the reviewer was beguiled Into believing
the plot was going ahead at full speed

clever were the producers that they

Dalton plays a girl of rare species. She
sacrifices herself that , another woman

suffer. Her true worth was recognized
when the truth was known-and the "ex

become a member through, marriage, to

learned a lesson and make amends. The
girl's lack of "veneer" is overlooked. As

Carl Denton Presents Program
That Pleases Highly Large
Audience at Auditorium.
Br J. 1. Walliti
T WAS an altogether delightful pro
gram that the Portland Symphony
orchestra gave Sunday afternoon at The
Auditorium. The attendance was close
to 2000, and that was fairly encouraging.
Among the more familiar numbers
played was theintermesso from Mas-
cagnfs "Cavallerla Kustlcana," and It
went so big that It had to be repeated.
It was beautifully played, augmentation
of piano and organ adding greatly to
the general effect.
Then there was the old friend, "Sere
nade Rococo" (Meyer-Helmund), for
strings only, played pizzicato but for a
few . effective strains from the cello.
It, too, won such enthusiastic applause
that Conductor Carl Denton repeated it
in part.- The bells, in olden days called
"glockenspiel," supplied additional color
to the presentation.
The symphony was Dvorak's "From
the New World,", with which music-
lovers of Portland are now well ac
quainted, too, because It has been playd
several times by the local orchestra.
Mr. Denton conducted with authority.
the response was splendid and the ap
preciation universal. Judging from the
spontaneous applause.
Seldom does an orchestra have oppor
tunity to give the premiere of a work
worthy a place on a symphony program.

and in construction is massive and
majestic. As played, it revealed an
anticlimax which perhaps was inten

to always please, but it was the "Span

audience. It is rich in tone color, full
of vivacity and brings out . manv con.

( TfESUS CHRIST is not coming blck

ond Coming of Christ at the "First Meth

"The Kingdom of Heaven which Jesus
Christ came to establish is the kingdom
of heaven within us. Good spiritual and
moral living comes from heaven above.
and cannot be forced from without.
Dr. Stansfleld delivered this sermon-
lecture for the second time Sunday night
to a large audience. He halted his dis
course long enough briefly to analyze
the German drive.
"The Germans are making the biggest
dash of the war," he said. "It is being
done for spectacular effect, in . order
that reports may be sent to the father
land of gigantic successes in the field,
The German rulers also hope to throw
the British and French into utter con
stemation. I believe that the reports
from Berlin are exaggerated and that
within 36 hours word will come of
steady advance of the French and Brit
ish troops in France."
Using the reception room of the Mult
nomah hotel at the church parlor, the
members of the Wilbur Methodist Epis
copal hcurch heard Bishop Mathew S.
Hughes Sunday morning preach for the
first time before the newly organized
church. Rev. W. T. Kerr, pastor of the
church, conducted the regular service.
Palm Sunday was observed in the
Catholic churches of Portland Sunday
with befitting ceremony. Large attend
ance was reported at all masses held In
all the churches and parish houses.
At the St. Marys Cathedral. Father
O'Hara read portions of a letter from
Archbishop Christie in which greater
Interest in the religious training of chll
dren at home was urged. Efforts should
be made, the archbishop Said, for the de
velopment of the young for religious vo
cations
At the high mass the account of the
suffering and death of Christ was sung
by the surpliced choir without organ ac
comnanlment.
Noonday services, the stations or tne
