Careers In. the Eastern "The 13th Chair" com pany, a Western, version of which was recently seen locally, the part of Helen O'Neill is portrayed by Miss Eileen Van Blene, and her presence at Hollls Street theatre, Boston, has recalled to the mind of a Boston newspaper man the tragic death of Miss Van Biene's father, Au gusts Van Blene, noted cellist. i Van Blene. while playing the instru ment of "which he was the accredited master, in a scene in "The Broken Mel ody,'' lapsed suddenly into unconscious ness and before medical aid, could reach him had passed away, his bow clutched In his right hand and his left arm still encircling his Instrument. The death of Van Blene Is one of sev eral with which theatrical historians are .familiar and .which have occurred under eaually trasrlc circumstances.

Samuel Phelps, whom Sir Henry al ways used to declare wag, far .greater than he himself could 'ever hope to be. died in a similar way. He was stricken down, just as he was about to speak another famous dying line. Phelps Is generally credited with having been the greatest tragedian and comedian within the memory of living playgoers; Phelps was giving his memorable per formance of Cardinal Wolsey at the old Aquarium theatre, London. He had just reached the well known line, "Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness,' when he fell to the stage, uttering the last line on the boards. , - Another striking Instance occurred a few years ago at the Novelty theatreln London, now the Klngsway. A rising young actor named TempW Crozler died on the stage during a performance. He was accidentally stabbed In the mimic duel In which he was supposed to be killed! Two of the chief examples of deaths on the stage which occurred in an ear lier day were those of Edmund Kean and John Palmer. ' Kean as Otbello Keao.' was playing the- death doomed Othello. He had come to the speech wherein the distracted Moor has to ex claim, "Othello s occupation gone r At that moment, Kean, who. as it was said. j ma.ue me auuienceo seam io retui I Shakespeare by flashes of lightning." fell Into the arms of his son Charles, who was playing Iago, and never spoke again. John Palmer fell dead on the stage while playing the name part In "The Stranger," and at the moment of utter ing, "There la another and t better woriar Frank Worthing, a Boston actor de clared one of the most polished and ver satile leading men of recent seasons. died on the stage of the Detroit Opera house as the curtain rose on the first act of "Dlvorcons." Among old actors the explanation of sudden deaths under these conditions Is familiar. It Is-simply that certain mo ments tn these deservedly famous Im personations called for the exertion of the actor's supremest powers, while the man himself being under the spell of his own exalted emotions,' could not realise that he was overtaxing his vital organs. i come' in.

One well known - dramatic reviewer recently wrote: "The Bird of Para dise is-one of the few great success of the theatre than can be explained by a dramtlc critic. I aim unable to give a reason why 'Peg O My Heart should, have had such an extensive vogue; or wny uarm play The Music Master" forever:, or! why 'Pollyanna' has prospered; but I can read the riddle of The Bird of Paradise.' It has succeeded becausa It Is one of the most fascinating plays of the last ten years, and because It fascination appeals to the romantic Imagination that Is the common , de nominator of the American mass-mind. It has glamor and emotion and all the rich color of romance." After ah its extensive travels The Bird of Paradise" returns to Portland staged and acted as carefully as If It were In its first season. The role of Luana.. the Kanaka girl, whose primi tive soul the play so thoroughly studies, is this season In the hands of Marion Hutchins, a comely and proficient act ress who is said to do oetier Dy it than many of her predecessors. .She oiib tha nhvslcal allure of the i character ; she registers every mood of the South Sea Hawaiian princess. She has tropical beauty. The others In the cast are announced as equally competent. BAKER Emily Stevens highly suc cessful -emotional starring vehicle.

Perhaps that's what makes it so attractive for some of them. - .
