STUART WALKER WAS iNSPlRfeb
TO TRY PORTABLE THEATER BY
SUCCESS OF COLLAPSIBLE TUB
Tbe Portmanteau theatre,
i which Stuart Walker, its creator, I
' will unfoll Thursday evening, and
f Friday afternoon and evening at
the Grand theater, la just what Its
rime Implies a portable, fcollaps
S ible theater,: which cornea packed
f in 10 boxes, and which can be
I taken apart, set up and packed
up again at ; three hours' .notice.
I An Intereisttag eJconomy ia that
the crates in which the scenery is
"9 carried ."form : the stage floor.
Tien set up, the theater dis
closed a , completely ".'equipped
stage,, proscenium, curtains, and a
lighting system which ; Includes
dimmers and color effects, i For
quick ! shifting of. keenest it uses
the simple Elizabethan system of

low "front page," the inner stage
is being set' for the' foildwlng
play. The Portmanteau is manned
by a full etage crew, and carries
& professional company.
The Fortfflanteaa" is the only
porta bl theater In : the - United
States, . K distinctive - feature is
that nothing . is need on the stage
which' is not. absolutely essential
to the action of the play. Walker
feels that the theater, of today is
in a rut o( realism-tage settings
have bicoiae so real that one can
not, ielt whether he is In the thea
ter or In ' his " neighbor's house:
So, fn .addition to -providing - an
Imaginative variety of scenery
and costume, Mr. Walker has
trlpednhis4 stage '"PJf the,; bits f
detail which clutter up most pro
fessional productions of the day.
Tha Portmanteau relies on color
and line for its effect; and variety
is achieved by devices of lighting
Mr, Walker says his inspiration
for, a Portmanteau theater came
while be was bathing in a collaps

"Why, of.' course you could,

Gods of tie Mountain," acclaimed
'by critics as "the finest play of
Its kind in,the,ngli3h language,"
when Stuart Walker unpacks his
famous Portmanteau theater in
Salem, Thursday evening. This
work of the Irish genius possesses
singular dramatic simplicity and
orce, a work infused with the
jnagic of poetic speech, and car
rying a depth of appeal limited
only, by the intellectual capacity
of the spectator.

matinee Friday afternoon, is. ac-

Mr. Walker, its . author, it has

little theater organizations
throughout the ccuntry. So In

OAC .Wins Thrilling Victory
Over Husky Five Score
33 to 26
CORVALLIS, Or., Feb. 2. The
victorious rush of the University
or wasnington Huskies toward a
northwest basketball pennant ran
headlong into a snag here tonight
against the Oregon Aggies.
OAC won a thrilling game 3J to
29 in the last seven minutes by
coming up from behind with a
barrage of baskets shot from all
angles. i .: "
Washington was leading 25 to
23, with' seven minutes to go. Gill
for the Aggies tied it with an easy
basket. Stoddard followed with
a beautiful overhead throw that
dropped in for a goal from mid
floor. With this one point lead,
the Aggies were never headed.
EUGENE, Or., Feb. 2. The
University of Oregon's chances of
winning in the 'basketball game
with University of Washington
here Monday were lessened today
when it was announced that Hal
Chapman, veteran guard, is out of
the game with an injury to one
of his knees. It is the same in
jury that kept him out of several
games during the football season.
Coach Reinhart has not yet an
nounced who will replace Chap
man.

One of the best non-conference
teams of tfte"northwest will play
Willamette university in a basket
ball game Monday night, when the
quintet of the Washington State

comes on the floor. Already this
year the visiting team is the claim-

years before this year the Cheney
school has made a remarkable rec

have won 53 out of 63 games play-'
ed during that time.
So far this season the teachers
have experienced only two defeats,
one at the hands of Washington
State college by the score of 30 to
27. Thp other was in a close game ;
with the Spokane Athletic associa

This one was the Spokane game
The Washington - State Normal
school has a student body of about
the same size as Willamette and
there is no doubt that this fray
will be a fast one and full of
thrills as the teams are so evenly
matched.
It is a certainty that Stienciph-

for the cardinal and gold. In pre
vious games Jones has not been
listed as a heavy scorer, but it is
his quick snap passes that work

soon after the tip-off.

Whitman and Pacific roughed it'
around the floor during most of
the contest tonight, and the sec
ond eamp went to Whitman bv a
28 - 15 count. The score at halt
time was 14-7. and then whitman
went to a 25-9 lead and put in a
number of substitutes. The rough
and ragged playing was in great
contrast to 'last night's brilliant
basketball. Whitman made pretty
ball at the start and ran up an
8-2 lead, but from that point on
the play became rough and rag
ged. Schneider of Pacific and Faust
of Whitman were tied for high
scoring, with 7 points eacn, tnougn
neither played the full game, the
former receiving an injured shoul

who was passing so Quietly and
yet so steadily. There was a bag

table, stood the empty chair on

while he murmured grace before
sitting down to meals even in
other days when he was so ill
that his voice was hardly audible.

read a passage before going to

Never once has Mr. Wilson giv
