Whiteside Is a
Strong Feature
In New Play
By R Tr
DRAMATICALLY absorbing and high
lighted with flashes of humor and
' mysticism, "The Master of Ballaritrae,"
with Walker Whiteside In the title role,
proved delightfully entertaining to a
large audience at the Hell)? last night.
"The, Master of Ballantrae" la largely
Mr. . Whiteside's play, for as the ne'er-do-well,
likeable, charming liar and gen-
eral scoundrel, James Durle, he domi
nates the action and situations through
out, and knowing him for what he is
all the time, Mr. Whiteside nevertheless
' makes of his character a personality
-. that one wants to like and sympathize
t with no matter how unworthy.
' There la nothing lacking, either, in
the players In support of Mr. White
side. May Buckley as Jesele Broun,
the wronged woman, stops ii short
Of overdoing a clever bit In a drunken
scene, and William H. Sullivan as Col
onel Burke, in the few lines he has to
say. Is delightfully Irish. Character
marks the work also of Carl Vose, a
servant, and of Maurice Barrett, the
Hindu gentleman. Frederick Roland is
convincing as Henry Durle, the younger
and wronged son of Lord Purle, played
. by Harry Dornton, and Hubert Drmt
la delightful as the old steward. Syd
ney Shield is the becond woman mem-
1 ber of the oast, playing Alison, Henry
Durle's wife,- and Is effective in the
motional opportunities offered her.
"The Master of Ballantrae," as a
: play. Is naturally somewhat theatric,
but so absorbing and Intense In action
and go well acted, that the mechanics of
the piece do not Intrude. The text runs
largely to form as prepared by Robert
' Louts Stevenson. James Durle returns
to the home of his fathers after 10
years of wandering, when he Is believed
dead. By his father and his former
fiancee, Alison, now married to Henry.
James' brother, James Is welcomed with
open arms., Henry, knowing the sinis
ter purpose of James' visit, and of his
perfidy, and his betrayal of Jessie
Broun, whom Henry Is helping, seeks
: to be rid of James the artful liar who
von wins Alison's promise to flee with
him but fate, in the person of the In
dian servant, and a Hindu trick. Inter-
, venes, and James, master of Ballan
trae, gallant scoundrel that he Is. passes
out as the only logical conclusion and
denouement. 7
The piece is effectively staged. It
,wlll go tonight and tomorrow afternoon
and tomorrow night at the Hellig.

Mr. Weasel Reforms
WHEN Tinker Bob looked around he
saw a familiar creature. But this
creature did not expect to see him. It
was none other than Mr. Weasel the
Great. He was searching about for
Pika the Cony Hare, and was now very
close to the place here Pika had been
sheltered.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Wea
sel?" At the name of "Mr. Weasel" the
young gopher was startled and scam
pered back into his house under the
ground. Mr. Weasel himself was a lit
tle startled, for he was not expecting to
see the King at this time nor at this
place.
"I've been looking for the Cony Hare
all night long, but I haven't seen a
sign of him anywhere."
"But why do you want to see hlmT
Didn't you look for him when all the
forest dwellers were present T
"Oh King. I couldn't believe that It
was a fair game, so I thought I would
try it out alone and if I could find him
that I would never kill another creature
to suck his blood."
"Well, you haven't found him yst,
have you ? Now what are you going to
do?" Tinker Bob was anxious to know
If he had come to a conclusion.
"1 am going to give up." said Mr,
Weasel, "and I'll never hunt for him
again."
Toung Pocket Gopher heard what Mr.
Weasel had said and came out to view
this terrible creature of the forest.
"Hello, who's. this t" said Mr. Weasel.
"This la young Pocket Gopher, his
home is hers In the earth."
"Oh, because he has a pocket on each
side of his jaw where he can store his
food for carrying."
"Oh, nflk" said the King. He has long
claws and just turns them under when
he walks; then when he wants to bur
row in th ground he spreads his claws
out for use. -.

