AUXILIARY SHOW
WAS PLEASANT
VAUDEVILLE ARTISTS SCORE A HIT
City and Valley Talent Participates in
Vaudeville Children Win Plaudits
in Penrod Show
If any scouts for the Orpheum cir
cu't were here last Friday it may re
sult in grief for families whose young
sons participated in the Penrod show
of the Women's Auxiliary of the Amer
ican Legion. The scouts are liable to
kidnap Jamie Pierson, Bobbv Per'go,
Ronald Ingalls, Kelsay Slocom, Glen
Abraham and Leonard Slocom and pre
sent them as the modern juvenile stage
wonders.
These boys, in an adaptation of
Booth Tarkington's kid stories, played
with a naturalness. They went through
their parts as though the stage were a
real backyard. Self - consciousness
seemed lacking, and the audience was
delighted. Kelsay Slocom played the
little darky boy Herman, and Jamie
Pierson was that modern Huck Finn,
Penrod Seofield. But for the fact that
it would be a repetition, a sketch of
the action would be in order. The Ri
alto had every seat taken, however,
every part of the valley being repre
sented. The tricks of the boys have
already been well recounted by word
of mouth.
The well acted parts of the adult
participants carried off the Tarkington
sketch to the pleasure of the audience.
E. E. Lage played the Rev. Mr. Kinos
iing. Mrs. A. G. Lewis and Mrs. C.
H. Jenkins were gossiping spinsters,
calling at the home of George Baspett,
who was Leonard Slocom, the saintly
child. When George used the word
hell, it caused Mrs. Jenkins to faint,
upset the minister and left his mother,
a part admirably played by Mrs. A. S.
Keir, in a state of collapse.
Except for "Dear Old Yale," a seri
ous skit, with some moments of com
edy interrupting tragedy, the show
was musical. The cast was:
Father Astador, C. N. Clarke; Prof.
Lathrop Peabody, of Yale Univeristy,
Geo. R. Wilbur; Eli Morris, protege
of Peabodv, Harold Hershner; Mr.
Hurst, F. A. Cram; Edith Hurst, Ger
trude Home ; Mr. Scranton, Hugh G.
Ball; Marjory Scranton, Mrs. C. N.
Clarke.
A party of Yale archaeologists, one
of whose members has killed a Xeri
beck barbarian. Is stopping at a Syrian
mission house when the nomads send
word that the mission will be wiped
out unless one of the men is turned
over to pay the death debt for the
killed Xeribeck. The choice of a sac
rifice is made by lot a game of draw
poker, in which all of the men partici
pate. , One by one the players drop out
until Mr. uersnner, wno piay me pari
of a rich man's son a prodigal, out on
the scientific expedition as the protege
of the professor, and Mr. Wilbur alone
are left. The cards are dealt Mr. Wil
bur announces his hand and then Mr.
Hershner dropping his cards, says:
"1 drew for a flush and didn't get it.
Fata is playing as she should. It is
right that this should fall on me."
He then asks to be left alone for a
time, and when the others have filed
out he takea from his pocket the pic
ture of a girl, bending over it at a
table uttering like a prayer the follow
ing: "Helen, I have tried to make good.
I wonder if I have."
In the morning, the women still in
ignorance of the approach of tragedy.
the barbarians come and make their
demands. Mr. Hershner, before going
forth to his doom, asks twice for the
song, "Good Old Yale." As he leaves
Mrs. Clarke notes the card hands and
while looking at them expresses aston
ishment at one. Mr. Wilbur seizes it,
finds a royal flush, sinks to the table
in anguish, crying:
"That was Morris hand!

two numbers. The singers were:

In solo and chorus singing ana in
pleasing dances the participants in
"Mademoiselle raree, a sketch with
out plot but characterized hy action
and music, were very pleasing. Cos
tuminsr was elaborate. The remarks
on the Penrod boys, relative to scouts,
might apply to the chorus and princi
pals in this little musical sketch, a
presentation of beauty, rhythm and
pleasant songs. Miss Dorothy Rand,
recently heard here in the K. of P.
show, took a lead in the "Puree"
show. Miss Rand sings with an en
thusiasm that is good to listen to, and
her voice indicates that her songs will
be demanded by many more audiences
far and near.
The acts of this sketch, the final
number of the evening, included :
Gaston, Don Metzgus; Heurette,
Mr. Frank Gilbert; Pierre, W. J. Col
lier; Marie, Doruthy Rand. Chorus,
from Follies Begere, Mrs. Chas. N.

with Mrs. C II. Henney directing,
whose operetta won them an ovation

selections for the Auxiliary show.
Mrs. L. L. Murphy, who directed
the show, gave two reading numbers.
She followed an overture by Kc.lt tad's
orchestra, which by the way, play with
a technique and abandon that no met
ropolitan aggregation can excel, with
a little greeting, and later gave a
"Second Hand Rose" which won her a
long round of applause and requrired
an encore number be r ore the audience
would desist.
The show was good and the audience
left in rare good humor, all ready to
ssy :
"Hello. Mrs. Murphy, Gjod Bye. It
was fine."

