OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. ' MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1911. 2 7 wm mm BEFORE BIG THRONG Archbishop Christie Conse ' crates New St. Francis Edifice on E. Pine St. . Archbishop Christie, la the presence of 2000 persona, yesterday morning con secrated the new St Francis church on East Fine street, between East Eleventh and East Twelfth streets. He was as sists by Rer. Abbot Plaldus, of Mount Angel. , who celebrated the pontifical high mass. Rev.. J. H. Blaclt, the pastor; Bishop Glorleux. Of Idaho. Rev. J. J. Conway, - assistant rector, who was maBter of ceremonies. Rev. Father Joseph Gallagher, president of Columbia University; Brother Andrew, president of Christian Brothers College; Rev. Father Rauw, vloar general and a large number of other Cathollo clergymen. The services oommenced at 10:10 o'clock and after the blessing of the church, the large assemblage quickly Ailed the auditorium. The auditorium and altar were ablate with many lights. Rev. Father Black In addressing the con gregation spoke of the past loyalty of the parishioners and urged them to make the event memorable In the history of 8t Francis church. Archbishop Christie congratulated the people on the comple tion of the magnificent edifice and urged that every possible effort be put forth to clear It from debt. The sermon by the archb!hop was a review of the progress- and achievement of the Catho lic church. At the conclusion of the- services a collection was taken and a large sum was realised. Vespers were conducted last night in the auditorium. More than $50,000 has been spent thus far on the structure.

Seventh and Washington streets. The Bungalow theatre shook its hoo doo last night after two weeks of dark nessowing to police interference.' The week before last Mayor Simon put the ban on the Jeffries-Johnson fight pic tures. Last week District Attorney Oamuron stopped the 'production of the "Great Chinatown Trunk Mystery." So when It was announced that the "Queen of ; the Moulin Rouge" wduld 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 artlole on ''The Indecent Stage," in which the writer mentioned five plays that In his opinion disgraced the hlstrlonio art. , 7 "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" was accorded the honor of leading the quintet In point of dlsgracefulness. It was somewhat disappointing to the reader of that article to find the "sensational musical production Just as it appeared for one year at the Circle theatre . lu New . To'rlt- cUy . devoid of all those features that had been pointed to, as risque. What they saw was a rather Innocuous and absolutely splce less, though perhaps reallstlo enough, portrayal of the night life of gay Farla. But even this fell flat after our own New Tear's eve revel. The Apache dance and drama of the Parla slums a t0-mlnute 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' has a highly unoriginal plot. The King of Orcanta Is engaged to the Princess Maroti. 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 Marots 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 Paris for more than a year. Maroti decides to essay the role of the, demi-mondalne In order to win back her lover." She succeeds. Harry 8hort, who la quite tall, gives excuse for most of the laughs of ,the pleoe In a droll presentation of the character of Professor Savourette, pro prietor of an art studio and king pro tem and by mlstaka 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 tlmea 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 long. 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. ii m i in v J ' GOGOItZA'S VOICE CHARMS. Bernard, Shaw set to music that would make the "Merry Widow" Jeal ous is at tlia Heilig. The merger of the Irish dramatist and music Is "The Chocolate Soldier." And It's worth conv ing far, to see and hear. From the standpoint of musical worth it has Franz Lehar's effort beaten to a fraz zle. And the Shavian humor. If some what mellowed and candled , by the chefs who cooked It over, is still funny and biting. Jiim because Oscar Straus not the double "s" Strauss of waltz fame, re member has written music for "The Chocolate Soldier" that la worthy, don't think It Isn't popular. It Is rather a harsh thing to say that muslo 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 Lovely4' and "The Letter Song" don't put one to sleep, but Instead enchant with their melody and rhythm. Even musical peo ple stand for t'nem with surprising courage when It is remembered that this la but an opera bouffe. That one trouble. If s so confoundedly popular the skating rinks and the Hungry Seven are making It their own. Weil soon loathe It as we 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 unusual - demands for the ability of "voice acting," the expression of humor not alone with costume 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 vole for the role, while Hon Bergere 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 reslnglng of raany ctt "The Chooolate Soldier" songs. They are repealed In the score and the more popular, airs are heard again and again as the opera progresses. ' "The Chocolate Soldier" will be at the Heilig; all week. For so delightful COLLEGE GYMNASIUM AT ;$7 DALLAS BURNS Enthusiastic Audience Greet , Great .Baritone at Masonic Temple. It was a musical . and enthuslastio audience Indeed that braved the cold weather yesterday afternoon to hear the return eonoert recital of - EmMe - de Gogorza. . The Masonio 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 aaat the time of his former appearance In the HCIllg, and he sang as charmingly and effectively. There were 1 2 recalls. He could, have had mora nad he 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 intereatlng and pleasing. Yesterday's program differed from that rendered at the Heilig concert with the exception of three German and two. Spanish songs, and the prologue from "Pagllacct," all by reijuest, and these will certainly bear repetition any time Gogorza comes to Portland. .
