Teature acts as will be assembled on the

even yon esq find suggestive clews to
the Ibsen who was to come later. '
In "Brand" and "Peer Gynt'.'- he la at
the very fullness, of his power and he
touches heights 'which he waa never
after to reach again. " Written In what
waa practically voluntary exile, in des
pair -Aver hla country, living on a mea
ger atljTend,' he composed flrat "Brand"
and afterward ."Peer Gynt." These flrat
brought him aomething like recognition.
Taken In tha narrow sense, these two
plays portray tha Norwegian as Ibsen
wished him and aa he aaw him. Brand
typifying the one and Peer Oynt - the
other. .Tha application goes much far
ther, however, a-fact which -people too
often overlook. In estimating the work
of.thla man. It la forgotten that ao
far from- being provincial he waa cos
mopolitan, that In -'his veins there
omrrsed" " the ; German and - theScotch
blood and well as the Scandinavian,
that ha .passed much of his life In Italy
and Germany. - While ha drew hla char
acters largely from ona race, his teach
ings are based upon conditions common
to society- In general. ( ,
DqptrinVof the Will. - . - . : ; '
L VThus In these ' two epics you sea
clearly," the - foundation atonea of' his
doctrine of the will, that one doctrine
which he hammered at In i every , play
and almost in every "shred, of his writ
ing and In tha promulgation of which
he. waa accused of all aorta of absurdi
ties. - while- tha ' main current of .hla
teachings' was - unheeded and unrecog
nised. This is tha penalty of greatness,
thus to tee-f orever tripped up upon some
petty, technicality, while tha big mo
ments and , events are overlooked and
misprised. -' '
.'And of no man haa this been truer
than of. Ibsen." " He haa been . called
morbid, pessimistic, the prophet of des
pair. -.' He has even been, called the
sponsor for the new woman, a creature
at 'which' he -would' 'have - shuddered.
Nothing could be more unjust. He be
gan as a romanticist, paaaed through
tha aclentlflc; and ended a sort of real
istic 'idealist, ' if - one' may use a para
doxical terror that. is. he was a realist
in details while" tha undercurrents of

WUI Agftinst Heredity. .; j V T ;:
i. That essential struggle, without
which there 'can be no drams, takes in
Ibsen a ' new turn, under such eondl
tlonaInstead of tha mere petty strug
gle, between" what are after all external
forces of little value,' there la In his
play 'the-Tnnrltrnggla.ttie jlrmsle
of - will against heredity,, tha struggle
of 'the different selves which - go- to
make up self. ; Thna. as said'' before,
the will is the keynote to his philosophy
and hla plays may be taken almost aa a
sequence in the study of the will, for
the meat ' part '- the wUI "diseased, be
eauee of having existed In 'false con
ditions. i . .. ... . . ' -.',-. .-.
The straggle In Ibsen's play la then
always ' a - great struggle for. 'rewards
which mean mora jthan life itself, re
wards which mean the attainment' of
self, and - with 1t the mastery of self,
which can alone produce true freedom. '
: "It la the cardinal doctrine of Ibaen."
says Mr., Huneker,. "that we alone can
dorn go to the vaudeville show weut
to see this feature not once but many
times and .the reception of these sing
ers every evening amounted to an ova
tion. Upon the occasion of their see
ond visit they will present a new pro
gram. . Including a major part- of the
opera "Martha" In costume. The per
sonnel of, the Quartet Is ths same as
when here before with ; the exception
that Miss Eleanor Jenkins appears as
soprano. '
Supplementing this big musical fea
ture will he a -lengthy-list of attractive
vaudeville acta.. every .one of them up
to the high standard which Pantages
haa set The great Helen puta on a
new act to Portland.'-She-la ev -14-year-old
- projlgy whose character- work - on
the California, atage has won her a
name. She commands a salary larger
than that of many mature teams and
trloa. The Haalltt trio .are good sing
ers and dancers, Stearna and Jones put
on a good comedy specialty. La Toska
la well known as the greatest of com
edy Jugglers, Jean Wilson will sing a
new illustrated ballad and the olograph
will picture an animated moving-picture
comedy. "That Llmburger Cheese."
The excellent bill of the past week
will be shown for the last time today
with continuous performances. - The
features are the Hunt dog and monkey
circus and Ralph Cummlngs and com
pany, both-big acts, - These are supple
mented by halt a dosen . other atrong
feature. -
f ' . -Hotel Fllm-fUm,"
At the house of mirth, the Star stock
company will put on another - of Its
absurdly comical ' mnstcal farces this
week. -"Hotel Film-Flam" Is ths engag
ing title of the new vehicle. The name
tells a great deal.' The plot, or . what
there la of a plot, relates the adventures
of the guests at a popular resort, where
they are buncoed by confidence men at
every turn. There le lpore atage money
used in this act than would supply a
theatrical bank. . "Hotel Fllm-Flam"
gets dose to nature; the scenes being
taken from real life, but? are exagger
ated Just enough to make them ridicu
lous. The dialogue Ha filled with bright
sayings and local gaga; the situation
come a rapidly as though fired-from a
quick-action- gun. There is never a
moment of quiet or Inactivity. Is "Ho
tel Fllm-Flam" there la always some
thlng doing and some one alwaa being
"done." Musical numbers will be Inter
polated at frequent Intervals snd If tha
plot - Is s found to Interfere "with the
songs, the former must suffer: New
muak-al selections are now being re
hesrsed for the coming attraction. Tbe
chorus of the 8tar stock company Is a
feature. The girls-are young and good
looking, and they are capable singers,
aomething - which cannot . be said of
every chorus which has. appeared la
Portland of recent years. .
For the vaudeville olio there will be

