DIMMED STAR EMERGING FROM CLOUD
Melbourne MwDowell Shows Some or His Old Form In His Appear ance With the Actress Who Once
Called Portland Her Home. '
V :? ; 'By J. F. S.
S Melbourne McDowell, one time
I co-star, with fanny Davenport,
I - and one o the greatest Antonys
.that ever, played the role of the
Roman general, to ultimately be
. tossed -into the button-moldcr's pot
with those who 'have neither great
virtues nor great sins?
It was a strange Melbourne Mc
. Dowrll that we saw last week in the
little, old theatre with its cramped
stage and motley audience a Mel-
, Tiourne McDowell who had lived and
liad seen life and acted life, and who
had faced death and drunk the cup of
humiliation. That physique, which in
111 I younger days must have been
magnificent and which is still, in
spite of its tendency to heaviness, is
commanding, seemed pitifully out of
: place in the tawdry settings of the
. act. '.And that full, richly toned voice
seemed strauffely out of tune with
; the common noises of a cheap vaude
ville house.
, .? "Have you ever noticed," said a
' f-'fhan the other- day. "that an actor
never speaks of the present? It is
always the past or the future." The
TcnTark was occasioned by overhear
ing two actresses, tcated at a nearby
table in the cafe, remark that last
year they had played to record btui-
- nesi during their Portland engage
ment.
. It is always what an actor has been,
what successes he had in his younger
days or in past seasons, how excel-
lent he was in some other part or
else how great he is going to be. The
retrospective view is paralyzing; the
' present is inconsequential; it is only
' the future that can really result in
expansion and that holds out hope
for the people of the stage.
.
knew the story of Mr. McDow
' ell's past The present was only too
plainly in evidence. The interesting
thing was what the future might ho!!
in store for him. Could he overcome
the years wasted and harder still, the
memories of what he had been, and
rise by stepping stones of his dead
' selves to higher things?
. I lis act was a bad one, in many
"respects, and sinned against good
taste in many more. But that it was
powerfully done could not be denied
when Marius, the slave, stepped
upon the stage the audience felt that
it was looking upon a personage. The
lower jaw was overgrown with flesh.
The hair was white over the temples.
.Hut he stepped with a grace that be
spoke the accomplished actor. &nd
'. the richness of his voice was still im-
Jiressi.ve and inspiring. The eye
lashed clear and true. Only the
mouth gave the impression of weak
ness; the mouth and the lines of the
clnn.
When, later on I met Mr. Me
Dowell in my capacity as interviewer
hi looked the part of a man who was
' lighting to attain something that he
frcatly desired. What that might be
was fortunately spared the impert
inence of asking. The past had left
its stamp, of course. You could ace
it in the pathetic look of the eyes, a
ook that was pathetic in spite of its
directness and resolve, and that
seemed to be inspired by the cry of
' the balls of wool, the materialized

-should st have thought us; hands and
feet thou shouldst have lent us.'"
Perhaps he will struggle back to
himself. And perhaps he will prove
the truth of the buttonmaker's, "To
find thyself is to slay thyself." For
Melbourne McDowell is trying diu-
. gently to find himself.
Everything that was his is cone.

the cheapest of stock companies. But
those are Mr. McDowell's dead selves
perhaps. His present act is the best
work he has done for years. And
he is sticking to it faithfully and
hard, determined to again climb the
ladder which seemed of so little con
sequence years ago. With McDowell,
too, it is no the past, nor the pres
ent, but the future. Like Maeter
linck he has set out ! to meet the
things that are coming to meet him
and to grapple with them as best he
may.
We were Riven a particularly de
lightful view of our friend the devil
last Veek a view that recalled how
freouentlv he used to be seen upon
the stage and how the fashions of
today have practically banished him
from stage society excepting as
polite imprecation now and then.
lit was the devil of childhood s
dreams, the personification of the
first picture of Satan that I ever saw
and the one that has always remained
in memory. It was on the cover of
volume called Horrors of the
Johnstown Flood." which adorned
the center tabic of my dentist's wait
ing room. What the devil had to do
with the Johnstown flood va never
explained. He had not much more
excuse for appearing in "The Black
Crook," but he was there and lent a
cheerful bit of color to the produc
tion, so every one was glad to see
him.
What would the world be without
the devil?. He personifies ambition
and ambition makes life worth the
living. WaS it not for ambition that
the unfortunate red-garbed one was
ejected by Saint Michael? He was a
nuisance probably, as most pverly
ambitious people arc. But it isn't
probable that he was the owner of a
pitch fork at that time. The pitch
fork, we are informed, came later,,
after he so shamelessly took advan
tage of the credulity of Eve that ever
since he has been kept reasonably
busy by her daughters. The forked
tail was probably added to his cos
tume after his shameless nagging of
poor Job. It was the Job incident,
you remember, that settled the ques
tion of Satan's residence in hell. His
badgering of that well-meaning old
polygamist settled his fate once and
for all.
During the middle ages he was ex
tremely active. No drama was com
plete without him. But he hasn't been
at all popular recently. In fact it has
been considered rather bad form o
have him around at all. That is why
we welcomed him so vociferously
upon the occasion of his appearance
at the Heilig last Sunday night. He
was the real thing, with brimstone
and hre-sputtenng pitch fork and all.
But he's not half as black as he's
been painted. For after he had done
his best to secure the souls of the
two lovers, after he had bribed the
Black Crook himself into doing his
will and had caused his hags to
screech their loudest imprecations into
the cars of God-fearing folk he came
out and admitted that it was all no
use. Unfortunately I can't remember
that speech or The Journal would
print it today. But in it he confessed
that the world was getting better all
the time and that vice could not stand
up against virtue. The devil has his
good qualities. He is an optimist.
Wasn't it Robert Burns who wrote to
his fellow-sinner exhorting him to
repentance:
"But fare you weel, auld Nickie-Ben!

They all got out of the wreck without
being seriously Injured, although Mr.
Oboe's back waa hurt and sometimes
pains him In the night. A week or so
ago Obee was caught in a country hotel
and forced to share his room with a
traveling man. When he had been
asleep some hours Obee waa awakened
by bavins; his bed-fellow shake him
roughly and peering anxiously Into his
face say, "Good heavens man! What
havo you done? Hadn't you better get It
off your conscience? Tell It to the
sheriff!"
Obee unconsciously moaned nil
through the night and the traveling man
guppoBed that he was sleeping with a
conscience-stricken criminal. But the
theatrical man shies now whenever a
sheriff Is mentioned In his hearing.

"Would I want to be a boy? Well, I
should say not!" Thus, in no uncertain
tones did Miss Ruth Whitestar of "The
Burgomaster" company which comes to
the Heilig next Sunday night who plays
the role of Willie, Van Astorbtlt in that
production, rise up In defense of her
sex and express .her abhorrence of
masculinity with a reservation, of
course.
Miss White played the role of Willie
in tne original Burgomaster ' comnanv
