ATTRACTING VISITORS
Mild Oregon Weather Permits Work to Proceed Uninterruptedly
at the Fair and Already Handsome Structures Charm the
Sight and Give Promise of Magnificent Display.
STATE COMMISSION HAS ACCEPTED SEVEN BUILDINGS
The Tremendous Log House, Prospective Home of Forestry Ex
hibit, Draws Wondering Remarks from All Beholders, and
k Is Regarded as One of the Features of Exposition.
With aeven handsome building com
pleted and an army of workman rapidly
erecting the government's templa and
other. It la possible for the visitor on
the I-ewls and Clark; exposition ground
to obtain ton Idea of what the treat
fair will look like, architecturally, at
A prettier sight Is Inconceivable than
that of the group of massive white
structures that appear on every ap
proachable aide of the enclosure, and It
la small wonder thst the number of ad
mission at the gate Increases day by
day. In fair weather or rain.
The officials are thanking the season
of mild Oregon winter for permitting
, th work of building to go on almost
without Interruption, which made poe
sible th completion of most of the
large buildings even ahead of the time
Specified In the contracts. Seven have
already been accepted by the state com
mission and work on the other build
ings Is progressing as rapidly aa money
and architectural aklll can effect. On
the government building workmen are
beginning to nail th staff to the wood
work and the Oregon state building is
Hnlng from its foundation with wonder
ful rapidity.
The paat month has seen much pro
gress In other lines than building. Col.
H- K. Dosch. director of exhibits, John
A. Wakefield, director of concessions,
and H. W. Goode. director general, have
been In the east arranging for exhibits
and concessions and have met with un
qualified success. From the tenor of
their letters it seems safe to predict
that foreign participation In the Lewis
and Clark centennial will fully equal
that of St. Louis, while many of the
national exhibit will be In some ways
superior.

In the construction of this log palace

fashioned wooden pins.
The forest giants were felled In th
forests bordering on the Columbia river,
after being shorn of their branches they
were placed in cradles to guard against
the bark being torn off and drawn to the

large raft and floated down the river.
From the Columbia river the loga were
guided into the Willamette river. From
this stream they were floated st high

KW YORK, Dec. . Have you
ever heard the gushing girl re
mark: "He has had auch won
derful experiences, be could
writ a wonderful book?'' The remark
used to be much more common than It
is now, for of -cedent years it would
" everyone who has had any
I, of Mrenc, Kna tno who ynl
pari
hava written books. iOvery man has at
least on book In him," someone has aaid
and all th efforts of th publishers
hav been directed toward calling out
that one book. Nor hav they been con
tent with this, but hav gone on de
manding more and more books from men
who had but one within them. And the
result T We hav today praclous little
real literature and almost no novel. In
stead we hav stories of superficial
cleverness and slovenly workmanship.
Of course it Is absurd to think that
simply because a msn has had a certain
amount of experience, or rather ad
venture, h can writ a novel. Experi
ence must In tb first plac be assimi
lated, and secondly It must be cata
logued and placed In Its right position
and proper bearing. A man may hav
all th adventure possible to on life,
and come out of it without a bit of addi
tional real knowledge and without know
ing its valu. Finally if h Is to pre
sent it in the proper light to others he
must hav a certain amount of mastery
over th crude technique of Writing. To
think or to maintain that without these
he can write a good book Is as stupid as
to declare -that simply because a man
has worked In a piano factory he should
be a great composer.
Everybody Writes.
All of this sounds naturally vary trIU
and on th spur of th moment extra
neoua. As a matter of fact, each day
forces new recognition of its potency.
We ar overloaded by rubblah from th
presses and young girls ar eagerly
reading book that ar Immoral in their
romantic unreality and their lack or
verity both as to character and con
dltlona. Because they ar not indeli
cate they ar allowed to pass when in
truth they do more harm than the out-and-out
spade-, ailing works.
In no medium of lltaratur I this
tendency more apparent than In the
drama; and never for the moment forget
that the drama Is a literary form, prob
ably the highest. It la a poor but re
spectable family thess days that has not
a dramatist in it. Any and every man
thinks that he can write a stay- Evan
they who balk at the novel have rushed
into the drama. It looks ao simple.
and the returns ar so great. Not one
in ten .thousand has even a glimmer or
literary instinct. And of thos who suc
ceed In having their plays accepted, the
percentage who really have Ideals and
Ideas is-very small. For the most part
th product is th ever-same theatrical
stuff, fairly thrown together In a moat
mechanical way until you can almoat
hear the creaking of th wheals.
Occasionally out of th great mass of
mediocrity there springs a man with a
freshness and. originality, and Immedi
ately we all acclaim him as a writer of
promise. Such a man ls"Hubrt Henry
Davis
A Writer of Poetic Comedy.
