MAKE BEAUTIFUL
Howard Evarts Tweed, of Chi
cago, Agrees With Residents
That Lone Fir Could Be
Greatly Improved.
r Transformation of the ,ons Fir cems
' ; tery Into a modern V parte and beauty
tpot is the tentative plan of a-number
of prominent residents! who have be-
; com Interested with no other motive
v than to aslst In baiytlfylngr the city,
Joseph A.' Strowbrldge Jr. Is at the
head of the movement. He has already
Interested a large number of cemetery
lot owners. A yet . the matter Is in
embryonic state., but. a meeting; of
those Interested is planned as soon as
the preliminary details . are outlined
1 more fully.
' Of particular interest in connection
. wt.i the movement is the presence in
the city at this time Of Howard Evarts
Tweed, landscape architect of Chicago
, and a lecturer of note on civic Improve
ments. Mr.. Tweed, in looking over the
city, .visited the Lone Fir . cemetery,
v Upon a very careful and thorough in
vestigation r he declared it could be
. transformed Into one of the prettiest
' parks in the country and be made .a
erttable beauty spot with lawns, walks
- and shrubbery, . artistically - arranged
, and tileaslng to the eye.
. Can Ba ,Mads Bsautifnl.
x . "The old cemetery, with monuments,
fences, footstones - and 'copings is
. rapidly ; disappearing ,' in .' the modern
v. cities,", said Mr. Tweed in speaking of
this much-neglected subject .''Instead
- we find the "modern burial places large
i. parks, : with walks and ' velvety lawns,
no tombstones to obstruct the view
and no dilapidated fences to offend the
eye. Headstones are placed- flat on the
ground and a., little below the level of
; the sod so' that the lawn mower may
run over it without' difficulty in trim
mlng the lawn. 7
., "Such a cemetery Is easily cared for
and makes a place of great beauty com
pared with the old style graveyard with
its Innumerable unsightly stones. ' Lone
Fir cemetery can be. transformed Into
' a beautiful park." t ;
" Mr. Tweed came here a' few days ago
to see the country and has . already
fallen so deeply in love with the cli
mate that he believes It will eventually
land him here for good. . . -'
"t have vlsltea most places in the
; United . States," Mr, Tweed explained,
- 'but have found no place with a more
suitable climate, in my opinion, ' than
. Portland, i It la the climate that ap--peals
to the lover of nature, for it la,
Indeed, favorable to all vegetation. . I
' believe anything In plant life will grow
'.here, and luxuriantly. The climate of
V England ia often spoken of as being
about right for plants from the tropics
'- as'' well as from the northern regions,
but from my observations so far, I be
Hove Portland's climate Is' far better
adapted than that of England.
, "And I am exceptionally well pleased
with Portland in many other ways, as,
lor instance, its moral tone.
b' Heeds Better C&K f '': :..'0
5 "Its greatest heed today, perhaps. Is
better , street car facilities,' especially
; - on the east side of the river. The
..problem would be solved by a tunnel
-.. under the river.
"The children s playgrounds, I hope,
are only .starters. . These playgrounds
should b9 put up as neighborhood cen
ters, as in the large cities In the east,
with free reading rooms, free baths and
other conveniences. . The city has made
a good start, but it should not rest
, with the start..' .
' -"Portland's possibilities in "the wsy
of parks are not to be excelled. In re-
gard to parks,; I have no suggestion to
., make, because In Park Superintendent
E. T. Mlsche the city has found the
r rlfrht man for th right' place." ,
- Mr;- Tweed "is the authorised ' repre
'. .tentative : of ' the American ,' Civic. aso
, sociatloni with headquarters at Wash-
Ington,. D. C., whose motto to, "For a
, better and more beautiful America,"

STANDBY MISS STARKS

"At a special meeting called by mem
bers, of the V. of A. to discuss the
charges made by Mrs. Electra Winders
in Jier cross charges against her hus
band's divorce. suit It was unanimously
decided to stand by Miss Strks and
protect her- against the unwarranted
attack, as we" believe she is Jnnocent
of .any wrong doing. : We believe In
her integrity and honesty of purpose
and Christian character. '
?E. C. MOTT, Secretary."
; 1'In answer to the article In the Sun
day issue of your paper bearing on the
Winders divorce suit, I notice my name
has been freely used In connection with
' thiS,' CA"'.'"' :
"I wish-' to state that I am perfectly
Innocent and the victim of unprincipled
people. I notice in the cross suit by
Electra Winders that I am accused of
trying to win her .husband's affection,
which Is absolutely false, t have never
at any time that I remember been in
Mr. Winders' company without the
presence of the two women assisting
me in the mission work.
"I understand long before I came here
that there was considerable friction in
the Winders family and it has cul
minated In divorce proceedings and' un
fortunately I have been made the vic
tim of a Jealous woman. . ' t

