JAMES PLAYS TO
wmm
Actor's Work in "Merchant of
Venice" Appreciated by
a V the Audience.
. . By E.-t , . . , :
That then are those who have for
: rotten their erstwhile favorite, Louis
sjatncs. and no longer "Jove their Shake-
upon, waa ' evidenced by tha email
.Audience at tha Bungalow )ast night
. Tha same dlfficultloa that bweet tha
, play Sunday night Interfered1 with thi
, auccennf ul performance of 'Tha Mer-
chant of Venlca Inadequacy , of caat
and Inattention to detail.
Thla splendid comedy la made u, of
opeeohea. every word of which la aflame
swlth the electric glow , of varying
, thought In the court acena every chord
in-tha wholt gamut of human feeling
is atrurg . .The fire of the Jews hate
la a fierce as a flaming furnace, while
rortiaa apeech on mercy la aa gentle I
and aoothlng aa the coo of a dove.
To. bs Jed through ,heae llghta a.d
shadows of human foiling, to ace tha
furloua Shylook wither under Portia's
I lowed to go, an appeal that' waa ilka
the wall from a cliarnel house all this
-relieved with the delicious comedy of
M I flrHAnr TV.,, I n A V irlidii la m raw
elation In human emotions that the limi
tation of no performance can obacure.
Louis James" Shylovk la not a worthy
successor to hi a Cardinal Wolsey. His
Bhylock is extraordinary for, Ita dra
matic ardor rather than Its technical
polish. However, Mr.' Jamea entered
fully Into the spirit, of the part and
the grawplng, exacting, and yet withal.
Pitiful old Jew lived in tha fleah. There
wore momenta wwn ha lacked dlrnltv:
Mr. Jamea la not the kind to fall full
length upon the stage successfully.
Ono ot the best things hs does is his
psrtrsyal of anguish over the lose of
hla daughter In art I, and In tha court
srcn, his Ignominious retreat, barring
hla stage fall, la accomplished .with
credit. .
' The burden of the play Mr. "jamea
carries alone. Miss Aphle Jamea gave
promise or an interesting characterlsa
tlon of Portia In her-Initial scene with
Nerlssa, but 'the picture oulckly faded.
Her Portia lacked sincerity and dignity.
and at times, Miss James' mannerisms,
particularly in tha court scene, smacked
strongly of . burlesque, ' , . ,

port That American Express

Five new enterprises durlns- tha n.xt

While he denied reports that tha com
pany has lessed the ground floor of tha
Merrill building, Seventh snd Oak

superintendent of tha newly created
.western division of the American Ex
press com psny, .officially confirmed
statements telling of the entrance of
ths new express carrier Into the west
ern field. . .' ,
The Pacific-Express company, which
has handled ths express business on
ths Ilnss of the Oregon Railroad St Navi
gation company, Oregon Short Una,
Union pacific and branches, wilt quit

pany will tsks over Hs business, and
also that of tha Wells-Fsrgo Express
compsny on the Oregon sV Washington
between Portland ft Puget sound.
With ths beginning of operations on
tha Pacific cooat by the American Ex

In all probability Portland will be se

"We have not yet selected quarters In

be left In ths hands of a general agent
who will be appointed for Portland. No
one has been selected for tha position.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. I.
News wss received yesterdsy of tha
death of Clarence Gore of Medford.
Oore was a- freshman In tha university,
and last fall wss hazed by the sopho
mores at the beginning of tha year. It
wag reported hare that aoms of Gore's
friends not familiar with the ctrcum
atancea had attributed hla fatal sick
ness to tha hexing Incident
Tha belief prevails here that ths hex
ing had nothing to do with Gore con
sumption, as ha Is said to have contract
ad tha disease before entering tha uni
versity. . " " ' ;
Some of ' his , fellow freshmen, who
were based with Gore, ssy that as he
appeared, weak ha waa not roughed by
the aophs and that practically the only
stunt he wsa made to do waa to make
a apeech. tiore left school a week be
fore the Thankaglving recess, and it la
said worked tn a draughty room packing
apples In ths cold weather. This gavs
Mm a severe cold and hs did not return
to college. ' ,
i Gore did not cherish any 111 will
toward the sophs,, and was ana of ths
hssed students to Intercede In behalf of
ths four sophomores who wers dropped
from college. . . , . ,
President Campbell's Statement. ;
When seen yesterdsy relative to ths
death of Clarence W. ' flora, President
Csmpbell said:'
I received word yesterday of ths
death of Clarence . flora. I bad . not
known of any serious Illness, although
hla father wrote ma under data of Jan
uary 10 that his aon would not ba able
tc return to college on account of 111
health. . He had been In college tip to
the Chrlitmas holidays snd had not
as fsr as I know, complained of Illness.
He was steady In his work..'
"flora was one of ths freshmen, -who
were hssed by tha sophomores at ths
opening of college In September, 1B0J.
In the Investigation that followed that
Incident flora told ms personally he
had suffered no Injuries. ,.- . '.' . ' .
"lis treated, the mitter lightly ' and
Interceded, for leniency toward ths
sophomores.''-;.'' ;: .'.." ?. ;
"If v upon further Inquiry any new
fsCts seem to warrant; an Investigation
of it certainly will be made. But at
present I do not believe that there Is
