Few specialties in farce-comedes are
more iaughable than the act of Rose Mel
Vile in THE Prodigal Father" now at the
Park Theater Miss Melville appears in the
play as Dollie Bond, who is supposed to be
a dashing serio-comic. This character she
sustains well, both in looks and action.
throughout the three acts. III her Special
ty," which comes just before the close of
the performance, Miss Melville transforms
herself into certainly the .jayest" girl ever
seen on the stage. She puts in ten minutes
posing as sis Hopkins from Slab Hollow, .
and during that time keeps the audience in
a roar of laughter. She portrays a type
rarely seen on the stage, possibly for the
reason that Miss Melville has had the spe-
cialty copyrighted and therefore it cannot
be worn threadbare by imitators The only
here was by Louise Allen Collier, in 1892 -
she gave something similar, though not
nearly as long or as good as the copyrighted
act OF Miss Melville. Another good thing
in The Prodigal Father" is Dave Halpin' S
dancing tramp, a very clever perform
ance. George Spinkss monoogue with the
aid of some unique piano playing, catches
the audience every time. Lynn Welcher
and Jules Garrison, the latter assisted by
Ella Garrison, aid very materially in enter
tanning The travesties of the Garrisons
are exceptionally good and up to date Bella
Gold sings several parodes and Marbelle
Davies does some very pretty toe dancing
There are other specalties in THE s,rodi-
gal Father" which, all in all, make it an
exceedingly bright performance. The story
of the comedy-that of an old man telling
fairy stories about a supposed trip to ART
ca-is familiar TO theater-goers here 1t
leads to many complications and is the ba-
sis of great deal of clean comedy. THE
Prodigal Father will be seen to-day and
tomorrow. Morrison's Faust comes Mon
day for a weeks stay.

Grand-t'A Secret Warrant"
There is no warrant for making public "a
Secret Warrant which Robert Mantell pre-
scented at the Grand last night to a fair
sized audience. 1t is described on the pro-
gramme as "a romantic drama in four acts.
suggested by an episode in French history
There is little more than this episode in
the entire play and when an episode is
dragged out for four acts without skirt
dances. whistling specialties or horizontal
bar performance to relieve the monotony
it is asking a tri1e too much. The episode
itself is not worth relating. The play
abounds in long and decidedly commonplace
dialogue and is so devoid of action that one
wonders at times why the actors do not
yawn for very lack of anything to keep
them awake. The only thing approaching
an exciting scene for Mr.. Mantell is a little
sword play in the last act This is fenc-
ing bout with q friend and an intoxicated
friend at that the latter being at such a
manifest disadvantage that the admirers of
Mantel felt he had descended somewhat
from his lofty ground of lighting for honor
and women. The play reeks with old stereo-
typed lines as: "Cio. guh-oh and--uh leave
me-" "think-a-well before you decide;"
II will play this game to the
end. l will fight it out for me
honor and the woman love- Truly, there
is absolutely nothing in "A Secret War
rant for Mr.. Mantell, and it was only by
the greatest effort that he was able to force,
at rare intervals. sign of applause from
the audience. The company is likewise
handicapped for lack of opportunity. There
IS redeeming bit of coloring in the role of
the regents favorite played by Nina Morris.
an Eastern girl who is new in the West
but who fits the part as if born for it. The
advance notices of Mr.. MantelTs new play
contained the following: Never has this
remarkable actor had a character more pic
turesquely powerful than this, and never
has he appeared In a play of such continu-
GUS and unhagging interest" 1t might be
added that never was Mantell given such a
worthless role since he became a star and
the play drags like a funeral procession
While the production is beautifully cos
tuned, it is given without any special scenic
invsstiture and all in all is wholly UNI
worthy of Robert Mantells talent.

Failing to do SO he knotted a handker-

to death. Mrs. Cheesman summoned
assistance and her husband made rec
ord OF his seventh failure.
His wife then left him and Chees-

Little Known to Tourists.

lIlilSc huOWn TO tourists.
Crater lake, in the Cascade noun
tains of Oregon, is easily the jewel of
the northwest, says Science. 1t is
hoped that means of reaching it will
be perfected in the near future, so that
1t may be visited by the thousands Of
tourists and others who now content
themselves with the Grand canyon of
the Colorado, the Yellowstone park and
the Yosemite. 1t can now be reached
by good wagon roads from Ashland,
Medford and klamath Falls, but there
are no regular conveyances or stop
ping places. Crater lake is a beautiful
sheet of ~indigo-blue water, about six
miles in length by four and one-half
in breadth. 1t occupies the crater or
caldron of an extinct volcano and is
completely surrounded by a precipitous
wall varying from 1000 to something
over 1000 feet in height. A remark
ably perfect and symmetrical cinder
cone, with a crater at its summit, forms
an lsland-WiZard island-which rises
$40 feet above the surface of the lake.
The lake was sounded by Maj. G. E.
Dutton in 1886 and found to be 1000
feet in greatest depth. It's surface tenn
perature is 50 or so degrees F. The
altitude of the rim of the crater varies
from about 1000 to $500 feet. Crater
Lake mountain is covered with a mag
nificent forest of conifers, arranged in
~well-marked belts or zones, from base
to summit. The monstrous cones of
