Caprices of Kitty
At the Peoples
Thanks are due the Bosworth com
pany for 'The Caprices of Kitty," with
Elsie Janis, the feature at the People's
for the first half of- the week. Miss
Janis herself wrote! the scenario, and
has given an Interesting little story,
with abundant opportunity for the dis
play of her own delightful talents. :
TJie most noticeable thing in the
w hole feature Is the spontaneity of
Miss Janis' own work.
The effect is a feeling that one, is
not looking at a cut and dried motion
picture, but is being permitted to peep
into the first hand transpiring of a
real experience. ;
Miss Janis has th role of a rich
orphan; who is housed In an exclusive
school for girls, and she romps through
the school portions with the abandon
of a good old fashioned tomboy. Later
she leaves school, and her exuberance
takes a different but no less interest
ing tack, for it gives her opportunity
to do Impersonations, for which she is
so famous, among them that of a boy,
which Is exceptionally fine.
Miss Janis Is altogether delightful,
and the screen is much richer for her
appearance. Her chief support is given
by Courtney Foote, who is quite equal
to it In every respect. The only thing
to mar Is the photography, which, is
not all up to the usual Bosworth stand
ard. ;

Three Weeks" Film
Little Like Book
Hardly more than by courtesy only
can the film at the Majestic be called
"Three Weeks," and if those -tndivid-uals
who jammed the theatre 'beyond
standing room capacity yesterday were
drawn there by the; expectation of see
ing the exotic sensationalism of Klinor
Glyn's novel, they must have been dis
appointed, for it lt not there.
The 1 makers of the production have
carefully devoted a great portion of
the picture to a prologue and to build,
ing! up. all the possible justification
they! ould for the three weeks, ; be
cause of the king and in the name of
patriotism.' The queen's actual asso
ciation with Paul, which is the real
lure of "Three Weeks," Is brief ly ex
ploited, with something like a couple
of kisses and one rumpling of his hair.

In "Tess of the Storm Country," In
which the Baker players opened at the
Baker, Sunday afternoon, for the week,
Dorothy Shoemaker carries a consider
able, part of the action, and does it in
a manner highly satisfactory to her
audience. Her support, with Edmund
Elton leading, is all that can be de
sired. As Tess, a harum-scarum child,
daughter of a squatter, but with a
heart that's right. Miss Shoemaker is
called upon for portrayal of varied
emotions and meets all demands cred
itably. Clark Sllvernall, playing a half-wit,
does a splendid piece of character
work, and rose -well to an emergency
even when a bit of his makeup slipped
on him. He iwas well entitled to the
special appreciation accorded him, as
was Florence Roberts, a witch, whose
"witchery" is canny enough for the
most exacting.

and voice to add to the force of his
acting. '
Minor parts are well handled by the
supporting ; players, including Minnie
Townshendj Hilda Graham, Will E.
Lloyd, Waited Gilbert, John Adam and
Walter Siegfried.
The play is in four acts, splendidly
staged under; the direction of Walter
Gilbert, though the whipping scene
(which is not seen) might be entirely
eliminated to advantage. The moun
tain scene in Act 1 would do credit to
any "road show." ;

ELS TRUTH ABOUT
NEW YORK'S SOCIETY
Story, of Human Frailty Deals

Loving Young Woman,
Truth stalks the Heilig stage", and is
hideous. ;
"Today" is the name of the play.
The action Is in New York socletjf,
which, without a word of preaching, ip
criticised pitilessly. i
An ambitious young business man
has a vain and pretty wife. Starting
humbly, he succeeds, and she climbs
the social pyramid. With them live
his parents, Germans who have livejd
in America the second half of their
lives and whose parts provide a wejf
come contrast- to the horror of an apt
proaching tragedy. There are twij)
women, of whose, sisterhood it is ail
ciently written that their feet "take
hold on hell." j
The story, in Its essentials as old
as human frailty, shows the reductldn
of the family from a mansion to a flaitj,
with business failure and bankruptcy
in the background. The old folks do
all they can to help. The wife, spoiled
by her taste of the" lilies of luxury,
bears her reduction bravely at -firs),
but does not know how to back up hpr
husband in his struggle to regain hjiii
Dusiness footing. She buys finery 6h
credit, and lies about its cost.

who maintains a place soci-ally : the
silly little wife, the way made smooth

He arranges a 'meeting with hta

HAYDN'S SYMPHONY
ILL PLAYED AT THE
CONCERT AT HEILIG
- i' 1
. j; I t
Composition Becomes Weari
some Because of Repeti
tions but Is Artistic, .
, By J- Jj. W.
Haydn's symphony No. 2 in D ma.
Jor, which was the principal offering
at the Portland Symphony orchestra
concert at the Heilig yesterday after
noon, is a iwonderful composition for
grace and style, and accepted as such,
but it was 'written more than a hun
dred years ago and to the music lover
of today becomes a little wearisome
because of the many repetitions. in
spite of th: fact that It is not of ex
treme length. With : Mose Chris
tensen as" conductor it was given ar
tistic interpretation and finished ; ren
dition, however, and at the end,i the
orchestra jwas enthusiastlcily ap
plauded. ; v I
The symphony with Massenet's over
ture to "Phedre" formed the first part
of the program. The overture, too,
was given a splendid reading, with all
the breadth and determination that the
composer evidently had in mind when
he scored it.
Wagner's ' "Siegfried Idyll" opened
the second half of .the program and in
it the' violins, with A. Wunderwa'ld in
the first chair, tore atitlre very heart
strings. Wagner seldom overlooked op
portunity to introduce the horns and
they had their full share in the Idyll,
and "made! good." Incidentally, it
might be interesting to know that the
fourth horn player yesterday, G. A.
Muller, was; first violinist under Wag
ner when j the composer toured the
continent. I
Jarnefelt's "Praeludlum" and "Ber
ceuse" and Taubert's "Lleheslled
schen" were the favorites of the
"small" numbers, and could 'have borne
repetition hut for the lateness of the
hour. "Llebeslledschen" Is a dainty
little movement for the strings, played
pizzicato. Lalo's "Rhapsodle Norve
gienne No. I," which brought the con
cert to a close, is an ingenlus fabric of
Norwegian ! folk songs woven by a
Belgian composer. It was delightfully
rendered and wllJf be welcomed on these
programs again.
The concert drew a large audience.
The sixth and last concert of the sea
son will be given Sunday afternoon,
April 11, when Waldemar Lind will
conduct For the principal offering Mr.
Lind has chosen Mendelssohn's "Ital
ian" symphony. P. Marino is a new
and valuable member of the first vio
lin section.;
Press Club Jinks
St. Patrick's Night
The orchestras from every vaudeville
theatre In Portland have got something
"up their sleeve."
Just what it is they won't tell; but it
has been learned they plan to Invade
the Portland Press club at its St. Pat
rick's day jinks, next Wednesday, and
"start something."
If you ask an orchestra leader' or a
member of any of the orchestras what
is going to : happen, he begins whistling
"Annie Laurie" or something of that
nature, out so far as real, live infor
mation goes well, a clam is Just as
vociferously communicative.
The Portland Press club Jinks are
now historic. The entertainment com
mittee combs all the leading vaudeville
theatres for the cream of their talent
and sandwiches it In between some of
the most noted among Portland's ama
teur and professional entertainers.
Chairman Frank McG'ettlgan declares
that the jinks next Wednesday, which
is open to all members of the Press
club and their male friends, will be the
rnost striking Portland has ever seen. ,
"We must keep our plans a dark se
cret," . said Mr. McGettigan. "Things
are going to happen, but I simply dare
not say what they are."
