It Is seldom that burleaqua or extrav
agansa allows tha members of tha com-
from the ordinary ataga cleverness, and
tha latest production at Shields' park
'Is interesting because it glvfa several of
the cast opportunity to do aerloua
work, an opportunity that tha performers
made tha moat- of at the Initial per
formance of the piece "Dlavolo Up to
J-ate." The play la a modernising of
"Fra Diavelo" and tha element of serl
ousness la larger than In any of the
preceding Zlnn productions. Tha women
of 'the company took the leading parta
and secured generous applause. Frances
Venlta Orey as Dlavolo, waa popular, aa
aha always Is. and Elaine Forrest did a
bit of fine work In tha second act. that
reminded on of when "Zasa," "Mile.
Kin" and "Sapho" were In their prime.
Tha humor of the play was not for
gotten; and was left la tha hands of
Errol and Fitch ett who provided all
the laughs taat any ' audience bad a
.right to aspect.... , .... . ... .
That tha company la able to awing
from tha burlesque to a play requiting
an entirety different kind of ability, la a
new proof of tha excellence of the troupe

memory "of the klng'a deathbed aa ha

terror In the bosom of Madame Du
Barry when aha was dragged to the
guillotine. For the last view which
we hava of her la that of a coward,
piteous begging for Ufa, not even en
nobled by the near preaence of death.
And ao the Du Barry baa passed Into
history as the successor of Mme. de
Pompadour, a woman, in an aga when
women wielded tha most powerful In
fluence, practically ruling a country.
And your preacher may use bar career
to paint a moral, or your historian to

an amusing - theatre,"- aha aald. "I see
no reanon why a pretty women should
not play a principal part in it" The
prophecy haa been curiously fulfilled
almost to tha letter.
Such a career and auch a character
are by their very nature great theatrical
material. The life of Mme. Du Barry la
essentially theatrical. All tha Ingredi

facta of her experience. Romance, In

wherein as upon a dlasectlng table the
emotlona are analysed; or the romantic
method, somewhat allied to that uaed by
Dumas in "Camilla." wherein tha motiv

while veracity la obtained by realism in

so. Ha baa ahown alma. Du Barry In
her extravagances, her petty foibles, her
thousand and one tricks. Ha hair paint
ed one aide to her nature admirably,
But Mr. Belasco Is a dramatist, not
historian; and ao ha has whitewashed
tha character here and there, tbua sub
tly and cleverly winning sympathy for
hla heroine. He haa. In a- word, made
out tha beat case possible for - her.
Above all. ba haa filled hla ataga -with
pictures of beauty and rich . splendor.
Ha haa used all. his art and all hla skill,
and aa a result he baa written a play
of treat intensity and appeal.
For Mr, Belasco Is a genius In hla
wav. There la no- other dramatist In
America who knows aa ha the tech
nlqua of hla craft No matter how old
or trite the theme.' onca touched by hla
master hand It becomes new and vivid.
"Du Barry" la not In tha atrlct meaning
of tha term, a treat play; but u la an
Intensely Interesting, powerful play of
great acting quality.
It la thla acting quality which la the
keynote to the drama. Given an aotreaa
of the potentiality and power of Mrs.
Carter, and multiply theee by that won
derful presentation of "Zasa," and tha
problem oC writing for her a play la not
elmple ' To say that Mr.- Belasco haa
auoceedVl in solving It la to give hint
high praise Indeed. Mra. Carter again
haa opportunity for Intense emotional
acting, combined with delightful humor,
the. one following ao elosely upon the
other that the tears still glisten In tha
aye while tha laugh tremblea upon the
lips. . . - : :
Mra. Carter la indeed 'wonderful. ' To
think back to "Heart of Maryland," then
to "Zasa," and now "Du Barry' the
progreea la wonderful. There are dub
of acting which once aeen are never

where aha parta from Dufrena, knowa

great acting, acting which la next door

splendid art. An actresg-if great-rtr
tuoslty, ' she can toy gracefully with
humor and yet sound the deepest notea
of pathos and tragedy. Thus, the first
act of last night's play ahowa her full
of sparkle, gay. . buoyant creature
like the butterfly : aha describes her
self. The laat act finds the poor piti
able butterfly broken upon the wheel of
fate, a ehred of her past glory. - Be

whole gamut of -' emotlona, now all
nuance and grace, now Infuriated with
passion and anger, now wrung with
Lgrlef, "and finally beaten, a loser 'In the

hardt for Bernhardt la electric, Mra.
Carter magnetic.. Tha lithe suppleness
of her movements, the abandon, the
nervous artlstlo personality that won
der glory of hair worthy of 'brush of
Titian all combined and perfectly used
with rare skill of a consummate aotreaa,
made her acting splendid. I hare aeen
Mra. Carter a dosen or more tlmea but
never aeen her more brilliant and com
pelling than laat night
Ot tha - remainder of tha company,
Mr. Campbell Gollan deserves especial
mention for a very clover presentation
of the scoundrel, Jean Du Barry. Mr.
Stevenson waa, aa always, aatlsfactory
and more, and Mr. Claude Gllllngwater
aa tha faithful servant Denys, gave a
portrayal full of restraint and poetta
appeal. For tha rest tha company waa
large and adequate and tha entire, pro
duction waa noteworthy for lta smooth
nesa and worthiness. .
A word remains to be aald about tha
theatre. - Tha Columbia la a very pretty
playhouae, cool, airy and refreshing.
Ita color scheme blue, gold and old
Ivory are Intense enough to have char
acter and yet not garish nor cheap.
Tha hangings are elmple, rich and la
good taste. Mayor Williams In a grace
ful speech formally declared tha theatre
open, while the orchestra played "Co
lumbia." The audience waa large and
showed a keen appreciation of tha act
ing, applauding Mra. Carter generously.
Taken all in alt Mr. Welch ahould be
congratulated upon tha inception of hla
undertaking which ahould prove of dle
tlnct value to tha drama and drama lor
era of Portland.
