The are of adventure Is not yet (one
. by. In a little room on the fourth floor
of the New Grand Central hotel Charles
Cole, an inventor,. Is working; away on
the model fpr an airship with which be
hopes to reach the. magnetic pole and
like another Christopher Columbus, take
possession of It for his native land.
; .4
Mr. Cole has been Interested in air
ships for 18 years, but, the airship Is
to be merely a means' of reaching the
pole. He believes once he Is there, that
he will be able to reclaim all the barren
Ire wastes by harnessing the electricity
which he says is constantly emanating
from the pole to the sun. 1 r
In his room at the hotel Mr. Cole has
' mnf mrtrt a. small model of his pro
posed airship and has alao prepared ex
tensive drawings of It for the construe
tlnn of tbe worklna shin.
He figures on building an airship 150
feet Ions-. -capable of carrying a don
passengers besides iuei, eieciricai
struments and supplies. The shin la
planned on lines radically different from
those used by most . experimenters in
this line. The lifting power is supplied
by hot air Instead of hydrogen gas, and
the propellers, - four In number, are
ranged on the side of the . vessel instead
of In front of and behind it. .,

It is the belief of 'Mr. Cole that he
will be able to use the electricity at
the pole for heat,, light, and power, and
with it wUl be able to melt, the Arctio

His new machine he xpects will have

thus increasing the depth of the deposit

' Florence Robert comedian! T16rne.
Roberta In a play where she hasn't had
a past; , where ahe even doesn't have
to threaten to take any . more aertou
atep than that of going to live tn Har
lem Florence Robert through four acta
without a paroxysm! ? " ' : t
Yes. But If it weren't for th. credul
ous nature of Portland' reading pub
llo. there would be small hop. Of your
believing it. , il
rinninM mnA wrnnrait females hSV
become ao synonymous that moat of the
audience was stunned after the first
act of "Sham" last night They wera o
stunned that they almost thought they
had been stung. True, "dham" had
been advertised as a comedy,, but long
experience with present day comedies,
haa tauaht theatre-roars that the word
has become a delusion ana a snare. The
most utterly outrageous play seen in
Portland this season will biilwi as a
polite comedy. There was nothing m
the nam. to change one's expectation.
And when It dawned upon them that
they were expected to laugh and not to
conceal their modest blushes they really
almost felt hurt There's not the least
doubt In tb. world but that some of
them went home with a grievance.
But all reformers must undergo their
periods of being misunderstood and
Miss Roberts can afford to surprise a
great many people with her new play.
It 1 bright, and clever and sparkling
so far a the dialogue is concerned.
The plot ia a good one and the idea
are not too frothy for enjoyment And
the company carries off the play sur-
Srlslngty well much better than ' It
oes 'Sdra." . .
To particularise Miss Roberts play
Katharine Van Riper, a New York girl,
with a great deal of family and a dis
tressing small income. She la th.
daughter of a spendthrift father and Is
supposed to keep. up her establishment
on 1100 a month and a pearl necklace
which can be void if worst come to
worst
In th first act we see Miss Roberts
and her struggles with the bill colla
tors. Th dialogue throughout this act
is delicious, by far the brightest heard
here thla year. In the second we are
transferred to th house of the Bucks,
Idaho mlneowners breaking into New
York's exclusive set This motive Is
old but is well handled. Enter the son
of the Buck family, also the young
mining engineer who haa charge of the
Buck's copper properties. Of course,
Katherlne chooses the poor but inter
esting engineer.. It is while In conver
sation with him that the 'lesson" if
the play comes in for in spite of the
fervid assurances of th. press agent
to the contrary there la a lesson.
Tom Jeffrey, th. engineer, tells her
that h. hates New Yorkers, whose one
Idea In life seems to be to live as well
as they can and put off paying their
bills as long as they can. He classifies
them a dead beat. Katherlne. sur
rounded by Hhe shams of her life, has
grown to accept them as a matter of
course. The Idea that trades people
should be paid she has always dismissed
as hopelessly plebeian. But as she says,
for the first time in her life ahe has
a conscience. She hopes it will also be
the last and puta It in the same cate
gory with wisdom teeth.
She goes borne, announces that she
is going to sell her necklace, and live
In a Hariem nai, inia inguiiui hum
trophe Is averted by the discovery that
the pearls are also sham. Katherlne
refuses to marry young Buck and as he
foes out the door Jaffrey comes in.
t Is all very nice then, and they start
looking up Chicago connectlona for
Boise-bound trains. .
That Is all right and a very nice end
ing; everyone was prepared to be happy
and enthusiastic. But the doorbell rings
again and it 1 announced that Kath
erlne' hateful aunt hav agreed to
give her $10,000 for her pearl rather
than have it known that they are sham.
Then the curtain goes down and every
one is left In an astonished frame of
mind; too astonished to show delight
)n th rest of the play.
Tha last messaare concerning the
pearls might be eliminated with good
effect It is unnecessary and spolU
final curtain. It was probably Intro
duced to obviate the necessity for Jaf
frey to pay Katherlne' debts, but she
ha announced not 10 minute before
that she wtll not accept a penny from
her aunts and to. take 110,600 for the
necklace would be the veriest accept
ance of alms. .
The play ia also a trifle prolix and a
someone suggested the services of a
eony-reader with an eye to the value
of space would be desirable. There la
a tremendous amount of words, interest
ing words for the most part, dui now
and then idle words, you know not
whence they come. It will need to be
pruned a bit to be the success that Its
merit deserves. But in spite of the lit
tle anti-climax of the last five minutes
of the fourth act and the diffuseness of
the play a a whole is charming and
original. '
