R. Jr. ONE almost hesitates to write the nice thinKn that ahould be said about "A Prince Thero Was" at the Heili; theatre this end of the week for fear that he might be expected of being extravagant In his praises. The' fact remains, however, that "A frlnce There was." with James Gleason and a splendid supporting company, is one of the very brightest and best things of some seasons in Portland. One has come to expect something out of the ordinary in the way of entertainment when Georee M. Cohan sponsors a pro duction, and In his newest offering of the "Prince" he makes good in his usual bang-up manner. The storv and the players, one no less than the other, make for a happy offer ing as a whole. "A Prince There Was is a sort of fairy story all right, but it's a sure enough fairy tale, with reg ular people in It. that that makes it all the better. Mr. Gleason. whom we shall claim as a "home boy" because of his association with the Baker Stock company in an earlier day, was received as such at the nnnlnr nerformance last night. He is Ideallv fitted to the part of the "Prince. wealthy Idler, bored with life, at the outset, whose regeneration is brought about by "Comfort." Muriel Nelson, a real child actress, whose waifish win someness and lines" In the first act make one laugh through a film of tears. James Bradbury Jr. does a splendid bit as Short, a motion picture detect ive, and John Bedouin likewise is de lightful as Bland the valet. Josephine Williams as Mrs. Prouty the boarding house keeper, is a natural character, and additional rlever char acterizations arc given by Uucile Web ster as Mrs. Prouty's slangy daughter ; John K. Sanders as Mr. Cricket; an im pecunious lawyer who riseH to fame, and William Slider as Jack Caruthers, a magazine editor. Ena Lewis Wlllcy is delightful as Kathcrlne Woodn, magazine writer, who finally becomes the "princess," and Ade laide Wilson. Marie Nelson. Joseph Oddo and Will T. Goodwin are cast in minor partsi "A Prince There Was" Is refreshing, inspiring, clean and wholesome. We recommend It highly.

Why Do We Use Copper Tele graph Wires? One of the characteristics which dlstln- guisnea copper is its coloi- a peculiar red. It stands next to gold and silver In ductility and malleability, and comes next to iron ana steel in tenacity wnicn means tne ability of its tiny par ticles to hang on to each other. That IB wny copper wire bends Instead of oreaking when you twist it. But that Is not the only reason, although an jiuiuruuii pan oi me reason, wny we use copper for telegraph wires. Copper is an extremely good conductor of elec incity wnen K is pure. So are aold and silver, but we cannot afford to buy stoia ana suver wires ror the telegraph a . , . . loictiiiuiie auu oiner wires, ana lr we used such wires the cost of the equip mem would be so great that we could not afford to have telephones in our uomes. But there Is a great deal of copper in the world and It is very cheap. ana so it makes an Ideal element for use in things through which electricity J to pass. When you compound it ."Willi otner substances it loses some of lt conductivity. Copper is used exten sively In many ways in the world. Many books, for instance, are printed from 'copper electrotype plates. The whole business of electrotyping is baaed on , Ihe use of copper. From the Book of Wonders.

