'sTHE HOUSE OF A
THOUSAND CANDLES

In this day of the ten cent maga-
zines with its twenty or so pages de-
voted to New York theatricals. the
public throughout the country are
well posted on this particular subject
This one fact is probably the cause
for the great increase in demands for
the better class of plays, and an at
traction that is successful on the road
must have first been a success in
New York.
One of the plays that was particu-
larly successful in New York and that
is now being presented on the road
to very large business is "The House
of a Thousand Candles" the attrac-
ton at the oregon theater on We'd
nesday, March 2. This play ran for
an entire season without having been
outside of three theaters, namely, The
Hackett and Days in New York, and
the Garrick in Chicago. In summing
up his criticism on the performance
the dramatic critic on the New York
Commercial said Altogether the
play is an agreeable surprise"

GREY-EGERTON LINEN
IN THE WASH AGAIN

London-Society is busy again dis
cussing the Grey-Egerton matrimo-
nial affairs.
Boston was as interested as Lon
don when Sir Philip Grey-Egerton
gallantly allowed his wife, who was a
Miss Cuyler, member of a promi-
nent New England family and niece
of Henry James, the writer, to divorce
him, as socialdom knew that she de-
liberately ran away from her hus-
band and children with r. McGreery,
to whom she is now married. Sir
Philip was devoted to his pretty, but
irresponsible wife, and allowed her
to bring the necessary charges against
him. Since the divorce their two
children have lived mostly with the
mother Recently the daughter de-
clared she could not endure home life
with her mother and ran away to
Eton. where her brother is at school
and the boy and girl determined to
live in the future with their father.
Now comes the announcement that
Sir Philip is engaged to Lady Clarke,
who divorced her husband, colonial
politician Lady Clarke also has two
children and the Grey-Egerton chill
dren will continue to live with Sir
Philip whose marriage to Lady Clarke
will be a quiet registry office affair.
Meanwhile Mrs. McCreery does not
find her life bed of roses. Her hus-
band is a popular and keen sports
man, but she has failed to gain real
entree Sir Philip is popular and his
second wife will be warmly welcom-
ed in exclusive circles.

LORD FARoUHAR
Business Adviser of King is Most In
teresting Person.

London.-There is no more inter-
esting personality in the financial or
social world of England than Lord
Farquhar, who is King Edwards ad-
wiser on all matters relating to His
Majesty's business affairs. Lord Far
quhar is now very wealthy, being a
director of PARIS Bank, in which con-
Germ he has considerable interest
and being on the directorate Of many
insurance and other important COM
panies. 1t is due to her dexterous and
somewhat daring evploitations Of
Lord Farquhar's tips that the Hon.
Mrs George Keppel has amassed a
fortune on the market.
Lord Farquhar began life compar-
atively speaking, a poor man. He
came of an old and distinguished but
by no means wealthy family. He was
younger son and was originally
destined for the diplomatic service;
but diplomacy Is rather an expensive
profession especially for a younger
son, and Mr.. Horace Farquhar-as
Lord Farquhar then was--detlded to
accept the offer of the late Sir Charles
Forbes of Newe, a wealthy banker,
and went to him to learn the banking
! business.
Mr. Farquhar's reputation as man
| possessing a singularly keen insight
into the intricacies of high finance
soon became known and some years
later Mr.. Farquhar joined the bank
| ing form of Sir Samuel Scot & Co.,
and became director of PARIS Bank
on the amalgamation of the two con-
Germs In 1898 he was created Baron
! Farquhar.
From his youngest days Lord Far
quhar has been a great favorite with
the royal family, and on His Majes-
! tvs accession was at once appointed
Master Of the Household. Lord Far
quhar did not intend to hold the po-
sition permanently. but merely took
it up at the Kings express desire In
order to carry out the many reforms
in the management Of the royal house.

Gus complications that it is impossi-
BILE to record them. Incidentally he
finds himself with party of friends
on yacht in mid-ocean in the throes
of a violent storm and in this scene
(Which covers an entire act) is dis
closed the unmistakable genius of
Frederick Thompson, who originally
produced the play. The realism of
this ship scene has unquestionably
never been approached and nothing
that the writer can say can even give
a faint idea of the magnitude and ddr-
ing disclosed. Messrs. Cohan and
Harris, who have secured the touring
rights to "Brewster's Millions" have
equipped it in the sume lavish fash
ion that marked the metropolitan en-
gagements, and the cast includes Roy
al Tracy, Carl w. Gerard, Gus Chris

Louise Sanford, Richard Webster,

KAISER LIKES AMERICANS.
Residents of United States Always
Welcome at His Court,

Berlin.-There is not the slightest
foundation for the reports cabled
from the United States that the Ger
man court has made formal protest
to the American embassy against the
increasing proportions of the Ameri-
can invasion of the kaiser's drawing
roows This statement is made on
the highest possible authority.
On the day after the reports in
question were sent from the United
States, Baron Won delh Kenesbick
chief master of ceremonies to the
court, called personally at the Am
erican embassy to say that two or
three places for Tuesday nights clos
ing court ball had suddenly become
vacant, and the court would be de-
lighted If the embassy would accept
that number of extra invitations.
Nothing in the shape of such rep
resentation has reached Ambassador
Hill, although it is undoubtedly true
that certain persons connected with
the court feel that too many Ameri-
cans are breaking into the charmed
circle of German royalty.

"THE GREAT DIVIDE" is

ed at the Oregon on Tuesday night,
March 1, by Henry Miller's especially
selected company of players. Most
dramas of western America have con-
cerned themselves with a material
struggle between a bad man and a
hero, with romance of the hero as
an Indispensable part of the plot
"The Great Divide" has its struggle,
but it is q psychological struggle be-
tween a free and easy son of the
Rockies and a high-principled girl of
the east. The girl. left at the mercy
of three drunken toughs (who shake
dice for her) marries one to save
herself from dishonor. The marriage,
even under these brutal conditions,
brings out all that is noble in the
man and kindles in his heart a great
purifying love. But the woman,
brooding over the situation, revolts
with all her being toward him, crush
ing the love that is awakened by his
natural nobility and keeps constantly
in mind the horror of their first meet

act, where the three liquor-crazed men
gamble for the woman they have
found alone and helpless in the des-

seen it to be the most dramatic scene
ever presented in the history of AM
rican drama. 1t is purely material,
and every point stands out clear, and
later on in the second and third acts
when the psychological element
comes to the front, the action of the
play becomes direct and the govern

play is rich in dramatic situations
and its lines possess literary merit
not often found in western plays. THE