CLUB ASKS ACTION
ON CLOUD CAP INN
The Commercial club has initiated
through a resolution, unanimously
adopted by its membership, action
tended to stimluate development of the
scenic area around the north base of
Mount Hood in the vcinity of Cloud
Cap Inn. The resolution primarily was
directed at alleged inertia of Homer A.
Rogers, pioneer resort man who found
ed Mount Hood Lodge and who three
yearg ago leased the inn.
W. A. Langille, who introduced the
resolution, declared that this section
bids fair to lose a federal allotment of
about $25,000, to be utilized in building
a spur road from the Mount Hood Loop
Highway to the Inn section, unless
some assurance is given those who ad
minister the forest funds that Cloud
Cap Inn will be developed to the point
of taking care cf tourists who will use
the new road. Several speakers were
frank in their discussion of Mr. Rogers'
management of the hostelry proper
ties. It was declared that he was in
no position himself to meet require
ments asked by the forestry ' service
and that he made it impossible for
statewide hotel interests to buy him
out by placing an exorbitant price on
his property.
"I do not want to criticise Mr. Rog
ers or place a single straw in his way,"
said C. A. Bell, "but it does seem to
me that he has a feeling now that he
has the key situation to Mount Hood
arid is trying to get an enormous sum
of money out of it. We have built a
Columbia River Highway and a Mount
Hood Loop Highway, all of these works
ultimately looking to a development of
Mount Hood. We need to hasten pro
gress on this matter. It would be a
catastrohpe to lose this federal appro
priation." "We have Frank Branch Riley lec
turing in the cast," said Mr. Langille,
"and his lecture contains much oi
Mount Hood. We are inviting people
here and have no place to entertain
them." The resolution in full was as
follows :
"Whereas, It appears that the Btate
of Oregon, cooperating on an equal ba
sis with the state of Washington and
the province of British Columbia, is
expending large sums of money adver
tising the scenic assets of the Pacific
northwest; that the state of Oregon
has within itself created a tourist bu
reau for the dissemination of specific
information and bringing to the atten
tion of the traveling public the many
scenic attractions of the state; that
the federal government, the istate and
its counties have appropriated and ex
pended large sums of money in devel
oping roads and highways that tend to
make our scenic assets available to the
public and it further appearing that
Mount Hood is one of the most adver
tised and easily the most prominent
natural scenic feature of the state;
that it is readily approachable over the
now world - famous Columbia River
Highway through Hood River county,
and
"Whereas, Mount Hood is largely a
part of Hood River county and the
county's scenic pride ; that the county
has bonded itself for a considerable
sum thst is being expended develop
a highway system that lnieriocKa witn
foreet roads and will, with an addition
al spur road, make the northwest spur
of Mount Hood readily accessible to
the tourist and Bightseer, and
"Whereas, It further appears that
the forest service, upon whoiie pleasure
the extension of this road to the snow
line is dependent, and that certain in
dividuals are hindering the construction
of this proposed road by reason of their
not developing, and withholding from
development by others, this prominent
and historical point that is a pride of
Hood River county, and, it appearing
that this question ot dealing with this
anomalous situation is entirely in the
hands of the forest service, therefore
be it
"Resolved, That the forest service
be requested to take such immediate
action as will make this snow line lo
cation on Mount Hood at once available
and usable for auto and other tourists
by making it possible to provide suita
ble and ample accommodations for
their comfort and convenience at this
point.
"To this end the Hood River County
Commercial Club pledges itself to ex
tend to the forest service any support
that it may consistently render, and
respectfully requests such definite and
clear cut action in this matter as will
assure to the public that these accom
modations, in keeping with the timet
and the prominence of the place, will
be provided without further delay or
hindrance by anyone, and be it further
"Resolved, That copies of this reso
lution be sent to the Portland, Oregon,
Chamber of Commerce; Portland Hotel
Men's Association and other civic or
ganizations of nearby cities."
SOCIETY FIGURES IN
"FOOLISH WIVES"
Several hundred prominent San
Francisco society folk plaved roles as
humble extras in "Foolish Wives," the
million dollar picture to be seen at the
Rialto th ater on April 24 and contin
uing for three days. The millionaire
extras were used to give tone to the
promenade sceres which picture the
wealthy crowds surging alorg the
walks and terraces at Monte Carlo.
The Universal Film Co. in order to
produce these scenes built an immense
set at Point Ixihos, near Monterey,
Calif. The ocean fide of Monte Car
lo's famous casino, the bar.d'tand. and
the seaside promenades of the Riviera
resort were duplicated.
Participation by San Francisco'g 4(0
was obtained by Carl Laemmle presi
dent of the Universal, as the reult ct
a handsome contribution to a worthy
San Francisco charity. The wealthy
