SM COLD, DELAY DIDN'T HURT PLAY In Spile cf All These Disagreeable Features "Alias Jimmy Valentine" Was Huncly Enjoyed by Mcdford Theatregoers. UP SECRETARY FISHER SPOKANE, Wn., Nov. 11. United Stntcs Senntor Poindcxter here to day enthusiastically took the stand taken by Secretary of the Interior Fisher on the Alnsknn coal lands would co-operate with the adminis tration in every posible way to put tho policy into operation, provided the plan ns announced wnsfo!Iowed. "I am overjoyed to sec that the president has backed up Mr. Fisher in his stand for a government coal mine in Alaska with transportation by rail and wnter therefrom," said Poindcxter. "This is just exactly what myself nnd others have been contending for and the prospects of obtaining it now that the. adminis tration is behind us, are encourag ing. 'If tho president nnd Secretary Fisher supports us on the proposi tion for a road to the Mutnnuskn coal fields from Resurrection Bay, I surely will co-operate with them to the fullest extent." SAN RAFAEL, Cal. Whllo rival undertakers squabble for his body, John Howard Wilson, Chinese Inter preter nnd boltevcd to bo the son of a wealthy family, lies on a slab In tho morgue today. He has been lying thcro for 1C days -while all nttemnts to locate his relatives provo futllo. They were last heard of at tho Hotel Astor In Shanghai, China. Kveryono seemed to realize Hint wc were going to see an unusually good performance last night, nnd in spite of the cold, late train and it late curtain, a largo audience gath ered and waited with patience for the beginning, and they were well repaid for their pains. "Jimmy Vnleutine" is a play of unusual strength. Its chief merit lies in the fact that it follows closet v upon tho line of real human experi ence nnd emotion There is a strong sentiment in nil of us that delights in the reformation of n fellowman. This is evidenced in the interest that Med ford takes in Honor Camp No. 1 nnd it is due to this sentiment that we nrc evolving toward the light. But to the play. The cast was made up of real art ists, even to tho smallest part. H. B. Warner, the star, deserves praise for tho deliberate manner in which he played his part last night. A Ions journey, weary from travel, a hasty makeup, all these 'things would tend to destroy the precision nnd deliber ation that makes an artistic perform ance. But true nrtist that he is, he gave us the best he had, even to the Inst curtain. Phyllis Sherwood fit tho part of 'Rose Lane to perfection. She has personality plus, and personnl ity counts for everything on the stnge. Sho is still young. Givo her a few more years and she will be closed in n small group of which Maud Adams is one of the number. Maud Turner Gordon is nn old friend, having made her debut with tho Andrews Opera company, but her ability as nn actress being siicrior to her vocal attainments we advised her to adopt the drama rather than the ojwra. Sho is excellent in tho part of Mrs. Webster although the role is a minor one. A few years ago she alternated with Amelia Bing ham, afterwards staring in thnt lady's place in a New York run. Mis Gordon informs us thnt she is com ing back at tho close of the season to make Koine invibstments in 'he Rogue river valley. Mr. Reigel who played the part of the warden is an uncle of our Mr. Sprague Reigel, and by the wny Mr. Warner is nn old-time friend of Phil Hnmmil, in fact there were several of the company who had Medford friends, nnd there were n number of happy luncheon parties at the Mcdford in honor of the com pany. Among the entertainers were Mr. and Mrs. Ilnfer, Sprague Reigel, Mr. and Mrs. Hnmmil and Mr. and irrs. Fiero. It was a red letter per formance for Mcdford nnd "Jimmy Valentine" nnd company will be re membered with pleasure. ED ANDREWS.
