Those who have so far failed to hear Any of the company's offering should take aa-1 vantage of the final opportunity, for certainly the company is worthy of the most liberal patronage. It is a long time since Portland has heard such well balanced casts of principals as those presented by Manager Fortune Gallo, and the chorus, too. Is of the best. Friday night the company sang Pon chlellt's "La Oloronda" to a large house so brilliantly that those who heard it would be delighted to live the evening all over again: The opera is sung less frequently than the average Italian opera, one of the reasons being the many vocal diffi culties It presents. With an array of ' principals like those assembled by this company. It' Is possible. however. Manuel Salasar, the brilliant tenor, sang the role of tfnzo In such splendid vocal from that he had to repeat the aria. "Clelo. e Mar." three times before the audience would let the opera so on". "Then we heard Klizabeth Amsden, the brilliant soprano, tin the title role, and again she -demonstrated that In her, Portland heard one of the best sopranos that has ever sung here -In grand opera. Pletro Deblasl. Stella Demette. Marta Mells. Joseph Royer. Xatale Cervi, L Dellemolle and Luglano Rossini, all of them splendid singers and actors, com pleted the cast. The scenery was of the best offered since the season opened and the orchestra under Conductor Peroni again gave the singers excellent sup port. Taken all in all it was a most brilliant production. " This - afternoon the company is sing ing Offenbach's "Tale of Hoffman." 1 FRATERNAL NOTES I ft-''?4 'J.v vmm ti;s i -til II fiAn,.;?

KATHERINE GREY, leading woman of "The 13th Chair" company, has so much of interest to say and says it so delightfully, that one feels that no mat ter how much one gets out of an Inter view with her, there Is a great deal more that is being missed. The actress is as fascinating and mystifying In her own personality and she is as Rosalie La Grange in he play ; the main point of difference being that in the latter role, she Is a white-haired elderlv woman. . .v.. v,. r-.rHr, tt Mtnii is a aarK-nairea.

Appr oyously, but with a full real ization of Its serious aspects. An interview with the young actress really means an interview with all the famous actors and actresses with whom j she has been associated, for Miss Grey nan ueen me iairy princess of theatrical life, in regard to the stage princes that he has been chosen to play leads with, and there is scarcely a name of all of those that are household words in the dramatic life of America that has not been associated with hers. In their most famous plays. Among others, there was Richard Mansfield, with whom Miss Grey played In repertoire, doing among other parts, "Roxane," to his "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Louka. the Rule-aria n girl," in "Arms and the Man." whfoh . prepare for a succession of good laughs. ne f lrst of the Bernard Shaw plays to 1 . ... tuunu j. inen mere was rt Tl T 1 n !

Th young California actress, for she was born and educated In San Francisco, ac cording to her own ideas, owes much of her subsequent success to James A. Heme, with whom she played in his first production of "Shore Acres," and to Belasco, under whose management she was for some time. One of her best liked parta is mat or "Loey Tsing," in "The First Born," a great favorite with the wizard theatrical producer. ' It was in this latter piece that Miss Grev said she first learned toaise her hands prop erly, as Belasco places great stress on the expression of the hands, and It is those and the feet that are always hor ribly In the way with stage beginners, who must be taught the artistic use of them before they can lose their stage awkwardness. Miss Grey also played the role of "Salvation Nell" In Australia, the part originally created by Mrs. Flske, and in its revival, which will probably be a matter of next season,- F.dward Sheldon, the author, wants Miss Grey to take the principal role. Another revival for next season, which is being -discussed and which will quite Purely be made, is that of "Business Is Business." the serious drama by Octave- Mirbeau, In which the actress appeared In William Crane's support, when the play was first done in this country, and In which she Is to play opposite to Louis Calvert, the celebrated English actor, In the revival. So with Miss Grey the great things she has done In the past merge quite natur ally with the still finer things she ex pects, to do In the future, and those lat ter are Just the natural expression of her own busy, ambitious personality. ! ACCORDING to Brinsley Shaw, lead ing man of "The Thirteenth Chair company, now playing at the Heilig, only two persons, as far as they know, have ever guessed the actual murderer in the play, before the denouement. One of them was Grace George, the cele brated actress, and the other a small boy who came behind the scenes In one of the cities in which they were ap pearing. m Mr- Shaw, by the way, is himself ex ceedingly well known, having played Im portant roles In a great number of suc cessful productions. He was Cash Hawkins with Dustin Farhum In "The Squaw Man" when it visited Portland. He also played with John Barrymore in "The Fortune Teller," with Stuart Robson in "The Henrietta" and with Sothern In repertoire. For the past few years Mr. Shaw has been both a director and player with the Vitagraph. Essanay and World Film companies.