Whiteside 'Remembers When '
K at t X X X X X X
There Was Draft in the Grave
By Vella Winner
In the estimation of Walker White
side and his is an estimation worth
considering the most amusing thing in
the amusement world today is the rap
Idly growing evidence of a revulsion
from the jazz and slang of the past 10
years, and renewed appreciation and
keen enjoyment of the good English
and general high tone to bo found In
romantic literature.
"True to tradition, history is repeat
ing itself in the matter of taste tn tilings
dramatic and musical," said Mr. White
Bide, who is a guest at the Hotel Port
land over the week-end while playing
"The Master of Ballantrae" at the 1
Heilig.
"Feeling this revulsion myself for the
play where the curtain goes up to re
veal a man working on a safe, or a
popping of guns laying half a doaen
low, or a physician walklpg the floor
with a raving maniac in the next room,
the misdeeds of whose ancestors he
needs must tell, and for the dialogue
that opens with youse guys' and ends
with 'some baby,' I determined to try
something better. One must not be too
'high brow' we all have to keep an
eye on the box office but something
that at least is written In good English.
I did not expect the thing to go big,
but it has far exceeded my expectations.
The good thing Is really 'coming back,'
to use a colloquialism.
"What I have said about the drama
is equally true of the musical comedy.
Booth Tarklngton's 'Monsieur Beau
caire' set to music had a wonderful
run In London and then It came to the
New Amsterdam theatre In New Tork,
where It has played to bigger business
than 'The Merry Widow' or 'Madame
Sherry' or "'Princess Chic' or any of the
compositions of that type ever did."
Then Mr. Whiteside grew reminiscent
and told me his story up to the mo
ment of the big decision to play New
York. The big decision came in Ga
lena, Kan.
'TWAS BITTER COLD NIGHT
"It was a bitter cold night. The
'op'ry house' was of the town hall type,
with a curtain that rolled up on a log.
As a matter of fact, when we encoun
tered a curtain that went straight up
and down we all used to get to the
theatre very early and make up care
fully in celebration of the rare event.
This night in Galena, Kan., I was play
ing 'Hamlet' to an audience of about
an even dozen. After the performance
I announced that I was going to New
York. Going to New York didn't mean
anything to me. I felt that I had a
thorough knowledge of the classics and
more than a fair command of the rudi
ments of acting, so I decided to play
New York, and I did.
"A friend of mine, Joe Wlnterman of
Chicago, fixed up the business end
we had been kids together. He decided
to become a printer at about the same
time I decided to become a sprinter
ratlroad-tle sprinter, that Is. He had
been doing my printing for my road
shows, and we were the 1 closest of
friends. He arranged for the old Union
Square theatre in New York for me,
so I gave them the 'bard' tn New York,
but there were a lot of people living
there at the time who were not aware
of it.
BALKED 03T GHATS
"About S o'clock tn the afternoon of
the opening day X dropped around to
the theatre Just to see how things were

VINCENTE BALLESTER, as Tonlo,
the clown, In "I Pagllacct," set the
farthest recesses of The Auditorium
rinsing with the wonderful power of his
voice tn the performance of the San
Carlo Opera company Thursday night.
Ballestere responded to three encores
at the end of his singing of the "Pro
logue" and wop the heart of the vast
audleuce no less by the appealing purity
of his voice ahan by his perfect acting
of a difficult part.
Manuel Salatar as Canio and Paolo
Galazzl as Silvio were no less deserving
of the unstinted praise showered upon
them, and Sofia Charlebols' Interpreta
tion of Nedda left nothing to be de
sired. Luciano Rossini added the In
terest of a charming personality to the
part of Harlequin and carried tUe vocal
work involved with becoming grace.
The performance of "Cavallerla Uus
t lean a" was no less pleasing that that
of "I Pagliacci." Stella De Mette. as
Santussa, and Romeo Boscacci, as Tu
rtddu, upheld the finest traditions of
the opera and unusual Interest was at
tached to the part Apt Mama Lucia hy
the rare qualities pf Alice Homer's
voice.
Bettlna Freeman, who was sched
uled to sing Santusza, was taken sud
denly 111 Thursday morning and was
unable to appear. Other changes were
made in both operas Thursday night.
According to the management. bo
receipts show a gain of more than 81200
ever a similar period during the visit
of the San Carlo company last year. The
bill offered for tonight Is "Lucia dl
Lammermoor."
Saturday afternoon "Carmen" Is the
opera and Saturday night the season
closes with "II Trovatore."
