BY all means pave. 1t has been
worth more to us than all the boost
ing we have ever DONE"
This statement by P. D. Gilbert,
Mayor of Albany, Ore, sums UP the
general tenor of satisfaction which
runs through fourteen communica-
tions from the mayor and other offic-
ials of as many towns in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, to whom the
Chamber of Commerce has appealed
for assistance in solving Moscows
paving problem. Without exception
the city officials express satisfaction
with paving, and, in some cases, as
above say SO emphatically.
AS the result of the interrogation
propounded by the Chamber of Com
merce it is believed that Moscow will
be able to force the paving contractors
to approximate a price of not to ex-
coed $1.85 on "Bitulithic" paving, for
which other cities have been forced
to pay much more and between
$1.25 and $3.50 per square yard for
Hassam, or concrete paving, should
that kind be adopted. The letters in
full will be read at the big paving mass
Saturday evening at Eggan's
hall, at 8 O'Clock.

THE COSMOS.

The Waltz Dream at the Cosmos this
week is easily the most magnificent thing
that this popular playhouse has ever put
on. 1t is a singing and dancing pam
tomime with the scene laid in the beau

native and is splendidly rendered by a
trio of native singers and musicians. Miss
Veronica ConweI, who takes the char
acter Of Lolo, the dancing girl, is an ar
fist Of unusual ability ana her wrok de-
serves the highest praise. It is strong

crowed. Time and again did the dancers
demand encores on The Pickering

kept busy, and all the evening there was
a line waiting at the entrance to the

LAST NIGHT AT
THE THEATERS
POLLS.
aThe Fourth Estate. p

II Is seldom that a stock company In
this city has the opportunity Of pre-
senting for the first time a metropolitan
success-a play which has enjoyed long
runs in other large cities, but which has
somehow missed playing washington.
But the Poll Players are presented
this opportunity this week in the shape
OF Joseph Medill Patterson's The Fourth
Estate" the newspaper play, which was
booked at the Belasco several times
within the past two seasons, but which
was sidetracked every time. Therefore,
last nights performance at the Avenue
playhouse partook Of something OF the
nature Of premiere premier which
was far smoother and much more CO.
herent than is usual with first nights
on the regular" circuit.
Applying himself to his task with an
energy born Of the semi-socialistic creed,
Of which he is a devotee, the author Of
The Fourth Estate has taken the
newspaper game" which he knows
well and has woven around It a lively
drama Of graft and corrupt practices as
pitted against the humanizing and civil
iZing influences Of the press. The cor
ruption OF the judiciary, singularly APP
propriate in these days Of the discussion
Of the recall, is his principal theme and
the plays big scene" is built around
the young managing editors clever ruse
to trap a Federal judge in the act Of
Offering a bride. This, together with
the very true-to-life composing room in
the last act, where the audience is in
itiated into all the mysteries Of limo
types, forms, plates, and their adjuncts,
form the mainstay Of the play. The re-
rlainder is composed OF a very pretty
love story-interrupted in the first act,
but knitted together in the last-which
provides the heart interest for the piece.
Cast in the role Of the young idealist
who is made managing editor by the
new owner because he has exposed the
corruption Of a Federal Judge, A. II.
Van Buren, contributed one Of the best
hits he has produced this season. Wheel
er Brand, to the casual observer, provides
little opportunity for big acting-thers
is no character work, and repression
rather than expression as the keynote OF
the role. Mr.. Van Buren,, however, man
ages to Undue the part with an appeal
sOcialistic ideas of Brand quite natural
to the audience. Playing opposite Mr..
Van Buren, was Miss Jewell in the rather
small part Of Judith Bartelmy, daughter
Of the judge. Miss Jewelrs one big

during the rest OF the piece she ably ac-
cOmplished her principal duty-tO look

Mark Kent. whose admirers look for
a splendid characterization every week,

Just suppose for a moment that you

realm, filthy luCre. or whatever you may
| care TO call It, that a little thing such
| as your pet 81 a week bookkeeper sud.
| denly decamping with $4,000 wouldn't

wouldn't. but anyway, Seymour Sites did
and hence The Wrong Mr.. Wright"
three-act farce by George H. Broad
hurst, and one in which the Columbia
! Players scored last evening.
To be sure. old Sites wasn't much more
than a crusty old moneymaker until that
good looking female detective made eyes
at him, thinking. Of course. that she was
about to capture the thief and a goodly
reward at one and the same time. That
woke him up. and then things began to
happen that made the old gentleman 5
neice and nephew wonder II their eyes
had gone back on them. Just think Of
the stingy old rascal who hadn't looked
at a woman for twenty-one years burst
ing forth as a gay Lothario with nothing
in his pockets but money and nothing to
do but spend it, and you can see a
chance for many a laughable situation.
And there are many. especially in the
second act when Wayland Clingstone,
one of the boys Of long ago, but now
a most meek and proper clerical person,
meets his old college chum Sites, and is
promptly persuaded that Sites is not
Sites-as must be the case in all well
regulated farces-and when his sister
Arabella, appropriately termed AN un-
appropriated angel" comes face to face
with her love of long ago.
Then there Is that amusing scene be-
tween Sites and Henrietta Oliver, the de-
tectIve, when the lady uncovers what
she believes is proof that Mr.. Wright is
none other than the absconding book
keeper and does her best to hold on to
her tangible evidence thereof And that
scene in the third act when she finally
has him arrested-but then straightens
things out all right and agrees to take
her erstwhile prisoner into custody for
life.
Stanley James does excellent work as
the once Maynard Waylaud Clingstone
a character part which he makes his
own. George W. Barber carries the brunt
Of the work on his shoulders as Sey-
mour Sites, and carries It to the entire
satisfaction Of those out front. Frances
Nelson makes an attractive sleuth as
Henrietta Oliver, and Edwin H. Robins
as Capt. Crosby, helped keep Sites in
hot water Julia Blanc, as Arabella
Clingstone, ]. Hammond Daley, as Lord
Brazenface, and Aline McDermOtt and
Violet Heming, as Julia Bonds and TIL
lie Bird, offer capable support.