We are to have a repertoire of Shakespeare with John B. Keilerd at the Heilig, for the last three days 6T the week; three starred vaudeville, at the Orpheum for the four first days, bills of much promise at Pantages, the Hippo drome and the Strand ; a romantic com edy, "The Cinderella Man," at the Baker and the usual merry entertainment at the Lyric, which this time Is to be called "The Olbson Girl." While this is going on In the "speak ing" theatres, the "movies" will not be Idle, by any means. The Columbia has prepared one of thwlr most interesting attractions in some time, a problem play. Mrs. Dane's Defense," with Pauline Frederick In the principal role ; at the Liberty from Sunday on, Taylor Holmes will show us how It feels to be the pos sessor of "Uneasy Money," and one way of getting rid of It ; Mae Murray will appear In a thrilling drama, "The Mor mon Maid," at the Sunset ! Madge Ken nedy, delightful comedienne, is making us all laugh in 'Nearly Married," at the Majestic ; Douglas Fairbanks will per form wonderful feats 8000 feet above the level of the sea. In "A Modern Muske teer," at the Peoples and the wonders of the deep will be presented to our as tonished vision at the Star, where "The Submarine Eye," is being shown, a a Photoplays I IBERTY Taylor Holmes, In "Un easy Money" is to be featured at the Liberty this coming week, commencing tomorrow, Sunday. In the play, Mr. Holmes has the part of Lord Dawllsh, an English nobleman, who inherits a great amount of money, from an eccen trie American, who should have left it to a niece and nephew, and it is In try ing to right the injustice, and in particu lar to return her share to the very at tractive niece that the complications en sue. The play is plctufized from P. G. Wodehouse's story of the same name. which ran serially In the Saturday Eve ning Post. Virginia Valli plays oppo site the star. COLUMBIA One of the star films of the season is that of "Mrs Dane's De fense," featuring the beautiful emotional actress, Pauline Frederick. The pray Is of the problem variety,, and tells the story of a woman straining with every nerve to hide the wrong of her early life and to win the happiness which should rightfully be hers, which she eventually sacrifices for the good of those she loves The Paramount screen version follows very closely the original stage version of the famous Henry Arthur Jones plot. which created a real sensation at the time of its stage presentation. The dif ferent scenes were filmed in private homes, almost palaces, and In the gar dens of wonderful country estates. The gowns worn by Miss Frederick are espe cially stunning. PEOPLES The eagerly awaited Douglas Fairbanks' production of "A Modern Musketeer," will be the attrac tion at the Peoples commencing tomor row and running for the balance of the week. In this new picture, Mr. Fair banks performs some of his most daring feats, many of them in positions of great peril, for a great number or the scenes were "shot" In the Grand canyon of Arizona, at an altitude, of 8000 feet. Fairbanks, In the picture, is Ned Thacker of Kansas, who through pre natal influence has lnViarlted the chiv alrous spirit of D'Artagnan, . hero of Dumas' "The Three Musketeers." This spirit Impels hlm to the assistance of females In real or fancied distress. One of the thrilling scenes is, where Fair banks heads off the Indians by sliding down a rope for several hundred feet, and then climbing up again with Doro thy Morane (Marjorle Daw), clinging