DO BLACK CROOK
WITHOUT BALLET

Think of 1t! "Black Crook without
the balleti
Two fate-tempting producers, Miller
and Plohn, have seen fit to tamper with
old traditions by substituting musical
numbers for the premiere danseuse and
her coryphees whom old timers used TO
see, but now, alas, see no more. One
can forgive Uncle Toms Cabin with
out the ice, but "Black Crook without
tiptoe dancers is too much.
Yesterday at the Grand the big aud
ience realized that something was
wrong. The hardened opera chair con-
tingent saw the well remembered
shivery Brocken settings in the first
act. Satan and the crafty magician
were familiar enough. But where were
the pirouetting fiuffy-ruffllesses that
made men lean forward in their seats !?
The nearest approach was fairies
dance.
Trick scenic features are made use
of at every opportunity by the present
company. The new "Black Crook is
full of surprises. One never knows
go through walls and hidden doors.
Patient, comical Greppo has a hard
time through it all, courting his loved
Carline.
The work of e. j. Willard as Hert-
zog, the magician; j. Edward Pierce,
as a versatile count, Satan and charac-
ter singer; William c. Welp as Greppo,
Bessie Browning as Carline and Marie
Roslyn as Stalacta. the fairy queen,
was very satisfactory to yesterday
audience: that of the other principals
much less so.
The singing and dancing chorus
makes numerous changes in costumes,
and though small numerically is we'll
garbed and well trained.
The masked ball scene permits the
introduction of half dozen speciality
turns of which the school Days" num-
her was best liked oy the gallery.

Music is Catchy

There are many good musical num-
bers in this piece. Most of the music
has a lifting, tinkling quality-the sort
Of thing you carry home with you and
try out on the piano-but it is not COM
monplace. None of the airs is reminis-
cent. Perhaps those that will be most
pleasantly remembered are Beautiful
Land of Bon Bon," "Mazie," "John
Dough-" "Springtime," Moon, Moon,
Moon," and topical song, "Old Rame-
ses." There are also several fine en-
semble numbers and part songs which
won't be remembered so easily. The
moon song has been effectively staged,
though practically the same device
was used here no longer ago than last
week in 1.-THE Blue Moon"
AS for the company, have little hes
itation in saying that these gingerbread
men and women make up the best bal
anced organization of the kind we have
had In Los Angeles this season. There
is nc star. Consequently there is no
exasperating subordination, no un-
necessary effacement of opportunity

THE cAS7
BY sIDLE LAWRENCE

n ASSING out of the Los Angeles
theater last night the house man.
Il ager stopped me at the door and
introduced ne to DIR. Throop, vino,
he said, is one of the city chemists.
1--WE have just succeeded in convinc-
ing the DOCTOR he added, that the
Gingerbread Man compile fully with all
the pure food laws, both national and
local" The doctor assured me this
was true. / am somewhat Skeptical,
though, not regarding the quality of
the bake shop product, but about that
doctor" He talked with Pennsyl-
vania accent, his eyes had the Phila-
delphia droop and he didn't look like
man with enough political pull to hold
office under the present administration.
However, this is no disparagement
upon "The Gingerbread Man." which is
gingery enough, crisp enough and nice
ly enough baked for any palate.
1t would be difficult to call 1.-The
Gingerbread Man. to book because the
book" in question scarcely rises to
the dignity of a pamphlet There is
even less to it tllan to the costumes of
the chorus, but what there Is serves
nicely and, by the same token, so do
the chorus costumes.
In6Te are MANY good lines III the
book, some of them written at the time
the piece was constructed, some several
years before, and a few since. And
there are a number of unusually clever
lyrics. The music is good; much bet
ter than the average and, fortunately,
it is sung by people who can and do
sing.
Here are a few of the observations
scattered through the dialogue:
A Few Gingersnaps
"'Tis better to have loved a short
man than never to have loved tall"
1T isn't always fiattery that turns a
woman's head; sometimes it's perox-
ide''
Laugh and the world laughs with
you; snore and you sleep alone"
Don't cry over split milk. Remem-
Der the cows have to make living"
"A nickel in the hand is worth two
in the slot machine"
Faint heart never filled a spade
flush" And these two nonsense verses:
Mary had little lamb.
She placed it on a shelf,
And every time it wagged its tail
1t spanked its little SELF
"'Twas little Miss Mabel
Who sat at a table
In down town cafe.
The lobster beside her,
For the supper inside her,
Had s22 to pay"

State Railroad Commissioner.

There is a growing sentiment
among the substantial commercial in
terests of the City Of Portland that
at least one member OF the State
Board OF Railroad Commissioners, in
order TO obtain the best results,
should be man with practical rail
road experience. In the pending
campaign such man is found in the
person of w. H. Hurlburt, who for
the past IS years has been engaged
in railroad work, having occupied
positions Of responsibility and trust
in every department--construction,
operating and traffic. 1t is generally
conceded that the expert knowledge
thus gained must be Of inestirnable
value to the board. Mr.. Hurlburt is
not now in any way either directly
or indirectly interested in, or con-
nected with, any railroad company
and is therefore in position to rem
der the state the best possible service
by dealing fairly with all interests in
yolyed within the jurisdiction OF the
Commission.

A FISHERMAN'S IDEA.
Communication Filed for Publication
in These Columns by Party
in Interest.

The following communication was
filed in this Office yesterday with the
request that it be published, favor
granted without specific comment;
an commenting on the mass meet
ing of the citizens Of Astoria for the
purpose of fish legislation through
the initiative and referendum, there IS
no doubt but it is a move in the right
direction. But, after hearing the rea-
son why most Of the cannerymen did
not donate to the fund before, was
that they had come to the conclusion
that Mr.. Rosenberg did not have the
matter as much at heart as one who
is engaged in fishing for salmon. AS
II looks much as il this movement
was so late as to endanger the vel
fare of this industry and therefore the
packers were opposed to putting up
money in the hands Of Mr.. Rosenberg
who has shown by the selection Of
his committee geographically, and
their conspicuousness at the mass
meeting by the absence of the people
on the committee outside of Astoria
that the only interest taken in the
matter was by the people Of Astoria
I whom he had to call to the rescue
as we heard no report from the presi
dent or any officers Of the salmon as
sociation. So at this time we do no
care to jeopardize the fighting repu
tation OF Bob Evans, until we SCI
the outcome of this battle, which il
our estimation would have been al
easy one if it had been properl,
managed.
