MILITARY A GREAT DANGER.
Col. Wood Said Americans should De.
pend on Civil Authorities.

"It Is dangerous tendency Of the
American people to depend upon tho
military instead of the civil authori-
ties for the maintenance of ordor In
times Of great stress" said Colonel
C. Il. 3 Wood. In lecture TO the Peo-
ple's Forum in Portland Monday.
Colonel Wood based his remark on the
alleged looting and wilful shooting by
soldiers in San Francisco. c
Especially dangerous is the prac-
tiee of calling on the raw state militia
IN an emergency. The militiaman with
a rife in menace. He Is filed with
sense Of irresponsible power, and 10
not enough Of a soldier to respect his
superiors or exercise self control"
Colonel Woods views were generally
supported by other speakers in the open
discussion following.

Amelia Gardner's Coming

Amelia Gardner has been one of the
busiest women in New York for the
past six days-ever since Manager
Blaclxwood sent for her to return to the
Belasco theater as leading woman.
Miss Gardner was making arrange
ments for spending her summer at Lake
George, but inasnluch as the fire in Sar
Francisco deprived her Of her large
wardrobe she found it necessary to give
up the idea Of summer resting spell
and to devote the few days she had at
her command in New York to hunting
for new dresses for her Belasco per-
formances.
Miss Gardner will leave for Los An
geles next Tuesday morning. Tom
Oberle, when he heard in Phoenix of
the intended return of his former pro-
fessional associate to Los Angeles,
wired to Mr.. Blackwood for the exact
date of her arrival, stating that he
wanted to come over for two days and
act as chairman of a reception COM
mittee to welcome the actress back to
the scene of her earlier and numerous
triumphs. 1t will be Tom Oberle's first
visit to this city since he left for Ari-
zona. He reports that he is in splendid
health.
While Miss Gardner herself will be a
welcome addition to the local theatri-
cal colony the advent of the ubiquitous
Oberle will be almost as good news to
the people of this city.

given two weeks ago, she was battered
about enough to satisfy her worst en-
emy. Pryse Mackay, In the scene in
the hovel where he has delirium trem-
ems. was supposed to choke her to death
under the impression that he was chok-
ing q snake coiled about her neck.
His rendition of the part was so
lifelike and he put so much reality
into his work that he choked Miss
Hayward until she was nearly uncon-
scious and a doctor had to be called
to revive her
In "Lured from Home" there was
another scene where Mackay, as the
brutal and unscrupulous villain,
smashes King upon the head with a
bottle, with the result that the bottle
breaks and King falls unconscious. The
first three performances went all right,
and the bottle broke without much of a
blow. but the next night, for some
reason, the bottle did not come apart
when King was struck with 1t, and the
man with the black mustache kept
on banging away until finally it did
break BY that time, however, Kings
head was covered with bumps.
The next night a mere tap was all
that was necessary to break the glass;
ware.
1t is not singular that so many acci-
dents happen to melodramatic actors,
for their lives on the stage are replete
with horror and the accidents that
really do happen to them are but
trifiing compared to what they endure
every night.

teamster and severely injured, and
while that injury was not received
while she was acting, accidents seem
to be the lot in life of the melodrama
actress and actor.
Real Danger Exists
When "Lured from Home" was bring
ing tears to the eyes of impressionable
women a scene was given that was
most dangerous to the participants, al
though no tears were shed over it.
Frank Frayne, in character part, was
obliged to swing across a street on a
derrick and nightly he risked his life
to give thrills to the audiences.
A melodrama has usually one big
scene which calls for much cleverness
in staging 1t, This big scene almost
always has some element of danger for
the actors, but the riotous applause
which always greets the effort repays
the actors for any risks they take.
The position of heavy man in meo-
dramatic company is hard one. The
villain is cordially hated by the whole
house, and the gallery is especial
ly obstreperous in its demonstrations
against the unfortunate man. Kisses
and catcalls always greet the man with
the heavy black mustache whenever he
steps upon the stage.
Awful Tragedy s Averted
1t was the "Sign of the Four" that
nearly turned white the hair Of Her
bert Farjeon, the stage manager of
the Grand. In the second act of the
Sign of the Four" Sherlock Holmes,
played by Harrison King, was bound
to post and in front of him was a
keg supposedly filled with powder, in
which was a burning fuse. OF course,
Holmes succeeded in working his way
out of his bonds just in time to throw
the keg into the painted river
The same fuse was used for the EN-
tire week and Saturday 1t was only a
few inches long. That was considered
all right. however, as no possible dam
ger could be figured out by the stage
manager.
After the conclusion of the Saturday
night show the keg was about to be
placed I'm the property room when II
was discovered that there was about
two pounds Of powder I'm the keg and
that IL had been there all week. II
would have been very easy for a spark
to have dropped into the keg from the
fuse, and II that had occurred the pa
irons of the Grand would have been

Goodwins Back at "Twenty-One"