Golden Gate blue-bloods motored to
Monterey for the week end and devot
ed Sunday to strolling around the
Monte Carlo set, acting naturally, just
as if they were strolling around at
Monte Carlo. Meanwhile the cameras
clicked, and certain bits cf action for
the picture were enacted, against this
millionaire background, by Erich von
Stroheim and other principals in the
regular acts.
Many at Church on Easter
All churches were crowded Sunday
at Easter services. Mary churches
held evening services, and the attend
ance then was as marked as during the
morning worship hours.
A feature of the service! at River
side Community church was the at
tendance of about 50 rr,crr.lr of Hood
River Comrr.andery, Knights Terrplar,
who were present in their impressive
uniforms.
D'ANJOU PEARS
GOOD KEEPERS
EXPERIMENT STATION MAKES TESTS
Pears in Former Years Have Been Picked
Too Early Those Harvested
Late Keep Well
Oregon d'Anjou pears may become
as famed for their attractiveness and
long keeping qualities in export mar
kets as is the Oregon Newtown apple.
The impression has generally obtained,
both among growers and market men
that pears were more or less a fall
product and the market activity in
them haa never extended beyond the
holiday season.
Tests just made by the Experiment
Station with d'Anjous stored since har
vest time last fall demonstrate, in the
opinion of local fruit men, that the
Hood River valley d'Anjou may go into
the class of winter fruits characterized
by long keeping qualities. Indeed,
local growers and shippers declare that
the experiments may result in a re
newed fruit industry that will bring
thousands of dollars into the state in
future years.
The storage tests, conducted by Le
roy Childs and Gordon G. Brown, show
that growers have been picking their
d'Anjous entirely too soon. Last fall
the experiment station mer placed in
storage Iower Valley pears, of the
winter variety, picked September 3, a
date when most growers were harvest
ing their pears. They took from an
Upper Valtev orchard pears picked
September 22, October 1 and Oi tober
8. The Lower Valley fruit is badly
shriveled, is very unattractive to the
eye and is not appetizing While the
pears of the Upper Valley orchard,
picked September 22, are lightly
shriveled, they have a Rood flavor.
The fruit picked October 1 is plump
and fresh looking. It appeils to the
palate as well as the eye. The pears
picked October 8 are exceedingly tirm.
In tonnage,' appearance and keeping
quality, the pears picked on the last
dates are far superior.
"Indeed," says Mr. Brown, "the
test determines beyond a doubt that
the growers have been picking their
d'Anjous before they hae matured.
It explodes the fullaey, with respect to
this variety, that pears should be
peked a little green. The tonnage fea
U're is one that should appeal to grow
?:a. The fruit sizes rapidly just be
fore it ripens, as figures obtained by
us denote. The harvest time circum
ferences of the pears picked at ditfer
ent dates were as follows: Septem
ber 3, 8 7-16 inches ; September 22,
8 4-1(5 ; October 1, 9 4-16, and October
8, 9 6-16. The average weight gained
by each pear was about an ounce."
. Mr. Brown and Mr. Childs held their
grand 0(ening of pears Saturday after
noon. Numerous citizens were invited
up to their ollice to see the results of
the storage tests and to sample the
product. The luscious d'Anjous made
a hit.
FREDRICY APPOINTED
TO TRAILS CLUB
The Commercial club, at request of
the Old Oregon Trail Association,
Monday night elected J. H. Fredricy
as Hood River county's vice president
of the new organization. The local
club is considering participation at an
Oregon Trail celebration and pageant
at Baker July 4. Mr. Fredricy was
authorized by his fellow club men to
raise $100 for assistance in financing
publicity work of the old trail organiz
ation. Leslie Butler was originally
elected Hood River's vice president.
At the instance of C. A. Bell, the
club has adopted a resolution urging
that county and city authorities confer
and reach an agreement that will per
mit the holding of jury sessions of the
circuit court at the new city hall. The
room of the old couithouse is declared
entirely inadequate, and it is not
likely, it is declared, that a bond issue
will be voted soon for the construction
of a new building. The old quarters,
it is declared, are disgraceful in view
of the new woman's jury law.
A resolution introduced recently by
C. E. Graves and referred to the scenic
preservation committee of the club
called for the inclusion of th; Diamond
Lake National Forest in the Crater
Luke National Forest The committee,
however, after an investigation, has
asked that the club take no action.
C. O. Huelat for the civic committee
reported that the county had reported
that excavations of gravel pits at the
west edge of the city would ultimately
leave the property in better shape than
it is at present. Top excavations will
be dumped into old digging, it was
stated.
C. C. Crew for the house committee
called attention to tlie purchase of a
new billiard table. He warned plaveis
agairst abuse of the tsMe bv sitting
on them. This, he said, breaks (Ioaii
cushions.' The new ivory hulls cannot
stand a Hraft. ami as a result the I er
halves of the billiard room win lows
have been nailed down. Card ta'jlej
have been remove i frum the reception
room to the billiard room.
