JOURNAL; PORTLAND, SUNPAY -MORNING, JULY .9, 1916.
A-
DE WOLF HOPPER and the poem.
."Cuey at the Bat." have for so
many yearSbeen cloaelr associated in
the minds and hearts of the theatrical
.' pobllo, that th announcement that
Hopper la to appear -as "Casey" In a
film version of the poem, will be met
.with enthusiasm. This film opens to
. day at the Columbia.
-It will be recalled that Casey, the
invincible slugger of the Mudvllle base
' ball team, came to bat one afternoon
' In the ninth inning of a close came
' with a rival nine and, when a hit was
' needed to win, ingloriously struck out.
' 'leaving' the' entire populace of Mud
' Till gasping with amazement and
drenched in gloom.
..The- poem does not reveal what un
' toward circumstanoe it was that caused
" Casey to fall down so grievously at a
crucial moment. This mystery the plc-
- ture promises to clear up.
' The story of the play, written by
William Everett Wing, reveals Casey
as the middle aged errand boy In Mud-
- Villa's general-store. Though past the
age when the batting eye is supposed
. to be. the keenest, Casey, is still able
; to lam the ball on the nose and send
' It scooting over the outfielders' heads.
In which respect. It may be mentioned,
--.he has had several counterparts In
actual baseball history, notably Anson,
.' Wagner and Lajole, all of them slug
gers far into the sere and yellow of
' baseball sge.
, Caaey Is the star hitter of Mudrille's
team, Besides hta Job and his ball
. playing, he has two other interests in
1 lie he has a great affection for his
' little jileee, and he Is in love with a
. rich man's daughter. In the latter
affair he has two rivals, one of them
his employer, the other the pitcher of
" the Frogtown team, Mudvllle' deadly
Vlval, And out of all this grows the
tor of the plot which embodies the
' : misfortunes that overtake Caney and
' bis ultimate downfall.
-: In -Hopper's support appear such
' well known Triangle players as War
guerite Marsh, Frank Bennett, Kate
Toncray, Carl titockdale and May Gar
cia. "Thou Shalt Not Covet" will be the
film, which the Helllg will present the
' tore part of this week, beginning today.
Tyrone Power and Kathleen Williams
are the leading players in this strong
and purposeful drama of the relations
of man to man and man to woman. The
.commandment Is exemplified in a re
. manably vivid story which brings
- home the evil of desiring that which
should not be desired.
With this feature there will be one
of the popular animated cartoons, a
snappy comedy starring Krank Daniels.
- a film showing athletic exercises, and
. .another showing- animal life in Mexico
"close up."
Besides the picture program, there
will be a dansant every day and even
' ing except Sunday. The space behjpd
the screen has been converted, with
garden settings, palms and greenery,
until it is like a cozy little nook In the
woodland. The floor has been put in
v first-class condition. There will be a
': full orchestra with latest dance music.

his doctors have forbidden him to ap
pear until that time. In the mean
time he is preparing the production of
"Othello." which is to be added to his
Shakesperean repertoire and will give

In the last play Phyllis Neilson-
Terry will play Desdemona, a part she
acted In the company of Sir Herbert
Tree, at His Majesty's theatre in Lon
don. Another Shakespearean company
will undoubtedly be formed with
George Relph at its head.
Mr. Relph has recently appeared as
Romeo In the Interesting performance
of "Romeo and Juliet" at the Forty
fourth Street theatre, New York, and
the erudite dramatic critic of the Sun,
of New York, declares him to be the
most "brilliant young Romeo of the
generation." Mr. Relph is now serving
his country at the front, having re
cently returned to England, but he an
ticipates returning in September.
Eva Taiiguay Has
Changed Her Plans
Vaudeville Xeadllne Flanges Into
Soreen PooL but Emerges as Quickly
and Forms Hw Company.
After waiting vainly for some
moneyed film magnate to meet her
price of $10,000 per week, Eva Tan
guay, the vaudeville headllner, plunged
into the screen pool, "on her own,"
Just to see how the water was, says
Photoplay Magazine. With the an
nouncement of her first screen comedy
came the statement that she was con
templating a western tour at the head
of her own vaudeville company. The
water must have been chilly.
Claw finds this thrilling Paths serial
drawing to a startling; close.
The Petticoat Minstrels will conclude
their engagement with. the. continuous
performance, commencing at o'clock
today. They will be supported by a
program of unequalled vaudeville.

