"1 ITECARGO'MS in c iJCDi: cnnn U ilLllL uuuiy Great Stage Success Is to Be Shown at the Heilig Theatre on Nov, 12 "The Tony Express," produced for Paramount by James Cruse and now playing at the Oregon theatre, is a well-knit and thrill ing story of the West just .prior to the election of President Lin coln, when California was i. hesi tating between North and South, showing the inauguration and op eration of the famous Pony Ex press and giving a glimpse of the young Mark Twain. Jack Weston, a debonair gam bler and a dead shot, has; been condemned to die because of his anti-slavery orations by Senator Glen, who leads the Southern i cause in: California, but be es capes and. goes to Julesburg, where he becomes a Pony Express rider. - , j lllis rival for the hand of ; Molly Stevens is Slade, superintendent of the Overland Stage company, a notorious "bad man" who tries to discredit Weston in the eyes of Molly and who later makes an unsuccessful attempt on his lite. Slade has arranged with Glen to - suppress the news . of Lincoln's election in order that California f may be swung over to the South- 'ern side, this state being an im portant factor in the fight against slavery. . t ; The story tells of the defeat of Blade's plans by Weston's wit and daring. Weston assists in the de fense of Julesburg against a band of Indians led by a half-breed in league with Slade. Weston wins the girl and is later elected to political office. ' , This is a story combining his torical fact with the element of romance that distinguished the West of former days. - Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrenee and Wallace Beery are featured in the cast of the production. The story is by Henry James Forman and Walter Woods. The biggest thing Cruze has ' done yet is what - Paramount , claims of "The Pony Express."

"How do you like painting from head to foot every day?" This unique question was asked Isabelle Herbert. For the benefit of those unitiat ed in the knowledge of the charac ter of Tomdeleyo, which she will play at the Heilig Thursday, Nov ember 12, suffice to say that it is one which requires the services of a colored maid to completely cover Miss Herbert's body with a coat of light "tan from head to foot. Tondeleyo in "White Cargo" is an alluring primitive vamp whose blood contains a mixture of French and native West African, combining the impulsive character of the Parisienne with the prim itive passions of the jungle wom an, and as she correctly describes herself, "'most white."! Miss Herbert's makeup is an elaborate one to put on and to take off, so, in orde'rlto play the primitive she requires jail the mod ern, up to date plumbing systems. However, modern theatres of to day are equipped with baths and showers. The producer, Earl Car roll, has provided against contin gencies by carrying a collapsible bath tub, so that Miss Herbert, with the help of her maid, can be boiled white after each perform ance. "If 'cleanliness is next to Godliness', then I'm sijirexf it, for I've done much scrubbing and washing in this part" jshe said. The interviewer said: "Miss Ho bert, you look familiar to .me, but your wonderful makeup hides your features. I just can't place where I've seen you before.'l Mis3 Her bert smilingly replied: "I'm glad something is hid. for this part re quires so few clothes that at times I am abashed to go on: You know in playing the character of a na tive vamp, the costumes which J Heading the new show at the Bligh today is Florence McNally and her American ballet. Seven people make up the company, and each is an artist. This number is considered one of the cleverest revues seen here this season. Ryan and Moore will offer their singing and talking turn called Fall Is Here." - This duo has a hew line, of material and there is plenty of fun in their offering. ; Revolving Collins will do some hair-raising stunts on roller skates for his part of the show. Some real spins are the features in his offering. A popular pair will be Lamey and Pearson. They sing and chat, in fact do a little bit of everything to entertain. To close the show Kenny and Burt known as the Flying Sailors will work on the rings, and fea ture strong-arm stunts, for their part of the program. The bill is well balanced and offers plenty of comedy. S wear are an exact reproduction of what they-wear out there; or pos sibly, I should say, what they don't wear." - i , V " .1.

The Taylor players, with Miss Anne Berry man in the leading feminine role, pre sented this drama at tthe Heilig theater in Portland for five per formances last "week, and played before capacity houses at each per formance. It proved so popular that word comes from Portland that Mr. Taylor is being urged to repeat it at a later engagement. Portland reviewers gave Mr. Tay lor's role the most laudable no tices ever given a production in that city. "Hell Bent for Heaven" was written bv Hatcher Hughe3. and was awarded the Pulitzer prize of 1924 sis the best dramatic offering of that season. It tells a pictur esque story of the quaint folk of the Blue Ridge mountains of Ten- nessee and bares them in their loves, prides, feuds and hatreds as few dramas have done. Mr. Taylor's part is that of jRufe Pryor, the religious fanatic, who believes himself a divine instru ment and who nearly wrecks a village and two families in his ef fort to re-kindle an old feud and win the hand of a mountain girl. It is described as one of those plays which is never forgotten once it has been seen. MOTHER! IE uu 0 ON EDAY ONLY MAT. and EVE. THURSDAY N O V. 4 Years N. Y.
