Mr. Fries la one of Lasky's Six Hoboes, on th am bill at Pantages with Miss Marshall and 1-ottle Mayer and their UivliiK nymphs. The wedding was to have taken phue In Seattle, and prepa rations were being made accordingly, but it was solemnized in Spokane ahead of time on a dare, when one of Out men on the bill told the young couple be would pay their expenses If fticy would be niariwl that morning they were.

She is the especial pride of the Woman's Annex of the club, and baa to her credit a J number of Northwest records for fancy diving and r.O yard dashes. She was instructor of swimming at Oearhart for one summer before going on the atage. Preceding the New York appearance Of Margaret Anglin in "The Taming of the Shrew," Alan Dale made an inter esting comment as follows: o now we are to get the inspiration for at least three recent plays, and that Inspiration is nothing more nor less than our old friend, "The Taming 1 szm ) A ". 4B iiSic ' I 1 f if HIGH COST OF ART FOUGHT IN GERMANY Productions of Masters May Be -Seen in Theatres- at Low Prices, CALENDAR OF THIS WEEK'S ATTRACTIONS HKILia Eleventh and Mor rlHou.

Miss Maxine Elliot, above, and Anthony Wilding, to whom sfie is reported engaged. Tvyo Interesting reports are going the rounds about Maxine Elliot, the beautiful American actress. One is to the effect that she is to enter vaude ville and the other is that she is engaged to Anthony Wilding, the Australian, who is the amateur sin gles tennis, champion of the world. Both Miss Elliot and Mr. Wilding have been spending the winter in Europe at the Riviera. Miss Elliot was first married to George McDer mott and afterward to Nat Goodwin. In Berlin, the Mgh cost of art has been combated fur 29 years, and .with triumph. There one may see opera, Shakespeare, modern drama, even farcies, produced for their own sakes, as works of art. at astonishingly low prices, says T. P.'a Weekly. By joining one of the theatre societies, at the cost of a shilling, one may go to the the atre at regular Intervals from Sep tember 1 to June Zii. and see the best acting and pr-jduclng In the capital, and enjoy the greatest possible variety of. dramatic fare, for prices ranging between two shilling and six pence. Two theatres are already controlled by these organized audiences, and a third, to hold 2000 persons, is under corstruction. The three societies, to gether embracing over 100,000 citisens, that have created this union of art and people, are the Free Folk stage, the New Free Folk stage and the Schil ler theatre. In 1890 an author named Bruno Wille puWHhed In the Socialist paper of Berlin the following call to arm. "The theatre has been conquered bv capitalism, and the taste of the masses corrupted by economic condi tions; but poets such as Tolstoy and Dostoievsky, Zola and Ibsen have found a responsa to their striving in the working class of Berlin. Though thi public performance of revolution ary plays is usually wrecked by com mercialism, which wants nothing but box office success, or by the censor ship of the police, yet closed societies like the Free Stage, have brought, to production many a piece of marked tendencies. Since admission to the Free Stage is too costly for members of the proletariat, I suggest that n Free Folk-stage be presently founded."' This suggestion was widely ap proved, and the society established. Each month, on a Sunday afternoon, it was a Socialist .play In one or an other hired theatre, performed often for lov by artists working on week days in the commercial houses. Such economy was pracced without seri ous loss to art that the average price of a seat was no more than S six pence. Hostility from tne ponce was. of course, experienced, and to this was added Internal dissension, which end ed only with the resignation and with drawal of Dr. Wille. The society still exists, but has grown little ana been totally eclipsed by Its successor, the New Free Folk-stage. of the Shrew." It Is announced that Miss Margaret Anglin will appear in this at the Hudson theatre, following "What Would You Do?" In fact, Shakespeare seems to be the curious answer to that somewhat impertinent query. It is strange how the some what barbaric idea of "The Taming of the Shrew" has been' popular of late. We have it in "The Misleading Lady," very amusingly set forth and exceed ingly up to date; we had it in "Believe Me, Xantlppe," that same to us fresh from Boston, and it was the theme of a brand new play produced at the Little Theatre in Philadelphia with the title of "Come and Take Me." Crit ics always used to say that the theme of 'The Taming of the Shrew" seemed absurd and even cruel today in view of the particularly dominant position . of the eternal feminine. Critics were I wrong. Elizabethanism seems to have Attraction of tha Past Week. H EI LI CI Evelyn Nesbit Thaw In "Marietta." Margaret Illlna;ton In "Within the Law."

