The response here to the play will un doubtedly be as great ns in other west ern cities, for the play comes with as fine as cast and production as one couiyi want. The story of the play follows the book closely, for Hex Beach drew up the outline for t he rly and. assisted in Its elaboration, thus retaining the best and mo. t vital parts of his splen did story. This story, in brief, is as follows : A plot' has been formed to deprive the miners and discoverers of the rich claims at Nome, of tlirlr property under due process of law. These conspirators get the Judge under their thumb and Alexander McNamara, the chief con spirator, goes to Nome to act as re ceiver. Helen Oiesiter. the niece of the Judge goes to Nome bearing letters to Lawyer Struve, which starts the plans. Bhe does not know this, but the nilners are suspicious, fend when Roy Glenlster, the owner of the richest claim, tho Midas, takes her part, the miners turn him down and believe" him in league with the conspirators. Olenister and McN'amara meet and quarrel, but Helen prevents McNamarn from killing Olen ister by timely action. Then Glenlster goes away and returns on Christinas eve. Ho enters the big dance hall as the festivities are at the height. Here Glenister saves the Judjre and McNa mara from being lynched by tho Infuri ated mob, as the report la out that the soldiers will shoot down the miners if they attempt to restake their claims on New Year's eve.

New York, Charles Frohman's production of "The Thief" will come to the Heilig theatre. July 27, 28, 29 and 30. No play in the past quarter century has scored a quicker success than "The Thief." nor known such world-wide pop ularity. The work of a young French rnVi, Henri Bernstein, "The Thief" has tiot only won a tremendous triumph in its author's own Paris but translations of It have been acclaimed upon the Eng- nsn, American, (German. Kusslan, Span ish and Swedish stages. Three great women players. Maaame L.e Bargy in Paris, Irene Vanburgh in London and Margaret Illington in New York, have round in the role or Marie Voysln an opportunity for the most varied exhibi tion of their powers and their most em phatic triumphs.

Miss Anna Bingham is considered the foremost of the girl whistlers and ahe will he the sneclal added attraction SJt the Grand this week, commencing with the new program tomorrow. Miss Bingham, although she has been highly successful with her specialty through out the country, has never appeared professionally before a Portland audi ence and her Initial tngagwment in her native city will be when Sullivan & Considlne present her wlih their all-star vaudeville this week. Miss Bingham was, until comparatively recently, a pupil of the local schools. For the new program Sullivan & Con sidlne have provided many other- nov elties. The headllner will be the Revln Larsen troupe of trapeze artists. These' people come from Kurope and will show the only act of Its kind on the vaudeville stage. Selblni and Grovlni are Jug glers, tumblers and acrobatic bicyclists. Mme. Grovlni performs a remarkable specialty In he way of heavy lifting, which is accomplished with grace and ease. "The Man Outside" Is the title of a musical sketch In which the Apollo quartet appears. The sketch tells a story and In It the various songs are Introduced naturally without being dragged In by the heels. It Is a minia ture musical comedy, with Just a shade of pathos and heart interest.

John 'Webster Melody of Chicago being the author. Dr. Melody, who Is pro fessor of moral theology In the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C, spends hia summers In his home city, and has gathered his material for the sketch at first hand and from per sonal investigation. He was a student of the late Dr. Thomas Bouquillon at the university, and was chosen Mr. Bouquillon's successor after leaving Washington with the intention of tak ing parochial work in Chicago. Dr. Mel ody is regarded as one of the most brilliant of the younger corps of pro fessors. He was selected among many aspirants to contribute papers on the most erudite and profound subjects In the encyclopedia, a work which is re garded as the monumental effort of Catholic American scholarship. Dr. Melody gives a succinct account of the beginnings of the great city. He traces the growth of the region about it, and gives the complete ecclesiasti cal history, with comments on and trib utes to the early pioneers of Catholicity.

Two of the clubs have their grounds laid out under the big sheltering trees of Cen tral park, the other has Its location In Brooklyn. On a pleasant day in Cen tral park 40 or 60 players may be seen who are generally members of either the Union or New York clubs. There l tho greatest rivalry between these two organizations although they never meet in competition. it is purely a social rivalry. The New Tork club is very exclusive, being made up largely of men of great wealth who have retired from business. There is scarcely a young man In either club, and It is not un common to see a group of enthusiastic Flayers not one of whom Is leas' than our-ecore years of aee. The players are all , dandles.

Last week the National Golf Dinks of America, with their principal office in New York, filed articles of incorpora tion. With a capital of $70,000 and tho right to lay out and maintain golf links and clubhouses. The notice attracted little attention in itself except for the raci mat amons: us oirectors are some of New jork s wealthiest men. lnclud mg James stlllmsn. Charles B. Mac Dortald snd William D. Sloans. The association, however, proposes to con struct the most novel and at the same time wonderful golf links In the world. The links will be located on Dong Island, 82 miles from the rdty, and will be In teresting chiefly to golfing experts. The plans of the links is to reproduce as nearly as possible IS of the most noted holes from famous courses In Kurope. For example it is conceded smonr rolfers that some one hole at St. Andrews in Scotland ia without an equal on any links in Amejlca. This hole wtll be reproduced therefore, as nearly as possible, and so will 14 otbep holes be selected and copied from 'dif ferent links. The other three holes which will make up this remarkable 18 hofe course will be novel .but, atrlctly American. The ehih Is to have- other novel feat ures In that no clubhouse Is to be erect ed on th grounds and the links will b mainly scceeslbls by automobiles.

The noted "first niKhter" went to the play at its open ln performance, and to his surprise found a sood Impersonation of hlmsel on the stage as the "Rajah of Broad way." He didn't like It a bit. The real name of this famous "boulvardier is James Buchanan Brady, and he lives in a palatial house on Elahty-slxth street Just off Fifth avenue. BTady is a very wealthy man having made his money as a railroad contractor and car builder, and his love of diamonds earned for him the nickname of Diamond Jim. It Is said that he owns and wears dia monds worth $600,000. When he nears a the theatre on the "first nl ha fairly sparkles with the preclou stones.

Ten natlonaltlea other than American, he says, are rep resented In the archdiocese in the pres ent year. Out of a total of 314 churches. 98 are divided as follows: German, S8; , Polish, 21; Bohemian, i; Italian. 8: Lithuanian. 7; Slovak, 6; Croatian, 6; French, 3; Syrian, 2, and fiuthenlan, 2. The total Catholle population of the archdiocese, which means the Catholic membership In the entire state, is given as 1,200.000. There are 631 priests, 444 secular and 191 rellgtous orders. Of the churches the city of Chicago alone has 176, with 138 In adjoining communi ties. The list of seminaries, convents. colleges. parochial schools, training schools, asylums and induatrial and re form schools Is most Imposing, and shows an amaslng growth In ths 65 years of the Ufa of ths diocese. Dr. Melody paya high tribute to ths spiritual hsads of the archdiocese, who have been primarily concerned In the great development. Of ths present archbishop he says In part: "The administration of Bishop Qulg ley in Buffalo was characterised by a clear, far-reaching discernment. His public spirit had mads him alwaya a controlling power In th community, and he waa particularly alert to the weal of the laboring classes. His me diation In the dock strike of Buffalo In U99 and hie forceful pronounce ments on Socialism were especially noteworthy. In Chicago his talent for mastering details and his regard for due procedure brouaht a new order and system Into the government of the archdiocese while the synod held on December 14, 10$, marked the introduc tion Into the aes of a beneficial legis lation.
