while Blgnor Ferullo, conductor of El

by the officials with a loving cup.
Ellery'a band waa greateet of the four
which played encasements at the fair.
As to that there can be no Question.
But it came hers on a' contraot which
netted thouaanda of dollara during the
' Inst four weeks of the fair and played
probably two houra a day, actual time,
while DeCaprio. a local musician, waa in
that .peculiar position which compelled

of the administration, , and doubtless
their efforts were appreciated. But If
Ferullo was to receive a loving cup,
could It not have been possible at least
to deonrate DeCaprio with a gold medal T
A fine opportunity was lost and it is not
to be wondered at If .the men under De
Caprio feel that their, chief was slighted.
. But it Is all over now. The fair has
closed: The band has probably dis
banded and the members thereof are
looking for winter engagement.
It can do no harm now to relate the
story or oecaprios "Dixie" mania,

The ' next "speaker' waa California's

began his speech in the same method,
slxallngly tyid with a full and free
manifestation of proud patriotism. The
reporter, than - whom no person In at

cided that "Dixie" should be played.
Accordingly, he wrote on a slip of paper
addressed to the - conductor: "Play

signed it "Goode." As it happened, the
orator finished by reciting a few lines

Mme. Emma Eamet.
The Interest In the forthcoming ap
pearance of the world-famous soprani,
Mme. Emma Karnes, grows apace, and
It Is safe to predict that the house will
resemble those which greeted Nordics
and Bchuraann-Helnk when they first
sang to the Portland public. Inquiries
from out of town muslo lovers have dou
bled within the past two or, three days,
and it Is evident that the dlatanbe from
Albany, Eugene and Salem la to make no
difference whatever to the people who
want to hear the great American singer.
This Is Mme. Kernes' first big concert
tour, and she has met with splendid
receptions everywhere. , Her program
haa not yet reached her managers, Lois
Steers snd Wynn Coman, but they have
been Informed by the New Tork office
thkt It will contafn some of the great

solve, the Hindoo who believed In re
incarnation and who had died happy la

later if he had ever seen heaven, he
answered that be bad in bla dreama.
Broadbent had arso seen heaven in hie
dreama when he waa a boy. a pale, blue
satin heaven which was a very disagree
able place. He asked Keegan what sort
of heaven be saw In his dreama, and
the latter responded: ; - -:
"In my dreama It la a country where
the state la the church, and the church
(he people, three In one . and one In
three." It la a commonwealth in which
work 1a play and play is life, three in
one and one In three. It. la a temple
in which the priest Is the worshipper
and the 'worshipper the worshipped,
three In one and one in three. The
rhead In which aU Ufa Is human and
humanity divine, three la one and
one In three." . J
- Here you 'have a Shaw seen all too
rarely, Shaw exquisitely beautiful. The
next minute you are tossed to the earth
again In a love scene as crude aa It is
impossible. Nora is waiting at . the
tower, 'longing and hoping that lArry
will- come to her. Instead, there eomea
Broadbent. who, though he baa never
seen the young. lady before, there and
then makes loye tq her, proposing mar
riage on the spot. At first she takes It
as a Joke; then she Is offended. Final
ly she tells Broadbent that be la drunk
and actually convinces him that be la,
gently leading him home on her arm.
And you 'are inclined to be charitable
and let the scene go at that '
More Politics, : t '
Act three you have the lawn In front
of the home of Larry's father. This
whole act Is nothing more or less than
a political discussion with sidelights on
English-Irish- politics, English charac
ter and Irish character. You get It all
Liberal and Tory, tariff reform and
home rule, the disestablished church
and the land question, and all the rest
of It that even the fairly well-informed
American can be forgiven for not un
derstanding or caring about 'The scene

with meaning. The six men grouped
in a half circle, drawn from widely
different ranks in life, sitting there
discussing politics, each actuated by a
narrow personal ' selfishness, are notn
splendidly conceived and executed. , But
after all such a discussion bss precious

only to the degree that you una tne
Englishman 'eelae the moment to put
forth hie own candidacy to repreeent
such a constituency. In a harangue,
through which even the most ignorant
can aee, bat which wins out none the
less.' Here, too. yon witness again that
perfect adaptability of the isngnsnman,
who in a moment has turned thoroughly
Irish, crying forth that he would like
to become a naturalised .Irishman, feel
inc his way in his speech, covering a
lofty aentlinent with a special Instance

