Like every other Shapespearlan company, the ueu vxreet piayers at one time used elaborate settings which were intended to convey the atmosphere with which bnaKespeare surrounded his character The best of settings, however, became tawdry when compared to the wonderful language of Shakespeare and the re markable acting of these famous artists, ana consequently, a few years ago, Mr. Beauty CKat Keep Knitting A PARTY of congenial friends motored from Boston to New York with me a few weeks ago. We were enjoying the trip, as the day was one of crisp air, sunshine and exquisite colorings one of those days that fill the healthy mind with adoration and thanksgiving. Our spirits were at the highest pitch or har mony and good fellowship as we stopped at a roadhouse to satisfy our keen appe tites with the regulation chicken and waffles. We naturally that is, the women in the party Btarted knitting while wait ing to be served. We were alt feeling so refreshed and happy that the remarks back of us came like a dose of cold water. ' "I don't see why women are showing off their knitting In public this' way. The war department gives the boys all they need it's Just affectation. I wouldn't knit for anyone but myself. Guess I will put my money in sheep and sell the wool to the knitting faddists." I didn't have to turn around to know where they .were born. New England was so apparent in their accent al though I wouldn't have been surprised had they been Germans, their expression of mind was so pro-German. Bat I did turn around to see their faces I make a study of faces, you know and their faces did not belie their sentiments, Faces never do.' They are faithful pic tures of the true feelings of mortals. ' Narrowness of mind was decidedly pictures in tne pinched eyes and puck. ered upper lip of the speaker. She looked too stingy to buy a curling iron. a bit of powder or even a' cake of pure soap, much less a decent dress and hat. She wouldn't knit for a soldier bov. to keep him warm while defending her and her kind, as well as the good Americana She is looking for the best of things for the least possible expendi ture or money- or effort. But thank , God. there are not many like her. There MVS Greet offered "The Merchant of Venice" I at the Greek Theatre at Berkeley, Cali fornia, with no scenery 1-ut the curtain. Five Comely Maidens Five comely maidens, titled "Five Young Americans" top the Hippodrome bill the flrtst half of the week and en gage in terpsichorean and singing spe cialties that delight their audiences. They are quick change artists and romp through their numbers In Scotch, Irish and American costumes. Their rendition of "Bring Back the Old Fashioned Melo dies" brought down the house. Clever laugh-getters are McCormack and Shan non whose "A Breath From Old i.rln" developed Into a song-and-talk fest. George Evers, the blackface comedian, who styles himself "Dr. Laughologlst" and a "Classic In Jazz," created a riot with his up-to-the-minute comedy. Len Carle and Dolly Inez In "Nifty Nonsense," sang good songs and brought forth charming melody from a Hawaiian guitar. New and startling feats on the flying trapeze were con tributed by the Aerial Bartletts. Hanna and Partner are Interesting acrobats. The photoplay feature was "Love, Laughs and Lather." "Winged Mystery" Sensational German spies, blackmailers who uti lize carrrler pigeons, loyal Americans, society folk craving excitement, and two brothers who are twin-doubles, com prise the ingredients for "The Winged Mystery," a sensational photoplay-melo drama featuring the Strand's new "Pho- I toville" bill. ! Ruth and Kit Clark, attractive girls who know what syncopation means, car ry off vaudeville honors with a series of applause-provoking duets. Their In terpretation of that "Wiki Waki Wu" thing, .as well as the "Holdup Rag," earn them encores limited only by time allowance. Brewster and Boyd are a man and woman team and upon intro duction they completely fool their audi ences until Burke or is it Brewster? lets. loose of a man-sized voice. His feminine make-up is so convincing and his dancing so graceful that the expose comes as a shock to Mr. Spectator. Fi nally Mr. Drunk and Miss Queen bring ineir attractive number to a funny cli max of slapstick repartee.

With " the deliciously attractive Man Murray as the maid, the matter be comes still more interesting and vivid.

