Puccini's Adaptation of Be
lasco's "Girl of the Golden
West" Receives Ovation at
The Most in Value The Best in Quality
Opening Night at Heilig.
alf'a. ' ' - ' i - -
Glaconio Puccini's frand opera "The
Qirl of the Oolden West," which opened
at the Helli theatre lat night, drew a
large and fashionable audience. Among
those lii attendance were many persona
who are leaders In social, business and
professional circles. Many handsome
gowns were In evidenoe. , The audience,
taken altogether, was representative of
Portland theatre goers.
The lovers of grand opera who would
prefer to bear a rendition in English
. rather than in Italian had their wish
' fully gratified. -
- "The Girl of the Oolden West" U es
sentially an American production. Ao
tors, soenery, musio and all hay the
The opera la in three acts. The scenes
are laid in California. It Is at the time
. of the great gold rush to the, Oolden
state. Rugged, stalwart, big hearted
and brave miners are depicted In their
habllllments of . the days of "forty
nine." Barroom oene.
The dance hall scene, 'barroom scene
and scene aqong the giant redwood
trees are given with a minuteness of de
tail that at once commanded the ad
miration of the audience. In compos
ing the opera the author, who adapted
the piece from David Belasco's drama,
injected into it all the wild abandon of
the stirring days when a man's word
was law and when vigilance committees
were the judges and executioners. The
bar maid, the poker tables, the villain
and the lover are all shown as In actual
life on the frontier.
Henri Barron sang the leading tenor
parts last night. In the series of tragic
scenes in which the wooer Is shot and
resoued by his lady love, even after the
hangman's noose had been placed about
his neck, he gave a fine exhibition of
emotional singing and acting.
Louisa Vlllanl, soprano, charmed the
audience with her rendition of a part
that required great emotional ability.
8he was applauded generously. Carl
Oantvoort, as Jack Ranch, the sheriff,
assumed the role of the villain.
(Hum of Cards.
One of the most tense moments of
the opera is the game of cards between
the fair Minnie (Mme. Vlllanl) and the
sheriff to decide whether he or the girl's
lover, who lay wounded on the table by
their side, would have the girl's love.
When the last hand at poker had been
dealt and It seemed that the sheriff was
about to win out, the woman by a spec
tacular resort to strategy slipped a
"cold hand" from her stocking, thus
winning the game.
General Artistic Director Giorgio Pol
acco, who conducts the orchestra of 60
pieces, came in for a generous share of
the praise for the masterly manner In
which the musical numbers were ren
dered. At the end of the second act
the conductor shared In the honors
given the leading singers who responded
to frequent curtain calls.

Calvin B. Heilig, manager and owner
of the Heilig theatre, where -the First
Annual- Follies is to be played Thurs
day eight, la not posing in the above
picture as "AJax . Defying the Light
ning." The artist caught Mr. Heilig In
the aot of "covering up paper" for hit
own theatre with that for the Follies.
Dramatio critics say that when a man
ager does that he Is immediately classed
as among the "stagestruck," or is a
candidate for a big Institution In the
vicinity of the city limits of Salem.
Since Mr. Heilig was assigned to the
study of the part of Eliza In "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" he has not been the same.
He now goes along the street muttering
10 nimseir and rerusing to speak to the
bondholders of his theatre.
Last night's rehearsal of the bur
lesque of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" almost
resulted in the announcement of a post
ponement of the Follies. One Of the
bloodhounds from Salem broke from his
leash and chased Uncle Tom in the per

Ward. Off Wrinkle
"Wrinkles are not strangers to me.
but when I acquire such disfigurements
I know how to lose them In a hurry."
A well-known society matron confided
this to me. I had wondered how she,
with her strenuous social duties and
late hours, could so completely ward
off the usual marks of care and dissi
pation. "I don't wear wrinkles In public, nor
those horrid xings beneath the eyes,"
she contlnue'd, "since I've learned what
plain, ordinary saxollte will do. When
any of those hateful marks appear, I
send to the drug store for an ounce of
powdered saxollte and a half pint of
witch hazel. 1 mix the two, bathe my

whole secret. I've never tried anything
that works so miraculously. My chin
