"Looking for Many Jane" Wiu Ab
proval of Large Audience. Mu-
' - gieal Nvmbera Please, ,
, fitudenti of Beaverton high school
appeared before a capacity house at
WW auaitorium nvBonwuny imbhi.
' won unstinted praise in their pro
duction of "Looking; for Mary Jane."
Th nl&v itmilf wu a fine vehicle for
portraying the dramatic talents of
the students. . The situations which
arose in the production called for
careful coaching, nramatic taienc
and quick thinking and these quali
ties were evident oh many occasions
as the play proceeded.
The plot is based on the adven-
, tuna of three young men,, one a
scion oi, wealthy parents, who start
oat on a quest for Mary Jane in or
der to appease a whim of the -elder
Mr. -Merrifield. They arrive at the
boarding house where Mary Jane is
.. supposed to live. Here they en
counter Ambrose Paddmgton, a tern-
f peramental musical composer, Glad
ys, a serving maid who haB formerly
worked In a restaurant and has - a
gentleman friend who is a police
man; Miss Wentworth, niece of the
boarding house keeper; Marie Var
nc', a chaining young widow; Wing
Qii. a Chinese laundryman, who
wants to collect a bill; Carlita Ro
magna Schultz, a prima donna who
, has tried to smuggle a Chinaman
over from Mexico; her husband who
manages the opera company, and
the thrills come thick and fast.
Roy Emmons as John Merrifield,
the eccentric Chicago millionaire,
who wants to marry his son to Mary
Jane, was testy and impatient but
thought fast and covered up many
lapses that occurred on the part of
others. Elmer Erickson, as Augus
tus Merrifield, was at his best in the
transition from the son about to be
sacrificed on the altar of Hymen to
an ardent devotee at the shrine oi.
Cupid. Edward Boring, as Charles
Barnes, Augustus' chum, was a quick
thinker, a careful plotter and exe
cuted his difficult part in a pleasing
manner. Ureal Narver as Berkeley
Crane, displayed dramatic talent
that at once won him a place with
the audience. Honors for character
portrayal easily went to Joe Merrill
in his characterisation of Ambrose
Paddmgton, the excitable musical
composer. Praia is also due to Al
nha Williams for the maner in which
she portrayed the difficult part of
Gladys; the serving' girl. Edna
Hneken was most charming as the
young widow. Delia Allen, as the
Prima Donna, sustained her part
well, but did not find in it the oppor
tunities that her talents merit. The
same is true of Violetta" Spraner as
the young boarding house mistreBs.
Hartwell Schroeder, as the China
man, acted the part well but was
bothered with the accent. His cos
tume and makeup were striking and
interesting. John Hicks made up to
a typical German opera promoter.
If he could just talk with the proper
German accent without snowing ev
eryone that it requires constant ef
fort, he would have found his proper
role to attain fame. Albert Kem
mer made a husky expressman but
his handling of the trunk should dis
courage any ambition he may have
to embark in that business.
... Music between the acts was fur
nished by Miss Florence Snider and
Mr. Sterling Erickson with piano and
drums. Miss Snider sang delightful
ly between the first and second acts,
accompanied by . M;bb Crete Gray at
the piano.
BRYANT WASHBURN TIPS OFF
HUSBANDS IN LATEST PICTURE
, Bryant Washburn and Lois Para-mount-Artcraft
picture, "Why Smith
Left Home," which is to be shown at
the Pacific theatre Thursday, offers
husbands a novel proceedure to fol
low it tneir wives oecome incensed
at something and carry out a threat
to "go home to mother." Mr. Wash
burn, as Smith, is on a much inter
rupted honeymoon. Wrecks, fires, a
pursuing aunt, and finally an earth
quake are leagued against him. A
pretty serving maid inveigles him into
rather a compromising situation, and
his young bride, angered, starts to
leave in an automobile with her
sunt. Smith quickly disguises him
self as a footpad and, holding up the
machine at the revolver point, kid
nans his wife.
This is the laughable climax to
what is declared to be a thoroughly
enjoyable picture, crowded with
novel situations and mirth. Lois
Wilson is again Mr. (Washburn's lead
ing: woman, and others in the cast
are Walter Hiers, Maym Kelso, Mar
garet Loomis, Winter Hall and Car
rie Clark Ward. Donald Crisp was
the director.

Husbands Other Wife," he created a
fascinating story with a complicated
situation. Wlhen J. Stuart Black ton

Robert Gordon, Warren Chandler and
May McAvoy, portraying the four
principal characters, made the story
live,- ' -

you behind the scenes in a theatre
and shows you the private life of

Formerly, all sales were from stocks

The prices were low compared to

Heretofore, inquiries from the east
have been mostly for large sizes but
lately the inquiry has been for all
