THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY . EVENING, APRIL 10, 1915. IGlub Activities' EfeWH 'Midsummer Night's Dream" i'resentea. . B EFORE a house crowded with relatives and friends of the youthful performers, club wo- -t . .- men, students ana lovers or .Shakespeare, "Midsummer Night's lrea.m" was presented last evening- at the Eleventh Street playhouse' by a company Including more than 60 of 'Portland's most beautiful and tal ented children and young people, the , affair being given under the auspices of the Portland Shakespeare club, of , which Mrs. E. P. Preble Is president. Ever since Its organization several years ago the Portland Shakespeare ;club has, as its nam woujd indicate, -stood for the highest and best In dra matic literature. To It belongs the credit, to a great extent, for the con stantly Increasing Interest in Shake spearian drama. Its members have not only made a conscientious and in telligent study of the masterpieces of the. great English dramatist, but each given a semi-nubllc nerformance by ' the members as a means of gaining a further Insight into its dramatic sig nificance. Shakespeare's birthday is always ob served either with a Shakespearean -reading or dramatic performances, the , Ben Greet players having given a ' series of the latter under the club's , auspices. The club always attends Jn a body Shakespearean productions given by professional companies, and In every way do they lend their sup ;Port in an effort to extend and in " crease the appreciation of Shakespeare. Last night's performance was en- tirely an educational effort and that ' It was appreciated was attested by the , large attendance of students and lovers of Shakespeare. The slightest . detail in costuming, scenery, ligfjfe&ef- .fects, music and dancing had been " carefully thought out along the lines approved by the leading exponents of Shakespeare, with the result that an entertainment of rare charm and beau- ty was given. . Mayo Methot was perfectly cast as "Puck," a gayer and more elfish lit tle sprite could not be Imagined. She dodged about the trees and about her royal charges with all the abandon of boyish youth, danced in her supreme i glee and when the occasion demanded, said her "lines" like the little veteran that she is. The fairy dance with the fairies wearing diaphanous .costumes of rain- ?bow hues, wa& one of the most pic turesque scenes of the evening. The wee dancers, Miriam Schiller, Helen j Dleterich, Marjorie Leet and Janet t Cattron, captivated the audience with their lovely dances. The little elves In their funny little green suits, were Quite irresistible. Robert McGruire and Wilber Preble were cunning little pages to Queen Titanla. The cloud dance was extremely attractive and flic musical part of the Droeram with i Miss Eloise Anita Hall as soloist. . added much to the pleasure of the eveninc- T.he Athenian lovers and the t- clowns all took their parts in excel lent style and the young women were ; showered with beautiful flowers. - Much credit is due Adeline M. Al yord, the dramatic director; Miss Wil Jiams, who directed the ; dances, and 'Miss Kern, who was in charge of the : music, for the excellence of the per yformance. The success of the aflair Ifrom a business standpoint is due to I the services of Miss Nina Joy, who iwas business manager. fv . . . jT:Oak Grove Association Election.

RAVIATA RENDERED FINISHED MANNER BY LAMBARDI PEOPLE Xrivelli, American Singer, ts Splendid Violetta; Other Parts Are Well Placed., By J. Li. W. "Traviata" was given a splendid production at the Baker theatre last night by the Lambardi Italian grand cpera company, with Genia Trlvelli, an American singer, who recently returned from Italy, in the role of Violetta. Trlvelli, slender and graceful, makes an ideal Violetta, and her coloratura singing was fully equal to the large requirements of the score. .Trlvelli is young and handsome, and her voice is sweet, fresh and true to pitch. Gerolamo Ingar, lyric tenor, sang the role of Alfredo, lover of Violetta, and he, too, was discriminately chosen for the part, for he sings splendidly and has a fine appearance. His voice blended sympathetically with that of Trlvelli, and he was particularly pleas ing in the passages written for luilf or mezzo voice,' as in the last act. David Silva, baritone, as Germont, father of Alfredo, was called upon to repeat the beautiful aria that is often sung in concert. He gave it a remark ably artistic rendition. It has been sung here by big baritones before, but never with more pleasing nuances or clear conception of declamatory style. Edith Mackie, soprano, as Flora.; Aristede Nerl, tenor, as Gaston; Uin berto Rovere, baritone, as Baron Dou phol, and Luigi Morelli as Dr. Gren ville, were if anything above, the re quirements, both vocally and histrion ically. The scenery was brilliant and the costumes new and dazzling. The or chestra showed much Improvement over the work of the opening night, so that in every respect the production was a complete success. The chorus had minor parts, but these were well executed. This afternoon "Aida" is being sung before a' capacity house, and tonight "Rigoletto" will be the attraction, with Genia Trivelli as Gilda, Ingar as Duke of Mantua, and Filippo Bennyan as Rigoletto. "Rigoletto" will be repeated tomorrow night,, and "Traviata" will be the bill tomorrow afternoon.

