MISS ROBERTS
IS CONVINCING
Scores a Success in "Tess
of the d'Urbervilles" at
the California Theater
SUPPORT is EXCELLENT
Orpheum Presents MeritOr-
ious Bill for the Week.
NeilI Company at Grand

Just what might have been ex-
pected from Miss Roberts comfort
able, sincere and engaging talent hap
pened with her Tess Of the d'Urber-
villes' last night at the California
Theater.
Some three years ago at the same
theater Mrs. F'iske presented the play.
With it Miss Roberts last night opened
her usual summer engagement to an
audience that filled every seat in the
house. The popular little actress was
welcomed in the usual hearty fashion
and as usual deserved all she got.
But Miss Roberts is not Mrs. Fiske-
in which there is more than meets
the eye. Nor, with all due respect, is
Mrs. Fiske Miss parison
being better fun than criticism here.
The matter is intimately one of per-
sonality. Mrs. Fiske could not, for
instance, with her tense, brilliant lit
tie face and supremely mental art,
ever quite succeed in suggesting the
utter naivete of the Tess of the earlier
scenes of the play. Here Miss Rob-
erts is charmingly successful She
brings a freshness, simplicity, tender
ness that engage Immediately the pity
and sympathy of the auditor for the
unhappy girl. One never quite felt
that Mrs. Fiske's Tess could be so
hardly treated. One felt she could
help herself and everybody else.
From the moment, however, when
Tess sells herself to Alec for her starv-
ing family, Mrs. Fiskes moment be-
gan. And there Miss Roberts ended.
In the pleasure of the first two acts
one begins to hope that the big third
would also 60 Can she?-one kept
asking ones self, as In simple, woman
ly and appealing fashion, with q right
strong note where Tess goes "out into
the night" with Alec, the part was
built up. But that tense magnetism
that holds the scene without word
is not Miss Roberts, Where Tess takes
the too-long economical carving knife
to Alec there were not few laughs.
Never, as with Mrs. Fiske, did one
feel the supreme nervous goad of the
situation. 1t is quite possible, how
ever, that the scene will strengthen
and the Characterization will certainly
be enjoyed as it is, in it's charming
first scenes of the best Of Miss Roberts
work.
The supporting company in part is
excellent. Miss Roberts has Hobart
Bosworth, former leading man with
Mrs. Fiske, as leading man, and as
with Mrs. Fiske, the Alec d'Urber-
vile.
Mr.. Bosworth is an admirable brute
where brute he needs to be, otherwise

NEWSBOY MIRACULOUSLY
ESCAPES BEING KILLED
Charles Gardner, Knocked Down by
Car and Wedged in Running
Gear, SuStains Injuries.

Charles Gardner, a newsboy, had a
miraculous escape from death yester-
day morning under the wheels of an
Eddy street car. In response to a
signal from a woman on the opposite
side of the street he started across
the car tracks TO sell a copy of The
Call. He failed to notice an ap-
preaching car and being deaf did not
hear the changing of the gong or the
warning shouts of the motorman.
The car knocked the boy down and
when it was brought to stop he was
found wedged in the front truck. The
passengers thought he had been
killed. They secured scantlings from
an adjacent lumber pile and pried up
the car in order to release the boy.
When he was finally dragged from his
perilous position it was found that he
had escaped serious injury
Mrs. L. Muston of the Apollo Ho-
tel witnessed the accident and tele-
phoned to the Central Emergency
Hospital for the ambulance. She also
notified the Fire Department. The
members of Truck Company No. 8
were quickly on the scene, but the
boy had been released before their ar
rival. He was taken to the Central
Emergency Hospital, where a few
slight wounds on his head and hands
were dressed.

Short Stop and Then Leave
for California

PORTLAND, Aug. 2S.-Three train
loads of Knights Templar on their
way to the grand encampment at San
Francisco, spent to-day in this city,
and left tonight for California. The
Templars were all from Pennsylvania.
One train contained the Philadelphia
Commandery, the second the Corinth-
ian Chasseurs and the last was made
up of Knights from other portions of
the State.
The brevity of their stay prevented
the Oregon Commandery arranging Il
formal programme of entertainment.
and as it was the wish of the visit
ing Knights they were taken in car
riages and on the cars about the city
and to the Lewis and Clark fair
grounds. In the afternoon they were
served with a buffet luncheon and
then visited the new Masonic Cathez
dral.
The Denver Commandery is expect
ed here tomorrow night. These
Knights will leave the train at The
Dalles and come to Portland down the
Columbia River by boat in order to
better view the scenery. Wednesday
evening the Pittsburg Commandery
will arrive in its $S5, 900 special train
Of ten cars.
