, Is the heroine -of the romance, and she Is exquisitely delightful, Mlsa Knowles has a charming personality and gives more than a pleasing Impersonation. Her work Is combined with a quality of men tality that Is met with very seldom. Virginia Milton's Dorothy Manners Is fashioned with a delicacy and rare con- ception of the artistle that makes it one of the most . enjoyable character-parts ever seen here. . .