Good for the Price of Festive Custard Pies L.O.T Angeles, Nov. 21. (U. P.) Char lie Chaplin agrees with Max Linder, the French screen comedian, who has just reached New York, that the day of custard pies, blackberry jam. slapstick and over-ripe esgs as screen laugh pro ducers have gone. He thinks they were all right in their time, but that comedy has advanced beyond that stage. "When a scene presents a natural situation suggesting laughter the laugh belongs to the people in the audience, and they take it." Chaplin commented today. "When a mechanical contrivance Is resorted to it may or man not produce laughter. But what is the result? The laugh generally belongs to the'man oper ating the prop and the audience usually lets him have It." So the price of custard pies can be expected to slump. FAY KING TELLS OF HYPO HATTIE'S "SPIRIT" MESSAGES TO THE GANG By Fay Kins (Mist King is a Portland girl, whose first new, paper work wa published In The Journal str eral years ago-. She now is located in New York ) "Say! Don't cha get nothin' " said red neck Dick draggln' im patiently on the fag He was puffin'. "Lemme try!" The gang was gathered around a Ouija board waitin' for Hypo Hattie to kick in with her usual info! "How do you get that way?" said Sadie. Maybe if some of you guys would shut up she'd show! She ain't gyped us yet!" It was just aBout six months ago that Hypo Hattie first put in an appearance at" the gas Jet fireside of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hangover. It happened like this. Sadie Hangover was press ing our her georgette blouse on a funny little board she found on the top shelf of the clothes closet when they moved into the flat. "While "she was doing the frill the phone rang and Sadie answered it, and it was while she was discussing what was ever going to become of the country now that liquor was licked, the electric Iron started acting queer. She dropped the eil 1 o t?4h A jRsraoiial William Rock, with "1-2-3-4-5 Girls and Two More." returned to vaudeville last week in a new act resplendent with novel and exquisite features. Mr. Rock, arranged, staged and produced the offer ing as only he can, and on its initial showing, it was unanimously voted huge success. Doris Hardy, remembered for her ap- appearance at the Orpheum in "The Cure," is now rehearsing a new playlet for her return to vaudeville. It is en titled, "When It Strikes Home," and will be presented by a company of seven. There are 400 certificates awaitin, ap plicants at the office of Multnomah camp. If half of them appear there will be a record breaking class initiation Friday night at 112 East Sixth street, and there is likely to be a 90 per cent attendance. receiver and hollered for Henry. Both the Hangovers thought they had D. T.'s. Mr. Hangover yanked the iron and blouse off the board and threw them on' the floor. Sadie heard faint, harsh voices. It was central trying to get her to hang up the receiver. She did. Just then Henry's eye fell on the blouse figuratively speak ing and with his long hand he picked it up cautiously. The waist was ruined and that isn't all. The sleeve was all marked up with letters of the alphabet that was on the funny little board. Sadie sat down to cry. and was about to wipe her eye with the sleeve when lo, it was a message! The formation of the letters read: "Many moon shines ago I lived. I will make booze by thy hearth. , Would'st thee find the way to lost spir its let this blind pig drowse on thy fire water log!" That was the first round. They called her Hypo Hattie because this first shot was in the arm of the waist? and since that morning the gang has been "boarding" - with this strange genius of the spirits world. She WSL by CarlysleH Holcomb A New Neighbor TINKER BOB was enjoying a great feast. Sammy Squirrel had found some luscious chestnuts, and he could not enjoy such good things without sharing his pleasure with the is.ingr Lady Duck had found a few remaining mandrake apples that Chief Porky had missed in his tour of the forest, and the King was enjoying these also. Major Pole Cat had gathered a eplendid sup ply of pennyroyal, of which Tinker now made a delightful cup of tea. And Jack the Rabbit found a few juicy berries. which added wonderfully to the tasty meal. "Ah, ha!" said the King, "it is Mr. Ground Hog. What can I do for you today?" I thought I was a stranger to you. said the Ground Hog as he came nearer. "How did you know my name? "Through experience I have knowl edge, therefore I know everything in the forest." replied Tinker Bob. "I am glad to know that the King of the Forest is so wise." Mr. Ground Hog proceeded to tell his story. "I came to ask for help." "I will be glad to help yeu. Mr. Ground Hog. if I am able," said Tinker Bob. "What do you need?" "I have my home in the edge of the Hunter's great field and when his day's work is done he comes to the door or my home with his Hound and he sets the Hound to digging in my doorway. Only yesterday he came so close to me that he nipped the end of my tail. I kept on digging until I came out at the edge of a swamp in the tall grass. He was still digging at the door, and I crept away into the great forest." "The forest dwellers have been trou bled also with the Hunter and his Hound." said Tinker Bob. "I am afraid," said Mr. Ground Hog. "and I dare not go back in my home. What I want to ask is this: Can I School Children To Give Tableaux Under the auspices of the Multnomah chapter, the Children of the American Revolution, pupils of Ainsworth school and some of the students of the Lincoln high will present a historical pageant on Saturday night, November 22. in the auditorium of the Lincoln high school. The story, "Evolution of the Flag" is illustrated by tableaux, drills, songs and minuet. In order that students of the natur alization schools of the city may avail themselves of an opportunity of seeing the exemplified evolution of Old Glory, free tickets have been provided for them. The Boy Scouts will also receive free admission. Besides the members of the Multnomah and Willamette chapter of the American Revolution, many other prominent club women of the city are among the patronesses. lias four best sellers to her credit already and is just about to book another one. Sadie isn't even taxing the bunch cork age charge. "If you knew a pal that was thirsting for dear departed spirits could you take money?" "A little seltzer water is the only charge we make," said Sadie. Once a skeptic among us tried to fool Hypo Hattie by asking her: "How many geVits are there in this room?" But she fooled him: "Can't you sub tract one from four?" And a little later she handed him one better when she said: "A foam fan cometh to lap a little liquor, but he hath lost his vision on near beer, and hath no room left in his head for a real-ache." ' At this moment the corkscrew flew around the board. The gang clustered closer. Hypo Hattie was in a poetic mood and dashed this bit of verse off: "Little Jack Horner sneaked to the corner. To get a bottle of rye. But the town's on the bum: Not a wee bit of rum To drop in the Thanksgiving Die." build a home in the Great Forest?"

We added to our Kingdom. Mr. Ground Hog was very happy think he would be permitted to live to in the Great Forest. "I will send for the Chief Porcupine and he will show you a place in the forest where the Hunter and his Hound will not find you." Tinker Bob then said. And he invited Mr. Ground Hog to stay with him until the Chief arrived. Tomorrow An Old Friend. THAT one O.