So far we have seen three pice of
this young Englishman's workmanship
"Cynthia." produced by Miss Elsl de
Wolf: "Cousin Kate." in which Miss Bar-
rvmore aDoeared last year, and "Mrs
GoVrTnge J T Necklace." which Sir Charles
YVvndham has Just shown us. Through
ail of thes thwr runs a ntc spirit of
humor, fresh and bubbling and away
from th beaten track. Spontaneity la
apparent to all. There Is no forcing of
points and accentuating of th obvloua.
Best of all, about everything there is a
pretty atmosphsre of fancy which might
Justly be called potlc.
No wondr Mr. Davles la regarded aa
a real acquisition to th list of writers
for the stag. That exquisite second
scene in "Cousin Kate." which re
minded oh tvf a fairy tale for grown
upa, was as beautiful as it was refresh
ing. Some there might have been who
found Just a trace of auggestlon for It
In that woodland scene of "Th Wilder
ness," which Mtsa Anglln and Mr. Rich
man played ao splendidly a few years
ago. It was not more than a suggestion,
if that, and in no way detracted from
Mr. Davles' credit.
"Mrs. Oorrlnge's Hecklac ."
The same characteristics of delicious
Infections humor are evident In "Mrs.
Oorrlnge's Necklace." which w.s pre
sented last Wednesday night st the Ly
ceum theatre. The character of Mr.
Gorrlnge herself i. delightful in Its
originality and ita truth to a certain
type. As played by Miss Mary Moore
this little lady of featherhead tendencies
never comes upon the stage without
causlnsr a smile and a laugh. She la
such a charming, Inconsequential, butter
fly sort Of creature that It Is Impossi
ble to take her seriously. Even her
pettiness becomes more or less the err
ing of a spoiled child and her vanity
merely an affectation. And when she
says on no provocation save a. a sop
to bsr own vanity, "I hop I will never
forget Mr. Gorrlnge and the dear chil
dren" you see st once all hr "small
ness" and littleness and yet you cannot
for 'the life of you despise her.
In a lesser degree this marked Indi
viduality Of characterisation runs
through all the other characters. Colonel
Jardln and hla wife are excellent exam
plea of eccentric portrayala, the one the
fuasy little man who, once strong and
virile, has gon Into a weak old age,
th other physically robust woman of
"nerves." The seen in which these
characters appear are splendid exam
ples of fresh original comedy.
It Is only when he comes to th seri
ous that Mr. Davles shows his weakness.
And at bottom thla play is or should
be a serious play. Before you even sea
It you sre reminded unconsciously of
that groat story of Du Maapasssnt, "The
Diamond Necklace," which ranks by
many as one of the finest short stories
ever written. Whan yon do witness this
play, though Ita theme Is widely differ
ent and in no way inspired by the story,
you cannot shake off the remembrance.
It clings to you more and more tena
ciously until you are forced to Ahlnk
how surely and vitally the Frenchman
treated his theme and how superficially
and romantically the Englishman treateu
his. The one Is a powerful meaning
thing, the other the mere Interest for
the moment.
Story of th Play.
Her Is th plsy snd you may Judge
for yourself. Mrs. Gorrlnge' necklace
has been stolen while she Is visiting
with tha Jsrdlns. A servant la suspect
ed and a detective Is called In. Th man
who has really stolen th Jewels, how
ever. Is David Cairn, a guest st th
house, and a young man of weak char
acter. David Is In love with Issbel
Kirk. Mrs. Jardln's dsughter. So also
Is one Captain Mowbray, who. discover
Ing that Isabel and David are in love,
saya nothing. Caught In th act of
looking at th necklace, David drops It
Into a Jardiniere. There Mowbray, see
ing him nervously fingering th Jar,
finds It wrapped -up in a handkerchief
snd turna.lt over to th detective Th
detective, recognising th handkerchlsf,
accuses Mowbray of the theft and Mow
bray, to shield hi friend and the woman
he lor, does not deny his guilt. Mean-
whlls David and Isabel hav been se
cretly married, and now more than ever
Mowbray refuses to clear himself.
Things are looking rather serious for
him wnen David shoots himself, first
leaving behind a not confessing hla
guilt.
Of course there ar th element here
for a big play ot vital Interest, a grant
tragedy or a groat problem play. In
stead It becomes precious near melo
drama and In places almost steps th
Una It Is only th perfect acting of
Sir Charles Wyndham and his excellent
company that saves It In th serious
place. For th play Is perfectly acted
and splendidly acted. As for Sir
Charles himself he strengthen In each
new ottering previous Impressions. It
Is a finished, well trained actor of tin
elocutlonory powers, whose work It char
acterised bv thouaht and careful detalt
to which In some subtle way b a?ts
a daah of romance and, poetry. There Is
nothing sensuttonai or neron- aooui nis
acting; It la all simple straightforward
and peculiarly appealing.