to his ndCrC SUNSET Mae Murray. In "The Mor mon Maid." a story of the early days of one of the Mormon settlements,, will be the picture at the Sunset, from Sunday to Thursday of next week. In addition to Miss Murray, Hobart Bosworth, Frank Borzage and Edythe Chapman, have prominent roles. The story is that of a young Gentile girl, whom a Mor mon elder desires for one of his wives, and of her rescue by a young Mormon, after perilous adventures. Photography and lighting effects are said to be of unusual beauty. . The other feature Is the comedy, "The Immigrant," by the only and original Chaplin. STAR "Submarine Eye" at the, Star, commencing today, is one of the most remarkable films from a photographic standpoint that has- ever been screened, and is a triumph - for the Williamson brothers in their beneath-the-sea pic tures. The play Is not, as the title might indicate, a story .of an underwater fighter; the name Is that given to an Inverted periscope, which, when low ered below the watlrt Is supposed to reveal to the watcher all the wonders and horrors of the deep. There Is a love story of absorbing Interest running through the plot and In addition the amazed spectator views actual scenes taking place beneath roc water, that a short time ago would have been deemed Impossible to photograph. One of the most remarkable scejnes ever pictured Is that when Buller, the m tlve diver employed.-by the film pro ducers, remains submerged in shark Infested waters, 60 feet deep, for 1 min ute 54 seconds, during which time he rescues Chester Barnett, in the role of John Fulton, who has been trapped and held down by a treasure chest, he has dived down to obtain. There Is also a wonderful storm at sea, in which a Barbara BYDR PARTR1 DOS How Jimmy Coon Lost His Supper JIMMY COON had forgotten to call and eat Mrs. Quail's 22 em in her pretty nest before they were hatched ; and he was startled to see the head of one of her little children sticking out from under her wing. And Jimmy almost fell over himself In astonishment, as he said to himself, "Well, I had no idea I had been so rude, aa not to call on dear little Mrs. Quail for so long a time! And Jimmy Coon crept very softly nearer the nest ; and he could hear pretty Mrs. Quail, singing to her little children, who were all in bed with their dear mother, "Now hush, little ones, and go right to sleep. No one will harm you. You are safe In .your home. You have only had some - bad dreams, now go right to sleep '." And Jimmy Coon was awfully hungry: and his mouth was open, showing all of his little white teeth, as he crept so silently close to the nest. And Jimmy Coon said to himself. "I'd just as soon have the little babies of Mrs. Quail for my supper as her fresh eggs ! So here goes."- and Jimmy Coon reached his two little clever hands for that soft bed. holding all the nice fat babies of pretty Mother Quail. At that very instant. Jimmy Coon looked over his le(t shoulder and he trembled all over as he saw an awful sight ! Two eyes gleamed in the dark ness, like coals of fire right behind him. And Jlmmv Coon shuddered and almost fell down, with a terrible fear In his little beating heart. Jimmy Coon saw at a glance It was Mr. Red Fox. And Jimmy Coon gave an awful squeal of terror, and ran for his life to find his mother. And Mr. Red Fox gave some terrible barks as he leaped to catch Jimmy Coon. And while Mr. Fox was trying to catch Jimmy Coon Mrs. Quail quickly woke Books Made For Soldiers In Hospital MRS. R. R.