Viewed by Throngs
Kore Tnaa 1500 People Witness Act
ing for the Uotlon, Pictures la Woods
f Indiana.
Indianapolis. July 8. More than
1600 persons watched the acting for
motion pictures of a massacre by In
dians of the people of a settlement of
whites, . which was riven in Reser's
woods, near Lafayette, by a company
making the Indiana centennial film.
The film will be shown at the cen
tennial celebration in Indianapolis and
at many other places in the state.
Many Lafayette people helped in pro
ducing the massacre scene. Bernlce
Bresnahan, age 5. daughter of a La
fayette policeman, took the part of a
baby who was seised and "scalped."
Many scenes are being enacted each
today by the players from Chicago and
the photographing of all the Incidents
up to the principal scene, the battle
of Tippecanoe, soon will be completed.
The batle of Tippecanoe was played
last Saturday. Red Eagle, a Sioux In
dian, and Strongheart, another Indian,
tok the most prominent parts.
One of the interestng scenes last
week was a reproduction of the life of
Abraham Lincoln in his boyhood in
southern Indiana. Lon Osier, a farmer,
living south of Lafayette, who resem
bles Lincoln very much, was Induced
to play the part. John Schilling played
the part of Lincoln as a child.
After completing the work the mo
vie actors went to Culver Military
academy to use the famous horses of
the Black Horse troop in a reproduc
tion of the Morgan raiders of Civil
war days.
In a dense woods near Lafayette the
battle of Ylncennes was reproduced by
moving picture actors. More than
1500 spectators saw the battle acted.
hundreds of Purdue students aslsting

THE new bill opening at the" Hippo
drome today is all class. Vaude
ville numbers are of a high standard,
and the motion picture half Is espe
cially pleasing. It Is safe to say that
every one of the many amusement
items 'will please. The bill will run
urtil Wednesday when there will be
an entire change of program.
Elsie Schuyler & Co., billed as "The
Aristocrat of Vaudeville." offer the
only living paper doll model. This is
a strong attraction and splendid cos
tuming is a feature. The Columbians
are known far and wide in vaudeville
as "That So Different Four." They
live up to this title, producing harmon
ies, enlivened with comedy, that make
the act a big winner wherever it Is
seen. -
Edwards and Sturdevant pressed "A
Wealth of Melody," a number that
goes big with vaudeville audiences.
It needs only to be seen to be liked.
S ted man Is an exceptionally clever
fellow who has a lrne of comedy sing
ing and talking that is wonderfully
good.
MoConnel and Austin are excep
tionally clever people, who have a
comedy cyclist number. They enter
tain delightfully with an exception
ally clever offering. Three Lillian
Sisters are instrumentalists, singers
and dancers. They are bound to prove
favorites with Portland audlenoes.
Rizal and Atmla, a man and a girl,
are flexible equilibrists. Their act is
astonishingly good and all will like It.
- Motion pictures are better than one
might expect with such an exceptional
vaudeville bill. "The Weaker Strain"
is the newest "Who's Guilty?" story
and is complete in two reels. It Is
a stirring story. Golberg is back with
a roaring cartoon comedy, "From
Kitchen Mechanic to Movie Star."
Everyone who .sees it will roar with
laughter. In addition there Is the
beautiful Patfhe colored scenic film,
"Nara, Japan's Ancient Capital." Tt
is a delight to see such a splendid
scenic film ss this.
On Sunday the Hippodrome shows
run continuously from 1:16 to 11 p. m.
Other days performances are from 2
to 6 and from 6:45 to 11 p. m.
Every one o'f the four vaudeville
acts in the new bill which opens at
the Strand this afternoon is musical,
and with Louise Lovely, the beauti
ful Australian star. In the Bluebird
film drama, "The Orasp of Greed,' the
management believes it has an un
usually strong1 program.
The vaudeville feature will be the
Witael-Van Atta trio in a musical
novelty, These folks play the latest
popular melodies in their own ar
rangement on a variety of Instru
ments, with some vocal harmony for
good measure. Vera Van Atta, cornet
virtuoso, plays 12 different instru
ments in 12 minutes.
Another number that is expected
to 'prove popular is Brooke and Doyle,
with their comedy singing, talking and
dancing.
More fun will be provided by. Jack
Fine, singing and dancing comedian.
Jack comes with a record as a clever
entertainer.- and promises to be me
of the best "singles" that has been
seen In local vaudeville this season.
Cecil and Mac have named their
singing and talking act "I Gotta Go
Home," and ft Is said to be a moat di
verting comedy turn.
"The Orasp of Greed" is based on
the novel by H. Rider Haggard, au
thor of "She," and gives Miss Lovely
an opportunity to display the talent
that fcas made possible her rapid rise
as a film favorite. Some of the sit
nations are as sensational as are
found In any of Haggard's books. For
Instance, where the heroine. . to
please a dying man. with whom she
and some sailors have been ship
wrecked, allows bis will to be tatooed
on her baek. The denouement comes
In a London courtroom, when Miss
Lovely as the heroine, bares her
shoulders and proves what were the
dead man's wishes for the disposition
of bis estate.