Starks went to Grants Pass with me

LARGE AUDIENCE
ACTING OF
"The Awakening of Helena
Richie" Play of Emotional A
. ' Depression. .
By & L '
A big audience assembled last night
at the Bungalow to see Margaret Ang
lin in Charlotte Thompson's 1 drama
tisation of Margaret Deland'a novel,
"The Awakening of Helena Richie." The
play has to do with 'one -of those
threadbare principles that is a, waste
of time. It is a play of emotional de
pression,' only made witnessable by the
splendid maneuvers of Miss Anglin,
Helena Is . a woman with . a "past"
She has been married to one man; and
to save herself from being beaten to
death by' him she runs away with a
lover. .'The play opens, while Helena
Is hiding In Old Chester, Pa., where she
receives frequent visits from her lover,
whom '; she pauses , on the neighboring
folk as her brothersmeantime holding
her ear to the ground in anticipation of
her .husband's, death,; v.S -;: '' u;J".: -v ? '
; Through the offices of Dr.' Lavender,
she adopts a child. The neighborhood
learns her ; wretched ' story,1 her, lover
refuses to marry her when she is evebtr
ually free from her marital bonds, and
Dr. Lavender takes the child from her.
Then it is that Helena rises frontthe
mire a, strangely -exalted and repentant
thing apart After v. this bit of , expia
tion, the child is returned to , her, and
Helena puts away her cup of chocolate,
her box of sweets, her bottle of helio
trope and other insignia' of the life of
the courtesan, and becomes a ; sweet
patient and calmly resigned being' of
the respectable sisterhood. ' '-. , '
' There was no vehement weeping, sob
blng and walling from Miss Anglin as
she waded through the frantic episodes
of the Deland novel.' She gave a ten
der, " repressive, and ' always compelling
reading, of thellne8t Her darlngem
ployment Of the commonplace in scenes
of great stress and the audacity with
which she will press the significance
of a dozen lines Into one swift despair
ing cry are Illuminating marks of -the
Anglin method of emotional acting. .
Perhaps the most effective illustra
tion of the ' natural method , of Miss
Anglin was exhibited J In her confes
sional scene with Dr. Lavender, when
the old clergyman tells her that it Is
not to the point that; she loves little
David so much that she cannot bear to
give him up, but does she love him so
much that she can give him up? Can
she who has lived a He teach the child
to tell the, truth? Can she make him
brave, who has herself refused to en
dure? Can: she make' him honorable,
who has deceived them all?
' , Where Caliber Tested.
It- is in this scene that the 'caliber of
the actress ' is tested, and the dignity,
tenderness" and beautiful comprehension
with which she crowned ' her work,
without resorting to the pyrotechnics
of " drenching -;emotionr was av- telling
conception. .,.': ...
The surrounding roles are Interesting.

Orpheum Bill This Week Unin
teresting Compared With
Last Week's Program.
By ,V.'H..P. - - .
; Remembering: seven' superior acts
squandered on the one bill , last week,
patrons of the vaudeville went to the
Orpheum yesterday with palates fixed
for another overdose of unrefined pleas
ure. ; To say they were disappointed
would be putting it mildly. - ,
: Let mercy temper your Judgment, for
the bill Is not wholly bad. It might
even be worse, t- although not , much
worse. But let that be as It may, we
must not forget past pleasures we have
enjoyed . in the show house. . , '
This week's bill is not onethat can
be highly recommended, yet it has sav
ing dualities. Stepp, ; Mehllnger and
King, in a musical muss, do-much to
sweeten ' the , lemon jand set apart from
other players who abuse their privileges
would shine. ' : .
. jack London ladles the expected : in
"A' Wicked Womanj" approaching upon
the border line of smuttlness 'for the
benefit of ' Indifferent : comedy. With
effort born 1 of desperation, : Franklyn
Underwood and Frances Slosson, whom,
fortunately for them, Portland knows
are possessed of ability, fought for the
trickling applause with which they ,were
rewarded. , . (
Lou Anger succeeded in measure in
dolnr so.. Gus Sohlke's Bama girls 1n
"Tpyshop Pastimes" kissed neatly and
wafted out to the audience several dabs
of entertainment. " , - .
Then there were 'three other' acts,
with mbving pictures that also ran and
the Orpheum orchestra. . And If this
isn't tempering with mercy, what Is? -
a, very precocious chlldn was alto
gether loveable, and . Master Hackett
wast "adored for his " natural Muteness
by the audience. One of the most in
terestlng personages in the , cast was1
Halbert Brown's Benjamin Wright' His
unrelenting and forbidding presence
was a dreadful spectre ol contaminated
and worldly sin. Eugene Ormonde, for
merly a well known figure In local
stock, made Lloyd Pryor sufficiently
caddish and 'despicable, .His personal
ity fits the role like a glove. ' Eugene
Shakespeare was good as the silly and
poetic youngster; who commits suicide
when Helena's scarlet sins are revealed
to him. ' .".
... J, "Idolized Ida" Pleases.
'.'.!' . ' By V. H. P. .-' . ? .
Theatregoers who yesterday saw the
opening performances of the week at
the Lyric, where the Armstrong Musical
Comedy company Is Idolizing "Idolized
Ida," and incidentally adding to the
merriment with songs and dances, were
pleased. Perhaps they were pleased be
cause there was plentiful opportunity to
laugh....."...- ... . .' j . .
, "Idoliced Ida." like all the Armstrong
attractions, Is mingled burlesque and
vaudeville, with a stage setting of pret
ty girls and a basis of frivolity. Where
ner-wv,.,,
; it's a Jiquid breeze that " blows away: heat

usually lack of coherency in a plot is
regarded aa a fault,, that looseness in
"Idolized Ida" in the plot you know 1
makes It all the more attractive. - As
a matter of fact the burlesque vaude
ville attraction' has no more of a plot
than is necessary to give it a name.
Ethel Davis and Will Howard scored
in "You and I," Clara .Howard and
chorus in "Whistle When You Walk
Out" were encored and Will Armstrong
in "O'Reilly," was applauded. Other
specialties were enjoyed.
Tonight the Armstrong Musical Com
edy company and vaudeville players
from all the theatres of the city will
participate in the benefit performance
given for Marjory Mahr, Injured chorus
girl, at the Lyric.
