Newspaper Page Text. I J : y THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, ' SUNDAY MORNING, ' AUGUST 7. 1904. 13 Summer Tke atric als at (By AIM Bale.) ONDON. July St. I don't believe that Melba herself could chirp In liquid iciuc? from a. donkey- MCk. '...-.. I resolutely decline to plcturt the ; portly,, yet cultivated Clave, sitting; In a .'.'swing; and twittering; melodiously ea'shs mil propelled to and ' fro In seasick-y rhythm by an affectionate tenor. Pattt, In her heyday,, never monkeyed with her vocal equipment In such, a way. "As for the stout German' frau who ex ,hauats herself for tha .sweet sak of Warner well, she, too, might balk at , the Idea of- a donkey and a swing:. Cunnlnir little Ruth Vincent, the new George Edwardes gell, whom we saw ' land applauded last season at the JJroaA- - .way theatre. In the more or Mm melllflu , ous "Medal and the " Maid," achieves . these strange feats In the new Messagar eomlo opera "Veronlque." at the Apollo - theatre. Undaunted, . and In limpid, vin , .sophisticated, ingenuous, reluctant 'maidenhood, little Miss Vincent gives London these new wrinkles, and pushes forward a work that Is almost too "good": to be. "popular," and too worthy 'to d compared with the ordinary run Of Mr. Edwardes' productions. .; However, the donkey at the Apollo, be haves himself far better than the aver age low comedian would da He steals none of Miss Vincent's thunder. He Is not. endeavoring to capture Irrelevant . laughs while the little lady sings, and thus break her np. Although a donkey . ' Is unusual In the outfit of the comic opera prlma-donna, I ahould think. Jhat she would infinitely prefer him mute, in glorious docility to the human antics of - a Jlmmle Powers or a Bam Bernard. . "Man transformed Iqto an ass Is ons of tha Immemorial fictions of antiquity,' ' wrote my nimble colleague. Henri Peno au 1301s, in mess very voiumni a iiv months ago. "It came from tha depths ' of the Mlleelan fables Into the novel of . Lucius, and tha "Metamorphoses' . of Jtpulelus.". , . i Therefore,' we need feel no compunc tions at the transformation of the ass Into the comedian, and Miss Vlncent may be photographed. In all sincerity, ' sitting pleasantly on tha donkey's back ' and singing tuneful ditties from that i vantage point. ' j - This Is what she sings, and when f tell you thst It took three- men not : three donkeys to write It, you may wonder why I remarked above thst "Veronlque" was so far superior to the usual George Edwardes production. Tou may even ask yourself what inferiority could possibly be. Listen: Trot here and there! Taka care. take caret . ; , ' . Never slipping,' Never tripping. ' '""',' Dear little donkeyt ' t . . t Trotting here. and there. Take care, take caret . A bunch of carrots soon shall be your ' fsrel, . A, Vanloo'and R. Duval wrote this In ' French, and Harry Hamilton adapted It into English. All three are men. Per sonally. I can't help thinking and Mr. ' du Bols will, I am sure, defend me that the ass. or the Apotto stage could have written something better. How ever, It was worth the price of admis sion to hear the pathos, tha eoolng fervor, and the sweet apostrophe In lit tle Miss Vincent's admirable voice, as . she sang "Dear Little Donkeyt," It was almost touching that -"Dear- Lit Ue Donkeyt" The second" feat, noted above, 'was tha "swing song." Little Miss Ruth, . seated in a sort of IdeaflsedLConey Isl and seasickness-Imitator, warbles one of ; the prettiest things that Messager has written. The lover In the case, Jar. ' Lawrence Rea, pushes the swing back- CIURLES MACKAT, WITH THH ward and forward: It crens In ominous threat; she sticks forth her pretty little tootsy-wootsies as he swings her higher and hla-her, but never once does her voice falter, or the accuracy and sweet ness of her tones diminish. Ton hold ' your breath and wonder what would happen if she came a cropper, but she . has no such feat and the eplsods ends aa merrily as it began. - Miss Vincent has no avoirdupois' worth speaking of. . and tha occasion cannot be aald to suffer from undue strain. . . Tet "Veronlque" Is worthy. It Is genuine comlo opera, o'f tha old-fashioned brand. Mr. Edwardes Is trying to .elevate himself by Its means. With "Veronlque" and the now defunct . "Duchessof Dantalg" In his record, he can proudly ssy that he wants to be a good boy. If tha London pub! la will only allow Ik Will itf That remains to be seen. , There are charming melodies In Vero nlque." We onre had a doaa of Meass ger in New Tork.'when we heard, anl , didn't like, "La Basoche," at the Cosmo.

Dreggy though tha thing may be in- spots, and ruthlessly ' English as its .. prime comedian, Mr. George fcraves, undoubt edly Is, I think I'd sooier have "Vero nlque" than the portentous spectacular glory 'The Clngulee." .

On their little Iron-shod heels I wss Arm on my feet and trotted from one end of Paris to the other." Sha also smoked In publlo cigarettes- even cigars ao thst her teeth were much discolored. It was this outward mannlshness that won for her the title of "Illustrious Hybrid." However, her handa were beautifully feminine. "It waa." says one who knew her, "a dell cate hand, all grace, tact, flrmneaa snd flexibility, One could not dream of a more perfect combination of the French working class woman's and the aristo crats or royal lady's hand.' It will be recalled that George Sand boasted: The brood of kings Is mixed in my veins with the blood of the poor and lowly."

The Oregon state build ing Is certainly unique In atyle of archi tecture, but when compared with the other, state buildings It is "poverty. It 1m very fortunate that a larger sum was not allowed the efficient and courteous gentlemen who have It in' charge. This Is not "knocking," but an expression of reirret. This week a new gold-lettered sign was put up running along tha front part of the building, reading: "Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposi tion. 18ot.'

Then take a ride around the lake and lagoons In either an electric launch or a Venetian gondola; the for mer cost K and the latter to cents.
