Richard Mansfield is a disappointment While the packed house at the Marquam last night gave considerable evidence of approval it was largely due to the ex tensive advertising which Mr. Mansfield has persistently had thanks to a very good press agent but he is not the ac tor, that one would naturally be lead to believe. If Mr. Mansfield had appeared before that audlanee. last evening; -gander A name totally tinknowh In PortbVnd the Marquam Grand management would have been takefl ; seriously to taskllor palming off something not up to expecta tions, but because It was Mr. Mansfield and the seats had come high, the audi ence took It for granted before going that the entertainment was very supe rior, and that they would, get their money's worth. In all of which they were mistaken. Mr. Mansfield Is not a great actor. In his character as Beaucalre he falls far short of making a graceful, enter taining Frenchman, such as Booth Tark ington had in mind when writing the story. Mr. Mansfield's poses v and ges tures, even his articulation is bad when Criticised from a particularly artistic standpoint. He might just as well be taken for a German as a.' Frenchman, and his poses and his 'gestures are neither elegant nor artistic Comparing !nv-.ttth' such a . man -as: Mr. Willard. who recentfy appeared at the same place to half empty benches, there is a large difference fla can well be - noted. Mr. WMlard is head and shoulders above him from every point of view. Mr. Mans field, like' a number of other actors upon the American stage, assumes the whole .how, and as a consequence has a sup port thttt is quite inferior to high-class, well-balanced companies.

The,. Varied work being done by the Women's clubs of the country was told in a most interesting waypby Mrs, M. Trenholm Hidden, of Vancouver, at the central meeting of the W. C. T. U. at Taylor Street church yesterday after noon. Her idea was to present the mat' ter so it would, awaken interest among those present and she was eminently successful. In introducing her lecture she said "It Is a good thing to glance over fields other than our own as we are so apt to overlook what others are doing and think only of ourselves. We of the churches and W. C. T. U.'s make a mis take in not allying ourselves with other good organizations. I belong to a num ber of clubs and never did I realize un til I attended the bl-ennlal federation at Los Angeles what a great philanthropic work they are doing. They have adopted the 'do-everythlng policy. Although the membership ot these clubs Is made up of what la termed the 'cream ot society. yet during the convention scarcely a thought was given to ' social gatherings. only one reception being held." She then spoke of the advantage of clubs in their various lines and ended by showing what could be accomplished In the matter of reform movements if the women of the clubs would co-oper ate with those of the W. C. T. U., when the two bodies could work together In great strength. The preliminary exercises were con. ducted by Mesdames Scott Greggs, Stone and others. . Make Two Attempts to Break Into Piedmont I Store. ; -; An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the cigar and lunch room at the Piedmont station of the City & Suburban Railway Company early last Friday morning.

Hastily getting out of bed, ha was about to go-outside to see the cause of the disturbance, .when, stand ing In front of one of the side windows he received a sharp blow on the head. caused by a stick being thrown- through the window and mashing' the glass. There being two robbers, one of them began to cut the City A Suburban report box, afterward removing the receiver in the hope that they could make their es cape before the police authorities could be notified, but they had figured without their host as there was another tele phone inside the depot, by which the police were called up. Officer Patton was sent to the scene of the disturbance from Wood lawn, and of ficer Julius Kalllch. brother of the pro prietor of the station, was also sent for. When he arrived the three men made a search of the s surrounding country. Returning to the station about S:oo, al ter an unsuccessful chase, the party caught sight of the robbers as they Jumped Into a buggy after a second at tempt to rob the place. , Officer Kalllch fired three shot at the party, but no one was hit, the robbers making their escape by driving swiftly up Vancouver avenue toward the city.
