OwI Dg Co- Inc- Cor- Seventh and Washington streets. The Bungalow theatre shook Its hoo doo last night after two weeks of dark ness owln? to police Interference." The week before last Mayor Simon put the ban on the Jeffries-Johnson fight pic tures. Last week District Attorney Cameron stopped the 'production of the "Great Chinatown Trunk Mystery." So when It was announced that the "Queen of the Moulin Rouge" wo'uld open a week's engagement yesterday there was a rush to the box office on the part of many who thought there might be no second performance of the show. These people had read Samuel Hopkins Adams' magazine artiole on "The Indecent Stage," In which the writer mentioned five plays that In his opinion disgraced the histrionic art. "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" was accorded the honor of leading the quintet lu point of dlsgracefulness. It was somewhat disappointing to the readers of that article to find the "sensational musical production Just as It appeared for one year at the Circle theatre In New York city" devoid of all those features that had been pointed to, as risque. What they saw was a rather innocuous and absolutely spice lees, though perhaps realistic enough, portrayal of the night life of gay Paris. But even this fell flat after our own New Year's eve revel. The Apache dance and drama of the Parts slums a 20-minute Interlude was one of the popular features of last night's performance, but the edge of Its novelty was a little dulled by the fact that It has already appeared here In vaudeville. Like all its predecessors, the "Queen' 1ms a highly unoriginal plot The King of Orcanla Is engaged to the Princess Marotz. The princess and the king have never seen each other, the en gagement having been made by the royal family. The young king pays a visit to the Paris studio where his demure fiancee is studying art Marotz proves too diffident for the ardor of the "kink," who scorns her. Her com panions tell her she is the image of Rose Pompette, a former "queen" of the Moulin Rouge. This person has disappeared from Pan! a for more than a year. Marotz decides to essay the role of the deml-mondatne In order to win back her lover. She succeeds. - Harry Short, who Is quite tall, gives excuse for rriost of the laughs of the piece In a droll presentation of the character of Professor Savourette, pro prietor of an art studio and king pro tem and by mistake. The comedian sings a number of songs, among which Is a funny parody on "Any Little Girl." Grace Foster, as the queen, was re peatedly encored. She sings "Shy Lit tle Violet Blue" especially well. George Myers was called back several times after he had sung "In Orcanla," a tuneful number. The chorus Is large and not at all bad looking. They sing, too. . ... "Chocolate Soldier" at Heilig Teems With Song and . Satire. a musical show the stay Is none too ldng. The humor which Is largely sa tire of the piece will be best appre ciated by those who know their Shaw, But, the music and most of the action is there for anydne to pick up who will. GOGORZA'S VOICE CHARMS. Bernard' Shaw set to' music that would make the "Merry Widow" Jeal ous Is at the Hell'ig. The merger of the Irish dramatist end music is "The Chocolate Soldier." And It's worth com ing far to see and hear. From . the standpoint Of musical worth It has Franz Lehar's effort beaten to a fras ile. And the Shavian humor, if some what' Knellowed and candled by ' the chefs who cooked It over,: Is still! funny and biting. . ' Just because Oscar Straus not the double ."s" Strauss of waltz fame, re member has written music for "The Chocolate Soldier" that Is worthy, don't think It Isn't popular. It Is rather a harsh thing to say that music Is "worthy." "Worthy" music 'quite fre quently puts one to sleep with surpris ing ease. And proud and happy owners of phonographs and who Isn't the own er of a phonograph well know that "My Hero" and "That Would Be Lovely and "The Letter Song" don't put one to sleep, but Instead enchant with their melody and rhythm. ' Even musical peo ple stand 'for tnem with surprising courage when It Is remembered that this is but- an opera bouffe. That's one trouble. ' It's so confoundedly popular the skating rinks and the Hungry Seven are making It their own. We'll soon loathe It as wo loathe other things that in themselves are delightful. So you'd better make the most of It and enjoy the Straus airs while you've still the patience to 'sit them through. The Whitney ' Opera company, which is presenting the opera here. Is excel lently cast as to singing ability, par ticularly with the two principals, An toinette Kopetzky and John R. Phillips Miss Kopetzky has a charming voice and uses It well. "The Chocolate Sol dier" makes unuRual demands for the ability of "voice acting." the expression of humor not alone with contume and expression, but with the notes of Its music. And In this Miss K. It's easier that way Is proficient. Phillips as the soldier who carries chocolate drops In place of cartridges, has a splendid voice for the role, while linn Rcrgere and Frank Belcher sing and act capably Margaret Crawford as a mother doesn't seem Just happy; her smile Is uncer tain. Edmund Mulcahy, who is, papa might be trimmed with some improve ment. The chorus sings and dances excellently on the few occasions when such things are demanded of It notab ly the finale of the second act Indeed so popular was this finale last night the encore hogs nearly choked In their efforts to get more of It demands which the company quite sensibly de clined to accede to. It Is really .unnecessary to force the resinglng of many of 'The Chocolate Soldier" songs. They are repeated in the score and the more popular, airs are heard again and again as the opera progresses. The Chocolate 8oldler" will be at the Helllg all week. For so delightful COLLEGE GY MNASIUM AT DALLAS BURNS !!7000 Enthusiastic Audience Greets Great Baritone at Masonic Temple. It was a musical and enthusiastic. audience indeed that braved the cold weather yesterday afternoon to hear the return oonoert recital of Emilia de Gogorza, The Masonlo Temple was not filled, but the attendance was not poor considering the time, the , place and the weather. The Spanish baritone has recovered from the cold he caught traveling week before last from Portland to Seattle and was In as good voice yesterday asat the time of his former appearance in the Helllg, and Jie sang aa charmingly and effectively. There were II recalls. He could, have had mora nad h shown ln cllnatlen to trot back and forth the considerable distance to the center of the platform. Gogorza understands his audience and responded with Just enough encores to make the recital altogether interesting and pleasing. y Yesterday's program differed from that rendered at the Heillg concert with the exception of three German and two. Spanish songs, and the prologue from "Pagllaccl," all by ' request, and these will certainly bear repetition any time Gogorza comes to Portland.