worthy. Taking a leaf out of the note

probably, he has evolved a type of play
which baa become ths standard. ' It has
long been trite to say that his dramas
begin- .where other" plays end; - this Is
hut another reversion to the doctrine
mentioned before.. It Is only after the
small external struggles are over that
the - real struggle , begins,' the struggle
not for mere Jife but,, for self, which Is
the real life.
'. Beginning with the-matinee tomorrow
afternoon, the Lyric will Institute Its
customary change of" bill by Introducing
the charming melodrama,. "Brought to

the elements which go to make a melo
dramatic production most Interesting.
The-play affords a wide range for the
display -of .. talefft. aa many- of the
scenes ' are required to be enacted in
astrenuouabutat.thesametlme In
a most natural, manner. The oppor
tunity for-true character portrayal and
pathetio effect Is well supplied. Mr.
Fanning will be seen a Robert and Mr.
Connors as Phil. Mr. Ashton will be
known ae the blind general, while Miss
Branscomb ' will be seen as-Sally, and
Mias Howard will appear In tha part
of Brenda. 'It Is generally understood
that where the name of Connors ap
pears there will -be sf forded an oppor
tunity for the enjoyment of first-class
comedy. " '
The Illustrated songs and moving
pictures will be by Mr. Joe Thompson,
snd are of a most excellent character.
San Francisco Earthquake.
: The "great earthquake tn California
nearly destroyed tbe city of San Fran
cisco and caused great havoc elsewhere.
The shock came at a little after
o'clock In the morning.
At first the upheaval was slight, but
It grew to Intensity until buildings be
gan to fall and their terrified Inmates,
who had fled Into the etreeta, were bur
ied In the ruina. - -
To tha destruction directly cauaed by
the earthquake waa added a far greater
deatructlonn by Ore. The watermalna
were broken by the shocks, so that the
water supply wss wholly cut off. Fires
broke out at different points, but the
only hope of checking lay In blowing
up with dynamite the buildings In their
way and this did not avail. The flames
swept on uncontrolled over great areaa
of the heat . business and : residential
sections. -, ;,''
It is difficult to write both temporar
ily and adequately of ml calamity ao ter
rible as that which haa visited San
Francisco. Taken as a whole It has ao
parallel In history. :
The great fire in London In 1646 some
what surpassed iif in the number of
people rendered homeless. - There - have
been earthquakes, as. for exsmple. the
famous one at Lisbon In 178&, which
nave caused a vastly greater Toaa . of j
ins. bui in me extern or city terri
tory' burned over and In property loss
no other fire haa approached it in mag
nitude. "
It Is ths appalling combination of tha
sudden . destruction of ao. many Uvea,
of a whole -city driven Into the atreeta
by fire and compelled tn dwell In tents,
snd in tbe loss of hundreds of million
of dollars' worth of property In msny
cases the all of the losers that this
dreadful dlssster stands unique. .

Mr. Blchel moved hla high class stock

this state. The Isrgest sections of the
Plata glass windows are 10 feet wide by
11 H high, the largeat Jn' Ihe cltj-rasi
