HIE OREGON DAILY -JOURNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING, CCTOEE: BARRYMORE IN,A "LOW-LIFE PLAYLET OF HIS OWN MAKE "BcaucalreV' Wit and Tender ness Entertain Fashionable Heilig Audience. - By E. I. Booth Tarklngton's telling story of the adventures of Monsieur Beaucatre finds no trouble In making: Us war nnywhere. and even In mediocre hands. And. speaking: of Incompetency, it is seldom required of a public to wttf boss the twittering , of : so raw and 1nppr!enced lot f actors end. act resses as1-those -with 'bm i :H has jp '.eased Mr. lipekett ' to 'Surround hlm, self, Bo whatever ; of f pleasure was given the audience at last night's pro ductlon was due to the story, the per fect' staging, the handsome costuming and .the acting of the .star: ,v- V The story has , a sermon bo cautious end , sentiment 1 so Intensely appealing that It wears well. . r The world likes the smell of .the Incognito, and last night's very smart and discriminating audience loll4 In appreciation, though there were, many , well-aimed flings - at men and womeii-.of fashion and quality ' -j-the kind ' who iknow art . when they see the trlce tag. Beaucaire put the ; matter well when he s drops trito hi chair with ' head bent low, after Lady - Mary Carllslethe Peauty of Bath, : has jtlayed him mercilessly. He says. "And live men are Just names."; But, of course, each' little atom of the well groomed audience thought- the tiny stinging little airy shafts of satire and wit and truth were meant for the other fellow. Beaucaire has already attained to many interpretations, that- of tho late Richard Mansfield standing out In bold relief In the "minds of theatre-goers. His peculiarities, graces and prejudlccu fitted hira - peculiarly 'for the -debon-nalre and audacious French gentleman. Trailing along behind thai u Inimitable actor Mr. Hackett gave a visualisation - marked by ease, grace and assurance. The Hackett technique is polished, but never subtle. His Interpretations are Interesting, 'but seldom illuminating. Miss Beatrice Beckley' was f seen as IjBdy Mary Carlisle, and was : even less convincing than In the part f Princess Fiavia, She embodies not only the ap pearance of the faded rose leaves of the heroine, but the acting attributes1 aa welL The remainder of , th cast was never for a moment adequate.:. " . There was much dazzling effect In stage pictures. The' five acta were all brilliantly staged and the costum ing a riot of colorful beauty and extrav agance. ." ' ' Following the fourth act, the ardent admirers of Mr. Hackett called hi in ' before the curtain for a curtain speech. - "A Summer Blizzard." , For the twenty-first week "of their season the popular Edward Armstrong Musical Comedy company bpened at the Lyric theatre' yesterday in a complicated. mixture of nonsense and music,' entitled "A Summer Bllzsard." What the name has to do with the play Is a pussle, but nevertheless it Is a very pleasant, ve hicle for this clever epmpany. As the top liner and feature, Marjorle Mahr again appears in new and novel spe cialty, assisted by the "Temple City Quartet" Marjorle Is carried in a se dan by v the nuartet. arid 'her-very ap pearance is greeted by 'rounds of, ap plause. - She sings "Garden of Rosea" with good taste. This number Is a treat find is encored time 'and time again. The show la very laughable, Dillon. King and Rehn chasing away the blues. Clara Howard Is. to the front again with new songs that are a treat and dresses her part very daintily. The perform ances will .run all week with matinees daily, and the chorus girls' contcH on Friday night . - - , " , For use in mines, an internal com bustion engine has beert Invented ' in Englard in which the ; carburetter . Is omitted, the fuel being sprayed direct ly Into the cylinders,, and, to guard against flame, wire gauze baffles being placed on the Inlet and exhaust. Orpheum Patrons Wonder at "The White Slaver;" Happy With Soldier Fiddlers. : By V. H. P, ' We had thought Lionel Barrymore an actor, but a critical squint at his Or pheum sob-sketch. "The White Slaver" this week,; would indicate that he is al most os bad a player as he is av drama tist Concluding that the actor-dramatist Combination- is -rare, we expected more of this scion of a house of players than an atrociously and - intolerably weak kneed melodrama; loosely and thinly bullded about the proverbial locket and ending With such an Originally con structed climax as a conventional etil leio murder. Happily though we can not imagine upon what melodramatic banana peel might have .slipped the budding playwright r"the polpers" were nilHslng; but "me . chee-ld" was there with all " the , tanH:wenty-thirty accom paniments i of a.' hackihg cough and a stock bottle of furniture polish. . V : , Irt ''The White shaver," Barrymore has attempted to stir, the dregs of the underworld " that' they might gag the dear public. What profit or amusement the audience Of last night extracted from the doing away of, thaf low lived At Kendrlcks In which character we saw McKee Rankin, and a clever player he Js we Uo not know, but we can well Imagine -with what savage Satis faction "would have been welcomed the