Miss Annie Russell seems to be hav
ing quite a tlm In finding suitable
playa "Th Younger Mr. Parllng" of
last year did not. however, diaauad her
and she went to the same source for an
other play thla season. It Is called
"Brother Jacques" and It Is written by
two Frenchmen of literary reputation
HWy Bernstein and Pierre Veber. In
theme It tells tbe story of a little girl,
Genevieve, who la really In love with
a man aomswhat older than heraelf and
whom she has for years called Brother
Jacques. 8h think that this love la
fraternal and only when aha marrlea
doea she dlacover that aha has mad an
awful mistake. Fortunately for her
the marriage waa one of thos "ar-rangd-)y-th-prnts"
affair and tha
young bridegroom is no more in love
with her than ahe Is with him. In fact
b la very much In love with another, a
certain actress. So Genevieve persuades
him Immediately after th marriage
ceremony to run away to hla lady love
and then proceed to try to gat a di
vorce. Meanwhile Brother Jacqu In
order to hide hi love ha gone away to
South America- It should be said that
th reason he did not speak for himself
in the first place was that be was poor
and she was rich. He Is now summoned
back and told that Genevieve has lost
all her money and is helpless and so on.
The denouement Is obvloua
It Is said that the play had a great
success In Paris. It is a harmless lit
tle trifle florid with sentimentality and
unreal enough if you stop to think ot it
To enjoy It properly, however, you must
not stop to think; you must take It all
for granted and plac yourself In th
mood to be amused. In such a frame
you will And enough pleasure In th
play to make th evening worth while
and in addition you will hav th privi
lege df watching th acting of Miss Rus
sell Miss Russell has a remarkable person
ality. It is quite different from that of
any other actress upon the stag. How
attractive it la need not be told to any
one who has seen her. Beyond that per
sonality she Is an actreaa of power and
charm, graceful and appealing In humor
and convincing In pathos. The Engilab
I public dubbed her some year, .go "th.
American Duse'
merited.
The program mils Mr Hackett's new
play in which he appeared at the Lyrle
last Tuesday, "a romantic melodrama"
It is all of that. Mrs. Charles A. Do
remus snd Mr. Ieonldas Weatervelt, who
Wrote" a play for Ralph Stuart last sea
son, are responsible for it. How respon
sible each roust Judge according to his
standards.
"The Fortunes of the King" Is
"founded upon historical Incidents and
characters." Again says th program.)
Its hero Is Charles Stuart, surely on
of th most romantic figure In history.
The scenes ar laid for the first two acts
on the famous Boscobel estate and for
th last two at Bristol and near Shore
ham. Of emu so the atory has to do
with Charlea' attempt to escape Into
France and the vicissitude that beset
him. One Jane Lane suppliea th love
Interest.
The play Is both romantic to a high
degree and melodramatic to a higher
degree; but It has force and action and
It Is In parts very cleverly constructed.
That It Is on th same or comparable
standard with such splendid romantic
melodramas as Dumaa wrote la not for a
minute to be considered. It does-serve,
however, ss an effective vehlcl for Mr.
Hackett. Soto day on will writ a
great play about t his historical figure
for the material la there Meanwhile
It Is not unpleasant to watch Mr. Hack
tt ea. h night treading the mases of this
"romantic melodrama."
Other Performance.
There are three other production to
be chronicled After many delays Mr.
Law Fields opened his new theatre last
Monday in a musical comedy -called Tt
Happened In Nordland." Like his for
mer partner, Mr. Weber, ha seems to
have met with success Also Miss Nanc
O'Neill began the third week of her en
gagement with Thomas Ballsy Aldrlch's
poetic tragedy, "Judith of Bethulla."
Mr. Robert Mantell Inaugurated his stay
at tha Prince with s revival of "Rich
ard III." Mora extended notice of
these productions are reserved for later.
A CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN
Talks to th Point.
"Until about two years ago I had had
piles for about 30 years, at times bleed
Ing and very painful. I got a t0-oent
box of Pyramid Pile Cur at the drug
store, and used it snd was entirely cured;
got another box in case I needed It, and
as the piles did not return In six months
I gave the remedy to a friend of mine
who wanted the doctor to operate to cure
him. My friend aald he woujd use the
"pyramids" but he knew they would do
him no good, but they cured him of piles
of it years' standing. I am free from
piles today, and have bean sine using
Pyramid Pll Cure. I waa captain in the
civil war. Jamea dam. Soldiers'
Home, Cal."
The majority of people labor under th
Impression that an operation Is peces
sry In severe cases of piles, or hem
orrhoids, and Sre very skeptical rsgsrd
Ing th remedial virtue of any me
dlclnsl compound. Testimony Ilk th