Celt and Briton. ' ''
The 'last act, which ends this "strange,
uneventful 'history," discloses the
coarseness ' and brutality of ' certain
phases of the so-called Irish humor
and a no less disagreeable-scene be
tween Larry and - Nora. If one took
thla laat acene aerloualy and there is
precious little humor in it there could
scarcely be imagined a more repellant
interview than that between the girt
who has loved this man for years and
who ia now thrown over by htm In a
way to take from her every ahred of
pride and self-respect. But even such
feellnx Mr. Shaw will not permit his
audience, for Larry has scarcely paaaed
through the door when In comes Mr.
Broadbent seea Nora crying, catches
her In his. arms and with a "cry on my
cheat" draws her to him. And the lady
actually consents to marry him.
There la a bit more after that An
other glimpse of Broadbent, who Is al
ready making hia fiancee help him In
his electioneering. . He Insists that sne
shall call even on the poorest voter, a
thing which she reeenta. But he will
not listen.' "We must be thoroughly
democratic," he says, "and patronise
every one without distinction." 8atlre
can go no finer than that There Is an
other speech or two, a final view or
Peter Keegan and a last arraignment
of the two races the Englishman, "so
clever in Als foolishness, and the Irish
man, "so foolish- in his cleverness. -

This play had a great success in Lon
don, where It made something of a sen-
tlon. That may all be, for the ques
tions which It discusses are cloee to
the general life there and they may
stand for a sermon on the stags in
lieu of play since it touches matters
vital to them. We over here, however,
can feel little 'or no interest in all
these things. We' go to theatre to
hear a story, to be Interested or amused.
"John Bull's Other Island" has no story
for us. It has little thst Interests us.
The most we can get out of It Is to be
amused, and we are' not even that at
every minute. The wit comes in flashes
here and there, but it is sandwiched
with long tirades. Certain remarks
cling, certain remarks that are as bril
liant as any .even Shaw has ever writ
ten. Some, -too, are full of poetry and
charm. Take, for example, any of Kee-
gan'a sentences or that pathetic ques
tion of his: "Do you feel at home 111

such lines as "don't be paradoxical. It

may himself not be so very far from
his typlral Irishman, destroying his own

has slept on ihe sofa at Larry's home

looks for a consistent moving piece of
dramatic literature, lntenae in action
and 'story, had" better for the present
keep away from the theatre over whose
entrance now hang the pictures of Qar
rick and Daly.
A word remains to be ssld about tne
acting. These roles ars not easy 10
play and that they, were done se well
as they are Is a matter of nvrtt. Mr.
Daly haa never appeared to better ad
vantage. Hla Larry waa done with a
finality that made It as convincing ss
It could be. Mr. Dodson Mitchell aa
Broadbent was somewhat voclferoua. yet
did a lot with the part. ' Two exquisite
Mts of characterisation were' those of
the two prlestsv- one frocked and the
other unfrocked, the one taken by Mr.
Price and" the other by Mr. Farren.
There were others, too. who had but
small narta and yet made much of them.
The play Is thus splendidly scted snd It
Is beautifully staged. All It lacks Is
vital gripping fores, a theme of general
appeal and characters of convincing
reality which Is certainly enough. And
of course. In Judging this play It must
be understood that we are Judging It
entirely from the American standpoint.
legitimate and neceseary standpoint
since It le being presented on the Amer
ican etage and must rely upon American
natronase for Its support. It Is thus
an Interesting study of characteristics
of the Irish and the Engiian ana Mr.
flhaw has used all his cleverness In hit
ting at both, for both come out of It
with hard knocks. ,