And here they were all safe, while Mother Quail comforted her frightened children, by clucking peace fully ; much as a mother hen clucks words of comfort to her little chicks, when frightened by the big Hen-hawk. Mr. Red Fox came back In a few moments to eat up the whole Quail family, mother and children. But he was said to see them all safe up In the big Oak tree. It was hard luck for poor Mr. Red Fox. for he couldn't catch Jimmy Coon, and he couldn't climb the Oak tree to get the Quail family for his supper 1 (Tomorrow Jimmy Coon Gets Some Honey.

At a short business session . In the morning the chapter voted to assume the support of a French war orphan for at least ons year.

Miss Kenny, her self a registered nurse In Portland, ex pects to leave soon for service "over there."

Mrs Delia Meredith and Miss Jans A. Kenny were guests of the day. Eeautr CKat J,lI,L.LfVN RUSSBUi Brace Up 'HE Y. M. C. A. and other organiza tions in inaugurating campaigns to encourage men of middle age to devote a portion of each day to physical culture in order that the soldiers on tne nring line may be supported by strong and vigorous men at home, are outlining a course that should be followed by women. Women have their part to per form In this great war. and it is essen tial that they should be in physical con dition to shoulder their share of the na tion's burden. We have been assured that there must be 10 people back of the firing line to support each man at the front. When England and France went into the war there were such great drafts on their man power that they were compelled to call upon women to take the places va cated by men leaving for the trenches. Ever since July 31. 1914, the number of women employed in ths Industries of Europe's belligerent nations has been steadily Increasing, until there Is now a whole army In the factories and another just bsck of the trenches attending to the work that can be done by. giris ana women as well as by men. Since the United States entered the war the number of women workers In this country has been steadily increas ing. They have been called Into every line of endeavor, many being engaged in the Industries and manual labor where physical strength Is necessary. What percentage of our American women Is ready and physically fit to do a full share of war work, especially if called upon for manual labor? I have taken an active part In the Liberty bond sale campaign, and In the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A.. K. of C. and other movements to raise funds, and I have found pleasure In sewing and knitting for the soldiers and sailors. I have also given many soldiers lessons In French It has been my privilege to actively participate In this splendid work. At the same time I have kept up my regular work. Before the war I often thought my day was crowded to capac ity now I find myself doing two or three times as much work, yet I show no signs of exhaustion and feel fit for even more duties. Fatigue may over take me before I retire, but I am rested and ready for another big day when the sun puts its nose over the horizon. I am sure it would be impossible for me to do the work I am doing at pres ent without the strength and vigor gained through making physical cul ture a religion. Even with my time so fully occupied, I devote dally periods to 1 exercise and live rigidly under the health rules I have been following and teaching for years. I owe my strength and vitality and my ability to work to the course I have followed. Many other women feel that It Is their duty to work In a big way In the Inter ests of the nation and our soldiers. If they are not physically strong, their spirit may be willing but they will not be able to render full service. The women who are devotees of physical culture will not have any difficulty In performing the duty. If you have not started to give your body the care and attention It demands, begin to do so at once. Look at the workers about you and you will find the physically strong In the lead. The lives they lead make them fit for serv ice. By paying attention to exercise, diet, fresh air, rest and recreation they are able to heed the call of duty. Women of middle age, like men cf the same age. are Inclined to avoid exercise. Some believe they have no spare time and other are lazy. Many think they have an abundance of strength until they are placed under the strain of ad ditional work or sickness. Then comes the break Heed the lessons that are being taught to the men of the nation. That which is good for the gander Is good for the goose. sketch entitled.

A. Hlnkle. At the con clusion of this Interesting feature of the afternoon the ladles repaired to the high school building where Professor Landsbury, of the University of Oregon school of music, gave a splendid talk to the high school students and Mental Culture club ladles, under the auspices of the club.

E. Huston with Mrs. Frank Trlaka as joint hostess. The Red Cross spirit was evident In the fact that nearly every ons present was knitting a sweater, sock or wristlet, and when letters were read from various recipients of Red Cross kits sent by the Library club, needles seemed to' click faster than ever, judging from the tone of several letters read. Oregon boys are the envy of the lads from other states and are most eager to be "adopt- t-d by Oregon women. The club had the pleasure of adding a new member to its list sirs. AJien Biggs. The subject of the literary part of the program was Bolivia and Chllt Mra Trlska gave a splendid talk on Bolivia. a Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council of the American Red Cross, sent the following New Year's message to the Red Cross division managers throughout the country : "The latest reports available Indicate that the Christmas drive for 10,000.000 new members for the American Red Cross has resulted In the addition of fully H.000.000 names to its rolls. This number added to the more than 1,000, 000 members before the Christmas cam paign makes the total present enrollment fully 22.000,000. This Is a magnificent fact an expression not alone of the patriotism, but of the fine sympathy and idealism of the whole American people. "The Red Cross war council congratu lates and welcomes every new member of the American Red Cross ; likewise It congratulates the officers and old mem bers of the organisation who have given unstintedly of their time and effort to make the membership campaign a suc cess, "But the wonderful achievement of en rolling one fifth of the entire popula tion of the United States as members of the American Red Cross is less a tri umph than it Is a call to greater service. The Red Cross Is not merely a humani tarian organization separate and dis tinct from others, but It is the mobilised heart end spirit of the whole American people. The American Red Cross ts car rying a message of love and sympathy to American soldiers and sailors and ts the troops and civilian population of our allies in all parts of the world. It Is seeking to shorten the war and It la seeking to lay a foundation for a more enduring peace when the war 1st over. As we stand on the threshold of a new year In this hour of the world's tragedy there can be but one thought In the minds of the 22,000,000 members of the American Red Cross, and that Is to serve and sac rifice as never before. a e The Woman's Missionary society of the First Congregational church meets on Wednesday, January II, .In the church parlors.