CIRCLE Motion pictures. set in-again, and modern audiences don't find it all unpleasant to watch the man teaching the woman a lesson at the expense of "all conventional gal lantry. The run of "The Misleading Lady" proves this quite conclusively. "Tout a Coup," the new play which Madame Bernhardt at her Paris play house on April 16 was a failure and was withdrawn after a week. A fort night ago she remounted "Jeanne Dore," in which she appeared and in which she will go on tour through France and Belgium in May. all her western contracts. New York has it that Miss Burke will reti-e from the Frohman management at the close of this season, and will probably appear in musical comedy under the management of her husband, who tre ated the famous "Folles." Among visitors in California at present is Amy Leslie, the prominent Chicago dramatic critic, who is west for a vacation ond general rest. The Deutsches Theatre, of Berlin, has scored an entirely unprecedented record by producing a Shakespeare repertoire practically night after night for the last six months to sold-out houses without exception. The cycle, which is the greatest of all of Max Relnhardt's successes, will fill the theatre until the end of the season in June. Nothing more eloquently testi fies to Shakespeare's hold on the Ger man imagination. Ben Teai is the latest of the Ameri can directors to invade England. He sailed two weeks ago on the Amerika. Although the nature of his trip was ) not given out it is generally supposed that he has gone to stage an American revue in London, where he Is preceded by several whose name as directors are well known on. the American stage. Granville Bantock, the English com poser, has conceived the idea of vary ing the lighting of an auditorium in conformity with the character of the music that Is being played. "As there would appear to be no reason," he says, "why the lighting of a concert room In the future should not be similar to that employed on the modern stage, the following color effects are likely to afford a wider appeal to the senses wherever the work is -performed: Part I., green lights, to suggest the hues of early spring; part II., dim, misty gray lights, to suggest the eternal void; part III., white lights, changing to rosy pink, to suggest the purity and innocence of love; part IV.. red lights, suggesting the spirit of defiance and revolt." Donald Bowles, who has been a member of the Morosco company at the Bur bank theatre in Los Angles, has been made stage director until the arrival of Harrison Hunter from the east some time in the summer. Mr. Bowles numbers a host of Portland friends which he made during his sea sons as a Baker player. Al Krause has been appointed treas urer of the Orpheum to replace Louis B. ChriBt. who has gone to eastern Washington to take over the manage ment of the Dayton theatre. ' The management of the Cunard Steamship Line is interested in a plan to play vaudeville on their large ocean liners. It Is proposed to give traveling artists extremely low passage rates In return for appearing at four perform ances during the crossing. "The Firefly" company, with Emma Trentini, which played at the Heilig earlier In the season, lost $11,000 for Aruthur Hammerstein, while the num ber two company, with Edith Thayer at its head, returned a profit of $25,000. Miss Thayer is to be starred next season. The new play, "The Garden of Para dise," by Edward Sheldon, whicn will be produced by the Liebler Co. next season. Is by far the most ambitious stage spectacle that this firm has yet presented on the American 6tage. The young author's previous successes in clude "Salvation Nell," "The Boss," "The Nigger," bear no relation in their atmosphere and modern sincerity, to the new play. Gaby Deslys and Sam Bernard, in "The Belle of Bond Street" at the Shubert in New York, will sever their relationship as co-stars in a week or two, when the Deslys contract expires. Mr. Bernard will go to England with his family and Miss Deslys home to Paris. Messrs. Selwyn & Co. have accepted for production a new play by Charles Klein and will produce it in the autumn. Narc Klaw is negotiating for the American rights on the sensational play, "Aphrodite." in which a nude slave is crucified on the stage. It now appears probable that the American production of Relnhardt's pictorial play, 'The Miracle," will be made In Madison Square Garden in New York next autumn. ORIGINA L LITTLE EVA IS STILL UPON STAGE Mrs. James Gray Tells En thusiasm With Which Play Was Received. From Brooklyn comes the following interesting information. The original Little Eva of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is Mrs. James Gray, of S07 Twelfth street, this borough, who, after 63 years of lite on the stage, for she was first seen at the age of 2 years, is still vigorously associated with her profession as a moving pic ture actress. Her audience knows her as Fanny Sanford. At the age of 6 years. Mrs. Gray, then little Frances Porter, joined the company in Fall River that produced "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for the first time on any stage. Henry F. Stone, Mrs. Gray's brother-in-law, also of this bor ough, was a member of