'Ill c;. iteiii liny loUvil uuaioc muirv in i iuuuv- tion Makes It an Unsavory Affair. Iw. 4 ' By & 3. In ourVrumbls opinion It would have fccen far fcetter for the Bungalow to havf remained dark than, to have housed eome ot thfc things that ave been seen Jhere of late.t Perhaps one of the most uncouth and troad attempts at enter tainment couie to Portland this season Is "Widow Jones,", with Dorothy Morton as the. feature. , . fair sized autJlence of the kind some musical comedy is almost always sure to draw greeted th unsavory affair with much apiIiiuse,-niiil even went so far as to laugh hysterically when Miss Morton advertised her ample proportions ' In some particularly objectlosable way. The piece is a cross section of ugliness, cheap vulgarity. Ignorant noise, bad and time worn jokes, with not a single re lieving 'feature. First comes its sta ges, tlveness, and then its colossal stu pidity two qualities that should rele gate the unhealthy outburst to'the dust bin. . "v.'.. ' '": ' The keynote of its humor is sounded when Widow Jones wishes to relieve her self of an unwelcome suitor, and makes this startling remark, "Put an egg in your -shoe and beat It." And of such choice morsels is the comedy made up. Nor are Miss Dorothy Morton and her associates nice persons. They are in tegral parts of the rubbish with which they are surrounded. Miss Morton is an imitator of May Jrwln, Marie Dress ier, Trixie Frlganza and other 1-a-r-g-e comediennes, whose roly-poly dimen sions, together .with splendid natural gifts for comedy, have been their chief attributes for success. Any comedy in stincts that Miss Morton may. have are so degraded In 'purpose 1n her present carousal behind the fmn';i;ts that there is' nothing l-ft but dimensions. ' This unwelcome affair claims to b a musical comedy, and yet lacks both ruu sic and comedy. In fact; it lacks about everything that goes to make tip entertainment. WAY'S flATAL DAY IS CELEBRATED HERE Norway's Natal day, the seventeenth of May, was celebrated last night under the auspices of the Norwegian Singing society, with a festival of song in Arlon hall. The large auditorium was crowded to the doors. : - ' ,. Last night's celebration was the-first in. the hlstorj in Portland at 'which the Swedish and Danish singing societies assisted at a celebration of Norway's day of independence and then usual ' In dependence, day1,', oration was eliminated from the program. -; v'--- J t .