That's the surest way of all Ignorance to show. "I've found Old Mr. Toad!" cried Pe ter Rabbit, hurrying after Jimmy Skunk.' "Where?" demanded Jimmy. "In the water." declared Peter. "He's sitting right over there where the water is shallow, and" he didn't notice me at alL Let's get Unc Billy and then creep over to the edge of the Smiling Pool and watch to see if Old Mr. Toad really does try to sing." So they hunted up UnC Billy Pos sum and the three stole very softly over to the edge of the Smiling Pool where the bank was low and the water shallow. Sure enough, there sat Old Mr. Toad with just his head out of water. And while they were watching him something very strange hap pened. Pter's big eyes looked as if they might pop out of his head. "What what's the matter with him?" he whispered. "If he don't watch out he'll blow up and bust!" exclaimed Jimmy. "Listen!" whispered Unc' Billy Pos sum. "Do mah ol' ears' Jiear right? 'Pears to me that that song is coming right from where Brer Toad is sit ting." It certainly did appear so, and of all the songs that made glad that glad spring day there was none sweeter. Indeed there were few as sweet. The only trouble was it was so very short It lasted only for two or three sec onds. And when it ended Old Mr. Toad looked quite his natural self again, just as commonplace, almost ugly, as ever. Peter looked at Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy looked at Unc' Billy Possum. Unc' Billy looked at Peter. And no one had a word to say. They Just didn't know what to say. Then all three looked back at Old Mr. Toad. And even as they looked his throat began to swell and swell until it was no wonder that Jimmy Skunk had thought that he was In danger of blowing up. And then when it stopped swelling there came again those beau tiful little notes so sweet and tremu lous that Peter actually held his breath to listen. There-was no doubt about It.

Martinez, Cal., April 10. County au thorities started a rigid investigation today into the death of the litle 7-year-old war orphan of Antioch, Helen Honderbile, whose father lies in a trench grave before Ypres, and -whose mother is dead of grief over the loss cf her husband. ' The body of the little girl, who died at the home of her uncle. John Honder bile, wealthy French laundry owner of Antioch, after being taken seriously ill' on March 14, was exhumed today. Coroner C. C. Abbdtt, following the testimony of Dr. E. A. Diggins at a belated Inquest yesterday, ventured the opinion that the child was murdered. The authorities are working on tne theory that the girl died of strychnine poison. When the war made little Helen Honderbile an orphan and ward of the French government, she was sent to her uncle's home. When she died with out medical attention, the explanation of the uncle that she had eaten poppies was accepted by Dr. Diggins. Public opinion in Antioch has reached a high pitch, and it was the complaints of the neighbors that caused the coroner's Investigation to day. If evidences of strychnine are found, the county authorities ' believe that they will be confronted by one of the most unusual and baffling mur der mysteries in years. Still Pursues Her Husband.

"Suffrage Just now-' is a 'secondary consideration," .aid Frau Heyl. "Now It is the task of the women of Germany to help the government in every pos sible way. The ballot will come to the wornen of Germany when ' the war is ovej. The government will find that we jhave been so much help in war that our assistance is needed in peace."