the company and took the part of Lawyer Marks in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." When visited Mrs. Gray was found busily engaged in her household du ties. Young looking for her age and with no sign on her face or frame of the hard work which much have been hers in the three score years on the boards, she still has a happy person ality. She lately took the part of the wife of Uncle Tom in a recent motion picture drama of that great story. "I was SO voune- when I nlnvarl T.lt. tie Eva," says Mrs. Gray, "that it is difficult to remember everything of those times, but I do recall the great excitement which attended the first dramatic production of Harriet Beech er Stowe's remarkable work. The au dience seemed to vibrate with enthu siasm, and at the fall of the curtain they clapped and clapped until I thought they would go mad. We played in Fall River for' months, so great was the enthusiasm shown, and when we finally did go on the road, playing in the great cities of the north, we met the same reception everywhere. In Boston especially, my birthplace, wo were tendered a wonderful ovation. "At that time the companies which produced 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' were re cruited from the ranks of the best tal ent in the country, and I sometimes wonder why the play has not been re vived with a first class production. There must be many people who would go to see the wonderful play as it should be acted. Of course, the scenic effects at that time were crude as compared to the marvelous stage sceiwl ery of today. I remember that the scene on the river was effected ry spreading cloth sheets over boxes. which resembled the shape of ice cakes, but our hounds 'of that- day were quite as bloodthirsty, if not more so, than they would be todayt "Although the actor's profession at he time of the war was not accepted socially as today, it is a fact that th players of tha time were much more wholesome in character. There is too much frivolity on the present-day stage and I might add off the stage." RIGH T TO HISS AND BOO ACTORS UPHELD Mansfield Was Half . English Starved Actor Had Difficulty In Qstting Job When First Came to America But Maintain d Good Humor. William Crane tells this story of the late Richard Mansfield: When- Mansfield came to this coun try from England, he made his start In Boston. For weeks he tried in vain to get an engagement. At last a man ager who was preparing a company for the road, heard of the young man's de sire for work and sent for him. ManBfield went to the Manager's of flee. Questions regarding his experi ence, his age, his line of work, etc.. were asked of the actor. "And what is your nationality?" asked the manager. "I'm half English," answered Mans field, bitterly, "and half starved." ' The first effect on the Pacific coast of Miss Billie Burke's recent marriage to Florence Zlegfeld Jr., is that the j coast will be deprived of a visit from that charming star, who has canceled Elsie Janis is appearing with suc cess In the London muBic halls. Sarah Bernhardt is planning a world tour. J U DGE TURNS PLAYWRI G HT New York, May 2. Judge Ben B. Lindsay, the well known judge of the juvenile court at Denver, has written a four-act drama based on his experi ences with juvenile offenders. Accord ing t report, it is to be produced by David Belasco in September, with Bur ford Hampden, who played a leading part in "The Blue Bird," as the cen tral character, that of a Denver news boy. Ixmdon's New Play Fad. London, May 2. One of the latest experiments In the London halls is that of giving popular plays by install ments; the first act every evening one week, the second act every evening the next week, and so on. "Find the Woman" is to be treated In thisv way at the London Coliseum, with Arthur Bourchier and Irene Vanbrugh in their original characters. The Rotary Club Charters The Honeymoon Express AT THE HEILIG FOR Monday Night, May 4 and urgently requests the public-spirited citizens of Portland who contemplate seeing this jrreat show to buy their tickets for Monday niRht, May 4th, thereby helping the Rotary Club to raise, money for advertising Portland and Oregon at the Houston.

The British theatre going pub lic nas resumed a study of the rights of the spectator to ' hoot, hiss and groan" or otherwise indicate, without danger of expulsion, his displeasure at what may be offered to hln for pay, when on pleasure bent. A Dublin mag istrate, going back to a precedent a century old, upholds the right to hiss a play for its objectionable moral tone. Rounds of applause fall more pleas antly on the general ear than hisses and groans. They also fall more agree ably on the ears of the performers, to whom audible encouragement is a real need and its reverse a serious impedi ment. The opponents of an official censorship declare that the public can police its own' morals arid do it better than any deputed man or body of meiw Fiut if the riKht to hiss or "boo" be dis allowed, all notion of censorship lapses. The tame American way of suffering offenses in silence and of hoping that the critics will damn the offender nest day would then continue indefinitely. BARRYMORE AND DREW New York.