EV DR 'WKR-R.EiH. A Trap Is Set for Jimmy Coon THE very night after the Coons had broken open all the big pumpkins in the cornfield, to eat the delicious seeds. Little "William started to dis cover the rascals. Little William had the. new teacher of his school to help him. For the teacher had a big trick to play on Jimmy Coon. You would have laughed if you could have seen the teacher and Lit tie William leave the farm house that evening with alt, kinds of bundles and luggage. Why, they had so many boxes and packages you certainly would have thought they were going on a Journey around the world. You see the teacher had a big cam era and took many fine pictures and he Intended to lend that camera to Jimmy Coon.. How can you make Jimmy Coon take his own photograph?" anxiously inquired the farmer boy. "Oh, you'll see before the night U over," answered the teacher. And th3 two walked fast towards the cornfield. It was early in the evening, but It was getting dark, and they had to use the light of a lantern to get ready. The teacher picked out a big oak tree, close to the rows of corn, for his trick on Jimmy Coon. He put the camera on a low wooden box which he had brought withiiim and Little William climbed the oak tree and fastened a string to the lowest limb. Then th'i lad climbed down to find a piece of cheese. Did the farmer boy eat that cheese for his lunch? Oh. my, no. That; piece of cheese, was for Jimmy Coon. And the teacher told the boy to pass that string hanging down from the lhnb of the oak tree, through the screweye and then to tie the end of the s string to the piece of cheese. And the farmer boy was so excited he thought he would burst. And the teacher whispered: "William, be care- i ful now nd don't touch my new big earners, for I have it set now so that Jimmy can take a snapshot of him self tonight. TBut. said the lad.

THE Portland Woman's Research club met at the Multnomah hotel Thursday with an attendance of more than 100 guests. The executive board of the club elects a chairman for each meeting and Mrs. D. M. Watson presided at this meeting. Introducing the speakers of the day. The program was opened with the singing of the "Marseillaise" by Mrs. Donald Spencer, and Otto Wedemeyer followed with "Land of Hope and : Glory," an old British air. sung in cour tesy to one of the guests of the after noon. Captain J. W. Carter, Canadian recruiting officer. Mrs. Warren E. Thomas accompanied the soloists and played "America," which was sung by the audience. Mra Emma Gillespie read Joaquin Miller's "Columbus." as a fitting prelude to the patriotic spirit of the meeting. Rev. Dr. John H. Boyd was the speaker of the day, and took for his theme the words of Columbus, "Sail on. Sail on." as emblematic of the indomitable spirit of the American peo pie, who must, with the allies, carry on to Its finish,, the war and to see that the final peace settlements are not tainted with greed. He also touched on the menace 'of immigration which must be faced after the war. Captain Carter furnished much Inter esting information on the women's bit in helpng the soldiers in service. "If you can do nothing, else." said Captain Car ter, "write letters and more letters. The spectacle of the men rushing to answer the mall bugle and returning empty handed would make every woman in America want to write, write, write. The mall is the one thing that unfailing ly gets up to the front line trenches, and if a cheery note on home things, social affairs and real news, far removed from the war, Is received by a man who has been on duty 24 hours a day from a week to even as high as two months, there is no estimating the cheer that it may bring him." Captain Carter made a special point that the sending of little packages must not stop with the Christmas season. Such things as prepared packets of soup cubes, chocolate, tea or coffee which the soldiers can use by merely pouring water over them are most acceptable to the men. Among the things he suggests as best to fill the packages were fruit cake, hard candies without nuts, -or lump sugar, soup cubes, 'coffee or cocoa tablets, sweetened chocolate, either plain or milk, but without nuts, as the nuts seemed to spoil, chewing gum, all man ner of approved knitted garments, socks, sleeveless jackets, wristlets, mufflers, and then more and more socks ; leather laces, insect powder, tooth paste, hand kerchiefs, soap and tobacco. The packing of the packages is highly important. All foods like cake and candy must be put- in tins. No glass jars can be sent as the careful handling of the mail is impossible. The packing should be carefully done. The little light wooden boxes must be used, and in wrapping them use a piece of cloth and sew it on so that all possibility of the paper becoming wet and torn off may be eliminated. In England a club of 1000 women gave all their time to taking the packages sent from the colonies that are coming to pieces and trying- to find the names for whom they were intended from the torn wrappings and repacking them for the men. It is no uncommon thing for the men to receive a piece of brown paper and a string and find the contents entirely missing.
