The Bakerttea, it la ttrue. gave us an excellent production ' ' of Henry V. Esmond' beautiful play. , "When We Were Twenty-One." In It - jthe company did the best work f the , present season. Edgar Baume and Don ) aid Bowles, -as Dick and the Imp re .' , apectlvely did artlatlo work. Bowles, per ' baps, won the lion's share of the honors from the audience. The Imp Is a role .tbeA nine times out of ten overshadows .the part of Dick, the legitimate lead of , '. the play, and such waa the ch last . iek. Miss Lawrence, as Phyllis waa 'passably good.

The full strength of the company 'and the services- of many supers are necessary for the pro? ductlon. The scenery-end or the play Is promised to be . up to the Baker standard.

He baa with him a large road company, many well-known people being In the cast "The Geniua" ha been pronounced by eastsm critics to be a good vehicle for the stsr. It' Is a comedy-drama on the lines Goodwin adores, and exemplifies a merry mlxup that la caused by a trivial misunderstanding. . . Sailora Will Gire Big' Minatrel Show. . -. Tomorrow night the jarklea from the cruiser Chicago and the gunboat Prince- strel entertainment st the . Empire , for the benefit of the Seamen's Institute. In ths cast are several men who are by no means amateurs. Jackie have ample- time aboard ship for musical nractlce. and It is well known that some of Uncle Barn's fighting vessel' have In their crews quartets and glee club that would be creditable to a unfverslty. The program to be rendered will be wide in cop. A feature will show a marines' camp on shore. There Will be vaudeville numbers and exhibition drills. Admiral Goodrich sanctions the entertainment and will attend with his staff. Laurel Atkina Makea - . Hit In Character. . Laurel Atkins, with "the Kendall mu sical company, nas gained favorable comment during the past two weeks for her work in character. She haa a pe culiar capacity for this. sort of- work. In her. portrayal last week in "Said Pasha" of the rajah' Insane daughter he won scores of admirers. Miss Bessie TannehllL alio of tha Kendall company, la another good char acter woman, though she "doesn't like to have it mentioned. She Is now singing romantla parts and - scorns chsrsctf r work, but It I known that for a long season in' California ahe played charac ters with such .fidelity ss to gain the praise of the critic. Miss Tannehlll Is not to be blamed for' bar refusiri to act characters; ahe has a voice that de mands a romantic .part, j Lw Portland Audience Cold, " Saya Millar Bacon. J: "Portland audience are cold." aay Millar Bacon. - "la San ryanclsoo you can get a laugh out of any . Joke, no. matter how stale. Every chorus brings twa or three encores. But one thing I true when a Portland audience does laugh or applaud w know that tHa a-, THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, - PORTl AND, , SUNDAY MORNING.

He numbers his friends by the number of his acquaintances. He . haa played In drama as well as comic opera, and haa mads .good In all sorts of roles. He takes his work seriously,, and labora hard to make the moat out of a role. At etoaS range, MlUr- Bacon Is pVeeelng. - .. -Daughter Play at Her Mother'a Side. ' . Few people who saw the Bakerltea' production of "When -We Were Twenty One" laat week realised that In the Cast waa daunghter of Lillian Lawrence; yet such was ths case. And the daugh ter, from the little work she does, gives Indlcatlona of one day stepping Into her mother's little shoes and carrying an audience off tta feet. Tha daughter doe not look - unlike her talented mother. "eTnrTwliTcH lgTaytrig-thatTrtis la by no means Plain looking. She will appear In other play during the pres ent. season. In this -week's -production for instance, and it Is up to those in terested to try to pick Juw .put. by com' paring Lillian LawaSnce'a face with that of every other woman in the company. w - -Bakerltea May Play' "Uncle Tom'a Cabin." ' Before the end of their present sea son ths Bakerltes will put on a mam moth , production of ' "Uncle Tom's Cabin," just, to show that they can do It. While the play la ao old that it has become tb principal aaast of barn. storming companies, there remains the fact that for pure dramatic quality It haa few superiors. The plan of the Bakerltea Is to have Dot Bernard play Topsy and Salnpolla make the gallery mw as Simon Legree. There will be a bunch -of bloodhound u chase Ellaa across the loe end a gang of negroes to give a realistic . touch to the per formance. And there will be magnifi cent scenery. -', Harris and Bacon Meet Once More. Behind the scenes at the Helllg Wed nesday ,there waa a pathetic meeting between Millar Baoon of the Kendall musical company and William Harris of the Bakerltes. It seem thst they knew each other long years ago, when both were 1 playing In the same company. Millar Bacon didn't recognise Harris at first, but whsa he did he exclaimed: - "Blltryou'" fat IT '"Get plenty to eat up her,'' responded Hsrrhi.. . , ... . "Understand you arln drama now; you were In opera last time I saw you." "And you were in drama then and are In opera now," replied Harris. - "Just wait a minute; I'll be off in a short time. We'll walk down to the comer." . "Same old deal bracer -after the show," - laughed Harris; and he waited. And In a few minutes the reunion was complete. . -l , , '.'.. w -. Edgar, Baume aa - , Rip Van Winkle. I : . Following "Madam Bans-Gene" the Bakerltes will put on "Rip Van Wtnkls." and friends of the leading man are wondering how he will carry the role -which made the lamented Joseph Jeffer son famous. It seems peculiar for a company like the Bakerltes to put on such a plsy. The members of ths com pany will be twlated about to fit the eaat. ' There are great acenie poaal blMtle In the mountain canyon scene where Rip take the fatal drink and with Portland' resources at hi elbow Manager Baker will perhapa.be able to glv us. a scene the like of' which- has not been put on in Portland before. But we await Baume' portrayal of Rio. which will be either Tory, good or very" muilni. .. - ' - - V f Orpheura People Will Not Enter Portland. ; " ,'' And now come Dam Rumor with the announcement that the Orph4um people will not get the Baker theatre after all, but that in the Jumble of trust and In. dependents and other influence which direct the up and down of superior vaudeville aomethlng haa happened 19 change the -plans a announced om time sgo.