THE best comedian of the American
stage is unquestionably Nathaniel
= c. Goodwin. For the past few
years the most successful actor of this
country is the same Nathaniel. He is
now seeking another lease of popular
theatrical popularity with the Henry
v. Esmond play, when We Were
Twenty-one.'
Goodwin has just gone through the
humiliating-for such popular star as
he, at least-eXperience Of seeing his
old friends turn away from his per-
formances with no words of praise for
his work His last failure was recorded
with THE Model" play that under
the title "The Genius and the Model'
was used earlier in the season to exploit
Harry Woodruff, a pretty boy actor,
and Edna Goodrich.
Miss Goodrichs chief claim to fame
in the show world lies In the fact that
at one time in her stage career she
ornamented one of the numerous orig
inal "Floradora" sextets. She man
aged to convince some philanthropically
inclined old gentleman with the idea
that she possessed actual histrionic
talent and the result was found in a
widely advertised tour in The Genius
and the Model" A few-a very few
weeks convinced both Miss Goodrich
and her financial hacker that the the
ater-g going public did not propose to dis
play any unwonted enthusiasm over her
performances, and the tour came to an
abrupt termination.
Then Goodwin picked up the play
changed the title and-well, the result
was identically the same.
Now THE Model' occupies a nice
little spot in Goodwln's private play
graveyard along with his other late
lamented offerings, Beauty and the
Barge" "Wolfville" and THE Usur-
per-"
A fine showing for the best comedian
in America!
And yet Nathaniel persists in keeping
away from comedy!

Mfshaps In Melodrana

OTRENUOUS indeed is the life Of
the melodrama actor. and the
- people who win the approval of
the Grand audiences each week are not
exempt from the narrowing experiences
common to the lot of the class. Each
week some one of the company narrow
ly escapes death either on the stage
or on the street.
In the second act of Lost in a Big
City" which was the Grand offering
last week, red. hungry looking flames
come up through the floor TO simulate
q burning building. Harrison King,

cue the little blind girl from the flames
last Sunday afternoon and the Jets of
fire impolitely snged his eyebrows SO
that the handsome one now wears
made-up eyebrows.

Is it to smile or is it to sigh?


There have been so many changes in
local theatrical circles during the past
week that one hardly knows what to
make of it, The Belasco has turned a
complete somersault and is just be-
ginning to know whether it is standing
on it's head or on it's feet. After
Joseph Galbraith left everyone settled
down with the prospect of not being
SO disturbed again for a long time to
come and then everything was jumbled
UP again.
Miss Eugene That's Lawton had just
established herself at the beach for one
long jolly vacation when Manager
Blackwood, cruelty and with sinister
intent, summoned her back to her work
again. Things went smoothly enough,
even despite the fact of Miss Lawton's S
tired feeling. until she was assigned
her role in Soldiers of Fortune"
which will open tomorrow evening.
Miss Lawton objected and consequent
ly the Belasco is to have a new leading
woman while the erstwhile favorite
TRANQUILITY enjoys her disturbed vaca-
tion..
Wonders upon wonders, even here
the surprises did not cease, for Miss
Virginia Brissac's resignation was
rendered and accepted. Incidentally,
she needs rest. Miss Langham Will
have to cut short her stay in Chicago
to help fill up the vacancies here.
The Mason has been making good
this week. Fiddle -dee-dee" has made
a hit and a decided one. Miss Lille

and they have all proven that they
can be as popular with tht fashionable
crowd as they were with the more
mixed audiences at Fischer's.
After big banquet the Olympia
Opera company left the Hotchkiss
Monday night with all their colors
flying, and charming Lottie Kendall
will be sorely missed. Protests against
her departure were only stilled after
seeing her successors, Kolb and Dill
and their company of merry bur-
lesquers. In the "I. o. u" cast at the
Hotchkiss last week there were sew
eral changes the most notable being
the substitution of Miss Maude X. Will
liams for Miss Bessie Tannehil as Ann,
the Snowman daughter-probably just
to keep the ball rolling. My, what a
relief when all the Thespians settle
down again.
p. SD Gallagher quit the Mason
the week he began. He resigned the
day before he opened. There's quick
action for you! Right in the style, too.

s. H. Moore arrived home during the.
first of the week from trip to the Coos.
Bay country. In getting out from that,
section Mr.. Moore was obliged to stage
about rs miles over the mountains to
Roseburg. Almost railroad time is made
by the drivers on the route.
A most remarkable adventure befelf
Mr.. Moore and three of his companions
on the way out. In coming down the
last:large mountain one of the lead horses
SHE'D suddenly and a tug came unlocked.
Something was aoing very suddenly and
in some way the driver was thrown from
his high seat, taking the reins with him..
Mr.. Moore, who was riding with the
driver; was left on the perch unable to
do ANYTHING but hang on and ride, and
ride he did down the mountain side as
fast as frightened horses could race
and coach run.
All other passengers flew the coach
one after another, but still our townsman
kept his seat.
Finally he worked over to the brake
and set it hard. In time the animals.
came to bit of level ground and the
hraks. got in its work-.he team stopuai-
Nobody, not even the driver was serioas-
ly hurt, nor was there any other damage
done worthy of mention. 1t was mir
arulous escape.
