THE PRESS AGENTS
Bliss Countlss at Ilelllg.
Cathrlne Countlss continues her en
joyable summer season to the delight of
Helllg patrons, offering tonight, and
for her fifth week, "The Girl With the
Green Eyes." This Is a bright, spark
ling comedy, and quit the best of all
the human nature satires that the late
Clyde Fitch contributed to our stage
literature. Mlas Counties during her
first month has vastly Increased her
former great popularity by giving ipost
convincing proof of the growth of her
art, and her wonderful versatility In
widely variant roles.
Miss Countlsa, an the foolish, hytrr-
lool bride, known as "The Girl With the
Green Eyes," becnuae of wild, unrea
soning jealousy, will be enabled to com
bine her vlvaoty as the comedienne,
with the force of her emotional strength.
There are many droll and lnughter com
pelling complications caused by young
Mrs. Austin, a very loveable wife but
for her jealous outbursts, fine Is fresh
from the altar, surrounded by her
bridesmaids, when she gives the un
happy bridegroom n taste of what Is
coming to him; and he Is kept In hot
water all through the honeymoon tour
of Europe. What mnkes It worse for
hlm Is the fact- that he gives somi'
color to the young wife's suspicions,
ami Is compelled to suffer unjustly,
while endeavoring to extricate her
scapegrace brother from a matrimonial
mlxup.
Sydney Ayres, as tlie harassed bride
groom, who Is the storm center of the'
domestlo cyclone, has one of the best
and most sympathetic parts that has yej
fallen to him as Miss Countlss populan
leading support. TKere Is a very large
cast, Including more than 10 speaking
parts, and. exceptional opportunity for
modish gowns and the smart, up to dfote
stage mountings that have been so nst-
able durlog this engagement HenryJ
Hall and Laura Adams will be the par
ents of the Jealous bride: John C. Liv
ingstone, the bad hoy of the family, who
causes most of the trouble; Robert
Lawler. the breezy yourg American
sight seer from Peoria) Roy Clements,
the "gassy guide," who pilots the band
of cosmopolitan tourists thrdugli the art
gallery of the Vatican In Rome; Miss
Sinclair, the first of the four buoyant
bridesmaids; Myrtle Langford, the lo

Illinois, with a contempt for the art
treasures of Europe, and our own Mary
Edgett la bar first strong emotional part
as the pretty housemaid, who Is dupod
Into a mock marriage.
From now on, there will be nothing"
but comedies , during th ret of the
summer season that has linked Portland
playgoers closer than ever to their
prime favorite, Cathrlne Counties,
Elsa Ruegger, who for several years
has been counted as the greatest woman
'cellist of the' world, Is first on the bill
to open at the Orpheum tomorrow after
noon. She Is accompanied by Edmond
Llchtensteln, a musical drector of Inter
national reputation. Miss Ruegger has
played here and In Europe with leading
musical organizations and the praUo
showered upon her as a 'cellist Is said
to equal that won by Maud Powell as
a violinist. Miss Rueggr will play
"Noettirn," by Chopin;- "Elegy," by.
Massenet, and "Elves Dance," by Pop
per. For an encore she has been play
ing "Traumerl." Miss Ruegger, hr

Cathrlne CounteeB at the Helllg.
"Thought, being an unseen substance,
the same as electricity and air. Is ab

the favorite young star playing a sum
mer engagement at the Helllg.
Miss To'intlss apparently has ar
rayed her ll?coverlf aflonu the "tluiUKht

water for nearly three minutes and eat
lunch while submerged. In fian Fran
Cisco recently one of the Travllla broth
ers broke the jtiubmerslon record, re
maining under water for 2 minutes and
13 seconds. An Interesting incident in

that the seal rises to the surface for

water without apparent lnconv'enlenca.
The vaudeville seal is billed as 't'he seal
with the human brain." '
