Revival of "Mikado" by Gil
bert & Sullivan Festival Co.
, Accorded Generous Wei
come at Heilig Theatre.
Singing tht popular songs of 25 year
f ago, tht tunea bummed and whistled by
tlie then . young- men who are middle
aged today, the Gilbert A Sullivan Fei
ttval company of vocalists oame to the
: Heilig last night and gave an entranc
ing performance and production "The
-Mikado."
, ' One ceasea to wonder, after hearing
the revival of "The Mikado," why the
Gilbert & Sullivan muslo ha . echoed
' down through a quarter of a century,
' lwaya a fresh and tuneful and clean
...as though It were just from the press
, for the ftrat time. There are melodies
running through the score of "The Ml'
' kado that have become claaaica. The
'present generation recognizee them as
. though by Instinct, and to the fathers
and moth era who loved light Opera in
the ".olden days" the muslo must bring
"rev flood of happy memories. '-:-
Oeneroua Welcome Accorded.
The operaa of Sir Gilbert and Sir Sul
llvaa were the "musical comedies" of
the early '80s. They carry the light
-plot, the chorus, the picturesque set
'TTug and the comedy about which the
present day. musical farces revolve,- but
be It aald to the genius and ability of
1 the composers of "The Mikado" and the
allied productions, they did their work
with a thoroughness and an artlsttry
(that makes it doubly attractive even to
this after generation, wearied with a
surfeit of theatrical sham and gilt and
syncopated music,
X generous welcome was accorded the
festival players by last night's splendldd
' audience at the Heilig. There was wel
come for "The Mikado" because of it
elf and Us associations, and there was
welcome for each and every member ot
the well chosen cast of artists and for
the real singing chorus boys and girls.
. The voice and control of Arthur Ald
ridge, as Nankl-Poo, compel attention.
The popularity of DeWolf Hopper was
attested from the moment of his first
appearance as Ko-Ko, lord high execu
tioner, and he responded with one ef
his Inimitable "speeches" between the
acts. Arthur Cunningham as Fish-Tush
was roundly welcomed because of local
associations, and was recognized nona
the less heartily because of his ability.
Eugene Cowles, Pooh-Bah, is admirably
fitted, or at least fits himself admir
ably to his' role. He sings with splen
did effect and has Impelling stage pres
ence. George J. McFarlane, the Mikado,
sang with power and effect and was e'h
cored repeatedly.
The Katlsha of Kate Condon was well
executed. Miss Condon sings powerful
ly and clear. Blanche Duffield. Alice
Brady and Louise Barthel, the three
maids, each sing solo parts bewitch
lngly. UeWolf -Hopper Is as funny In "The
Mikado" as in any of the later day
productions he has made famous. He
still gets the audience on his side, end
then frolics with them rather than at
them. Hoppers curtain speecn was a
gem.
Piece Handsomely Stared.
i The enunciation, resonance of "voice
And easy stage presence of Arthur AU
ridge distinguish him as an artist. Eu
gene Cowles has a powerful, well con
trolled voice, which he usee to effect
both in solo and ensemble.
In the chorus is evidenced the atten
tion to detail of voice selection that
has been followed by the producers in
offering this revival of the Gilbert &.
Sullivan operas. With abbreviated cos
tumes, and ragging eliminated, the
""thorns- commends- attention- and reeog
nltlon on Its merits of voice and training.
"The Mikado" is handsomely staged.

'Avowedly indignant at what they de
clart.la sclflsh and uncallfldd-for stub
bornness on the part of'F. S. Doern
becher, president- and manager of the
Doernbecher Manufacturing company,
Twenty-elghth street and Sandy road,
tha Ross City. Park Improvement league
and the East Side Business Men's club
have adopted resolutions deploring
l)oernbecher's . alleged lack of public
spirit and what they term his unreason
able demand, which has resulted In
blocking progress in the construction of
the Bulllvan gulch sewer.
According to A. II. Metcalf, one of
the resolutions committee of the Kost
City Park Improvement league, Doern
becher is demanding I2G00 damages be
cause the proposed sewer is surveyed
to go. through a section of his holdings
and has secured sn Injunction to pre
vent the city from going on with ths
work. A hearing on this injunction Is
to b held September 3. .
"Bsfors work was started," said Ur.
Metcalf yesterday, ."hit. Doernbocher
gava City Knglneer Hurburt to under
stand that hs would offer no objection
to having the sewer go through his
plant site. All went well until the
sewer work reached his ground,- an J
then he demanded 12600 before he would
let the work be continued. In view of
ths fact that the east side business
men have been largely instrumental in
getting Mr. Doernbecher his start in
Portland, and that the sewer will bene
fit bird as well as. others, we consider
it unfair, and uncalled for that ha should
block ths work."
The resolutions are signed by ths
following committee members represent
ing the Rose City Park Improvement
League: W. A. Lovett, A. II. Metcalf,
O. Q. Ilughson, Floyd Camfli.-ll.