annihilation of the whole mess of char acters. Entering , into the spirit of the, thing we beg to state, that aa yet the police have no clue as to the Identity of the murderer though they are work ing hard on the case. Doesn't a big trucE horse like me look foolish up here singing' about lover Frank Morrell, "the singing minstrel." asked last - night Frankly, Mr. Morrell. you did. but at that,, your looks are even better than your voice, In Justice It may be said that you pried loose a good measure of applause after some considerable effort Probably this merry little argument would resolve into an ebullition of per sonal resentment because of an evening wasted, were it not for "The Old Soldier Fiddlers," five charming veterans of the Civil war who danced with age stiffened limbs and played with age stiffened fingers old strains that forced Berrymc-re's cutter sketch from mem ory and limned entrancing visions of days past .Four "set"" and ''fiddled" while the- fifth rattled the "bones' In a way thst recompensed the audjenca for the nervous strain imposed by other acts. " "The Old Soldier Fiddlers" alone are a safe bet for our money. ,, ,-, , ... ; m Oil (Continued from Page One.) streets, . .- : ,. . Bowermaa and the Assembly. Prolonged applause greeted the speak er as he entered into a discussion of the assembly. He pointed ;out its dangers and, Its hostility to the direct primary and progressive legislation generally. He showed Bowerman's connection with the Harrlman lines and the. large pnrt played by the Rig Business brigadiers In the assembly. Then he showed how Mr. Bowerman, seeing the revolt against the assembly In the primary election re turns, has tried to get away from the assembly Issue by protesting friendship for the direct primary and for those other principles he and his friends had pledged themselves to fight and destroy.

LOUIWME Cleopatra's Needle That Has Stood for 3000 Years Is Crumbling In Fog. Ixndon, Oct. 18. rFor two and thirty years Cleopatra's Needle has adorned the Thames embankment' and now there are rumors that It is to be removed. The cause of the trouble is the much abused London " atmosphere, which, with its Hninicrv It acid, and its foe. la said to b gradually destroying the sharpness of the hlerogiypnics on wnicn ine paopia oi i'itnnnll pnipd more than 1000 vears ago,' and which had hardly lost their fust freshness when the .Needle was re- moved-to the royal city of Cleopatra a feneration' or so before the beginning- of the Christian Era.. It would.be a thousand pities If the rumors of decay were correct. London ers have come to regard Cleopatra's Needle with almost as much affection as they do the Crystal palace. The story of Its removal to the metropolis aeied their Imagination. The obelisk which withstood the seasons of 8000 years in Egypt has not yielded to 38 years In tin atmosphere of .London, and there is no question of Its decay and its consequent removal to the South Kensington Mu seum, or the British Museum. ' , To Be Cleaned.. Like the statue of Boadlcea and other monuments on the embankment the Needle is under the care of the London County Council, and that authority has decided that it must be (leaned, a pr ctss which takes place at eertaln Inter vals. At the same time, while the scaf folding is erected for cleaning, the op portunity will be taken to maki a thor ough examination of the fous faces of the monument in order to discover If it Is suffering frcm our cllmat.v, What vciild be' done If It were found that t!ie carvings were' crumbling rapidly, has not been decided, but at present it Is not supposed that the process of detei loratlon -is such as to require the re moval of -the monolith. ,:. . ; ' To do away with the .gears and shafts which have wrecked so many airships, the Inventor of a new dirigible In Ger many drives his propellers with dose connected motors, deriving power from A gasoline engine driven generator. r.'USCULAH FHIEST' .' POSHES inSOLEfiCE St. Louis, Oct 18. Rev. Father John A. Tracy, noted baseball fan and hero of many spectacular happenings, includ ing the collapse several years ago of a baseball pavilion at Philadelphia, thrice felled with his fists D. C. Lenlhan, of Sioux City, Iowa, a traveling salesman, who 'subsequently was arrested and locked up.,' " Father Tracy was sitting In front of Lthe American hotel talking with two friends when, according to witnesses, Lenihan stepped up, and addressing an insulting remark to him, struck him in the face. Blood spurted from Father Tracy's nose. Before he could arls from his chair, Lenlhan snatched off the Roman collar, and threw it on the sidewalk; In an Instant Father Tracy was on kls feet, landing first with the r!ghtand then with the left on Lenlhan's Jaw. The salesman fell In a heap. He arose and started again toward the priest. Father Tracy drew back and called for some one to take his place In the fight :. The, men standing around were mo mentarily too excited to respond.?. . 5 - Father Tracy had on his spectacles and as Lenlhan approached he crouched to avoid a possible blow In the eyes. Then, quick as a cat, ha landed another blow on Lenlhan's far unil tfc e't tea man" 'went down a-nln.
